Kyle Carpenter on Courage, Survival, and What Comes After

The Daily Stoic

About this episode

The Medal of Honor is the highest military award in the United States, given for extraordinary courage in the face of danger. In this episode, Ryan sits down with Kyle Carpenter, the youngest living recipient, to talk about what that kind of courage really looks like and what comes after it.

Kyle received the Medal of Honor after throwing himself on a live grenade to save a fellow Marine in Afghanistan. It was a split second decision that changed his life. But as he explains, that moment was only the beginning.


Kyle Carpenter is a medically retired United States Marine who received the United States' highest military honor, the Medal of Honor in 2010.
