About this listen

What would you pay to protect your focus, your family, and your mission?

In this episode of Veteran Led, host John S. Berry tells the true story of a Marine Veteran who wrote a $97,000 check—not to keep fighting a legal battle, but to take control of his peace and focus. It’s a leadership lesson on knowing when to press forward and when to let go.

John breaks down how leaders can recognize when a problem is doing more harm than good—and how making the hard call can help you lead stronger.

Whether you're a Veteran, entrepreneur, or team leader, this episode will help you think differently about where you spend your time, energy, and focus.

Key topics covered:

  • When the cost of holding on is too high
  • Leading under pressure without burning out
  • Tactical decision-making for long-term success
  • Why letting go can protect your mission
  • Mental health and stress management for leaders
