64. Mental Health, Military, and Leadership with Author Daniel Zia Joseph, M.S.
We were honored to interview Dan, who published a book on mental health after leaving the Army as a combat engineer in 2022. A soldier in his platoon once survived a suicide attempt, and this inspired Dan to write a book to educate incoming leaders on the importance of proactively strengthening mental health and resilience. Dan shares his thoughts and the research he conducted to help military leaders and others prevent suicide in the military. His book, "Backpack to Rucksack: Insight Into Leadership and Resilience By Military Experts,” is a great read, filled with real stories about real people dealing with the trauma of combat.
