In this week's episode of "Full Circle with Shawn," we dive into a pivotal chapter of my life: my time in the army. Starting from the tough decision to join , to the demanding and often unforeseen challenges of military service, each moment has contributed to the person I am today.

Join me as I recount my journey from basic training to becoming a non-commissioned officer faced with the responsibility of rebuilding a base camp in Iraq. I'll share stories of resilience and resourcefulness, like improvising repairs on essential equipment under pressure and my unexpected encounter with hot sauce in a roadside motel that felt nearly lethal at the time!

We'll explore how these experiences led me to meet my wife, make life-changing decisions, and ultimately, transition to a civilian life marked by entrepreneurship and innovation. This episode isn't just about military life; it’s about how the skills and lessons from those days helped shape my career in startups and business ownership.

Tune in for an honest reflection on the hardships faced and the unexpected moments of triumph, right here on "Full Circle with Shawn." Whether you're a veteran, active in the military, or someone looking for inspiration to navigate your own challenges, there's a story here for you.
