Anthony Dyer | Retired Combat Veteran, 14 Deployments. On rock bottom, writing through it, and scars as a roadmap.

Descripción

Here's the Spotify description: He joined the Air Force for a paycheck. No direction, a chip on his shoulder, and no real plan beyond getting out of a small mountain town in western North Carolina. What happened over the next 20 years — 14 deployments, a gunship over Afghanistan, a torn pec mid-hoist in East Africa, a waffle man who turned out to be the enemy, and eventually a bottle that almost cost him everything — is the kind of story that doesn't get told enough. Anthony Dyer told it anyway. And he wrote it down. ☕ If this episode hit, support the show → buymeacoffee.com/lifebtwtitles In this episode you'll learn: * How to find purpose again after the mission that defined you is gone * How to feed the positive wolf when you've spent years doing the opposite * Why "we'll see" might be the most powerful two words you carry into uncertainty * How writing down your trauma becomes the beginning of healing * How to keep your identity intact through every reinvention, not just the ones that worked There's a line Anthony said that I keep thinking about: scars are a roadmap to perseverance.

Gladdys Uribe on Immigration Law, ICE Raids, & Building a Practice on Your Own Terms

ICE raids. Deportations. A system moving faster than families can react. Immigration attorney Gladdys Uribe sees it all in real time — and she decided at 16 she'd be the one standing between her community and the worst of it. The daughter of Mexican immigrants, trained under one of LA's top lawyers, she built her practice on her own terms — as a working mom, in the middle of the most chaotic enforcement era in decades. In this episode, we talk about what it actually looks like to say yes when fear is the loudest voice in the room. If this show has helped you, consider buying me a coffee: buymeacoffee.com/lifebtwtitles [https://buymeacoffee.com/lifebtwtitles] ————————————————————— In this episode you'll learn: * How to build a career around a mission you committed to before you knew what it would cost * How to navigate a field that wasn't designed for you — and build a practice on your own terms * What ICE enforcement actually looks like on the ground right now, and what families need to know * How to use fear as information instead of a reason to stop * What it means to practice immigration law as a working mom without apologizing for either role The immigration system didn't get more forgiving. The enforcement didn't get quieter. Gladdys built her practice anyway — not in spite of the pressure, but inside of it. This is what it looks like when someone says yes to the thing that scares them, and keeps saying it for 26 years.
