Summary

In this episode we dive headfirst (pun intended) into the thrill and perils of skydiving, exploring the razor's edge between risk and respect in high-stakes hobbies. Then, our Q&A segment turns the mic over to you, the listeners:

First up, a listener at the crossroads of life shares their journey from a stable job to enlisting in the Army's 18x Green Beret pipeline. Amidst the looming questions about meeting standards, fitting in, and preparing for the intense mental and physical demands, they ask for actionable advice on building a successful military career, maintaining family peace in the face of service, and nurturing relationships against the backdrop of duty.

Next, we hear from a battle-weary paramedic grappling with burnout after years of relentless public service. They seek guidance on reclaiming their compassion and zest for life amidst the embers of exhaustion.
