Mentors For Military Podcast

Jared Rinehart is a former U.S. Marine as an infantryman from 2006 to 2011, and separated as a sergeant. In 2013, he became a contractor and protected a base in the southern province of Afghanistan where he saw a lot combat. Phil Sussman is a former U.S. Army cavalry and civil affairs officer who saw the trauma of war from his three deployments and he spent a total of 10 years in service. In this episode (Part 1 of 2) Jared and Phil join us to discuss how veterans are now turning to psychedelics to help them heal from the trauma of war. After experiencing the positive effects of psychodelics himself during a trip to Peru, Jared knew this was his purpose: to help others like himself overcome the demons he knew too well. Both share their own personal experiences, the challenges of using psychedelics as part of the healing process and having to face their demons, how the process shouldn't be taken lightly, and how it's helped them in their healing journey. It's not the destination, it's part of the journey.
