Unyielding Spirit: Jason Stone's Journey from Navy Chief to Cancer Fighter

  • Summary

  • What does a retired Navy Chief, a dedicated educator, a passionate writer, and a resilient cancer fighter have in common? They're all the facets of our extraordinary guest, Jason Stone. Jason's journey is nothing short of inspiring - a whirlwind of two decades in the Navy, a transition into teaching, and a recent battle against stage four prostate cancer.

    We kick off this episode with Jason's military tale that threads from his decision to join the Navy to his tenure as a nuclear machinist mate. He paints a vivid picture of life aboard a ballistic missile submarine, the unique rhythm of night shifts without sunlight, and the adrenaline of carrying 24 ICBMs onboard.
