Episode notes

Jon and Will sit down for a conversation with Marine Officer Veteran and Author, Jake Cosme, to discuss "Victim vs Hero Mindset"  

Jake Cosme is a  US Naval Academy Grad, class of 2005.  He is a Marine Corps Officer Veteran who served two combat deployments in Iraq, but then, in summer of 2011 he was pulled over for DUI - leaving the Marine Corps the following year with adverse fitness report.  That was the beginning of a downward spira which ended in his losing his house and going bankrupt, which he found to be his turnaround moment. Since then he has gone on to author a book, The Recipe - A Marine's Mindset for Success - outlining the ingredients for success… and now he is in tech and crypto currency.
