5. USMC Veteran Barak Wood

Article: XV, hosted by Ryan Brazel, is attempting to bring both awareness and an end to 22 veterans committing suicide everyday. Ryan speaks to everyday veterans with everyday issues for veterans acclimating back into civilian life.

In this episode he talks with USMC Veteran Barak Wood. Barak discusses the triggers he's had since being a veteran, how he got his business started and the oddities of creating his shop in an abandoned insane asylum.
