In this week's episode of Just Friends, Jude & Lula welcome the awe-inspiring and compassionate James Hatch. A veteran, master parachutist, esteemed military dog trainer, and now a Yale undergrad at 55 years old, James offers his unique perspective on ambition in academia, the costs of militia, and the mental health crisis rampant on college campuses. James shares his journey from SEAL to student and what universities could learn from military leadership. The trio also delves deep into the importance of vulnerability in bottom-up systemic changes. Plus, Jude might have just found his new mentor!

Check out James Hatch and his work!!
