E106: TEAM SAVAGE WITH GEOFF SPEYRER, KAT CARRIER, NOEL AND JOSH VOIGT (P.1)

buckleUp! Podcast with Natalia Earle

Today I set down with team Savage. Geoff Speyrer, Kat Carrier, Noel and Josh Voigt.

Geoff served 12 years in the Army as a combat engineer and Infantryman. Upon returning home he had a tough time adapting to civilian life and he turned to addiction. Geoff was also given medication from the Army that adversely affected his health. He developed compartment syndrome and had to have a muscle amputated out of his leg leaving him with paralysis in his left foot.
Geoff didn’t realize or understand what PTSD and TBI was until he was so deep into addiction and selling drugs that he didn’t even know how to ask for help nor did he really want it. For the next 13 years Geoff would suffer with addiction, battling suicide and being a fugitive for five and a half years. Then one day he decided to quit playing the blame game and take back his life. He started investing hard into his body and fitness and started to share his story that impacted many lives. Through his new found purpose he educates, inspires, entertains and builds communities that show up in realist and rawest ways.
