In this episode, I'm joined by Erick Quintero to trace his incredible journey from Nicaragua, to California, into the U.S. Marine Corps as an Anti-tank Assaultman/Machine Gunner, and onward into data science! Erick and I also chat in-depth about the challenges some combat veterans in the datasphere face related to Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Erick provides examples of healthy techniques to manage those challenges and live your best life!
