Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Brandi McBride: There’s Strength in the Struggle
Q: What led you to Boulder Crest and the Warrior Path program?
After a cancer journey, a difficult marriage, and feeling adrift, I found Boulder Crest's retreat with its focus on processing struggle and rebuilding purpose to be the perfect reset.
Brandi McBride: There’s Strength in the Struggle
Q: How did your path to service begin, and what drew you to join?
A ROTC aerospace studies class sparked my interest in leadership and service, leading me to pursue the Air Force as a natural fit for my background and goals.
Brandi McBride: There’s Strength in the Struggle
Q: What branch did you serve in, and how long were you in the Air Force?
I served in the Air Force from 1999 to 2007, traveling and taking on roles across various fields, including combat support and protocol, which shaped my broader sense of service.
Art Grau: The Long Journey Back From Vietnam
Q: Art, can you share how your experience in Vietnam connected to your decision to pursue speech pathology after you returned?
The goal was to help people, to work with those dealing with injury or trauma in a direct, hands-on way. I wanted to use my experiences to aid others in rehabilitating and reclaiming their lives, which led to a career in medical rehab and, later, writing.
Andrew Dotas: Surviving the Fargo Ambush
Q: Well, speaking of the learning side of things, you had an early introduction to Boulder Crest which is atypical for many of the people we talk to. Tell me about that one-dayStruggle Well class that you took.
He explains his decision to attend a Struggle Well program as part of the department's wellness efforts, his initial reluctance, and how that experience became pivotal after surviving the Fargo ambush, shaping his perspective on post-traumatic growth and faith.
