Marine Corps Veteran Turned Cowboy Michael Parker

Michael Parker is a Marine Corps veteran, turned cowboy, entrepreneur, and mental health advocate. After leaving the Marines, Michael struggled with his mental health, leading to incarceration and multiple suicide attempts. Driven by a desire to understand his mental health and take back the reins in his life, he started searching for alternative ways to heal, besides medication. He discovered his healing through nature and horses. The same selflessness that led him to enlist fueled him to help others gain a "second chance" in their lives. In 2019, Michael set out on his journey to bring his dream to life, creating Second Chance Rehabilitation Ranch. Michael is also the host of Second Chance Podcast where he interviews veterans, first responders, and mental health advocates, sharing their stories to help listeners find hope and a fulfilled life on the other side of mistakes and trauma.
