About this episode

Marsha speaks with David Morrow about his transition from military service to advocating for veterans' health and wellness.

In this episode, Marsha is speaking with David Morrow. Dave spent 15 years serving Canada — until an injury sustained during his 2010 Afghanistan deployment eventually ended his military career and started a new one. Today, Dave is the founder of The Hard To Kill Project, a fitness and wellness ecosystem built specifically for veterans. Through the award-winning Hard To Kill Podcast, the Veterans Getting Fit AF community, and programs like VALOR and ATHENA, he’s on a singular mission: to help 100,000 veterans lose 2 million pounds. He’s also the author of Harden The F*ck Up, host of the Biology of Service Symposium, organizer of Canada’s first Silkie Hike to end veteran suicide, and founder of the newly launched Hard To Kill Foundation.
