Many people credit the military for helping prepare them for their career, or frankly, life itself.  John McGlothlin would agree- to the point where he recognized and shares his experiences and insights from his military career - as it translates into prepping him for so many potentials and circumstances. 

 We discuss his path into the Army and then his academic career from undergrad into law school.  The topics we explore go into the depths of the human condition, communication, social and team cultural dynamics and leadership.

John McGlothlin is a former Army paratrooper who has served across the globe, including in Europe, the Middle East, and after the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.  He began his career in intelligence before attending law school at the University of Virginia and becoming a JAG officer in the D.C. National Guard.

His writing background includes work as a journalist, speechwriter, and authoring his first book – *How to Deal with Damn Near Anything: The Paratrooper’s Guide to Life*.  The book was released by New Degree Press and captures how the hidden side of the military can benefit anyone, with a focus on five key traits and related stories.

John currently lives in Washington D.C. with his wife, the artist MK Bailey. His mission now is to help others develop as the military has helped him.
