Why does modern life leave so many people feeling empty?

In this episode, I speak with Mike Glover, a former Green Beret and CIA contractor.

We explore why comfort, instant gratification, and modern convenience may be making people feel more lost, disconnected, and unfulfilled.

We talk about purpose, discipline, self-reliance, and why many people don’t change until they’re faced with crisis, regret, or mortality.

This episode will challenge the way you think about comfort and what it takes to build a meaningful life.

Mike Glover is a former Green Beret and CIA contractor, and founder of Fieldcraft Survival.
