What does it really mean to leave a legacy?
Is legacy what people remember about you after you are gone—or is it what you build now that other people can carry forward?
In this episode of Your Thoughts, Your Reality, Michael Cole sits down with internationally recognized jazz pianist, vocalist, composer, and Jazz for Peace founder Rick DellaRatta for a conversation about legacy, purpose, service, music, peace, and turning adversity into meaningful action.
Together, Mike and Rick explore Legacy — The 10th Silent War and an important question for veterans, leaders, high performers, and anyone entering a new chapter:
How do I take what I know, what I care about, and what I have lived through—and turn it into something that continues serving beyond me?
Rick’s story changed dramatically on September 11, 2001.
From a rooftop less than a quarter mile from the World Trade Center, Rick witnessed the events of 9/11 unfolding. Without a piano in front of him, words began moving through his mind. He started writing them down.
Those words became a poem called “Jazz for Peace.”
Rick then faced a choice.
Would the poem simply remain words on a page—or would he try to live what he had written?
He chose to act.
That decision eventually grew into Jazz for Peace, a global initiative using music to support peace, education, fundraising, grassroots organizations, and causes around the world. The organization has now supported hundreds of benefit events while creating opportunities for other people to participate in something larger than themselves.
That is where this conversation becomes bigger than music.
Rick’s message is that legacy requires participation.
It is easy to care about a cause.
It is easy to admire someone doing meaningful work.
It is easy to say that something should change.
But eventually, the question becomes:
What am I willing to do?
This conversation connects directly to several of The 10 Silent Wars:
Legacy — The 10th Silent War: “What am I creating that someone else can carry forward?”
Mission — The 2nd Silent War: “What am I willing to contribute my time, talent, or experience toward?”
Connection — The 3rd Silent War: “How can what I do bring people together rather than push them further apart?”
Direction — The 8th Silent War: “What is one meaningful action I can take next?”
Identity — The 1st Silent War: “Am I living according to what matters to me—or only thinking about it?”
Rick also shares his belief that music is far more than entertainment.
Across languages, cultures, religions, and backgrounds, music can create connection where words sometimes cannot. He describes it as a vehicle for creativity, healing, education, human consciousness, and ultimately peace.
Mike and Rick discuss something equally important for anyone wondering whether they are capable of creating meaningful impact:
You do not need to start a global movement.
Contribution can begin much closer to home.
Help a legitimate cause in your community.
Support someone doing work you believe in.
Use a skill you already possess.
Do something kind for another person.
Take the first action.
Rick describes this as creating “wealth inside.”
We spend enormous energy pursuing financial wealth, status, accomplishments, and external success. But Rick challenges listeners to consider another form of wealth:
What are you doing that makes your soul richer?
That question sits at the heart of this episode.
Because legacy is not only about what you leave.
It is about what your actions make possible while you are still here.
Rick also shares practical ways people can participate through Jazz for Peace—including simple actions designed to help individuals and organizations support worthwhile causes without requiring enormous amounts of money, influence, or time.
And to close the conversation, Rick gives listeners something special: a live musical performance and his Jazz for Peace poem—the words that helped begin a mission he has now carried for 25 years.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
How witnessing 9/11 led Rick DellaRatta to write Jazz for Peace
Why he chose to turn a poem into a 25-year mission
What legacy means when other people can participate and carry the work forward
Why music can connect people across cultural, religious, and language barriers
The difference between caring about a cause and actually participating
Why meaningful contribution does not require creating a global organization
How adversity can become the beginning of something constructive
Why service and contribution can create a different kind of personal wealth
How ordinary people can begin supporting causes they genuinely believe in
Why the first small action may matter more than having the entire plan
Before moving on, ask yourself:
What do I already have—an experience, skill, talent, relationship, or cause—that I could use in service of something bigger than myself?
You do not need to know where it will lead.
You only need enough willingness to begin.

What happens when survival mode keeps running even after the immediate danger has passed?
When fear, trauma, war, or major adversity takes over, emotional armor can make sense.
We compartmentalize.
We stay useful.
We keep moving.
But eventually the crisis changes—and the armor does not always get the message.
