I had the privilege of sitting down with Garrett Biss, a fellow Marine Corps veteran. Garrett flew C-130s during his 16-year military career, but now, his mission has taken a different direction—helping veterans recover and reconnect with themselves after service.
From the moment we started talking, it was clear that Garrett’s passion for the Marine Corps runs deep. But, as Garrett and I both know, leaving that family behind after service can be one of the hardest parts of transitioning to civilian life.
Garrett opened up about the emotional toll of losing those connections. It’s not just about leaving behind a job; it’s leaving behind a way of life, and a sense of identity. This loss can leave veterans feeling isolated and unsure of who they are without their uniform. We dove into how this struggle with identity often becomes a barrier to recovery for veterans dealing with Trauma or Mental Health challenges.
What struck me most during our conversation was Garrett’s emphasis on the importance of authenticity in recovery. For him, it’s not just about following a prescribed path to healing, but about reconnecting with who you are at your core. Garrett’s work in the recovery space is all about helping veterans find that reconnection.
He talked about the Warrior Reset program, an initiative that offers veterans the tools and support to heal emotionally and mentally. Garrett also shared his TED Talk on the unspoken trauma many veterans carry with them—issues that often don’t get the attention they deserve.
