S.O.S. (Stories of Service) - Ordinary people who do extraordinary work
Healing Eyes and Minds - Dr. Andrew Doan | S.O.S. #190
There’s nothing better than connecting with fellow active duty content creators—especially when they’re active duty senior naval officers! When Andrew first reached out months ago asking how to “do both”—serve our country and show up authentically on social media—I knew he was onto something powerful.
Since then, it’s been amazing to watch his YouTube channel take off, tackling topics like screen addiction, mental health, and so much more with insight and heart. His voice is one the world needs right now.
I’m beyond excited for his episode to drop—join us LIVE this Thursday at 7PM CST for a conversation you won’t want to miss!
In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Andrew Doan—renowned physician, scientist, and thought leader at the crossroads of medicine, neuroscience, and technology.
