Today, I sit down with Brandon Held, host of the Life Is Crazy podcast, to dive into a raw and unfiltered story spanning abuse, betrayal, military injustice, and personal transformation. Mr. Held walks us through his earliest memory at just two years old—witnessing domestic violence—and how that shaped his lifelong drive to protect others. We discuss his experiences growing up around addiction, fear, and powerlessness, and how joining the Air Force at 17 was his escape from helplessness and chaos.

We explore Mr. Held’s dual military career—four years in the Air Force followed later in life by another four in the Army—and the heartbreaking moments of being sabotaged by leadership, falsely accused, and forced to leave with less than he deserved. Alongside this, we talk about his multiple marriages, his toxic relationships, and how his current wife helped him confront emotional abuse patterns that lingered from childhood.

In partnership with all of this, we cover the truth about military culture, VA healthcare, and the tough lessons learned about leadership, ego, and accountability.

Finally, we shift to healing—how to survive job loss, divorce, and suicidal moments by choosing growth, refusing to self-destruct, and pushing through. Mr. Held’s podcast offers deeper insight into these themes, with his first 25 episodes chronicling his entire life story. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by your past or trapped by your circumstances, this conversation proves there is a way out—and that even the craziest life can be used to lift others.
