Beto Military Veterans Peer Support Group's monthly meeting featured the documentary "HELL OR HIGH SEAS." It follows Taylor and Stephen as they bravely navigate the challenging waters around Cape Horn. It's not just an adventure film; it beautifully portrays Taylor's personal battle with PTSD and his journey toward healing—a message that resonates deeply for many veterans returning to civilian life.

Guests were:
- **Taylor Greiger**: The inspiring veteran who’s the focus of the film "HELL OR HIGH SEAS."
- **Stephen O’Shea**: Taylor's best friend and fellow adventurer, who sailed with him as the crew on their incredible journey.
- **Ryan Goodwyn**: The swim coach for both Taylor and Stephen during their high school days; he also stars in the movie!
- **Robert Irvine**: The executive producer of the documentary.
