Originally, this was a traditional Q & A episode, and then at the beginning of the last question, young Michael decided to just walk into the room and crash the show. I suppose it is a mix of Full Auto Friday and a Negligent Discharge Friday. Here is what we covered: -How do I know when it is time to just give up on life? -I need sleep aids at night. How can I still be prepared for a home invasion? -Thoughts on hormone replacement clinics -Struggling with identity and self-worth Enjoy!

Episode 415 - Bear Handlon - A Navy SEAL on a mission to erase 25 Million in Medical Debt
Bear served 7 years as a Naval officer in the Special Operations community as a Navy SEAL. He founded Born Primitive in his garage in 2014, the same year he earned his commission. Bear balanced being active duty while building what would become a global brand with zero outside funding. Prior to his service, Bear played Division I football at Yale University and also competed at the CrossFit Games. Bear became hell bent on creating Born Primitive Tactical after seeing the shortfalls in the gear he was being issued as an operator, while also seeing many apparel brands in this industry that did not actually support those who serve.

It is safe to say that I have wandered a bit. I served in the military, flew some jets, jumped out of most, climbed mountains (I jumped off of them too), taught fitness, owned a gym, and have spent the last few years speaking to organizations and leaders. It has been a journey, and in all honesty, I have no idea where it is going. I seek the things that make me uncomfortable. I move towards things that scare me. I think you should too
