Breaking The Cycle with JR Martinez
Manage episode 437895122 series 3518773
In this deeply moving episode of the Kintsugi Podcast, I sit down with J.R. Martinez, a man whose story is etched in resilience and gratitude. If you don’t know who J.R. is, he’s an actor, speaker, author, and Army veteran.
As J.R. takes us back to the day his life changed forever, when his Humvee hit a roadside bomb in Iraq, he shares not just the physical scars but the emotional ones, too. These scars tell tales of pain, survival, and transformation. What struck me most was J.R.'s ability to find beauty and purpose even in his darkest moments. His journey is a testament to the human spirit's capacity to turn tragedy into a blessing.
Key moments of this interview:
3:30 How scars tell powerful stories
6:45 The importance of reconnecting with purpose
18:00 JR’s early childhood and challenges
