In this episode of The Karol Markowicz Show, Karol sits down with James Hassan, a former Army officer, attorney, and author, to discuss his journey from military service to writing—and what inspired his book on the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Hassan reflects on the failures of leadership exposed by the Afghanistan exit, the cultural narratives shaping views on marriage and parenthood, and where he believes society is headed next. The conversation also dives into the influence of social media on mental health, productivity, and family life, with practical advice on how stepping back from the digital world can lead to a stronger, more meaningful life.
