About this episode
In this episode, former recon platoon leader Clayton Smith shares his raw and compelling journey from combat in Afghanistan, where he earned a Purple Heart, to his personal battle with unaddressed trauma and alcoholism back home. He details his transformative experience with ibogaine therapy and his subsequent mission to co-found Beyond Service, a non-profit dedicated to providing free, comprehensive psychedelic treatment to veterans, first responders, and their families. Smith's story highlights the critical need for alternative healing modalities and destigmatizing mental health support within the veteran community.
