Marching the Middle Way

Marching the Middle Way

Chris brings a particularly unique perspective to the show by speaking to his peculiar odyssey back to "normalcy" and civilian life at the end of one of the strangest years in recent history. Brandon and Chris take a tour of some unorthodox topics including:

- irregular learning styles

- the insights of Eastern philosophy and Buddhism

- wisdom vs knowledge

- balancing progress and well-being

- taking the "long route" in life

- the effects military service on fear, ego, and personal identity

- reevaluating "homelessness"

- the beauty of the "street dog"

- the importance of levity

- the absurdities of Special Forces training

- the power of acceptance

- the limitations of regret

- why hope deeply matters


and various others!
