Episode 3: The Long Way Around
Brock opens up about the path that led him to nursing — and it's nothing close to a straight line. In this episode, he takes you back to the beginning: a pre-med student who hit a wall, made the decision to drop out, and did what most people around him didn't see coming — walked into a Marine Corps recruiting office. He talks about the medical separation that pulled him out of the uniform before he was ready to take it off. Then he gets into the pivot — how nursing found him, or maybe how he finally found it. Why the bedside made sense in a way the lecture hall never did. What it's like to build a career in healthcare after the military. If you've ever felt like your path didn't make sense to anyone else — this one's for you.
