All right, folks, welcome to the team VTAC podcast or if you're on YouTube, I guess that

we're calling this the spun up version of these and glad to have all you folks out there

with us.

Today, we got a guy, we were just talking about this before we went hot here just a second

ago, 32 years in the military, he said he just was trying to figure out what he wants

to be when he grows up, but I'm not sure he's even doing that out yet.

No, you know what, rodeo clown looks pretty good, I'm still thinking Batman might be possible.

So Doc, Mike Simpson, man, it's great to have you.

Great to be here, brother, thank you.

So just so people right out of the gate, I want them to kind of understand where we're going

with this, I call you Doc and if you were a, if you were an SF medic, I'd call you Doc.

So you've been an SF medic and you're actually a real doctor now.

Yeah, I've got this.

So I went from being, as in the, they say in the movie, The Green Berets, I reckon I'm not the

best doctor, but I'm the best one practicing without a license. I was in that category.

And now I actually have a license, which really just means more accountability.

Well, we'll, the reason we're here, your book just came out and you wrote a book called

Hound finding your edge as a man over 40. And you, I was on your podcast a couple of months ago and

you sent me a pre copy of this and it's upsetting. There's so many things I'm doing wrong.

That you pointed out that I've got to get, you know, it's not to feel like.

Yeah, yeah, and that's the thing. You should have made it, maybe you should write another one

for guys over 50 because I'm over 50 now, but most of this stuff I think applies at that age bracket too.
