Episode 16: "Living is the Most Punk Shit I've Ever Done", w/ Former Green Beret, Zack Garner

The Catalyst Collective

In this episode, JD and Willie sit down with return guest, Zack Garner. You may remember Zack from Episode 11 where we heard his story of trauma and recovery.
Life has it's ups and downs, and Zack is now enjoying a series of fortunate events. He's fresh off the 7x Project where he travelled across the world visiting 6 of 7 continents for a series of runs, swims, and sky dives collectively with the team involved. After that he joined Task Force Dagger for a MIA dive off the coast of Saipan, attempting to recover the remains of WWII Service Members.
On top of the stories of adventure, this may be the funniest episode to date. The boys somehow get on the topic of changing the Virginia flag to include not one, but two respectable breasts. Yep.
If you need a laugh, this one is for you!