In this episode of Your Thoughts, Your Reality, Michael Cole sits down with Eugene Yeskov, a transformational coach from Ukraine whose perspective on resilience, purpose, fear, and personal growth has been shaped by experiencing the impact of war firsthand.
Eugene now lives in Greece and helps people who feel lost, stuck, or disconnected from themselves reconnect with their values, inner strength, purpose, and direction.
Together, Mike and Eugene explore Emotional Armor — The 7th Silent War and an important question:
How do you move forward without allowing what you survived to decide who you have to become next?
Eugene describes what happened when war began in Ukraine.
For days, his world narrowed to survival.
Sleep changed. His attention became intensely focused on danger, safety, and getting through what was directly in front of him. The bigger questions about purpose, fulfillment, and the future temporarily disappeared.
He also shares the story of a friend in Mariupol who, under extraordinary circumstances, became almost unrecognizable compared with his normal personality—taking charge and helping more than 100 people escape danger.
It illustrates one of the central ideas in this conversation:
Survival can activate parts of us we never knew were there.
But what protects us during crisis may not be what we need once the crisis has changed.
This conversation directly connects to several of The 10 Silent Wars:
Emotional Armor — The 7th Silent War: “What did I build to survive that I may still be carrying?”
Identity — The 1st Silent War: “Who am I beyond what happened to me?”
Mission — The 2nd Silent War: “What gives my life meaning when survival is no longer the only goal?”
Fear — The 9th Silent War: “Am I building my life around what I’m afraid of—or what I actually want?”
Direction — The 8th Silent War: “What is pulling me forward now?”
Eugene’s own search for purpose began before the war.
He built a successful career in technology and economic cybernetics. By conventional standards, he had accomplished many of the things that were supposed to create fulfillment.
He had the career.
He had the apartment.
He had the car.
And he still felt empty.
That realization led him to begin asking different questions:
Why am I here?
What actually fulfills me?
What would make my life meaningful?
Eventually, Eugene discovered coaching and what he describes as his mission: helping other people uncover their own sense of purpose.
Mike and Eugene discuss why purpose can become especially important after adversity. When life has been organized around surviving the next day, moving forward may first require reconnecting with gratitude, relationships, values, and the things that make life worth living.
Eugene explains that when he works with someone who is deeply stuck, he does not immediately begin by asking them to discover their life mission.
He starts smaller.
What went well?
What are you proud of?
Who do you love?
Who loves you?
From there, people can begin reconnecting with what matters before trying to answer the larger question of what comes next.
They also explore Eugene’s approach to uncovering the deeper “why” behind a goal.
The first answer is rarely the whole answer.
Why do you want success?
Why do you want money?
Why do you want recognition?
Why does that matter?
By continuing to ask why, Eugene believes people can move beyond the surface-level answer and discover the values and emotional needs underneath it.
The conversation then returns to emotional armor.
Eugene suggests beginning with a deceptively simple question:
“Does this behavior actually feel like me?”
If anger, withdrawal, defensiveness, control, revenge, or disconnection does not feel aligned with who you want to be, the next questions become:
When did I start doing this?
What was I protecting?
And do I still need that protection in the same way today?
Mike and Eugene also discuss how to find meaning after painful experiences without pretending the pain was necessary or minimizing what happened.
The goal is not to romanticize trauma.
It is to recognize that the past has already happened—and ask whether there is wisdom, strength, awareness, or direction you can carry forward from it.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
What survival mode can do to your priorities and sense of purpose
Why emotional armor can protect you during crisis but create disconnection later
How Eugene experienced the beginning of the war in Ukraine
What extreme adversity can reveal about human resilience and resourcefulness
Why purpose often disappears when survival becomes the immediate priority
How gratitude, love, and values can help someone begin reconnecting with themselves
Why asking “why” multiple times can uncover what you actually want
How to recognize behaviors that may have developed as emotional protection
Why focusing entirely on what you fear can keep your attention anchored to fear
How to begin separating what happened to you from who you choose to become next
If this conversation resonated with you, don’t immediately move on.
Ask yourself:
What protected me during survival—but may be keeping me from fully living now?
You do not have to tear the armor off all at once.
Start by noticing it.
