I visited James \\u201cTip\\u201d Tipton at his home in Panama City, FL where we recorded this interview. Tip shares pieces of his story with me. James Tipton was medically retired after 23 years of honorable service in the United States Air Force. He was deployed 13 times during our country\\u2019s fight against terrorism. This conversation is filled with revelations concerning life, leadership, battling PTSD, discovering purpose, and some of the pros and cons of becoming a paraplegic. There are some emotions revealed and colorful language is not in short supply. If you or someone you know is struggling with PTSD or suicidal ideations, this episode may provide some answers. I have listed resources that are available to veterans and first responders on my website\\u2019s resources page: https://www.hollenbachleadership.com/resources

You are not broken and You are not alone
