From Combat to Calling: Kristofer Goldsmith on Turning Trauma Into Purpose

This week Eli we discuss men's mental health and so much more with Kristofer Goldsmith who is a combat veteran, investigative researcher, and nationally recognized expert on disinformation and domestic extremism. He is the founder of Task Force Butler Institute and the On Offense media project, and a co-host of the Find Out Podcast—platforms that use investigative journalism and viral content to expose authoritarian threats and mobilize grassroots action. Goldsmith leverages his voice to normalize progressive values and empower communities targeted by far-right movements. We talk fatherhood, mentorship and how to the hard moments shape your life for the better.
