Get to know Josh Berndt.

This episode introduces Josh Berndt, a Wisconsin native now living in South Carolina, who reflects on his journey from the Fox Cities region through a long and decorated military career and his subsequent transition to civilian life as a teacher and coach. A major theme explored is the difficulty of transitioning from the rigid structure of military life, where he served 20 years as an infantryman and drill sergeant, to the often-unstructured civilian world. The conversation also touches on Berndt's early life aspirations, including being drafted by the Los Angeles Dodgers, and delves into his personal insights on success, motivation, and the importance of mentorship for young leaders.
