BJ Lange joins us for an incredible conversation about how he left Hollywood to join the Air Force at 35 years old. He did this in his pursuit of becoming a medic. Not too long into his schooling BJ was diagnosed with testicular cancer. A huge setback to his goals, he had to re-frame how he was going to live his life. This led to him becoming a huge part of the Air Force wounded warrior program and teaching improv to others!
