Marine Corps veteran and speaker Max Dutton was minutes away from ending his life.
Gun in hand. Empty. Done.
But one quiet whisper—“Give it one more day”—changed everything.

In this raw, unfiltered conversation, Max opens up about the moment he almost pulled the trigger, the spiritual awakening that rebuilt his identity, and the personal battles that shaped him into the man he is today.

We talk about:
— Suicide, silence, and the lies men tell themselves
— Alcohol, destruction, and the identity collapse
— The call from God that changed everything
— Building purpose after rock bottom
— Coaching, speaking, and the mission to serve
— Marriage, redemption, and learning to lead your life again

If you’ve been in the dark, stuck, lost, or questioning why you’re still here…
This episode is for you.
