S6 E52: A Soldier from The North with, Dan Roberts

Dan Roberts grew up in a small town in Newfoundland, Canada and moved to Ontario when the attacks on 9/11/2001 negatively impacted the sawmill his Dad employed by, causing its closure. Dan joined the Canadian Army at the age of 18 and was posted in Valcartier, Quebec where he was stationed with the Vandoos (Quebec's infantry unit), and deployed to Afghanistan in 2009. Dan's transition back into civilian society included work in security, and after understanding and working to control PTSD, he has engaged with the work of helping others through the challenges in their lives. He has a lot of tattoos, and we talk about some of them as Dan conveys his journey on this earth.
