Part 2 of my conversation with John Graham picks up where the chaos left off. After years of chasing danger, John finally has to face the fallout. He's led on a spiritual journey and a moment at sea that forces him to choose what kind of man he is going to be. This episode gets into the turning point: how he confronted his past, how he rebuilt himself, and how he committed to a life of service instead of adrenaline.

In This Episode

Vietnam, PTSD, and the emotional work he could no longer avoid
How encounter groups pushed him to confront himself
The unexpected spiritual path that cracked him open
The typhoon off Alaska that nearly killed him
The decision that changed his direction
How the Giraffe Heroes Project gave him a mission and a place to serve

If you missed Part 1, go back and listen — it sets the stage for everything John reveals here.
