Episode 0089 Goodyear Leadership

In this episode the Old Rucker reconnects with retired Sergeant Major Dan Goodyear, a longtime mentor whose example of leadership, integrity, patriotism, and service helped shape Bob’s life. Dan shares stories from his military career, his experiences as a Marine and Army National Guard leader, and his ongoing mission work in Africa, where he helps provide biblical education and support to local communities. They explore leading by example, the value of mentorship, overcoming personal struggles, finding purpose, and building relationships that help people move forward in recovery and in life. Through honest reflections on faith, teamwork, accountability, and supporting one another through difficult times, Dan offers a practical message of hope nobody succeeds alone, and each of us has the opportunity to make a difference by lifting others up and paying it forward.

Episode 0082 Pat Experience Strength and Hope

Pat sits down with the Old Rucker, Jeremy, Tony, Ralph and RedBeard to share his raw and uncensored recovery journey, tracing his path from a rebellious childhood and heavy drinking through the Marine Corps, combat in Iraq, multiple DWIs, career setbacks, broken relationships, isolation, and eventually the realization that his life had become unmanageable. Pat talks openly about using alcohol to stay numb, the consequences that accumulated without immediately stopping his drinking, and the turning point that led him into treatment and the recovery program. He also discusses the people who helped him along the way, the importance of sponsorship, service, faith, accountability, and simply continuing to take the next right step. The conversation ultimately becomes a story of transformation, showing how sobriety, community, and giving back have allowed Pat to rebuild his life, find purpose, and recognize that the future can become better than he ever imagined.
