Mike Drop: Recent Episodes
Mike Ritland
The Mike Drop podcast is hosted by former Navy SEAL, Mike Ritland. It is a not so politically correct discussion of wide ranging topics that span from government, politics and war to health and fitness, from guns and survival skills to food and nutrition with music, BBQ and a touch of everything else in between. This is THE platform that is completely raw, totally unfiltered and in your face, while still intellectually sound with good intuitive dialogue between A-holes that know what they’re talking about.
As a senior non-commissioned officer of Delta Force, the most elite and secretive special operations unit in the U.S. military, Command Sergeant Major Tom Satterly fought some of this country's most fearsome enemies. Over the course of twenty years and thousands of missions, he's fought desperately for his life, rescued hostages, killed and captured terrorist leaders, and seen his friends maimed and killed around him.
Since then, Tom's found an incredible partner in Jen Satterly, started a nonprofit at The All Secure Foundation, and even kicked off a podcast of his own talking to other amazing veterans about their stories beyond the battlefield, All Secure with Tom & Jen. What keeps this warrior going? Let's hear it from the man himself.

MARSOC. Intelligence Hacking. Dagger Ops. For Staff Sergeant Michael Bloch, doing rad stuff is all in a days work. And after 12 years of service to our country as a Marine Corps. Raider, Bloch's been busy - he's served as a combat instructor, deployed as a contractor, and even founded his own company, EBS Defense Consulting, along with Project Vetworx, a veteran nonprofit. It's a lot for any one person to handle, much less a vet suffering post-traumatic stress. Fortunately, the V.A. has options for treatment like Nuvigil, a medication that's reported to promote wakefulness. But like any medication, too much of a good thing can quickly turn out bad. Just take it from Michael.

After only 18 months at Savannah PD, Officer Jon Lindsey made the jump to SWAT - partly due to his Army experiencing serving on The 75th Ranger Regiment, but mostly due to his outstanding work ethic and a natural knack for the job. Paired with K-9 Jas, the two got into their own fair share of scrapes and close calls, but nothing too serious. That is, until a race to a scene went all too wrong in July of 2021. Fortunately, when it comes to working dogs, Mike knows a thing or two about loss.

Officer Jon Lindsey is what you'd call a 'dog guy'. He's also a husband, a father, and a veteran - he served as a Multi-Purpose Canine Handler while a member of the 75th Ranger Regiment. After the Army, he took up at the Savannah Police Academy in Georgia, where he trained police K9 prospects, until he officially joined the department in 2019.
Since then, it's been a wild ride serving the good people of Savannah, but it hasn't all been sunshine and rainbows. Let's meet the man.

Call of Duty. The Terminal List. In the entertainment world, Erin 'Jammer' Switzer is already a stud - and that's without mentioning his service record. Throughout his career, Erin spent 23 years in the special operations community after serving as a Reconnaissance Marine, where he worked alongside several K9 teams and developed a passion for working dogs. Eventually, he adopted Rex, who would eventually land roles Call of Duty, The Terminal List, and more, along with joining him in his work at BORTAC, one of the United States' elite Border Patrol special operations divisions. Safe to say, there's an awful lot to talk about when it comes to Erin Switzer. And that's not all - he brought Rex to the studio, too.

Since his days in deployment, he's pivoted; a turn as a Texas State Trooper on Border Patrol and a police officer in Austin certainly don't hurt his already outstanding resume. But titles are more than just accolades - they're a sterling reminder of the gun fights, close calls, and high-speed chases that can only happen on American highways.

Christian Holloway was just a mild mannered, all-American, belt-fed marine, right up until he found himself being deployed as infantry to the second battle of Fallujah. It was far from the only time he'd find himself in a tough spot - Christian's got more than one story of close calls, stray squirters, and unexploded rocket-propelled grenades courtesy of Saddam's best and brightest.
Eventually his experiences led him to becoming one of the earliest members of MARSOC, the Marine Special Operations Command that's now known as the Marine Raiders, where he found even more action from an entirely different side of the globe. That's why he's sitting down today to tell us all about it.

