Summary
Shawn Johnson is a Texas native and former Navy SEAL who served multiple deployments in Afghanistan and Iraq before stepping away after eight years and returning home to build a new life. In this episode, Shawn shares what that experience actually looked like, from the realities of deployment and training to the challenges of coming home without structure, direction, or a clear path forward. The conversation moves through family, responsibility, and the weight that follows you back. We also get into the process of rebuilding, including training, psychedelics, and the role of brotherhood in finding your way again.
