In this powerful episode of Talkin’ Crazy, Meech sits down with Lexus Schaeffer—Marine veteran, former MACE Chief Instructor, and current leader in the Human Performance Branch. What starts as a walk through Schaeffer’s Marine Corps journey turns into a masterclass on leadership, humility, and growth. From showing up at the MACE as “Nick the New Guy” to leading the entire program, Schaeffer breaks down what it takes to lead leaders.
The two dive into their shared experiences—balancing family and mission, learning from failure, and how real leadership means telling people they suck… and helping them get better. This one’s not just for Marines—it’s for anyone chasing growth, respect, and real impact.
