93. Behind the Uniform: Part Two of My Conversation with Major General "Max" Haston

If you haven’t listened to part one of this conversation, do that now!In this second part of my conversation with Major General Terry “Max” Haston, I sit down ready to ask the questions most people tiptoe around. I’ve always believed you can support the troops and still challenge the story we’ve been told about military service, and Max meets me there with honesty, grit, and zero sugarcoating.We get into what deployment really feels like and Max breaks down what it’s like to bounce between war zones and everyday civilian life. He shares about the pressure of leading people who depend on you, and the hard truth that budgeting and bureaucracy can shape missions just as much as bravery does.What struck me most is the way he talks about leadership. Hearing him describe the resilience it takes to train, deploy, adapt, and still come home standing hits a lot deeper than the patriotic slogans we’re all used to.If you’ve ever questioned the narrative, wondered what service actually demands of a person, or wanted to understand the human being inside the uniform, this episode is where that conversation starts.- - - - - - - - - - -Liz Durham Instagram | WebsiteSubscribe Apple Podcast | SpotifyBeing Different with Liz Durham is a Palm Tree Pod Co. production
