What's going on everyone, Welcome to another edition of Confessions of a Native Son, I'm your host Mike Steadman. I'm a Marine Corps Veteran, Entrepreneur, and Aspiring author, who enjoys thought-provoking and engaging dialogue about race, culture, and business. In the following episode, I address the most difficult subject matter of this show, my combat deployment to Afghanistan. Five months into my six month deployment, I was relieved of command. This is my first time telling this story and my most audacious confession.
