Podcast Description Today on Success After Service, we explore a remarkable journey that starts on a Georgia baseball diamond, runs through three combat tours in the Middle East, and circles back to a major league field. Retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel David Leverett shares his path from playing professional independent league baseball to serving 21 years in the military as a Ranger-qualified officer.

David reflects on applying the teamwork learned in baseball to leading soldiers in combat, the thrill of being selected for the 2024 Atlanta Braves Fantasy Camp, and sharing the field with Braves legends like Steve Avery and Dale Murphy. David is also joined by his wife, retired Army LTC Kristen Leverett, for a candid conversation about the realities of transitioning to civilian life, raising a family after retirement, and why asking for mental health support is an act of courage, not selfishness.
