Mike Albrecht

Esoteric Quandary

This episode is with Mike Albrecht, a twenty-five-year veteran and fellow Green Beret who seems to have figured out his happiness and transitioned better than anyone I know from the military. Mike and I talked a little about his childhood, what motivated him to join the military, and why he wanted to be a Green Beret. Since the military, rather than doing the typical route of government work, Mike took a little break and took off to Europe for the infamous Camino De Santiago. This sacred pilgrimage is located through France's southern portion and the northern portion of Spain through the Pyrenees. Mike loved it so much he actually did it twice and walked from Geneva, Switzerland, all the way to Santiago, Spain. Van life has become extremely popular in the last decade, and Mike opted to sell his house and try to live off the beach on the coast in Pacific Beach near San Diego. It was a great time catching up with a guy I haven't seen in a while but always inspired me just to live your life.
