What happens when the mission ends—but life doesn’t slow down?

In this episode of the Peace • Power • & Purpose Podcast, host Steve Morris sits down with David Griego, a 22-year retired U.S. Army veteran and current Senior Protection & Mission Assurance Advisor within the Department of Defense.

David shares the realities many veterans and high-performing men are unprepared for after leaving structured service—identity loss, mental and emotional transition, faith, family pressure, and the search for purpose beyond the uniform.

This is an honest, grounded conversation about leadership after service, recovery, and what it takes to stay disciplined and mission-focused when the rules change.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Life after the military and identity transition

• Mental health, recovery, and resilience

• Faith, family, and staying grounded under pressure

• Leadership lessons beyond the uniform

• Serving others when the mission evolves

This episode is especially relevant for veterans, first responders, leaders, and men navigating major life transitions.