Last week on the podcast, Mike talked to Greg Anderson about his background and military service - after a turn as an Army Ranger with 14 overseas deployments and some additional work in private contracting, Greg stepped into law enforcement as a U.S. Marshall, and later a Police Officer for the Port of Seattle in Washington. All of these moments are things that would define anybody else's biography - soldier, contractor, Marshall, officer, and even Jiu-Jitsu gym owner would all be enough for an already outstanding life. But for Greg, it's all background for one particular day on the job - when he published an Instagram video of a fiery defiance of unconstitutional lockdown orders from inside the very squad car he served the public from every day.

'No one is coming to save you.' It's not quite as dour as it sounds - to Greg Andseron, it's a phrase that he says all the time at his Electric North Jiu Jitsu Academy in Washington. It reminds him to chart his own course; that you yourself are truly the only person blazing the trail for your own life. And it's perfect for him too - not all that long ago Greg was an Army Ranger with 14 overseas deployments, with an added turn in private contracting and even a brief stint as a national U.S. Marshall. He also served as a Police Officer in Seattle, right up until the heat of the COVID-19 pandemic when he went viral with a video from inside his squad car where he explained that officers like himself have a civic duty to protect and serve the constitutional rights of the American people, consequences be damned.
Safe to say, Greg's got quite a story behind him - one that's still developing, as he continues to speak his mind from his gym, his instagram, and his podcast, Endless Endeavor with Greg Anderson. But it's not always about who you are. Sometimes it's about where you came from.

Zach Garner's career as a Green Beret was on thin ice. Following his first seizure, he quickly discovered that something deeper was beginning to rise to the surface - a cavalcade of medical maladies that nobody could've predicted. Fortunately, Zach's no quitter, so he shifted gears, transitioning seamlessly into contract work and participating in Iron Man marathons around the country.
But sometimes there's more to life than simply being resilient, and some illnesses aren't so easily remedied - especially when it comes to an invisible enemy so horrifying that it eats its victims from the inside. Time for some medical miracles.

Resilience is a word that gets thrown around a lot when it comes to describing the warriors and veterans that fight for our freedom, but few embody the term moreso than Zach Garner. On the surface, he's a retired Green Beret from 7th Special Forces Group that completed multiple deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. But a peek under the hood tells a different story - surgeries, seizures, multiple-month hospital stays, and even a brutal fight with an absolutely devastating flesh-eating bacteria have all played a part in his life. But to hear Zach tell it, that's why he's here - to share his experience and the lessons he learned throughout his recovery, in the hopes of providing solutions to the obstacles we all face. If Zach can do it, anybody can.

Know thyself - that's what Micah Fink says. And out on his Double-H Ranch deep in the backcountry of Montana, that's exactly what he's teaching combat veterans to do - providing a solution that doesn't include prescription medications or even traditional psychotherapy, but rather the opportunity to use tools to rediscover their own inner strength.
But Micah didn't just up and decide to create an environment like this. It comes from a place deep within, tapped from a well of memories he'd much sooner forget. Because according to Micah, we've all got the answers inside ourselves - we just have to find them - and us - first.

Micah Fink is on a mission - to un-program the programmed. Deep in the backcountry of Montana, out on the Double-H Ranch, that's exactly what's happening - every year, 32 male applicants are hand-picked from a pool of thousands to join Micah at Heroes & Horses to unpack the human mind; to uncover the true meaning behind this vast experience we all call life.
Considering Micah's background as a 10 year Navy SEAL, it's probably fair to ask - what's it all mean? What's it all for? And how exactly is 41 days on the Double-H Ranch supposed to solve anything? Fortunately, Micah's got the answers.

