In this powerful reflection from Combat Story, Matt Cavanaugh explains how writing, racing, combat, and sacrifice all taught him the same lesson: mission means being willing to give everything for one thing—and choosing what’s right even when it costs you.
Though the uniform is long gone, the ethic remains. From military service to donating a kidney to a stranger, this is a story about identity, purpose, and why service doesn’t end when the war does.
This episode explores leadership, sacrifice, and what it means to keep serving long after the finish line.
