The Army’s core values can be summed up in the acronym LDRSHIP: Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity, and Personal Courage. While many of these values may resonate with us still long after leaving the military, they don’t necessarily define our own core values.
In this episode, Lyn Christian talks to us about the importance of identifying our core values. She gives us some tips on how to evaluate ourselves to help us find our own core values.
Lyn’s company Soul Salt has also offered a generous discount on their Be True course. Normally the course is offered at $199, but listeners of this podcast can get it for only $25*!

Lyn speaks on topics related to leadership, time management, career reinvention, and how to find your purpose and live a badass life. So, Lyn, thank you for being on the show. Welcome. Why don’t you tell us a little bit about yourself and what you do?
Lyn Christian: 01:08 Sure. So, I grew up in rural Utah. My father was a Marine from the Korean War. And so, I grew up with a jarhead uniform in my father’s closet that he would put on occasionally.
