EE 261: From Battlefield to Broken Heart: A Corpsman’s Story with Ricky Vann

Episode 261 of the Endless Endeavor Podcast features a powerful and deeply personal conversation with my friend Ricky Vann. Ricky shares his journey into the Navy and his experiences as a Navy Corpsman, including a look into his combat deployments and how those shaped him as a sailor, husband, and father. What began as a discussion about military service quickly evolved into one of the most emotional episodes I’ve ever recorded. Ricky opens up about his family's battle with his wife's cancer diagnosis and treatment—a journey that tested him in ways most of us can hardly imagine. Through it all, Ricky has remained a rock for his family, embodying strength, resilience, and unwavering love. It’s truly an honor to call Ricky a friend, and I’m grateful he trusted me with his story. Please enjoy Episode 261 of the Endless Endeavor Podcast.

Om Podcasten

What's up guys, my name is Greg Anderson, and after spending a decade in the Special Operations/Para-Military community and 14 overseas deployments, I pursued a new career in Law Enforcement with the interest in putting the deployment lifestyle behind me. In light of so many events in 2020 regarding law enforcement I decided to speak up on the behalf of the profession and it ultimately cost me my job, but because of this I’ve taken my life in a new direction and one of my pursuits is launching this podcast! The Endless Endeavor Podcasts was created with the understanding that life is a continuous and arduous journey. I’ve learned that the only way I can grow and develop as a human is maintaining an understanding that there is always a lot to learn and preserve a curiosity across a wide spectrum of interests. Through this journey of life I have had the honor to walk amongst giants and look forward to bringing our listeners quality content on a variety of topics. We will be delving into military operations, jiu jitsu and martial arts, liberty and freedom, tactical proficiency, health and wellness, overcoming depression and PTSD, leadership and team dynamics, parenting, law enforcement and so much more.
