What does a perfect world look like—and who gets to decide?In this episode of The Collective, we step into a deeper conversation around utopias and dystopias—not as distant fantasies, but as reflections of what we value, fear, and strive for every day. Together with our guests, we explore how these ideas impact our lives, decisions, and the kind of world we’re each trying to build.We’re joined by - Justin Sheehan, a former U.S. Navy SEAL who served with the elite SEAL Team 6. With decades of operational experience in high-stakes environments, Justin now channels his discipline and focus into teaching firearms proficiency, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and being a father. - Yohance Boulden, a former U.S. Army intelligence specialist with a background in strategic operations and analysis. Since leaving the military, Yohance has carved a unique path as a private contractor and global adventurer—combining analytical precision with a fearless drive for experience. Do equity and unity define utopia? Or does individual freedom come first? Why do dystopias often feel more relatable than ideal societies? And if no two people share the same vision of a better world, is true harmony even possible?This episode isn’t about perfect answers. It’s about better questions—and the courage to live according to the ones that matter most.👇 Drop your thoughts in the comments:What does your version of a better world look like?Would others thrive there too?🔔 Subscribe for more conversations that challenge the status quo and inspire better living—every single day.#TheCollectivePodcast #UtopiaVsDystopia #JustinSheehan #YohanceBoulden #NavySEAL #ArmyIntelligence #PersonalGrowth #DeepConversations #Leadership #VeteranVoices #SelfMastery #BetterEveryDay
