Jarred White, Marine Combat Veteran and Founder of FW22, is back on the show and he's talking in circles.

- Jarred talks about being shaped like a circle and making positive life changes

- He talks about the importance of the people you surround yourself with and keep in your circle

- He shares how these relationships have come full-circle with Nate's involvement in FW22 and the partnerships between Bare Knuckle, FW22 and Allendale Treatment.

- And Jarred talks about why we can't just circle November 11 on the calendar to celebrate and support our Veterans. It's estimated that 22 Veterans take their own lives every day due to unresolved mental health ailments.

Jarred's non-profit organization, FW22, is organized to facilitate community involvement in the support and assistance of Veterans suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) while simultaneously educating on suicide prevention and mental illness.
