A Legacy of Excellence - A Conversation With Poppa Snoop!
Sun Feb 01 2026
In this episode, Josh sits down with Poppa Snoop, an Army veteran who was drafted into the Vietnam War and went on to earn three Purple Hearts for wounds sustained in combat. He reflects on life before the draft, what it was like being sent to war at a young age, and how those experiences changed him in ways that never fully faded.
Poppa Snoop speaks candidly about his time in the Army and the lasting impact of combat trauma. He also opens up about living with PTSD, what coping has looked like over the years, and the personal work it’s taken to keep moving forward.
The conversation also touches briefly on family — including his relationship with his son, Snoop Dogg — and how fatherhood, resilience, and perspective have evolved across generations.
It’s an honest, reflective episode centered on survival, legacy, and the long road of healing after war.
