Yes, 100% yes

This is beautiful! Thank you and my deepest love to Betsy and Joey

So Inspiring, thank you for such a great message!

I think I've said this before, but this may be the best interview you've had so far! The fact I wonder if I've said this before goes to show your growth as both a podcaster as well as a person as a whole. Fantastic episode as always! Love this one!

That intro really hooked ya in. Very deep and beautiful moment for this mother and son. Great interview/conversation here

Such a great episode. Very insightful from start to finish. Loved the “slow down” message! When we received my son’s diagnosis the importance of early intervention was immediately pushed (which I don’t disagree with). But this being your first big introduction to supporting and guiding someone on the spectrum, it applies a sort of mental pressure where you feel there’s a strict window when that’s not so much the case as we see here.

Mike your best work yet. Love seeing you run this interview, highly engaged, compassionate, great questions

Man teared up 30 seconds in. What an incredible moment

This was really cool to watch - Rudy was a great guest, enjoyed listening to his story!

You have a lot more freedom in the military if you know how to make yourself an asset. One of my favorite parts of being enlisted was being given a task and having it left up to me to figure it out and then training the unit after I learned it. I'd be off on my own or in a class while everyone else was whining about having to do PMCS and crappy details. I always tried to work my way away from all that.

Yep there are many jobs in the military just like the ones outside the military. Can’t get away from working…

Reminds me of being army...its stupid and retarded as shit most days but you also make some unique friendships. Get to do certain things that you wont do anywhere else...i also reckon a lil stockholm syndrome is there too.

Being in the squad bat was great. We just read and wrote letters, we're allowed to generally relax.

Facts.... Its the comrade that we dont have after getting out.... Not a devil dog, army, but same same

I don't wish i was back in the country let alone the Marines I've built a life in india

So, the actual reason why they miss their Marine days is that they didn't need to think for themselves. They were told what to do, when to do it... And then they find themselves in real life, where they need to make their own decisions. Man, I guess anyone would miss that! I hate thinking!

I do! SEMPER FI MY BROTHERS. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

It’s called drama bonding

BROTHER HOOD…. NEIGHBOR HOOD…. No matter what your institutionalized..

It's the brother hood

I spent over 15 years of my life in the army, towards the end I was getting bitter, my body was broken, endured many hard days and was discharged on a medical because IED’s are unforgiving. I miss it every single day, because of the men and women to my left and right in front and behind, had my back as I had theirs and they were closer to me than my own flesh and blood. The army was the best thing I ever did and I miss my brothers and sisters every day. That will be the number one argument you hear about the military is your buddies, your family that is closer than your own biological family. The best people in the world are veterans, soldiers, marines, squids (navy), and some airmen. Sorry Air Force, but the first time I ever got shot at was by you guys, and I still hold the grudge because you guys have a hard time identifying friendly’s, even though you guys have all of the best updated and current technology while the army and the Navy and the Marines get your hand, me downs, but yet I have never been shot at by a squid or a devil dog because they can do target identification without the fancy equipment

Great episode! My favorite part was definitely hearing about how excited he was to be deployed. It’s amazing how many brave men and women we have willing to serve our country!

Nah brother you were recruit lettuce it was close enough 😂

Well said!

Awesome, Michael

If God was the most important thing to you, you’d be appearing on a podcast from your monestary.

I hope this is an encouragement to take the time to disconnect and get one on one with God in the middle of our busy days…it’s so necessary.

Yay Connor! 👍

He’s big in saying time after time ‘I don’t care what others think of me’ as he appears wherever he can and makes videos for others. As ugh he’s a beer drinker

Love the honesty in this conversation

You’re a true brother

You were made for this, pumped you are continuing to build it up!

You guys are awesome, Happy New Year! Loved the rock climbing analogy. That rock may have gotten you where you're at, but it may be time to find another one. Gotta keep moving forward.

No better duo!

Yes! It’s very important to have casual conversations with the Lord. Therefore, you can grow your relationship with Christ!

So good to see Manny back again Loved the Fishing story 🤣

My one disagreement with a concept discussed (generally) is I believe in getting absurdly specific on goals. I want to make this amount by this date, and here are my quarterly target to hit that. I want to take my girl out on this exact day at this time on tuesday every night to improve our relationship.

Loved Mannys analogy about checking maps

are significantly reduce intake of it.

As you dog, you gotta stop playing video games hahaha

One day you are going to release an episode that will change the life of some random person, I just know it. Keep on keeping on, man!

Manny, if it makes you feel any better, I think very highly of you!

Keep it up Mike! You're just going to move further forward in 2025

Mike, if you’re ever hesitating to make another video, don’t! I think I speak for all 958 of us, we are pumped every time you put up a new video!

Love the humility with this show. I have zero doubt that you will continue to excel and it’s not because you are extremely articulate, or ask amazing questions (which you do), but because you are committed to decades not days.

I can’t believe some fool chased you, gotta get strapped up

Incredible episode, I love these solo episodes
