And this is a conversation part two with Nate Boyer. And we jump right in where we left off talking about waterboys.org and his involvement there.

We take the conversation to explore the difference between PTSD and PTS growth. We talk about the process that he's gone through and the many transitions that he's had in his life and the risk to go for it. And that process of being able to take a shot, even when the chips seem like they're stacked up against you.

And we leave the conversation talking about the importance of being part of something bigger and his story around why that matters and how that matters to him is wonderful. And if you could just take a quick moment and maybe even press pause right after I'm done with this part of the conversation and go to iTunes and find Finding Mastery. And if you just could take a moment and write a review, I'm grateful for it. It's helping create the momentum that we're noticing. And all of the social media activation is wonderful as well as just taking a few moments to write a review on iTunes.

And the more momentum we can generate, the more likelihood we can keep this tribal conversation moving forward. So I want to thank you in advance, grateful for all of us that are interested in Finding Mastery and the people's lives that we're celebrating and the mental skills and psychological framework that they're revealing how they've worked to develop both along their path. So thank you to everyone who's been on. Thank you for everyone who is finding this of interest and spreading the word. So without further introduction from my behalf, let's jump right into the conversation with Nate Boyer. Okay, Nate, we're back.
