Dan served 16 years in the Australian Army with multiple deployments before a serious spinal injury forced him into the brutal transition many veterans fear — life without the uniform. Identity, purpose, and direction were suddenly gone. Instead of breaking, Dan rebuilt. Today he is the Chairman of Trojans Trek, a wilderness-based recovery program helping veterans, first responders, and police reconnect with purpose through hardship, reflection, and tribe. But this episode goes deeper than the program — into the real psychological fight behind transition. In this conversation we cover: The identity loss that comes after service Injury, adversity, and forced reinvention The role of hardship and wilderness in recovery Rebuilding purpose and direction post-military What Trojans Trek is truly doing for veterans This is not a war story. This is what comes after. Support / Learn more about Trojans Trek: https://trojanstrek.com
