Episode 54: Different Uniform, Same Battles – Round 2 with Dane Carter

In Episode 54 of 45 on the Hour, Dane Carter returns for Round 2, and this time, the conversation goes even deeper. Colt Curtis, Eric and Dane explore the striking similarities between military personnel and ex-cons—two worlds that may look different on the outside but share the same internal wars.

From structure and survival to identity and reintegration, they discuss how both groups face mental conditioning, institutional challenges, and the fight to reclaim their purpose after service or incarceration. It’s a powerful breakdown of what Dane calls the militant mindset—the discipline, toughness, and resilience needed to thrive after trauma.

This episode is raw, real, and eye-opening. Whether you’re a veteran, formerly incarcerated, or someone trying to rebuild and rewire your life, this one hits deep.
