In this episode, I receive my very first guest on this podcast, Ensign Alexius Russell, who is on her way to become a doctor in the United States Navy. In this inspirational conversation, Alexius talks about her career in the military, but also how she overcame abuse and other kinds of adversity, remained focused on her goals, and manifested so much to get to where she right now.
