What lengths would you go to, to change the world\u2026to inspire others to change the world? Alex Evans, along with three other military veterans, is rowing a boat across the Atlantic Ocean to do just that. He\u2019s part of the 1st all-American Military veteran team \u2013 aptly titled \u201cFight Oar Die\u201d \u2013 that will race across the Atlantic Ocean in December 2018, in the Talisker Whiskey Atlantic Challenge \u2013 a race that has challenged individuals and teams from around the world for years. Their goal is to increase \u201cawareness of and support for the cognitive, behavioral, and physical health of U.S. Military/Veteran personnel\u201d and inspire them and others to live their best life. In this episode, we sit down with Team Skipper Alex Evans and team psychologist and\xa0Iraq veteran, Dr. Jacob Hyde, who will be monitoring the team throughout the race to better understand the effects of mental trauma and extreme duress on the human body. Hear firsthand how this seemingly crazy idea came to fruition, and where it will take the Fight Oar Die Team by year\u2019s end\u2026and beyond!\nwww.usvetrow.org\nSupport the podcast by supporting our sponsors at\xa0www.hazardground.com/sponsors!\nHelp grow the show!
