    I’ve listened to M4S for years and always appreciate Brian’s insight. This episode was especially interesting because it really broke down the MAG selection process and ideal positions. I’ve heard the topic discussed many times but this one impacted me differently. Definitely reassessing my current process now. Thanks for the insight Brian. Looking forward to the next one!

    Researching topics that are both uncomfortable and necessary to plan for brought me to this latest episode. The conflict of everyday life does not outweigh the possibility of something negative happening.
