For 15 years in the Marine Corps, I believed the best Marines were always the ones in the trenches — the ones in the fire, making the play when the chaos hit. But what happens when the organization pulls you out of the fire? Does that make you less of a Marine, or is it actually the thing that saves you?

In this episode of the Talkin’ Crazy Podcast, I break down the mindset of top performers who sacrifice everything — family, balance, even their health — for the mission. I share the story of being sent to SACO when I was a Sergeant, how I thought it was punishment, and how that moment actually gave me the space to reset, write my book, and build Meech Speaks.

This episode is for the Marines and leaders who pride themselves on grinding nonstop, but need to hear the truth: sometimes getting repositioned isn’t punishment, it’s preparation. Sometimes stepping out of the spotlight is exactly what you need to grow.

Pride over peace will burn you out. Balance will build you up.
