🎙️ Season 5, Episode 1 – "Empowerment, Ownership, and the Warrior Ethos"

Welcome to Season 5 of the Warriors’ Ascent Podcast. In this opening episode, hosts Matt Hastings and Mike Kenny dive deep into the foundational elements of healing and thriving: empowerment, ownership, and intentional self-care.

Recorded from the new headquarters with the support of KC Podcast Studios, this conversation sets the tone for the season by exploring what makes a strong network of support—in organizations, in healing journeys, and in life. From building relationships rooted in ideological alignment to embracing the hard truth that healing requires personal accountability, Mike and Matt unpack the values that define Warriors’ Ascent and the Warrior Ethos.

You’ll hear stories from combat and command, powerful reflections on trauma, and insights into what it means to truly lead with purpose—especially when life gets hard.

If you’re navigating the challenges of trauma recovery or looking for tools to reconnect with your inner warrior, this episode is your call to action. It’s not just about surviving—it’s about owning your journey and choosing to thrive.
