Description

Episode 261 of the Endless Endeavor Podcast features a powerful and deeply personal conversation with my friend Ricky Vann. Ricky shares his journey into the Navy and his experiences as a Navy Corpsman, including a look into his combat deployments and how those shaped him as a sailor, husband, and father.

What began as a discussion about military service quickly evolved into one of the most emotional episodes I’ve ever recorded. Ricky opens up about his family's battle with his wife's cancer diagnosis and treatment—a journey that tested him in ways most of us can hardly imagine. Through it all, Ricky has remained a rock for his family, embodying strength, resilience, and unwavering love.

It’s truly an honor to call Ricky a friend, and I’m grateful he trusted me with his story.
