In this episode of the No Labels, No Limits Podcast, Sarah Boxx talks with Thomas J. LaGrave Jr., bestselling author, licensed clinical social worker, and founder of Honor Bound Academy. His journey—from being discharged from SEAL Team ONE due to addiction to becoming a nationally respected mentor for adolescent men—is raw, powerful, and deeply inspiring.
Thomas shares:
- How losing everything at 29 led him to his life’s purpose
- Why working with youth became the key to his own healing
- What he’s learned after 35+ years and 3,000 young men served
- Insights from his upcoming book, Special Welfare. Social Warfare
- The myths, identity struggles, and developmental challenges teens face today
Listeners will hear a story of resilience, identity, and redemption—and learn how one man turned hardship into a lifetime of service.
Quote from Thomas:
"Attention is never sought, deeds never shared, and the most successful OP is the one that leaves no trace."
