In this powerful and deeply personal episode, we sit down with Adam DeRito, a man whose unwavering determination to serve his country was met with unimaginable resistance. From his early dreams of joining the U.S. Air Force to the harrowing experience that changed the course of his life. Adam opens up about the trauma, the silence, and the institutional backlash he faced after coming forward. Blacklisted from the military and branded as a troublemaker, Adam could have walked away. But instead, he chose to fight—not just for himself, but for justice, truth, and change. His story is one of courage, resilience, and the enduring hope that the system can be held accountable. Join us as we explore the trials, the tribulations, and the unshakable spirit of a man who refused to give up on his mission, even when the system turned its back on him.
