Summary

In today's episode, I sit down with Kelsi Sheren, Canadian veteran, CEO of Brass & Unity, and author. Kelsi's unique journey through the heart of Afghanistan as an Artillery Gunner and "Female Searcher" in 2009 showcases a powerful narrative of courage, transformation, and the relentless pursuit of freedom. Beyond the battlefield, she shares her struggles and triumphs, transitioning from military service to founding a company dedicated to supporting veterans worldwide. Kelsi's story is not just about overcoming adversity but about the profound impact of finding purpose and the resilience of the human spirit to enact change and provide support for those who have served.
