I always pictured the top of the mountain feeling different than it did. What I got was standing at the summit of the only thing I'd ever trained for, at nineteen, looking down and thinking, this is not it.. and somehow, in some strange way.. it turned out to be the most important thing that had ever happened to me.

I'm bringing you into the years I spent doing everything right. This is an episode about the Good Soldier.. because maybe, like me - you followed all the rules, collected the papers, and still feel quietly certain there's more. If so, I recorded this one for you. Listen, then come find me over on Substack or Instagram for the deeper dives.
