03XX Series Interview Bryan Laney

Tyler and Jose catch up with their Brother Bryan Laney in this episode. Laney shares his love for teaching, its impact on his post-service outlook, and how it pertains to a cycle of meaning, passion, and purpose. I'd like to thank Laney for spending a couple of hours out of the day to share a piece of his life.

I don't like to put words in others' mouths, but at the current moment, 2/8 finds itself with the loss of two Marines. Not even a year ago, I received a phone call from Laney, telling me Andrew Swoveland had passed over. Not long after, we both linked up and drove to Indiana to Swove's memorial service. Once there, we met with 2/8 Marines and gave our final respects to Swove. Picking up the pieces after a loss has not been easy, and some of us, more than others, feel that heaviness. I respect Laney because amidst Covid, teaching, and losing his Brother, he is still here making an impact on America's next generation of young citizens. For those out there on the edge, we're still here, and you're not alone.

Semper Fidelis