On Episode 134, Scott Mann talked about his humble beginnings - enlisting in the Army, working his way up to Special Ops, and discovering some of the most untold parts of the world in a way only a good soldier can. But Scott's leadership, and the struggles that came with it, were only small part of that story. In Part 2, Scott digs into the challenges that come with leading, and the often absurd political machinations that come with it, before diving into the aptly named Operation Pineapple Express, reviewing his charitable works, and explaining just how he managed to get on a stage in his acclaimed play 'Last Out: Elegy of a Green Beret.'

Towards the peak of his military career, Bryan Ray had achieved nearly everything he'd set out to do. He'd excelled as a solider, embraced command, and been entrusted with the kind of decision-making that only the bravest dare to reach. But as any mountaineer knows, with the highest highs come the lowest lows, and it's all too easy for a leaders mind to wander when lives are at stake.
Part 2 of Bryan's story picks up where Episode 131 left off - a harrowing story of how another day in the desert became an unforgettable experience, for better or worse.

Bryan Ray always wanted to be the best soldier. He served 20 years in the U.S. Army, 15 of which were in Special Forces. He's deployed to Afghanistan, Africa, and Iraq, going from the most inexperienced infantry to ultimately running teams as command. He's also a mountain man, schooling amateurs on everything from moderate hiking to ice climbing at some of the highest elevations on earth.
Over the course of his career, Bryan's had a lot of close calls, from ISIS ambushes to a Taliban prison raid and even a hair-raising story of an AC-130 call gone wrong. And since then he's pivoted into Health Via Modern Nutrition, a Mike Drop favorite for fans of high-energy operations. But one thing he knows for sure is don't be a leg - and never, ever quit.

Welcome to Carter Ranch, a 40,000-acre natural spring-fed slice of heaven nestled in the western slope of Wyoming's Big Horn Mountains. On Carter Ranch, owner RC Carter is raising a family, honoring his legacy, and hanging his hat on the premise that the best tasting beef has to be raised slowly and with respect to the truth, which is nature. But respecting nature takes more than simply raising cattle - it's building a sustainable environment, from the air, to the water, to the soil, to create better food with richer nutrients for a stronger quality of life. Because at the end of the day, we truly are what we eat - and nobody knows it better than RC.

Kelly Sayre is Founder & President of The Diamond Arrow Group, a company that builds women's self-confidence with realistic tactics and tools to help them live life safely and on their own terms. She's the author of 'Sharp Women', a thought-provoking read designed to break down ways for women to deal with everyday situations using their best self-defense weapon - their intuition. She's a speaker, bringing energy and humor to undeniably challenging topics like women's safety and violence prevention, and when she's not teaching people to be better, she's a mother of two and married to a police officer.
Safe to say, Kelly knows just about all there is to know about using your intuition to pick up on the little things - the signals, the red flags, and all the signs that point to danger that you can sidestep, if you know how. But how did she get there? Where did she develop the tools? And most importantly - when things start to go awry, are you really safe?

He's a six-foot-six warrior through and through, with a thorough list of awards that includes the Silver Star, three Purple Hearts, two Bronze stars, the Special Operations Command Excalibur Award, and more. He's also considered the first Green Beret to return to combat as an above the knee amputee - a record-setter with a flair for sacrifice, determination, and selflessness.
Rest assured, Nick recalls exactly how he lost his leg, in an engagement so shocking that it's only counter may be the moments that immediately followed, in a horrifying Medivac incident that nearly cost him his life. But how did he survive? What called him to go back? And how the hell do you go back to being a Green Beret with only one leg? Fortunately for Mike, Nick's got the answers.

Staff Sgt. Julian McDonald served nine and a half years in the army, predominantly as a Ranger and a Ranger K9 Handler, with eight deployments between Iraq and Afghanistan, and a Purple Heart to match. He's also Layka's handler, who, if you haven't heard, is one of the most famous dogs to come out of the military in recent memory.
With Julian in tow, MPC Layka's graced the cover of National Geographic, been the subject of an HBO Documentary, and even helped Channing Tatum make a little movie called 'DOG'. But when you ask Julian just what makes Layka so special, it's not just the dog, but Benno - the one who showed Julian the way - that really counts.

