Episodes discuss topics that can be triggering,

such as emotional, physical, and sexual violence, animal abuse, suicide, and murder.

listening. Seth Gale is a father, veteran, construction industry professional, speaker, and advocate from Ohio.

Seth faced ongoing sexual abuse in his youth and recently began to share about his experiences

and all that came next legally and personally.

Seth's mission is to use his story to bring awareness to society and offer hope to other survivors.

We are so grateful he is here to do so with us today, especially considering April is

Sexual Assault Awareness Month.

My name is Seth Gail. I live in Atlanta. I compete in Jitsu. I run ultramarathons. I work into construction

industry as well. I'm married. I have two kids, a five-year-old or three-year-old, and that is what is

taking up my life right now. As far as my loved ones and how they would describe me, I would say passionate and very

fired up when I am talking, especially about something that I care about deeply. So I'm very

driven, motivated, discipline. I'm writing a book right now, doing a lot of speaking. I have my first

actual paid speaking event tomorrow, which is pretty cool. Speaking at a local college, you hear about what we're going to talk about today.

I was born and raised in Lima, Ohio, which is Northwest Ohio.

There's nothing of a cornfields up there.
