About this listen

In this deeply personal and powerful episode, host Manny Guzman opens up about the battles many never see — the quiet wars fought in the mind and the heart. Manny shares his own journey with PTSD, grief, trauma, and the demons that follow so many veterans and first responders long after the uniform comes off.

This is not a story of weakness — it’s a message of courage.
A reminder that asking for help is strength, not shame.
And a call to all who carry invisible wounds: you are not alone.

Through raw honesty and lived experience, Manny explores:

  • The realities of PTSD in military and police life

  • How trauma can hide behind a smile and a badge

  • Why talking to someone can be the first step toward survival

  • The power of community, vulnerability, and brotherhood

  • How healing starts with a single conversation

This episode is for anyone who has ever struggled in silence — and for the friends, family, and partners who stand beside them.

Together, we can heal. Together, we can survive.
This is Duty Beyond Duty.