Then ask what you actually want your life to move toward.

What happens when you survive the trauma—but lose your sense of where life is going?
Trauma does not only change how you remember the past.
It can change how safe the present feels, how much you trust yourself, and whether the future still feels possible.
In this episode of Your Thoughts, Your Reality, Michael Cole sits down with Faust Ruggiero, a therapist whose career spans more than four decades, including approximately 35 years working with veterans and first responders.
Faust is the creator of the Process Way of Life, the author behind the Fix Yourself Empowerment Series, and the author of The Fix Your PTSD Handbook, a practical guide designed to help people better understand trauma, PTSD, and the steps involved in moving toward recovery.
Together, Mike and Faust explore Direction — The 8th Silent War and why finding direction after trauma often requires more than simply setting another goal.
Sometimes you first have to understand what is happening inside you.
Faust shares how his work with veterans began early in his career when a Vietnam veteran and former prisoner of war came to him carrying severe trauma and suicidal thoughts.
That experience taught him something that would shape the next several decades of his work:
Before you can help someone move forward, you have to earn enough trust for them to believe they are no longer carrying everything alone.
Faust explains why trauma can become “stuck,” how painful experiences can replay internally, and why PTSD may begin affecting far more than memories—relationships, employment, anger, isolation, substance use, self-perception, and the ability to imagine a meaningful future.
The conversation also addresses one of the most difficult parts of military transition:
The person who returns home is not simply the person who left.
Military training intentionally builds a soldier capable of functioning under circumstances most civilians will never experience. But when service ends, the behaviors, vigilance, identity, and survival responses developed in that environment do not disappear with the discharge paperwork.
Faust argues that reintegration needs to be treated as a genuine process—not an expectation that someone should simply “go back to normal.”
This conversation directly connects to several of The 10 Silent Wars:
Direction — The 8th Silent War: “How do I create a future when trauma keeps pulling me backward?”
Identity — The 1st Silent War: “Who am I when being a soldier is no longer my daily role?”
Trust — The 5th Silent War: “Can I believe someone will actually stay with me through this?”
Emotional Armor — The 7th Silent War: “What did I learn to suppress in order to survive?”
Connection — The 3rd Silent War: “How do I reconnect when I feel like nobody truly understands me?”
Faust also explains the approach behind The Fix Your PTSD Handbook.
Rather than offering one template for everyone, he emphasizes individualized, step-by-step progress.
Build trust first.
Understand the trauma.
Look at how it is affecting the rest of life.
Then create practical actions small enough to actually take.
Mike and Faust also discuss the power of internal language.
Trauma can create painful beliefs such as:
“I’m a bad person.”
“I don’t deserve forgiveness.”
“If people knew what I had done or seen, they would look at me differently.”
Faust explains that healing is not simply replacing a negative statement with forced positivity. His approach is to begin separating emotional conclusions from facts—understanding how someone arrived at those beliefs and changing the internal dialogue from there.
That becomes especially important when discussing the movement from victimization toward empowerment.
The message is not that someone caused or chose their trauma.
It is that what happened does not have to be given permanent authority over what happens next.
You cannot rewrite what occurred.
But with the right support, understanding, and action, you can begin reclaiming authorship of tomorrow.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why trauma can affect your ability to imagine a future
How trust becomes foundational when helping veterans process trauma
Why PTSD can show up through relationships, anger, isolation, substance use, and hypervigilance
The difference between surviving an experience and actually processing it
Why military identity does not simply disappear after discharge
Why Faust believes reintegration should include individualized psychological support
How the Process Way of Life approaches change through incremental action
Why there is no single treatment roadmap that fits every veteran or trauma survivor
How internal language can reinforce shame and self-punishment
Why replacing emotional conclusions with facts can help change the conversation inside
How someone can begin moving from surviving the past toward creating direction for the future
If something in this conversation felt familiar, don’t immediately move on.
Ask yourself:
Is something from my past still deciding what I believe is possible for my future?
You do not have to solve everything today.
Take one action.
Have one conversation.
Ask one question.
Take one step forward.

What if fear isn’t actually the thing keeping you stuck?
Sometimes fear looks responsible.
We research a little more.
