Episode 1- "After the MEDEVAC" - featuring former Army Ranger and current Flight Nurse Brendan Jannesen

In this episode, we sit down with Brendan Jannesen, former Specialist with 1st Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment, Alpha Company, who served from 2005–2012 as both a JTAC and combat medic. Brendan shares an unfiltered look into life on target: taking casualties on missions, the realities of high-risk operations, and the day an injury changed his career forever. After being medically discharged, he faced a new and silent fight—the battle of recovery and rebuilding identity outside of the military. Today, Brendan continues serving others as a civilian flight nurse, flying critical-care medevac missions on AW119 helicopters. His story is one of purpose, resilience, and finding a new mission as one uniform comes off and another is put on. If you’re drawn to stories of Special Operations, Medevac operations, and overcoming obstacles, this episode is for you.
