1 Mile 1 Veteran

✅ Marine Core Marathon | 4:33:10

I went into this race not physically at my best, without having completed the training plan I had hoped to do, and with less sleep than I would have liked - but I walked away with a new personal best and so much gratitude.

The people in my life fueled me. From my siblings traveling to cheer me on in person, to Ryan who was my battle buddy throughout the race, to my wife Leigh Anne tracking every footstep and praying along the way, to for all of the support and making this happen, and all the other friends and family who encouraged me, I am so thankful for you.

I am truly humbled and blessed by all of you!

Where can one mile take you?

For the past year, we have been walking one mile every day all around the world. Today, I was thinking back to this particular morning in Tuscany. It was so peaceful as we walked through the fields at sunrise.

Fast forward to this week, which is one of the busiest we have had in a while. And while it has been anything but peaceful, we are still walking one mile every day.

The lesson we have learned: stay consistent. Whether you are strolling leisurely through Italian vineyards or briskly walking at the airport while waiting for a flight, keep at it!

What’s one daily positive habit you are building?

We all have emotions and a wide range of them at that. Instead of labeling any of them as good or bad or even unprofessional, let’s see them as indicators and something we can learn from.

Our upcoming podcast guest is retired Air Force Colonel , and she explains that good leaders do not ignore the emotions of those they are leading. They know how to navigate both the command readiness as well as creating space for addressing emotions and mental health. We are excited for you to hear this awesome conversation with an amazing leader.

In all of our travels, we have found there is truly no place like Hawai’i.

After 18 months of travel and spreading the mission of 1 Mile 1 Veteran across the globe, it was a bit of an adjustment coming back to Oahu. But the past couple of weekends, we’ve reconnected with our ‘ohana here and finally feel at home.

This is why relationships are so important. Though sometimes it feels easier to isolate, life is so much more fulfilling with friends that love and support you.

And if you need a friend, please know that we care about you and are always here. Grateful for you!

Laying around or laying the groundwork for success?

Honestly, some days are harder than others, both mentally and physically, but by setting goals that we want to achieve, it helps hold us accountable (that and Alim at ).

This weekend, I’m looking forward to continuing to train for the Spartan Race! And if you are looking for a challenge, there is still time to join 😉

You can’t avoid it.

You can try (and I am sure we all have) but if you ever want to experience healing, you at some point need to face it head on.

In our next episode of the 1 Mile 1 Veteran podcast, we talk with Marine Corps veteran and VP of Nate McDonald about how to regain purpose by putting your ego aside.

We hope you’ll tune in for this powerful conversation!

Did you hear the news?!

In case you missed our last episode, we announced an exciting change. We will now release 2-part episodes, both available on the same day!

We’d heard many requesting longer podcast lengths, but wanted to still stay true to our 1 mile time frame (~22 minutes). So now those who want the longer episodes can listen to both parts back to back, and those that are walking 1 mile while listening have an additional episode they can listen to another day of the week!

What do you think of this change? Please let us know in the comments!

Moving day!

I’m sure this is a familiar scene to any of our military community. For us, we recently moved back home to Hawaii after traveling around producing our podcast and meeting veterans across the world.

This weekend is being spent sorting through boxes and reminiscing while we go along. One of the first boxes we grabbed had our Mickey and Minnie Mouse ears from our honeymoon - almost 10 years ago!

What are some items that you have kept that you just can’t seem to let go of?

31/05/2024

It was a big week for us.

Having now released 100 episodes of our podcast, we are left feeling grateful for all we’ve accomplished and also excited for the future of what 1 Mile 1 Veteran can accomplish.

Thank you for your encouragement and taking this journey with us!

Awareness is over - it is time for action!!

Please don’t get me wrong - awareness is so important. So much necessary time and money has been spent on mental health, wellness, and su***de prevention, especially for the community. And those efforts have been working. More and more people know about the issues affecting the veteran community.

But it can’t stop at awareness. We need to take action. For many veterans, we need to become active participants in our own mental health journeys. For others, we are called to advocacy or working in this field. If you are a friend or loved one, maybe it’s actively checking in on others to see how they are doing.

We talk about this and more in our upcoming podcast episode. It is actually a special 100th podcast episode and we are so excited for you to listen!

“The solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom.” - Abe Lincoln

This Memorial Day, we continue to honor and remember all those who gave their lives in service to our country.

To my brothers and sisters no longer with us, I miss you and will do my best to live a life worthy of your sacrifice.

27/05/2024

It’s almost time…

The 100th episode of the 1 Mile 1 Veteran podcast airs this week! And I had the pleasure of having Leigh Anne, my wife and producer, on the show to reflect on the journey so far.

This mission to help prevent veteran su***de by sharing inspirational stories and impactful resources is so near and dear to us. Thank you for your support along the way. Together, we can save lives.

For me, this weekend includes a lot of reflection.

In our fast-paced world, it’s easy to get caught up in the hustle. But taking a moment to reflect can be incredibly powerful for our mental and emotional well-being. It provides clarity, instills gratitude and improves overall balance in life.

But sometimes self-reflection can be a difficult process to start. Here are some tips that have worked for me:

1️⃣ Find a quiet space where you won’t be interrupted.
2️⃣ Journal. Write down your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. It helps to process them better.
3️⃣ Meditate. Focus on your breathing and let your mind wander through your thoughts.
4️⃣ Ask Questions. What went well today? What could I improve? What am I grateful for?

Taking time for reflection isn’t just a luxury—it’s a necessity for a balanced and fulfilling life. Take that time for yourself today. You deserve it.

Training for the Spartan Race in Hawaii this August is in full swing!

It’s going to be tough, but I know that pushing ourselves beyond our limits is where true growth happens. Embracing the pain now means I’ll be prepared when race day comes.

This journey is about more than just the physical challenge; it’s about mental resilience, determination, and proving to ourselves that we can overcome any obstacle.

It’s easy to stay comfortable, but real progress comes from stepping out of our comfort zones and facing challenges head-on. This race is a reminder that we can achieve amazing things when we commit fully and refuse to give up, no matter how difficult the journey gets.

We are teaming up with and there is still time to sign up and join us! DM us if you are interested!

Just do the next right thing.

You’ve heard us talk before about how incremental changes over time lead to massive transformation! Add discipline and a “get sh*t done” attitude and you will have the recipe for success according to our upcoming podcast guest, British Army veteran Nick Haley.

Nick persevered through some challenging times after his military service and went on to become a thriving entrepreneur and now host of the Little Bug Vets podcast. He is proof that life can change for the better if you keep working at it. We are excited for you to hear his story!
