Divorce broke the life he thought was secure. In Episode 924 of Savage Perspective Podcast, Robert Sikes talks with David Gerber about a marriage he never wanted to lose and the long road back. David shares how therapy helped him through his darkest days and why tracking lions on foot in South Africa made him feel alive again. He recalls charging lions, calm guides, and long walks with no phone to hide behind. They explore why driven men can feel lost, what real vulnerability looks like, and how time in the wild changes the way people face fear. David also shares the story behind The Lion Is You and his hopes for marriage and family after starting over.
