6. "Be a Game Changer" with CDR John Maksym, JAGC, U.S. Navy (Retired).

As you listen to today's podcast, you will discover an individual who had a most unusual career path, including one of the rare instances in which an individual left active duty, affiliated with the Reserves, and later returned to active duty.  As I listened to our conversation multiple times during the editing process, I realized that John's journey in the Navy, in hindsight, was preparing him for his post-military calling in a number of ways; from sacrificing his own desire to remain on active duty to be with his father, and continuously doing what Navy JAG leadership asked of him, John's naval career was about service and being a man for others.  And in doing so, he has been blessed with a very memorable and fun career.  John has continued this since leaving the military, which, among other things, includes the practice of law.   Although it is likely that only a few listeners will enter into the line of work that John is in now, he nonetheless offers sound advice on what your service as a judge advocate has prepared you do and offers sound advice regarding discernment. This episode was recorded in July 2021, before John Harbaugh had the successful season for which John Maksym hoped and prayed.
