Joe England is a retired Army veteran with an unconventional path through special operations, including Special Forces support, service in one of the Army’s most secret special mission units (TFO/ISA), and later Army aviation as a helicopter pilot. In this episode, he shares hard-earned lessons on selection, leadership, identity, mental health recovery, and how those experiences shaped his mission today through his Stoic Viking platform.
