Live The Creed Podcast: Recent Episodes
Jonathan Barbera
The Live The Creed Podcast is hosted by Jon, Chris, and Josh. With the intent of sharing, connecting and inspiring, the guys cover all topics related to their brand and the creed that they have set for themselves and the company.
There is no question that Colin has done it all. From his time with the British Commandos to serving as a Police Officer here in Idaho. With all that just scratching the surface of his service. This is our second time having him on the show, so if you missed the first one be sure to check out EP|15. We took a different direction on his return and discussed some of the lessons learned while serving both in the Military and in the Police. Lessons that he will carry with him his entire life. We touch base on the cruel reality of seeing people on their worst days, and how that can unfortunatley cross over into your personal life. Coming to terms that sometimes we need a little help to see us out of the darkest times.
This week we had the chance to sit down with Sam (PrepMedic) to discuss both his time as a critical care flight paramedic, reserve deputy sheriff, and tactical medic as well as his highly educational Youtube channel. Sam brings a lot of knowledge to his followers in regards to selecting the right medical gear, as well as gaining insight into the life of EMS and law enforcement. If you have never checked him out be sure head over to his Youtube channel.

With Black Friday and all the holliday shopping right around the corner, delays in supply chains are forming a logistical nightmare. Massive container ships are pilling into ports with no efficient way to offload their goods. Just like everyone else, we are at the mercy of these ships to get our supplies in time, and be able to stock up for the busy months ahead. Give this one a listen if you are unaware of the issues going on at our ports. Shop: www.LTCreed.com Follow us on Social Media: @LTCreed Contact us: ChrisB@LTCreed.com
We took a few days off to wonder into the elk woods and try our hand at filling our freezers by way of bow and arrow. Well... Murphy had our number this trip, and as the law stipulates: whatever could have gone wrong, did. We hope you get some pleasure from our pain, we know we'll be laughing at this one for years to come.

Man...what a week! We attended a locally organized reception for the POTUS with some of our friends and industry partners. After posting on IG that we went to show our support for the individuals right to chose whether or not they want to vaccinate against COVID, we lost over 1000 followers and had more than a few comments calling us everything from criminally negligent, to an anti-science death cult. It's all good, because FREEDOM! Shop: www.LTCreed.com Follow us on Social Media: @LTCreed Contact us: ChrisB@ltcreed.com

A few weeks have passed, but we have not forgotten about you. It has just been busier than normal around the LTC HQ. So busy, in fact, that we hired a new guy. Garrett. We think he is pretty cool, but we will let you decide for yourself. We also talk about general shenanigans, and best practices for applying for a job. We are hardly experts, so...grain of salt. ENJOY!!! Shop: www.LTCreed.com

You have a job, earn a decent wage, participate in society, etc. If you have done the math, you know that simply setting a small percentage of your income aside will not build long term wealth and security. Ryan Kilpatrick, @sleepdollars and @embracetherecoil, on Instagram, specializes in building passive income streams. We discuss how he started and ran a textiles business out of a trailer, has built multiple successful social media audiences, and how he is now focused on investment strategies in both crypto and traditional stocks. Listen in and let us know what you think!

The idea of holding liberty ransom for compliance with a vaccine program is asinine at best. There is no denying that many people have been affected by the COVID-19 virus, but are you willing to forfeit your rights for the hallow promise of safety? Spoiler alert, we are not. In this episode we take some time to talk about how the idea of a vaccination passport is growing in popularity and what our thoughts are about it.

We missed our upload last week. We are sorry, but we made up for it with our guest for Episode 18. JP Dinnell is a former Navy SEAL that now works for Echelon Front as the Director of Experiential Leadership Training. JP offers some awesome insight into what it means to lead a business and a family. To say that discipline is the cornerstone of JP's and the EF mantra would be a mild understatement. We hope you can get something from the principles discussed.

In episode 16 Jon, Chris, and Josh take some time to break down the newly introduced H.R. 127, proposed by Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas' 18th District - thanks Texas... 127 is arguably the most comprehensive gun legislation that has ever been proposed; it would make overnight criminals of the vast majority of the gun owners in America. Take and listen, but more importantly read and get involved.

For episode 15, we had the honor of sitting down with a truly unique individual. Mr. Colin Yates spent an entire career as a British Commando with multiple tours of service and even earned a Ranger tab. Following his impressive military career, Colin moved to the U.S. and served as a police officer for another 15 years. Now he spends his time training up a younger generation of officers and service men and women in tactical and emergency medical response. We had a great time listening to the decades of stories and wisdom that Colin has to offer, and we are looking forward to the next episode with him.
Enjoy!
Episode 14 | Josh and Jon bring in a local Firefighter/Paramedic/Tac Medic/Echelon Front Event Medic/Entrepreneur...well you get it. Dan has circa 16 years in service and has a chronic tendency to get involved in new things. We think that you will enjoy this conversation, we certainly did!
