Colonel Tray Ardese flew over 250 combat missions in an F/A-18 fighter jet, earned the Bronze Star and Purple Heart, and led direct action operations with U.S. Special Forces. But today, he’s on a new mission—helping men live with clarity, faith, and purpose.
‍
In this powerful episode, Tray opens up about what it really feels like to step out of the military, lose your identity, wrestle with grief, purpose, and his role as a coach. We talk about his Native American roots, what his faith in Jesus means to him, and why leadership isn’t about titles—it’s about service.
‍
Tray is joining Furiously Curious Coaching as a coach to help men navigate their toughest transitions—from fatherhood to business to faith—and lead lives that truly matter.
‍
This isn’t just another military story. It’s a conversation about redemption, resilience, and the power of showing up when it counts.
‍
I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.
