Our guest today is Craig Mayville, a five-year Marine Corps veteran and CEO of Vätten Cold Plunge. Craig has over 11 years of experience in military aviation maintenance and exotic car maintenance, and he now focuses on enhancing wellness through cold plunge technology. Today, he will share insights on his transition from military service, the benefits of cold therapy, and his journey in building a successful business. But before we dive in, I want to tell you about our new free community at themissionafter.org. In addition to meeting like-valued veterans, we are also creating a library of free courses. Some of what we have in there right now is Breathe, a Microdosing Guide, and a list of upcoming retreats we’re hosting and co hosting. There’s a lot more in the works as well. Come join us at themissionafter.org.

Summary

Craig Mayville shares his experience in the Marine Corps and the challenges he faced. He discusses his transition to civilian life and his journey to improve his health through dietary changes.
