Berry speaks with CSM TJ Baird, U.S. Army (Ret.), about leadership, accountability, and the transition from service member to author.\nAfter decades of leadership at the highest enlisted level, TJ shares how writing became a way to process experiences, capture lessons learned, and pass those insights on to the next generation. His book, Warrior Dad, reflects on leadership, fatherhood, and the responsibility of carrying those lessons forward beyond the uniform.\nThe conversation explores standards, discipline, and responsibility, while also diving into the writing process, storytelling, and how Veterans can turn their experiences into something meaningful beyond service.\nThis episode is a reminder that leadership doesn’t end at retirement — it evolves into mentorship, storytelling, and legacy.\nLearn more at ptsdlawyers.com","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/0QmLFmnePSnOIzptu2y4_LtLycAUv0tdhI2c0QIfSus/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzQ0NzUzLzE2OTYw/MDU1NzYtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
