Hosted by retired Army veteran, author, and speaker Lee Jones, each episode explores resilience, reinvention, leadership, regret, and the lessons people learn through experience. The goal is simple: help you jump the line, gain insight sooner, avoid unnecessary mistakes, and keep moving forward. Sometimes, the wisdom you need is already inside someone else’s story.
