005: How To Get To Where You Want to Go with Christopher DeVaughn
“Because things are so nice out in the regular world, that doesn't breed resiliency. Resilience is like a callus on your hand.” -Chris DeVaughn
B-2 Stealth Bomber- This legendary spirit aircraft is one of the most feared revolutionary inventions. As few as 20 units are in existence and only the best of the elites can man this Air Force pride- one of them is our guest on this week’s show!
