High-stakes careers come with a heavy price. Scott May is here to talk about the cost of service and the road to recovery. In this episode of The Grey Man Podcast, Harley sits down with Scott May—an Iraq and Afghanistan war veteran, former Cavalryman, and ex-Victoria Police officer. Scott provides a brutally honest account of why he chose to walk away from two elite, high-pressure careers and the personal battle with PTSD that followed. Scott dives into the grit of Cavalry deployments in the Middle East and the jarring reality of transitioning from the ADF to civilian policing. He doesn't shy away from the "darker" side of mental health struggles, sharing how he navigated the depths of trauma to find a new mission. Today, Scott is the driving force behind Young Veterans and Real Steel Rescue, dedicated to providing the specialized support he once had to find for himself.
