Marine to Tedx speaker with Garret Biss

  1. Marine to Tedx speaker with Garret Biss HomeFront Sitrep 1:08:10

Garret Biss is a retired Marine Corps Pilot. Post-Retirement in 2015, Garret confronted challenges common among veterans: Anxiety, Depression, and a sense of displacement. Turning to alcohol as a crutch, it wasn’t until suicidal ideation took hold that he sought change. Rather than traditional addiction treatments, Garret’s path was shaped by mentoring that emphasized self-worth, rediscovering identity, and tapping into inherent strengths. This approach not only alleviated his addictive behaviors but also reignited his passion for life.

This started Garret’s journey into studying applied positive psychology and the science of human flourishing. Garret’s transformative experience sparked his commitment to assisting others with personal Growth and recovery tools grounded in positivity and personal strengths.

Garret’s purpose now extends beyond helping Veterans emerge from the darkness; his aim is to propel Veterans to their highest potential for happiness, wellbeing, success, and contribution.

David Willis HomeFront Sitrep Podcast

My name is David Willis, I knew at a very early age that I was going into the military but didn’t know what branch. As I got older and started learning about each branch and quickly figured out that the Marines was the best. I served in the Marine Corps from 97-04. My MOS was 0311(infantry). I went to Paris Island for boot camp after boot camp I was stationed with 2nd blt 8th Marines Golf company. While with 2/8 I went on several deployments to port a prince Haiti, Okinawa, South Korea, Greece, also did two trips to Bridgeport California for cold weather training, I wasn’t going to make a Mediterranean float so I extended and joined 1st blt 8th Marines Bravo company. During my time there we deployed to the Mediterranean and had stops in Spain, Italy, Malta, Africa, and other ports. I got out of the Marines in August of 01, but 9/11 happened and was recalled to go back in where I was stationed with a mobilization support battalion and deployed.
