Building respect and resilience through oration is what our guest today is all about. Ricky Higby spent 26 years in the Air Force, and today his goal is to obliterate behaviors such as suicide, bullying, domestic violence, sexual assault, sexual harassment, self-harm, inequality, & discrimination while enabling individuals to be their best self, to #BeAsBuilt.
In today’s episode Ricky talks about the privilege of selfless service in the military, the opportunities of traveling the world and having adventures such as hang gliding in the Swiss Alps, and the importance of being intentional in all that you do.

But through it all he found unwavering community in the military and is honored to have served.
