From Combat To Conservation (Part 2) With Jimmy Armel

TW: This episode discusses addiction, PTSD, suicide, combat trauma, and psychedelic treatment.

Part two of Jimmy’s story goes even deeper as he opens up about relapse, recovery, suicidal ideation, and the moment that pushed him toward a completely different path. Jimmy shares how Not Lucky evolved from a charter business into a nonprofit dedicated to helping veterans and active duty service members find purpose, connection, and real support on the water.

Kail and Jimmy talk about addiction, Ibogaine, mental health care for veterans, the failures of the VA system, shark tagging, conservation, and why Not Lucky is about so much more than fishing. From near-death moments to building a mission that now helps other veterans, Jimmy’s story is raw, intense, and ultimately rooted in survival, faith, and purpose.
