In this episode we're diving into another round of listener-submitted questions. I always appreciate the honesty and vulnerability of these questions, and this week is no exception. First up, what does it really take to be The Best? Whether it’s in sports, business, or even sweeping the floor, how much sacrifice and commitment are required to reach the top? Are the sacrifices worth it, what is the cost of greatness, and finding purpose along the way? Next, a question about being “good enough.” After a year of life upheavals, a listener reflects on his deepest fear—never measuring up, never being enough. It’s a feeling that drives him to improve but also leaves him questioning whether satisfaction and self-acceptance are achievable. Finally, a question from a listener dealing with night sweats and high blood pressure long after leaving military service. It’s a frustrating struggle, especially when medications don’t seem to help, and it’s now impacting his marriage.

Full Episode
Good morning, everybody. Friday programming for today is going to be traditional. We're going to do some Q&A. I have some questions today that two of them are kind of thematic, and I think you'll see why when I answer them. A good volume of questions coming in recently. I'm going to do my way to chip away at them. And I also got a suggestion.
We've been playing around with doing some episodes with just Michael and I. Somebody made the suggestion. Actually, not somebody. Multiple people made the suggestion that If I, what do we call it, Bolt Action Friday, Negligent Discharge Friday, whatever it'll end up being. Talk with Michael in his 20s, I'm in my 40s. A couple people suggested adding my dad.
Now, I don't know what to call it if there's three generations sitting around the table, but we're going to try that probably next week. So I'll have my dad, who's currently on the road, probably driving at 30 miles an hour in the left-hand lane, somewhere from California back here to Montana. I apologize for anybody that he slows on their travels. We'll get him here, assuming he makes it back.
Michael and myself. Three generations of, I'm not going to say wisdom or knowledge because I have neither of those things. Experience, maybe? Lack thereof when you come to Michael. I mean, he's only 23 years old, so what can he have? But that's what it's going to end up being. I think next Friday, if we're not able to get it in then, it'll be coming soon.
So I appreciate the suggestion from the listeners on that one. We're going to go ahead and get that done. Let's dive in today. Traditional Q&A. Before we get into that, just give me the chance to pay the bills. That's all I ask. 60 to 90 seconds, and we'll be off right back into the show. Today's episode is brought to you by Spartan Forge. the creation of my good friend, Bill Thompson.
Now, I've had him on the show. You can go back through the show and find it. He explains his background in the military, where he came from, and also the Spartan Forge app. This thing is ridiculous. And I have it up here on my laptop. I'm going to hit record so the viewers can see what I'm looking at right here. First and foremost, this is designed around the hunting space, for sure.
But there are so many things that are in this that you will find in other hunting-based apps. And then there are so many things that you will not as well. I use this and I am going to use it for hunting. But honestly, I'm using this for aviation even more. There's a very traditional software called ForeFlight that any pilot would likely recognize.
But I balance back and forth from ForeFlight to Spartan Forge, especially for rotary wing. And I'll show you guys exactly why. So the screenshot you guys can see is where I live. And up this top area here is... you can select what you want to see on the map. Now, right here, I have satellite imagery. And obviously, satellite imagery changes depending on when the pass occurs.
So there's a good example right there. From Sat 1 to Sat 2, I'm going to say this is a different season. Sat 3, it'll change it a little bit. Topo, if you want to, you can get a look just at the topographical breakout of where I live. But here's how I use this often for a rotary wing. This is an example of the area that I live in.
