  • Great podcast

    Found this from his Instagram page. I really like his thought process and how matter-of-fact he is without him being a “bro-vet.” He talks about things like he’s a good friend of yours who wants you to succeed. Also, I’m a therapist and what he’s saying is good and will help you in your thought process to help you.

  • Really helps reflect on your role in the workplace !

    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!
