In this episode of Ascended Warrior, I sit down with retired Green Beret Chris McY for a conversation about identity, resilience, mentorship, leadership, and what it means to truly lead yourself through life’s challenges.

Chris shares his journey from growing up in Liberty City, Miami, to serving in Special Forces, navigating military transition, overcoming setbacks, building businesses, creating documentaries, mentoring veterans, and authoring a leadership book focused on self-leadership.

Throughout the conversation, we explore how adversity shapes character, why mentorship matters, and how personal growth often begins when we’re willing to be honest with ourselves.

This episode is a reminder that leadership is not a title.

It is a practice.

And it starts from within.
