that you can follow to navigate through this maze. That's true. All right, let's get into it. Alright on first question, Jocko. I am an experienced paramedic on a strong seasoned team that takes pride in our work.

Despite lacking the respect of nearly everyone on our shift, including several battalion chiefs, he was recently promoted to sergeant and is training to fill in as battalion chief, largely due to his relationship with management. How do you respect someone's leadership position when you don't respect or trust the person holding it? Well, thanks for your service.
