This week on The Battle Harder Podcast, we go deep with Cole Grace, a combat veteran who faced down IEDs in Iraq, then fought a more dangerous war within himself.

Cole opens up about the invisible wounds left by childhood trauma, war, addiction, and suicidal ideation. But this isn’t a story of staying broken—it’s one of rebuilding from the inside out.

You’ll hear how a 6-figure career and tropical relocation couldn’t mask the pain, and how Cole finally found peace—not in escaping life, but in doing the hard internal work. From rehab to redemption, he now empowers others through his book Internal and External and a message rooted in humility, purpose, and healing.

If you're battling your own inner war, this conversation is your call to arms.
