<p><em>This one feels different.</em></p><p>It’s the first time I’ve ever made something this personal for <strong>Geeky Stoics</strong>, pulling back the curtain on my struggle as I lost myself in my Air Force career, and how I found my way back, training for a Half Iron Man. It’s a story about <strong>identity</strong>, <strong>ambition</strong>, and the moment you realize you’ve been chasing someone else’s version of <strong>success</strong>.And the only way I knew how to tell it…was through the lens of <em>Star Wars.</em></p><p>Luke Skywalker has always been my guide for understanding who I want to be. While he struggles and loses his way, he still finds his way back… A hero, like his father before him. Somewhere along the way, I forgot that. </p><p>This video chronicles my obsession <em>to remember again</em>.</p><p>It’s called <strong>“The Dream That Refused to Die.”</strong>And before it goes live to the rest of the world on YouTube, I wanted you, the Geeky Stoics community, to see it first. So here it is. </p><p></p><p><p>Geeky Stoics is a reader-supported publication.