Artificial Intelligence? Nowadays most folks think AI is coming to take their jobs, but Rob Huberty doesn't think so. He's a retired member of SEAL Team 4 with three combat tours under his belt, not to mention a startlingly impressive sniping record at a range of over 1700 yards. Today, Rob's the Chief Operating Officer of ZeroEyes, a bleeding-edge security company that's using AI to detect firearms on existing security cameras in public venues all over the country, and Rob's not alone - he's running ZeroEyes with fellow SEAL Team 4 members CEO Mike Lahiff and CRO Sam Alaimo too. But how does ZeroEyes work? What are the risks involved? And how are a bunch of retired SEAL's going to make it better?

Scott Huesing is a retired United States Marine Corps Infantry Major with 24 years of service, including 10 deployments to over 60 countries worldwide. He has led hundreds of combat missions in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Horn of Africa, and since then he's authored the bestselling book, Echo in Ramadi, which tells the story of his experiences and the sacrifices of his fellow Marines during the Second Battle of Ramadi in 2006. Today, Scott serves as the Executive Director of Save the Brave, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping veterans and active duty military personnel. But regardless of the time that's passed since, one thing's for sure - Scott still feels the Echoes of Ramadi, in one way or another.

Who is Chad Robichaux's JSOC interpreter Aziz? During their eight deployments together in Afghanistan, Chad and Aziz saved each other's lives more times than either could count, providing invaluable intel and establishing connections all over the region. But when the Afghan government fell and interpreters began being hunted by the Taliban, suddenly Aziz and Chad had bigger problems. Because it wasn't just getting Aziz out that was the problem - it was getting his family out safely too. And of course, neither could have known at the time that they were building the foundation for Save Our Allies, an organization that's helped thousands of families escape since.

Tyler Grey grew up in Bakersfield, California, joined the army in 1998 and quickly advanced from training into the 75th Ranger Regiment, 2nd Battalion, spending most of his time there as a Sniper. He spent the rest of his career at Ft. Bragg. Grey deployed four times - two each to Afghanistan and Iraq - before he became disabled from an explosion that occurred during a late-night house raid that turned into a gun-battle in Baghdad in 2005. Nowadays, Tyler's an actor, producer, and director on the CBS show SEAL Team, where he puts his skills to work teaching others about the challenges our country's heroes face every day. But how did he get to work on an actual television show? Do people assume he used to be a SEAL? And what exactly happened in that late-night house raid in 2005 that changed everything?

In 1993, U.S. Special Operations Forces were sent to Somalia to capture war criminal Mohamed Farrah Aidid - a mission made famous by the movie "Black Hawk Down". For many, the movie's a glimpse into what really happened - but for Jeff Struecker, it's merely a shadow of a memory he's been remembering for 29 years. Because Jeff Struecker was there during the Battle of Mogadishu, and he remembers everything. Frankly, between serving 23 years in the military, raising five kids, earning a PhD, authoring six books, hosting a podcast, and leading the fine members of his congregation every single Sunday morning, it's still difficult to forget. That's why he's sitting down with Mike to tell his side of the story - the real story - and get to the bottom of how it all happened.

What's happening in the Russia-Ukraine war? Retired Recon Marine Mark Turner might have the answer. He's a founder of The Overwatch Foundation, a humanitarian nonprofit that's been assembling teams of U.S. Military Veterans to provide critical natural disaster relief and urgent humanitarian response communities all over the world. Mark isn't just sending heroes to help - he's been there, on the ground, in the days and weeks following the Russian invasion into Ukraine. So what's going on over there? Is it really as bad as they say? And most importantly - what can we do to make real change?

