Show Notes

In Episode 89 of GrabLives, we sit down with Chance Burles, co-host of The Collective Podcast and a retired Canadian veteran, to unpack the silent battles that follow service. This conversation goes beyond surface-level resilience and dives straight into the psychological and emotional terrain that many operators, first responders, and high performers quietly navigate. Chance shares his journey through depression, identity loss, and the recalibration process that comes after stepping away from a life built on structure, intensity, and purpose. We explore how podcasting became more than just a platform for him—it became a tool for reflection, growth, and rebuilding. At the core of The Collective is a mission rooted in action: consistent, intentional effort toward developing a growth mindset. But what does that actually look like when you’re in the trenches of your own mind?
