Today, I sit down with Cory Brown to unpack a life that spans pre-9/11 service, an uncommon move from Army officer to enlisted NCO, and the hard lessons that follow after deployment. We dig into priorities, leadership without a degree, and why adversity is a constant teacher—plus what it takes to be honest about fitness, injuries, and the excuses that quietly end careers.
Mr. Brown takes us through the story behind his new YouTube series, Eat Your Feelings—a cooking-meets-comedy-meets-mental-health project built from grief, purpose, and community. We talk production value, filming multiple episodes in a day, and making “hard talk” palatable with food and humor. Mr. Brown explains how the show blends therapeutic kitchen time with real conversations about suicide prevention and recovery, aiming to help viewers feel seen, heard, and motivated to seek resources when they need them.
We wrap the episode up discussing future projects and Mr. Brown shares what his last meal would be.
