Adrian Massey, Lieutenant Colonel, Published Author, Evolved Soul

This episode is like NONE other- raw, real and DEEP! I had the honor of talking with Lieutenant Colonel Adrian Massey of the United States Army. I am humbled to share space with him as he shares his personal grit story and profoundly life changing moments that forever shaped his life path. He speaks on his experiences as a soldier, in leadership in the military, and how his perspective has developed as a result of it. We talk gratitude, spirituality and religion, and what kind of human being we aspire to be in this world. Adrian is truly an evolved soul and I hope you gain as much as I did from this conversation.
