In today’s episode, I sit down with JD Tremblay — military veteran, author of Hunger for More in Life, faith‑driven mentor, ultra‑endurance athlete, and one of only three people on the planet to complete the EpicDeca. JD’s story is one of grit, transformation, and an unshakeable commitment to becoming more than his circumstances.
We dive into JD’s early life, including the impact of his parents’ divorce at age 14 and his decision to join the military at just 17. He opens up about the lessons the military taught him — the real difference between weakness and vulnerability, the internal battles many men face, and the dangers of numbing mental health struggles with substances.
Together, we explore the role of 12‑step programs, and I share my perspective on why celebrating sobriety milestones can sometimes create pressure that leads to relapse. JD speaks powerfully about the importance of having a belief system, the stigma surrounding men’s mental health, and the lack of resources that inspired him to create the Hungry Warrior Academy.
This is a raw, honest, and deeply human conversation about resilience, identity, and what it truly means to fight for your own life. Tune in for an episode that challenges, inspires, and stays with you long after it ends.
