Former Force Recon Marine and Mighty Oaks founder Chad Robichaux on losing the capacity to care, finding it again, and rescuing seventeen thousand people in the process.
Chad Robichaux served eight deployments to Afghanistan with a Joint Special Operations Command Task Force and came home with severe PTSD that nearly cost him his life. In this episode of Depth Over Noise, he joins Dr. Tony Nader to talk about the closet and the pistol, the steady love of his wife Kathy that reached him when nothing else could, the founding of Mighty Oaks Foundation that has now served roughly seven thousand warriors, and the 2021 rescue mission that became the largest civilian evacuation in American history. It is a sobering, hopeful, and deeply personal conversation about whether the capacity to care can be lost, and whether it can come back.
