About this listen

In this episode, Keith sits down with Josh McFarland, a former Army EOD specialist turned city plumbing inspector in Minneapolis. Josh shares his journey from a challenging youth in a strict religious community to discovering plumbing through family ties, transitioning into military service in his 30s, and ultimately building a rewarding post-military career in plumbing and inspection. He talks candidly about the ups and downs of his plumbing career, the demanding path through EOD training, his unique experiences protecting dignitaries in the capital region, and the personal challenges and growth that came with military life. Josh also discusses his involvement with the EOD Warrior Foundation and offers valuable advice for those joining or leaving the military. This episode is a raw and insightful look at perseverance, career transitions, and finding purpose both in uniform and beyond.
