🎧 Episode Summary:
In this thought-provoking Part 2 with Sean Lundy, we explore the powerful overlap between service in the Peace Corps and the U.S. military. Sean reflects on returning home after Peace Corps, navigating reverse culture shock, building community, and why service-minded individuals make great leaders — and even better founders.
From doing ACFT makeups on his birthday to building a venture firm that backs RPCV entrepreneurs, Sean brings depth, humor, and hard-earned insight. This episode dives into the “why” behind service, the power of mentorship, and why embracing your insignificance might be the key to lasting impact.

🎂 Taking the ACFT on your birthday & the new standards
💍 Why service stories always resurface — even at weddings
💡 The shared hardship of Peace Corps & the military
🧳 Reverse culture shock and “aftershock” after service
🪖 The psychological resilience Peace Corps instills
