Jody Mitic is a Canadian gem! He's a best selling author, podcaster, former Ottawa city councillor, finalist on the Amazing Race Canada and veteran sniper of the Afghan War. 

His time in Afghanistan, as a sniper, ended with him having a bad day at work and losing his legs due to an IED strike that changed his life forever. 

During his recovery, he decided to get after it and set the example to show that Canada's young veterans have something to say and are going to take our rightful place in Canadian society. 

Today we chatted about his early career in the Royal Canadian Regiment, his injury and how it has impacted him, casual drug use and taking pictures of a salami with the James Webb telescope.
