What does perseverance look like at 84?

In this episode of the Semper Try Podcast, Bill sits down with Ed Manley, a 21-year U.S. Navy veteran, former FMF Corpsman with the United States Marine Corps, educator, and author — recorded live at Podfest in Florida.

Despite a recent Alzheimer’s diagnosis, Ed is still creating, still teaching, and still moving forward. From joining the Navy at 17 in 1959, serving during the Cold War, working alongside Marines, rising from enlisted sailor to commissioned officer, and later educating thousands of military members, Ed’s story is a powerful example of perseverance, resilience, leadership, lifelong learning, and never quitting.

Because trying beats quitting.
