IV. Outro 

We want to thank Jared for coming into the studio and sharing his story with us. We all want to believe we are prepared to face the worst, but he has actually done so and lived to tell the tale. He brings a tremendous amount of value in the training he provides and his example of the will to live is inspiring.
