In this deeply emotional and impactful episode of Growth Over Goals, host Jordan Montgomery sits down with Joe Skelley, father of Owen Skelley, to share the powerful and heartbreaking story of Owen’s life and legacy. Owen was a beloved son, a standout athlete, a kind friend, and a beacon of positivity—yet silently struggled with anxiety and depression.

Joe courageously recounts the day Owen took his own life and reflects on the pain, grief, and growth that followed. This candid conversation covers the importance of recognizing unseen mental health battles, the danger of masking internal struggles, and the vital need for proactive, honest conversations—especially among youth and parents.As part of honoring Owen's memory, Joe and his family founded the OS14 Foundation, which provides resources for mental health awareness, financial support for counseling, and community outreach through scholarships, youth programs, and school-based initiatives.

The message is clear: Be Positive. Be Proactive. Be Productive. And most importantly—speak up, seek help, and know that you’re never alone.
