Scott Leeper: From Marine to Mentor
I'm a life coach and I started a nonprofit for life coaching for vets at little to no cost to them.
Scott Leeper's journey is nothing short of remarkable. In this episode of 'The Allen Steele Show', host Allen Steele sits down with Scott, a Marine veteran who turned his life around from battling addiction and PTSD to becoming a life coach and public speaker. Scott's story begins with an impulsive decision to join the Marines, which soon became a defining chapter of his life.
He opens up about the trauma he faced during his deployment, especially around the time of the September 11th attacks. Returning home was far from easy; Scott found himself grappling with addiction and PTSD, challenges that many veterans face. But his story doesn't end there. Scott's resilience led him to life coaching, where he now dedicates his time to helping other veterans through his non-profit organization, Alpha Lima Charlie.
He also co-authored 'Drowning in Addiction, Sink or Swim', shedding light on the impact of trauma on veterans and their families. This episode isn't just about Scott's struggles; it's about his transformation and his mission to support others. If you're looking for a story of hope, resilience, and the power of community, this episode is a must-listen.
