S1 E5: Interview with PJ Josh T.

Welcome to the Insight Thru Experience Podcast. This week, we interviewed Pararescueman (PJ) Josh T. who answers the questions that will help operators prime themselves for our selection process and our Operator Training Course. His energy and motivation have stood out since I first met him at the dark crossroads at 0230 on Day 1 of our selection. He has proven that hard work and being able to turn critical feedback into fuel are a few of the keys to unlock peak performance. Enjoy this episode with Josh. He is enjoyable to listen to.
