Embarking on a career transition can feel like navigating through a relentless storm. Casey Reitz joins me to share his compass—the values and resilience that have guided him from military service to the laughter-filled realm of stand-up comedy and now, towards the noble path of law enforcement. His compelling narrative reveals the crucial role community plays in finding one's post-service place in the world, and how pursuits like Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu can serve as an anchor during times of change. The conversation weaves through a tapestry of personal identity, growth, and the power of belonging, offering a beacon to those weathering their own professional shifts. The pursuit of purpose can often lead us through unforeseen challenges. Through my own story, we traverse the landscape of performance anxiety, self-growth, and the siren call to serve. Five years since trading my military uniform for civilian attire, I've encountered crossroads and climbed mountains, culminating in a decision to don a different kind of uniform in law enforcement. We unpack the complex emotions tied to a father's legacy and how the drive to serve transcends the need to escape, shedding light on the inner workings of the call to protect and serve. In our final chapters, the spotlight falls on the need for recognition, the cultivation of self-worth, and the art of self-awareness—especially poignant for veterans assimilating back into civilian life. Casey and I explore the delicate dance of communicating our needs to superiors and peers. Through stories of unvoiced triumphs and unheard efforts, we underscore the power of self-affirmation in the face of obscurity. Join us as we reflect on building a robust self-awareness that can guide us through stress, conflict, and the heavy mantle of past missteps, encouraging all to step into a brighter, unburdened future.

Reflecting on a year rich with heartfelt stories and transformative insights, we close our season with an episode dedicated to the values that guide us through life's maze. It's been an incredible journey with you, our listeners, and my team—Wendy, Bethany, and Adam—who've been the backbone of our tenfold growth. Together, we've ventured deep into the intimate landscapes of personal identity and self-awareness, illuminated by the experiences shared by our guests. As I look back on my own path from the Marine Corps to the reserves, the contrast between personal character and the often one-dimensional economic narratives prevalent in media becomes strikingly clear. This episode is a toast to the power of personal values and the promise of returning after the holidays with even richer conversations that reach beyond our daily transactions. Amidst the whirls of political beliefs and the challenge of leadership in today's world, we turn our attention to the Importance of Character and Perspective. The actions and policies of figures like Trump invite us to weigh outcomes against intentions, and our guests have shed light on the indelible marks of play, confidence, and faith on our personal and political narratives. Reisa Schwartzman, Carla Palmer, Cindy Dagnan, Danielle Lindemann, and Doug Hunt share their unique perspectives that remind us of the universal yearnings for security, esteem, and connection. As we peel back the layers of character and its influence on our collective consciousness, this episode stands as a testament to the enduring quest for understanding and the multifaceted human experience that transcends political divides. Join us for a season finale that encapsulates the essence of our shared humanity and the values that define our journeys.
