Today, we're diving deep. I share advice inspired by a conversation about hope, discuss the impact of having an addict in the family, and relive my journey from an uncertain high school graduate to a 14-year veteran of the United States Marine Corps.

We'll explore how sometimes, the best advice comes from unexpected places, the importance of not giving up hope, and how the military shaped a better future for me. Plus, I’ll be answering listener questions about life before and after joining the Marines.

So, whether you’re at a crossroads or just looking for a dose of inspiration, stay tuned. Don’t forget to leave an honest review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. Now, let's get into it!
