Man, you just had to be there… 2024 was one of the hardest years of my career. I had the package, the experience, the work ethic—but when the Gunnery Sergeant board came out, my name wasn’t on it. I felt like I wasn’t good enough. I questioned everything. But instead of letting that moment define me, I made a choice—to keep grinding, to double down, and to make damn sure that when my time came, I was ready.
This episode is for anyone who’s ever been passed over—whether it’s for a promotion, a job, or an opportunity you KNOW you deserved. I break down what that moment felt like, how I bounced back, and the lessons that got me from rejection to selection.
If you’ve ever felt overlooked, unappreciated, or like all your hard work wasn’t paying off—this one’s for you. Stay in the race. Your time is coming.
