This week, the boys sit down with Jose Pila, a combat veteran, scholar, and founder of Warrior Dog Spirit—a man whose journey is stitched together by battle scars, heartbreak, and an unshakable sense of purpose.

From surviving war zones to sleeping in his car, Jose opens up about the invisible wounds of PTSD, the bond with his service dog that saved his life, and the grief that nearly broke him after his mother’s suicide. Through it all, he kept moving—toward healing, toward legacy, and toward a mission bigger than himself.

Now on the brink of earning his Ph.D., Jose reflects on what it means to serve, to suffer, and to rise again. This episode is a tribute to the warriors who walk quietly among us—and the dogs who carry their pain without words.

🐾 For the dog that saw him when no one else could.💔 For the mother whose loss became his mission.🎓 For the veteran who turned trauma into purpose.
