🎙 “I was sitting there with a loaded .45… and I thought my dog deserved better.”
In this emotional episode of The Good Hustle, John Henry sits down with Kris Quintana, a U.S. Coast Guard veteran, mental health advocate, and school board leader, as he publicly shares his powerful story for the very first time.
From early childhood trauma to a breakdown in a boarded-up house with no heat or water… to losing control, finding therapy, and building a new life with purpose, Kris walks us through the moments that nearly ended everything, and the community, courage, and canine companion that pulled him back.
Now? He’s a husband, homeowner, and healing.. helping others as a leader in education, real estate, and local government.
