Welcome back to this week's episode of the Ones Ready Podcast! This week, Aaron and Peaches engage in a thought-provoking conversation with Chris, a former Recon Marine, Pararescueman, and now Chief Operating Officer of Onyx-Ind.  In this dynamic discussion, Aaron and Chris venture beyond the battlefield, offering a comprehensive look at Pararescue history, the pivotal moments, and some of their failures within the pipeline.  However, the podcast doesn't end there. Chris shares the insights he's acquired during his time in the National Guard, shedding light on the training, camaraderie, and sense of purpose that are intrinsic to this elite group of warriors. His experiences in the guard have significantly shaped his journey and contributed to his remarkable problem-solving skills. Throughout the episode, Aaron and Peaches underscore the importance of identifying gaps and implementing solutions, drawing parallels between military missions and civilian life. Chris offers a personal perspective on the undervaluing of one's skills and the need to pivot when circumstances demand it, a valuable lesson for anyone navigating their own career path.
