A Boise coffee shop founded by a Marine veteran is turning espresso into a mission of healing for those battling PTSD.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What happens when the uniform comes off but the war inside doesn\u2019t end? For many veterans and first responders, the answer is isolation, suppressed trauma, and invisible wounds. PTSD affects an estimated 20% of post-9\/11 veterans<\/strong>, but few talk about it, and even fewer find a healthy outlet to heal. That\u2019s exactly why Zero Dark Thirty<\/a>, a bold new Boise coffee shop, isn\u2019t just brewing lattes\u2014it\u2019s brewing purpose<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this episode of Behind the Business<\/a><\/em>, we sit down with Jarad Webb<\/strong>, a Marine Corps veteran and former law enforcement officer who hit rock bottom battling undiagnosed PTSD. What started as denial, anger, and disconnection eventually transformed into a powerful mission: create a coffee shop that could serve not only great drinks but also as a sanctuary for those fighting battles no one sees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, can a coffee shop actually help save lives?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s the question we explore as Kelli Lumsden<\/strong> dives deep into the heart, healing, and hustle behind Zero Dark Thirty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
