From Naked And Afraid To National Icon: EJ "Skullcrusher" Snyder’s Ultimate Life Guide

Send us a text

Today, I sit down with EJ “Skullcrusher” Snyder — U.S. Army veteran, survivalist, and star of Naked and Afraid. Mr. Snyder shares his 25-year military career, including combat tours in Desert Storm and Iraq, and how his post-retirement journey took him into the world of survival instruction, motivational speaking, and reality TV.

We unpack his six appearances on Naked and Afraid, his legendary 206 total survival days on camera, and the mindset it takes to endure both physical wilderness and personal trauma. Mr. Snyder talks about acting, voice work, his time as an Army Ranger instructor, and how he found new purpose after the military through creativity and entertainment.

More than a warrior, he opens up about PTSD, veteran suicide, and how small acts of kindness can save lives. This episode is packed with stories of grit, humor, and deep reflection—and it’s proof that life after the uniform can be even more impactful than service itself.
