Every #MemorialDay I try to highlight veterans on Unbreakable: A Mental WEALTH Podcast, and choose one or two of the millions whose stories I’d love to share with the world. This week I’m proud to chop it up with @JohnPrestonUSA@twitter.com. Amazing cat!
John Preston lives a life of service. A Marine Corps Combat Veteran, John is also a full time firefighter. But on top of that he’s also a successful recording artist with multiple songs in the Top 50 on I Tunes and DRT Top 20.
Since John emerged on the music scene in 2014, he has taken his place as a prominent figure in the veteran and first responder communities as an advocate against suicide while opening the conversation about mental health.
John is also the founder of 22 and You, a movement to save the lives of first responders and veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress (PTS). The movement began when John embarked on a 630-mile hike from Palo Alto to San Diego, which was inspired by the loss of John’s older brother Michael. After Michael’s passing in January of 2016, John put two singles about combatting suicide into the DRT Top 20 and iTunes Top 200, charting with some of the most popular Rock and Pop artists in the world.
