    As a Marine, everytime I hear anything from this podcast I either relate to it and wholeheartedly agree, or I feel called out 😂 which is good, because then I can reflect. There’s never not a moment I’m not leaving with something. Whether it be a laugh or some knowledge! 10/10 recommend! Keep Talkin’ Crazy!
