We are the spark that drives change — where people come together to push limits, challenge the norm, and choose growth over comfort. This is where strength is built, purpose is sharpened, and community is forged. If you’re ready to break barriers and walk a different path, you’re in the right place.

Episode 11: "Hard as Woodpecker Lips" w/ Former Green Beret, Zack Garner
Just a year ago Zack was blind, partially paralyzed, heavily medicated, and slowly dying. Today he sits down with JD to talk about his journey from the trenches to the mountain peaks.
Zack is a former Green Beret and DoD Contractor, and is now the Vice President of Tactical Relief. Tactical Relief is a CBD company who is exploring non-pharmaceutical solutions to Traumatic Brain Injury, Post-Traumatic Stress, and Anxiety.
Zack has experienced an enormous amount of adversity from being medically retired from the US Army due to epilepsy, to being hit by a car, recovering, and later nearly dying from Necrotizing Fasciitis.
