Send us a text Today, I sit down with Diana Devi as she interviews me in celebration of the three-year anniversary of the Couple O’ Nukes Podcast. Ms. Devi guides me through a conversation about my personal growth, my transition from the military, and the evolution of the show from its early origins to the self-improvement platform it is today. Together, we explore the intense, unexpected, and often chaotic journey I’ve taken over the past few years as I learned how to build a podcast, build a business, and rebuild myself along the way. I share how leaving the U.S. Navy’s nuclear community shaped everything about the way I work, think, and stay committed to long-term progress. Ms. Devi and I discuss the demanding pipeline of becoming a nuclear operator, the mental health battles within the military, and how those experiences became the foundation for the discipline, endurance, and mission that fuel Couple O’ Nukes today. We also talk through the major milestones—from traveling out of the country for the first time, to learning comedy, to navigating adulthood outside the structure of military life—highlighting how each step pushed me into deeper purpose and broader service. Finally, I walk through why I shifted the podcast from a military-focused concept into a global, life-improvement resource for anyone feeling lost, isolated, or unheard. Ms. Devi and I explore the heart behind this show: reaching niche audiences, elevating hidden stories, confronting trauma, and helping others rebuild their dreams in the aftermath of chaos.