Major Fred Galvin is a retired Marine Corps Major who served as an enlisted Marine and officer for over 26 years. He served on multiple combat deployments in Afghanistan, including where he commanded the Marine Corps’ first Special Operations Task Force. He's also been painted as the "posterboy for the largest mass murder in U.S. Military History." Since then, he's fought for the freedom of every single marine that was under his command that day - to exonerate the men who volunteered to lay down their lives for their country and restore their reputations, even at the cost of his own career. So how did he do it? What happened that day? And most importantly - who's telling the truth? Fortunately for Mike, Fred's got the answers.

"No one listened to me until I held up the sign." That's Zach Bell's outlook anyway - known online as Veteran with a Sign, Zach's got a lot of hot takes about America's military and the heroes who serve. That's why he's sitting down with Mike to talk about his time serving as an infantryman in the Marines, the nightmare reality of his time in Marjah, and how something as simple as putting sharpie to cardboard turned into a movement that's quickly becoming too big to ignore.

Wait a minute, a politician? On Mike Drop? Relax - Allen West is one of the good ones. He's a Republican Politician and Retired Military Officer who, believe it or not, doesn't work too far from the studio. That's why West was kind enough to dip in and spend some time talking about Parachuting into Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm, running for Texas Governor against Greg Abbott in the 2022 Primary, what it's REALLY like to work in Congress, and answer a lightning-fast round of rapid-fire foreign and domestic policy questions that have been on Mike's mind for years.

It's kind of crazy when the whole world wants to know about the only five seconds you can't remember. At least that's what Kyle Carpenter says. For Kyle, those five seconds happened on a rooftop in Helmand Province, Afghanistan when he jumped on a grenade to save himself and fellow Marine Nick Eufrazio. Now, after three flatlines, three years at Walter Reed hospital, dozens of surgeries, and a Medal of Honor award in 2014, Kyle's here to talk about it.

After two combat deployments with SEAL Team Two, Eddie tried out and was selected for DEVGRU, the elite of the elite and the tip of the nation’s spear in the fight against terrorist threats worldwide. Terrified of missing the action, Eddie became a breacher, the first man to the door on a target and one of the most dangerous jobs imaginable. Eddie endured five more deployments to Iraq, Afghanistan and Africa in his role, relishing in taking the fight to the enemy as he engaged in countless examples of extreme close-range combat.

Losing our countrymen in war is something that is we have to deal with, but one we accept in that it’s a necessary evil to combat those who wish us harm. When those deaths are clouded in controversy, it makes it incredibly tough to accept.

Active police K9 handlers are usually at the tip of the spear when it comes to dealing with the toughest calls. I sat down with Kyle Shoberg, who’s spent 14 years as a police officer - and half of that as a handler. We get in to the difficulties of policing in such a polarized political climate and also numerous shootouts he’s been in during his tenure.

I’ve had the honor to meet many a strong independent women in my life, and this episode was no exception. I sat down with Hollie McKay, author of “Only Cry For The Living” who has spent years covering the war torn Iraq/Syria region of the Middle East at the height of the ISIS onslaught. It was both inspiring and gut wrenching all at the same time, and really gave me a perspective reset that is always powerful and necessary to appreciate what we have and where we live.

The Duality of Service when completing 10 combat deployments with development group, all while being a staunch Christian is delicate yet impressive balance. I had the honor of sitting down with AMTAC shooting owner Bill Rapier, where we discussed his time serving in one of the most prestigious units in existence, growing up overseas, his family and faith, and living off the grid in Northern Idaho. Super interesting life of one hell of a warrior.

Since the beginning of combat, weather has played an enormous role in how it's won and lost. Countless souls have been lost due to miscalculations of weather and it’s impacts on the battlefield. In this episode, I sat down with an active duty Air Force Special Warfare Weatherman. From being in gunfights alongside green berets, to missing windows of helo extract that results in being snowed in for 2 days, a fascinating look at a very small and elite, yet vitally important element of this nations war-fighting tip of the spear.

