One of the best lessons ever taught to me (by a past podcast guest) was to remain humble, hungry and curious. 

Dealing with bosses, in any profession, can be tough. But first, you need to be able to examine who your boss is and determine what type they may be. 

The title for this one will suffice as the description.

I came across this book recently, Sober Man's Thoughts, by my guest, William Bolyard and knew that I needed to reach out to him to be a guest. 

His writing style is awesome, but just as awesome was getting to shoot the shit with him. Enjoy a conversation between two dudes who enjoy books, drinks, dysfunction and so much more. 

One of the things I've noticed as a trend is veterans talking about transitioning out of service and into the university scene. 

My guest today, Dr. Luke McClees, is the Director for the Office of Military Affairs and Services at Saint Leo University. The work he does for his fellow veterans (he served in the USMC) is truly important. It also helps that Luke is a good man and someone who enjoys serving others. 

I answered the dozen questions that I thought would give back to the audience the most. Hopefully this helps somewhat. 

There are days when the only ting you need to do is strive a little bit more. Give just an extra ounce physically for mental and emotional growth. 

Many times we get lost in the "battlefield" portion of combat and forget that in order to build it, you need volunteers. Brave men and women who are willing to serve others. 

Maybe even less realized, at times, is that everyone must return to base at some point. PB Abbate is helping with the latter part in a special way. 

Tony Haberer joins me to talk about many things, including playing college sports, serving in the Marine Corps, his transition into the civilian world, and also about him working to stand up the newest PB Abbate chapter, in Louisville, Kentucky.

One of the best things about this chat is Tony's ability to bring to light the challenges of transition into the civilian job sector, but also the various options available. 

Pete DePrez joins me to talk about anything and everything related to post-traumatic stress, head trauma, the stresses of law enforcement and so much more. 

With tons of experience in the First Responder world, Pete is someone I wanted to bring on to talk first hand about the world he's lived in.
