Andrew Einstein , a Marine Corps Veteran and a 14 year Law Enforcement Officer in the great state of New Jersey joins me on this episode. Andrew talks about his critical incident while on deployment and how coming back to “regular” life he struggled mightily, to the point of planning his own suicide. We talk about how a dog can save your life, which in Andrew’s case his dog Gunner did. Andrew is sharing his story to help others who may be in the same headspace or situation as he once was. Take a listen and reach out if you or someone you know is in need of help. Check out Andrew’s story on https://jerseymanmagazine.com/surviving-until-tuesday/ . We also talk about the book “Tribe” written by Sebastian Junger. This book is an amazing read that delves into the importance of community and how the community becomes stronger in the times of crisis and/or war.