I talk a lot about maximizing opportunity as I believe there is no shortage of it in this country. This episode is a prime example of it. I sat down with Angel Cortes - former L.A. gang banger turned Army Ranger, and now studying to be a registered dietician to help the type of communities from which he came from. Lots of great insight into immigration policy as well as rising up in the face of abject poverty and adversity.

The Ironman race... 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike, 26.2 mile run. A ridiculous feat of preparation, endurance, and mental toughness. To not only finish, but to be a 3 time North American champion and shatter numerous course records around the world is on a different level. I had the pleasure of sitting down with Matt Hanson who accomplished just that, and asked him all about what that’s like at that magnitude. I was always a big fan of triathlons growing up, and this episode I had a lot of questions and desired insight into the mind of someone who has competed at that level. From bike crashes to shitting yourself, we get into what it really takes to push yourself way past what you thought was possible.

Born in Kuwait and baring witness to the gulf war Iraqi invasion of his home country, Yousef Badou grew up around the kind of violence that made him want to combat it as he got older. After serving several combat tours as a U.S. Marine, he took part in a special project to train and teach other war fighters to be able to assess and predict violence through body language and context. I had the pleasure of sitting down him to discuss all things related, and of course tie in the parallels of dogs.

The last few weeks have been some trying times in our nation, to say the least. I wanted to bring two former guests on with as relevant of a perspective as I could think of to both shed some light from their perspective as well as give mine, while having a healthy and necessary discussion. This episode I had the honor of having former SEAL Remi Adeleke and former Army Ranger Nick Irving discuss all things race-related for our country. I hope that those who listen, do so you understand and not respond or confirm. Starting by respecting one another, and truly trying to understand the others perspective is the key to moving forward and coming together.

The most famous mission in modern history, a bad ass K9 that accompanied the SEAL team that conducted it, and the operator/handler that took K9 Cairo on that mission. That, ladies and gentlemen, is the latest Mike Drop episode. I had the honor of sitting down with @willcheeese, author of @noordinarydogbook, to talk about all things Operation Neptune Spear to take down the worlds most wanted man - Osama Bin Laden.

Hearing about men being led into battle and ultimately being lost is something that is never easy to listen to, but is necessary to digest as a nation keeping the promise to never forget about its soldiers that pay the ultimate sacrifice. I sat down with Jeff Morris, author of “Legion Rising” about his role as an Army captain in charge of numerous men lost at the height of the Iraq war. Many tough memories recounted on this one, memories we all need to be aware of.

There are times when I have the opportunity to sit down with some extraordinary men and am routinely humbled by their stories. This was absolutely one of those times. Mike Day is a retired Navy SEAL who was shot 27 times on one mission, and managed to kill the 4 insurgents who shot him, then walked himself to the medical helicopter. This is one of the most remarkable stories I've been honored to be told first hand, and one that I know you guys will appreciate.

Arguably the most polarizing story in the history of the SEAL Teams, the war crimes accusations surrounding Eddie Gallagher have made it a tumultuous story for our entire nation. The president intervened when pre-trial confinement protocol wasn’t being followed, the media has portrayed a narrative and perspective, now it’s time to hear Eddie’s side of the story. I sat down with Eddie face to face, and wanted to get all of the questions I think most of us have answered. Irrespective of what side of the fence you sit on, listen to the whole thing and get all sides before you judge.

The inspiration that comes from speaking with real life heroes is impossible to quantify. I continue to be humbled by the caliber of individuals that are willing to share their story with me. In sitting down with former green beret/unit member and owner of Fieldcraft Survival, Mike Glover, I continue to be amazed. After 20 years of service to this country in the highest of capacities, we talk about his experience as tomb guard, green beret, and Tier 1 operator. More importantly, we talk about how those experiences shaped who he is and how he brings that knowledge to your everyday citizen through his company, Fieldcraft survival.

