“If my family knew how to welcome me when I came home, instead of me feeling like I needed to run away from them, I think that would be a big thing.” -Ejay Menchavez
The transition from military to civilian life can be challenging for some veterans. While most say readjusting to civilian life was easy, roughly one in four say it was at least somewhat difficult. This is why most of the warriors in our communities need reintegration practices to help cope with civilian life.
In this episode of The Wenner Folsom Battle Tested Resiliency Podcast, we are exploring some of the reintegration best practices from Army Ranger, Ejay Menchavez. Ejay is a decorated combat Army Ranger who left the military, struggled with the reintegration process, and eventually discovered dance as a means of expression. He ultimately received his degree from USC’s, Masters of Business for Veterans and has transitioned into the role of the “warrior in the garden” as he continues to mentor others.

“Having or not having allies is the difference between your SUCCESS or your FAILURE.” - Joshua Wenner
In today’s episode of The Wenner Folsom Battle Tested Resiliency Podcast, Joshua and Philip dive into why Allies and accountability are key to achieving the results you want in your life. Both Joshua and Philip work in the warrior resiliency field and they understand the effects of clinical anxiety, depression, addiction, and suicide. And a lot of this can be traced upstream to isolation, and not having support. These are the things that affect men and women who don't have allies.
Listen to this conversation, as they talk about The Importance of Allies — because your success or failure could depend on it

“The secret to life is knowing that our life is not about us. It’s about the way we serve others.” -Sam Morris
In today’s episode of The Wenner Folsom Battle Tested Resiliency Podcast, we are joined by Sam Morris. He is the founder of Zen Warrior Training. In 1999, at the age of twenty-four and just after leading a bicycling trip for nine teenagers across the United States, Sam was in a car accident caused by a drunk driver which left him a paraplegic. Years of complications from his injury forced him to experience over a dozen surgeries and to become bedridden for over three years, two of which were in hospitals.
Determined to not become the victim of his circumstances, Sam learned and created a system of mental and physical training based on Zen philosophy, meditation, and somatic disciplines that healed his mind and his relationship to his body, ultimately bringing him more vitality and clarity than he had before his injury. He created Zen Warrior Training as a means by which to share what he has learned about the power of our minds to create the conditions of our lives with the world.

“Lone wolves do not heal broken bones. It takes the pack to be able to provide and protect so that your bone can heal otherwise you die, and that might be a career death, it might be financial death or it may be actually a real death. But whatever it is, that is your marching orders as warrior culture is to be able to address these issues and not avoid them, no bypass.” -Phlip Folsom
In today’s episode of The Wenner Folsom Battle Tested Resiliency Podcast, Joshua and Philip, traditional warrior class men and ex military talk about how emotional trauma affects us and the 4 levels of emotional trauma. One thing that warriors need to be careful of is treating a level 3 trauma like a level 4 trauma as they resist getting help from professionals when they have an emotional break and instead they treat it like an emotional amputation. The average man or woman living in the United States on average has 3 major traumatic emotional events in their lifetime whereas first responders have on average 180. It's critical for those who deal with emotional trauma as part of our careers to get the care we need to help to repair the break and get us back into life.

“Men, in particular, require initiation. Women seem to in most cultures almost self initiate, although they certainly need some support and accountability to become a full psychologically functional woman, but for Men MANDATORY.” -Philip Folsom
The process of becoming a man, whether through ceremony or not, takes time. However, rites of passage are vital in defining when a boy should begin to perceive himself as a man when he should begin to act like a man, when the community should begin to accept him as a man, and when he should begin to shoulder the duties of a man. Many young men nowadays resent their childhood because they lack these key markers, never knowing when they've truly "Manned Up."
In today’s episode of The Wenner Folsom Battle Tested Resiliency Podcast, Joshua and Philip are going to deep dive into one of the most important aspects of humanity that we have lost in our current culture of not only veterans, men, first responders, and this big issue, which drives resiliency, incredibly important is the topic of INITIATION.

“Jordan Peterson says that if you have to fight a dragon, you should go to its lair. Otherwise, it comes to your f***g village. And that resiliency, trauma dragon is now fully in our society. So we're going to war with that dragon on this podcast.”
Both Joshua Wenner and Philip Folsom are Air Force and Army veterans, respectively. They have also been in this applied resiliency and leadership space for probably 50 years. This is not just randomly grabbing information off of the shelf of Wikipedia. This is actually stuff that has been applied at a very high level with a whole slew of warrior-based culture organizations, in addition to entrepreneurs and other really high-end corporate organizations.
In the first episode of WENNER-FOLSOM PODCAST: BATTLE-TESTED LEADERSHIP AND RESILIENCY. Joshua Wenner and Philip Folsom bring with us a platform that will give us the awareness and tools to respond to some trauma from our past and help us to handle our responsibility as men, as warrior culture to become better, and that better means leveling up our relationships, body, health, vitality, spiritual practice, and purpose in our careers, and our finances and our wealth.
We're gonna keep pushing these out once a week. Please keep tuning in, and let's change the world!