We wait for better timing.
We tell ourselves we need more clarity.
We keep preparing.
But eventually, preparation can stop helping us move forward and start protecting us from having to act.
In this episode of Your Thoughts, Your Reality, Michael Cole sits down with Clifford Sosamon, a Marine Corps veteran, entrepreneur, writer, leadership speaker, creator of the Action Under Friction Method, and host of the Tailgate Chat podcast.
Cliff served six years on active duty in the Marine Corps, including deployment to Haiti and Marine Security Guard assignments in Bangkok and Rio de Janeiro. After leaving the military, his path moved through business, nonprofit leadership, operations, veteran advocacy, entrepreneurship, and his own difficult transitions.
Together, Mike and Cliff explore Fear — The 9th Silent War and a question many veterans and high performers need to ask themselves:
Am I really waiting because I’m not ready—or am I waiting because taking action would force me to face uncertainty?
Cliff talks openly about what happened when he took off the uniform.
For a Marine, service is more than a job. The identity, community, mission, structure, and camaraderie become deeply ingrained. Cliff describes leaving active duty as almost hanging his identity in the closet along with the uniform.
He eventually found purpose again through veteran service organizations and helping other veterans. But when that role later ended, he found himself back in what he describes as a dark valley.
That experience taught him an important lesson:
When your identity becomes completely attached to a role, transition becomes much harder when the role disappears.
But this conversation goes even deeper into the ways fear prevents us from building what comes next.
Cliff calls one of those patterns productive hesitation.
You may look extremely busy. You may be researching, planning, learning, organizing, tweaking, or preparing.
But nothing is actually moving.
Cliff shares how this showed up when launching businesses, beginning his podcast, and writing his book. At one point, only about ten pages into writing, he spent an entire day researching literary agents.
It felt productive.
But it wasn’t moving the book forward.
He experienced the same pattern while launching a staffing company with his wife. Instead of filing the LLC, finding an office, or getting clients, he spent days developing the perfect acronym for the company name.
The work itself wasn’t useless.
The timing was.
That is where productive preparation can quietly become avoidance.
This conversation directly connects to several of The 10 Silent Wars:
Fear — The 9th Silent War: “What am I avoiding because I’m afraid of failure, rejection, success, or uncertainty?”
Identity — The 1st Silent War: “Who am I when the role I built myself around changes?”
Mission — The 2nd Silent War: “What am I moving toward now?”
Control — The 4th Silent War: “Am I trying to eliminate every unknown before I allow myself to act?”
Direction — The 8th Silent War: “Do I need the entire roadmap—or just enough direction to take the next step?”
Cliff breaks down his Action Under Friction Method into a practical process.
First, acknowledge what is happening.
Say it.
“I’m hesitating.”
“I’m afraid this will fail.”
“I’m afraid people will reject me.”
“I’m afraid this might actually succeed and I won’t know how to handle what comes next.”
Then understand where the friction is coming from.
Finally, move forward.
Not by solving the entire problem.
By taking one step.
That first imperfect action creates information, confidence, and clarity that another week of thinking may never provide.
Mike and Cliff also discuss why capable people can know exactly what they need to do and still freeze under pressure. The brain can create entire future scenarios around rejection, conflict, embarrassment, and failure—many of which never actually happen.
Sometimes the most useful question is simply:
Is what I’m telling myself actually true?
And Cliff gives listeners a practical challenge they can use immediately.
Write down the thing you have been avoiding.
Then answer:
What is the benefit of moving it forward?
What is the cost of not moving forward?
What action will I take?
When will I complete it?
How will I hold myself accountable?
You do not need to become fearless first.
You need to learn how to move while the friction is still there.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why fear can disguise itself as preparation and productivity
What Cliff means by productive hesitation
How military transition can disrupt identity, mission, and belonging
Why fear of failure, rejection, and even success can stop capable people
How Cliff’s Action Under Friction Method helps identify what is really creating resistance
Why waiting for complete clarity can keep you stuck
How taking action can actually create the clarity you were waiting for
Why imperfect execution often teaches more than endless preparation
How to recognize when you are researching instead of progressing
A simple exercise you can use today to turn hesitation into action
Before moving on, ask yourself:
Am I waiting—or am I acting?