This episode is especially meaningful for me. Two of my closest friends, (Clint Emerson and Shane Hiatt) that I’ve been to war with, and all three of us close with Glen Doherty. We talk about our time together with Glen in platoons at SEAL team 3, Iraq, and transitioning out into entrepreneurism afterward. Never a dull moment with these two bad asses.

With all the conflicting information out there about health and nutrition, I feel obligated to bring different folks on regularly to discuss the ins and outs of all things food.

A strong, powerful and independent woman who perseveres through whatever stands in her way... is a perfect description for my guest on this episode. I had the pleasure of sitting down with Lt.

Our way of life that has become routine and ordinary is one of the biggest contributors to our societal degradation. The only way to fix this issue is for each of us to act, and that starts with setting the example. In this episode I sat down with Jason and Iris Gardner, and they exemplify such an example. Very raw emotion from both about life experiences, the horrors of combat, sexual assault, and the positives we can all draw and learn from with those experiences.

There's no job more polarizing and controversial right now than being a police officer. There have been a number of stories in the past few years that have fanned the flames of controversy as it relates to how officers use their authority. It's a constant tough job where split second decisions that have life long impacts occur constantly. This episode I sit down with Sam Bonilla, a captain with a Chicago suburb police department, attorney and USMC vet right in the thick of where our mainstream media highlights such issues. We talk about all things cop, from race relations to drugs, second amendment rights, Body cams, abuse of power and training deficiencies. Great perspective from a man who's lived it for over two decades.

The rivalry between Marine Raiders (MARSOC) and the SEAL teams is fierce and constant. I'm often asked about the difference between the two, and what they are like. In this episode I sit down with Nick Koumalatsos to talk about them, Force Recon, and all things leatherneck. More importantly, we dive into his book "Excommunicated Warrior" to discuss the path and struggle that exists for veterans as they find their way back into the civilian world upon exiting from the service. Great info and insight about struggle and how to overcome it.

Ladies and gentleman... we got em. Those words forever etched in our minds from the day that Saddam Hussein was finally captured after months of raids and tireless searching. I sat down with the man responsible for breaking the source that led to that capture.

The tumultuous situation at the border is more complicated than we hear about in the media. We only hear what they want us to, and it’s not even close to what really goes on. In this episode I sit down with Jaeson Jones, former higher up at the Texas department of public safety, where he ran counter terrorism/narcotic operations as well as the renowned Texas rangers. We get into all things border security, drug legalization, and how to combat the constant pressure coming up towards us. There’s a lot of dicey situations uncovered in this one, strap in and hold on.

How prepared are you in terms being attacked in a real work setting? Violence is part of human nature, & there are examples all day everyday of people who are woefully underprepared for it. I sit down with the legend, Tony Blauer of Blauer Tactical Systems. Tony is the real deal and after 40 years studying violence, mindset, resiliency & more his program is much deeper than a how to punch or choke someone out, there are so many good real world lessons in this one!
The SEAL teams are filled with ultra competitive over achievers, men who set their minds to accomplish a goal & don’t stop until they are either successful or dead. I am incredibly fortunate to be able to sit down one of those men in this episode. Former combat veteran SEAL, SEAL K9 handler & now NASCAR race car driver Taylor Canfield joins me and tells his gripping story of overcoming challenges and ultimately kicking life where it deserves. No shortage of inspiration on this one!

You guys asked for it, & you got it. Circling back with the reaper, aka Nick Irving.

There are times in our lives when we feel defeated, at our lowest, and like we can’t win. Most often here in this country, the “problems” that we complain about are very trivial. I talk a lot about perspective on my shows and how we should all use it to gain insight on the issues we face.

Where does your perspective come from? Is it influenced by real life experiences from having been immersed in other cultures or is it sheltered by affluent America?
