As a veteran, we are told there is one way to find our path, get an interview, get a job, get a degree, and you find your place in the world.

On the Military Veteran Dad podcast we talk about how that to create the change externally in our world we seek, we must first seek to change the world inside first. This has many angles to it, but at the core is understanding the blueprint you learned growing up is the one you default to when times get tough.
