In Part 2 this powerful episode of 8158 Podcast: Stories of Sacrifice, we sit down with Jason Andrews—a veteran, father, and advocate whose journey is nothing short of inspiring. Jason grew up in California with dreams of becoming a chef, but the events of 9/11 changed his path forever. He went on to serve in both the Army and Coast Guard, where his career brought him face-to-face with some of the nation’s most high-profile cases. But Jason’s story doesn’t end with service—it’s a journey through injury, depression, and near loss, to resilience, community, and purpose. Doctors once told him he’d never walk again. Today, he runs marathons, tackles Spartan races, and is training to set a Guinness World Record. Jason also shares his heart as a father navigating his daughter’s ongoing medical battles, his passion for helping veterans with VA claims, and his upcoming podcast Alpha Ready. This episode is a raw and motivating reminder that even in the darkest moments, there is always a reason to fight forward. 💙 Support the mission: Donate to the William H. “Bill” Butler Jr. Foundation: 🔗 https://www.8158podcast.com/donate 🌐 Website: 🔗 https://www.8158podcast.com 🎙 Want to be a guest?
