## Resource

Retired Navy fighter pilot John Mann doesn’t hold back. In this raw conversation with host Joseph Varghese, John dives into the battle after the battlefield—losing identity, fighting imposter syndrome, and rebuilding through discipline, structure, and purpose. His story fuels his upcoming book, Snapshots: Reconciliation of a Tender-Hearted Warrior. This one’s about grit, growth, and living with integrity.
