About this listen

 What if the thing breaking you down isn’t the system but the belief you can’t fight back against it? Alex Muddiman spent nearly a decade in the Air Force chasing a dream of flying, only to have a hidden medical condition ground him for good. He pivoted to cyber, battled misdiagnosis, fought for the proper care, and stayed on mission even when leadership didn’t have his back. Alex’s story is every overlooked line in the reg, every late night Googling your rights, and every moment you wonder if you’re the only one banging your head against the wall. How he mapped out his entire ROTC plan on a napkin — and made it happen Why a single commander showed him the kind of leader he’d never be The day a simple test proved he wasn’t broken, just misunderstood How he used ADHD as a weapon, not an excuse Why knowing the regs better than your boss is the best armor you’ll ever have ⏱ Chapters: 00:00 Intro 02:10 Growing up in Springfield, Massachusetts 08:20 From welding to Air Force ROTC 15:50 Building a three-college plan to chase the sky 23:10 Getting grounded for good and pivoting to cyber 31:00 Living in the Barney Chair and learning to fight back 38:40 How leadership failed — and what it taught him 46:00 The night shift that cracked him open 52:00 The TOVA test that changed everything 59:00 Why the reg book is your best friend My name is Adam Peters, and I’m here to unf*ck the transition.
