Allen Levi Simmons Beyond Combat: His Untold Marine Chronicles | The Shadows Podcast

This week on the Shadows Podcast, we are privileged to host Allen Levi Simmons, a distinguished United States Marine Corps veteran, acclaimed author of “Can I Speak?”, and the dynamic host behind the Purpose Pod.

In this compelling episode, Allen shares the intimate details of his upbringing, delving into a profound void stemming from his relationship with his mother. Vulnerably, he reflects on a traumatic childhood event and the pivotal decision that led him to enlist in the United States Marine Corps at a tender age. Join us as Allen recounts the gripping moments before and after an RPG blast in Afghanistan that left him grappling with a traumatic brain injury, offering a raw and unfiltered glimpse into the challenges he faced during and after his military service.
