Did you know, 22 veterans commit suicide every day in America? If we add first responders into this statistic, the number nearly doubles. This is unacceptable.
In this episode, we dive into a more sensitive topic. Jared discusses his past struggles with PTSD and opiates which eventually landed him in jail. As a former cop in Nampa, he had hit rock bottom and began to contemplate the unthinkable. Taking his own life.
Now, Jared and his partner roast and sell coffee with Zero Dark Thirty Coffee. Their proceeds are then funneled into their non-profit to help cover the cost for programs directed at veterans and first responders struggling with PTSD.