And if you already know what the next step is, you probably don’t need another week to think about it.
Take the step.

What happens when you spent decades being the person who had to be ready for what could go wrong—and suddenly, nobody needs you to carry that responsibility anymore?
The radio gets quieter.
The routine changes.
The emergencies belong to someone else.
But your brain may not immediately understand that the mission has changed.
In this episode of Your Thoughts, Your Reality, Michael Cole sits down with Judy Crockett, who spent 33 years with Utah State University Public Safety and served as the university’s emergency manager. Her career included emergency preparedness, campus alert systems, critical-incident planning, and helping people prepare for the moments nobody ever wants to happen.
Today, Judy is a Certified Brain Health Trainer and Neuroencoding Specialist, founder of the Thrive Tribe, and is building a new mission focused on helping first responders protect their brain health and prepare for life beyond the role.
Together, Mike and Judy explore Identity — The 1st Silent War and a transition many veterans, first responders, and public-safety professionals understand:
Who are you when people no longer need you in the same way they once did?
For years, Judy would walk into work thinking about the worst-case scenario.
Could today be the day of an active shooter?
Were the alert systems working?
Was everyone prepared?
Even the sound of opening her morning Diet Coke became connected to the beginning of that state of readiness.
Then she retired.
The responsibility stopped almost overnight—but the conditioning did not.
Judy describes retirement as a genuine grieving process. She loved public safety, the camaraderie, the mission, and knowing that what she did mattered. When it disappeared, she had to learn something that became central to her transition:
Being needed and being valued are not the same thing.
Leaving the role did not diminish her value.
But emotionally understanding that took time.
This conversation connects directly to several of The 10 Silent Wars:
Identity — The 1st Silent War: “Who am I when the role that defined so much of my life is gone?”
Mission — The 2nd Silent War: “What gives me something meaningful to move toward now?”
Connection — The 3rd Silent War: “Who are my people when the professional relationships and camaraderie change?”
Control — The 4th Silent War: “Can I recognize a potential threat without feeling responsible for controlling it?”
Direction — The 8th Silent War: “How do I intentionally prepare for the next chapter before the old one ends?”
One of Judy’s biggest messages is simple:
Do not wait until retirement to start thinking about what comes next.
Have something that pulls you forward.
It does not have to be another career. It could be volunteering, learning something new, physical activity, a hobby, time with family, or discovering a new way to use the strengths you spent decades building.
Judy also talks about the hidden cost of constant preparedness.
She shares a moment at the Pro Bowl when, instead of enjoying some of the best football players in the world, she found herself focused on a fight developing in the crowd.
Her public-safety brain was still working.
The skill was not necessarily the problem.
The challenge was learning when it was appropriate to use it—and when it was safe to come back to the present.
Mike and Judy discuss practical ways to interrupt those automatic patterns, including recognizing automatic negative thoughts, asking whether a thought is actually true, changing physical state, movement, breathing, smiling, getting outside, and intentionally redirecting attention.
Judy’s approach is not about erasing the awareness that made someone effective in public safety.
It is about learning that awareness does not always have to become alarm.
And when the professional touchpoints disappear, connection becomes even more important.
That is part of why Judy created the Thrive Tribe—a place centered around connection, growth, self-care, and having people who support one another through life’s transitions.
Because rebuilding identity is not always about finding another title.
Sometimes it is about finding your people again.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why retirement from public safety can feel like grieving a loss
How being needed can quietly become tied to identity
Why your value does not disappear when your professional role ends
How decades of preparedness can follow you into retirement
The difference between useful awareness and constantly anticipating danger
Why preparing for transition should begin before your final day on the job
How learning, movement, sleep, nutrition, and connection can support your next chapter
How Judy challenges automatic negative thoughts
Why maintaining relationships matters when professional touchpoints disappear
How the strengths built in one mission can become part of an entirely new one
If something in this conversation resonated with you, take a minute before moving on.
Ask yourself:
If the alerts stopped tomorrow, what part of me would still know who I am?
And if you are approaching retirement or another major transition, ask one more:
What am I building now that will give me something meaningful to move toward then?
