In this inspiring episode of the ASVAB Domination Podcast, Mickey sits down with 1LT Sean Lundy of the Minnesota National Guard. Both returned Peace Corps Volunteers, Mickey and Sean dive deep into their eerily parallel journeys—from global service to leading soldiers. They talk about studying for the ASVAB as older, more life-experienced recruits, navigating the National Guard, emotional intelligence in command, and what Peace Corps teaches you that basic training never could.

Topics covered:

  • Studying for the ASVAB with a growth mindset

  • Emotional intelligence as a leadership asset

  • The Peace Corps mindset vs. the military structure

  • Transitioning from idealism to service execution

  • Officer-Enlisted relationships built on trust and learning

  • The meaning of life (yes, Viktor Frankl gets a mention)
