After leaving the Canadian Army, Mark E. Meincke authored “Why Not Me? – the keys to unlock your power, and release your potential,” winning first prize in an international literary competition for his contributions to human potential.

Years later, he was diagnosed with PTSD, and writing the book helped him cope, but he sought professional help when he was faced with severe symptoms. With a 10-month wait for therapy at Veterans Affairs, he joined Peer Support meetings and soon became a certified peer support facilitator.

Driven to help more, Mark launched Operation Tango Romeo, a trauma recovery podcast for Veterans, First Responders, and their families. Now reaching over 40 countries, the podcast has positively impacted tens of thousands of lives.
