## Resource

On this episode, I interview Josh Mach, Marine veteran and host of the JMach Podcast. We discuss the "opportunities" presented by failures, his experience with Ayahuasca therapy, and the power of changing perspectives. This conversation was heartfelt and honest, drawing on both the host's and guest's experiences, both as content creators and as veterans.
