Hello all,
I have been listening to the podcast since the start and over time I have come to value Jocko's message more than most. I set many obstacles in my way at a very young age leading me to drop out of school with a 9th-grade education and then living on the streets in NOLA and Austin somehow making it back to my home of upstate SC only to carry on with a life of hard drinking and drug addiction for years to follow. My wife and the birth of my first of 3 kids inspired me to at the very least stop taking drugs but I still have a daily struggle with the drink even after watching my father drink himself to death. That being said, the more I embrace the extreme ownership mentality the easier it gets. I am now in a leadership role at work and do my job very well and I hope to continue to improve in this aspect of my life but more importantly, I want to be a better husband and father and I think staying on the path will allow me to accomplish just that.
TLDR: Hello, I'm happy to be here and I'm looking forward to learning from all of you.
