Books I'm Currently Reading
Still reading Navy Seal’s Guide to Surviving Invasions, Civil War, and World War III. You have to use it for a reference book or read a little and marinate.
I started Area 51: An Uncensored History of America's Top Secret Military Base by Annie Jacobsen. I won’t finish either of these before Jack Carr’s latest drops. That will be my road trip listen.

Favorite Podcasts
