Ep. 347 – Anthony Dyer

  1. Ep. 347 - Anthony Dyer The On Purpose Podcast 52:10

In this powerful episode of The On Purpose Podcast, Jerrod Hardy sits down with Anthony Dyer, a former U.S. Air Force special missions aviator, to explore the real cost of service—and the path to healing after it.

Anthony shares his journey from high-risk combat missions to facing Trauma, addiction, and the loss of identity that many veterans and first responders silently carry. Through raw honesty and hard-earned perspective, he opens up about what it takes to rebuild a life rooted in purpose, resilience, and truth.

This episode is a reminder that vulnerability isn’t weakness—it’s the gateway to healing, connection, and lasting strength.

I am a retired police officer (though that money is set aside for our future selves, because we did so at a young age, 46) who now travels the country with my wife and our puppy living full time out of our Airstream.

We run a successful podcast, The On Purpose Podcast in which we share weekly episodes interviewing all sorts of fascinating people we meet around the country who are living their lives with purpose. It's been a fascinating run over the past 4 years and we love growing our purposeful living community around the world.
