The Wild Chaos Podcast

Father. Husband. Marine. Host.

Everyone has a story and I want to hear it. The first thing people say to me is, "I'm not cool enough", "I haven't done anything cool in life", etc.

I have heard it all but I know there is more. More of you with incredible stories.

From drug addict to author, professional athlete to military hero, immigrant to special forces... I dive into the stories that shape lives.

I am here to share the extraordinary stories of remarkable people, because I believe that in the midst of your chaos, these stories can inspire, empower, and resonate with us all.

Thanks for listening.

wow episode 22. Was the episode number chosen because of the topic of suicide? If so that was brilliant. I served with Chris Ingram for several years in Washington. If he didn’t come one here and tell this story you would have never had a fucking clue at just how hard of a damn life the guy has lived! I was in the Army a little over 20 years and without a doubt Chris was one of the most well spoken,respectful,smart,hard working,just one of the BEST NCOs I ever worked with. I’m happy he ended up in Idaho because I live in McCall. I’m going to call him today. Man this shit made me cry. I had to pull over and get my shit together. This podcast has to get VIRAL ON EVERY PLATFORM POSSIBLE!!!! Thank you for taking the opportunity to talk with him! On another note Team River Runner and the local wounded warriors program also get vets together for some water time. I hope to see you guys on the water someday.
