This week we welcome Nick Lavery, author of Objective Secure. Nick is an active duty member of The United States Army Special Forces. In 2013, he and his Detachment fell victim to an insider attack ultimately resulting in the loss of his leg. Following a year of surgeries and initial recovery including the use of a prosthetic at Walter Reed National Medical Military Center, he returned to Fort Bragg. Nick talks about the drive and focus on returning not only to his unit, but ultimately his combat team. In 2015, at the conclusion of a challenging, comprehensive assessment designed to evaluate Nick's abilities to operate, he realized that goal and was subsequently deployed once again to Afghanistan conducting full spectrum combat operations. The unlikely road from Afghanistan to Walter Reed, to Fort Bragg and finally returning to Afghanistan, is the foundation of Nick's Objective Secure philosophy and ethos. Nick discusses how that philosophy was transformed into a book that provides readers with the tools necessary to achieve any goal no matter how far-fetched, unlikely, or impractical it may seem. So no matter the road blocks that you see in front of you, this is the episode that will propel you to success. Strap yourself in and get ready for a shot of adrenaline with this week's episode.

Joshua Hood is the author of The Guardian (Blackstone Publishing, 2023), Treadstone Rendition, Treadstone Transgression, The Treadstone Exile, The Treadstone Resurrection , Warning Order, Clear by Fire, and most recently Burn Out . Josh decided to follow his brother into the military and joined the army after graduating with an English degree from the University of Memphis. He spent five years in the 82nd Airborne Division, becoming a team leader in the 3-504 Parachute Infantry Regiment in Iraq from 2005-2006 where he conducted combat operations in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. From 2007-2008, Hood served as a squad leader with the 1-508th Parachute Infantry Regiment in Afghanistan where he put more Foot-to-Taliban-Ass and was decorated for valor in Operation Furious Pursuit. On his return to civilian life, he was a sniper team leader on a full-time SWAT team in Memphis, TN, where he was awarded the lifesaving medal for saving the life of a civilian with quick, creative, and resourceful instincts. Burn Out is the story of former convict Jake Slade turned US Forest Service Smokejumper—highly-trained, experienced firefighters who provide leadership for quick wildland fires in remote areas. While he's ready for any of nature’s toughest battles while parachuting into raging fires, he wasn’t prepared for any manmade battles—especially one including his old friend, confidential informant agent Mikey Boone. Boone, who was almost killed by a cartel he plans to testify against, calls Slade for help while on the run. Unable to refuse an offer that promises his prison time to be expunged from his record, Slade complies, hoping to end the demons of his past. But what begins as a straightforward search and rescue mission swiftly becomes a harrowing run for his own life. We discuss the writing process from start to finish, what it takes to get your manuscript in front of a publisher, and how structuring fiction is important to telling a realistic story. Joshua talks about his experience as a veteran author, and we even geek-out with some Star Wars talk! So if your not afraid to hold your mind to the fire...this is the episode for you.

Silencer Shop is the largest silencer distributor in the U.S. Dave used his background as software engineer to streamline the silencer purchasing process, navigating the regulatory hurdles with a technology based approach. Dave discusses how his son being born with impaired hearing got him interested in silencers. He wanted to pass along his love for hunting and firearms to his son, but needed to protect his remaining hearing. Dave quickly learned that there had to be a better way to purchase a silencer, and Silencer Shop was born. With over 2.5 million veterans suffering from tinnitus, and countless more dealing with hearing loss, silencers may be the answer for protecting our hearing, while still enjoying hunting and target shooting. Ninety-five percent of hunters and thirty-eight percent of target shooters do not wear hearing protection while shooting, often worsening the effects of hearing loss. Silencers provide that protection while allowing users to observe and enjoy their surroundings. We discuss the silencer purchasing process, tax stamps, and ATF regulations. We also talk about how some of the recent Supreme Court decisions will impact silencer and firearms purchasing. Dave provides a simple roadmap to purchasing a silencer, while dispelling some of the myths surrounding what a silencer does and does not do.

But, in addition to being costly and injectable, they’ve also long been associated with a laundry list of serious side effects like joint pain, swelling, carpal tunnel syndrome, and even type 2 diabetes. For over a decade BioProtein Technology has worked with over 1500 of the industry’s leading Physicians and Practitioners looking to provide their patients with non-synthetic pharmaceutical grade anti-aging and regenerative therapies that work faster, easier, and safer. The result was BioPro+, the first 100% nonsynthetic, alternative to prescription human growth hormone (HGH) treatment. With years of experience working intimately with some of the world's most elite professional athletes, trusted physicians, and even international private security / military personnel Dustin's passion remains the same, to help individuals maximize their physiological and cognitive potential safely. Since his 20's Dustin has been instrumental in the product design and brand development for natural products in the professional athletics, fitness, and medical supply categories.

From a very young age, Brown knew he wanted to serve his nation and had a calling to work with military aircraft. He joined the U.S. Marine Corps in 1985 and was trained in aviation ordinance. In 1986, Brown sustained a spinal cord injury as a result of a diving accident while serving in Cherry Point, NC. During his initial rehabilitation at the Department of Veterans Affairs’ Spinal Cord Injury center in Augusta, GA, he was introduced to PVA and became a member of the Southeastern Chapter. PVA is a congressionally chartered veterans service organization founded in 1946. They have developed a unique expertise on a wide variety of issues involving the special needs of their members – veterans of the armed forces who have experienced spinal cord injuries and dysfunction. “PVA helped me through the process of filing for benefits,” Brown says. “They gave me ideas for accessible bathrooms and entrances to my house. They have offered me sporting opportunities I never would have thought about.” In 1987, he moved back to his native Missouri. Wanting to give back to the organization who had given so much to him, Brown served on the Gateway Chapter board in a multitude of capacities, including as Americans with Disabilities Act coordinator, advocacy director, treasurer, and vice president. While in St. Louis, Brown helped establish the Rolling Rams quad rugby team. He recalls recruiting players by making phone calls to rehab facilities, and even talking to people in wheelchairs at the mall. The team really took off when a couple of recreational therapists got involved and brought athletes with them. Brown believes in helping his fellow Veterans improve their quality of life and is passionate about continuing to help PVA improve the accessibility of our nation. Currently on the USA Boccia team, Brown was selected team captain for the Parapan American Games in Guadalajara, Mexico.

On January 16th, 2009, Don welcomed the newest edition of the Culp family, Braelyn Aubrey. When she was born, Braelyn never would make eye contact with her mother or Don. Within the first six months, she was flown by helicopter to a children's hospital. She had absence and myoclonic seizures and became very lethargic. This is when Don's family started uncovering some of the causes behind the lack of eye contact. After several doctor's appointments and a few hospitalizations, it was discovered that Braelyn had a chromosomal deletion. All of this unfolded while Don was immersed in Flight School, and continued as he prepared for a deployment. As she got older, the frequency and severity of her seizures increased. Braelyn was delayed with regard to both speech and motor skills. Despite her ongoing issues, she displayed a fighting spirit and a joyful personality. She achieved major milestones, such as learning sign language, feeding herself, talking, and walking. Braelyn was a loving child and, to Don and his family, she was their Superhero! She embodied joy, determination, and a no-quit attitude. Sadly, on October 2, 2012, Braelyn was called home to be with the Lord just three months shy of her 4th birthday. Don and I discuss the difficulties of balancing family and military life, and how the support of community and his unit helped him through this horrible situation. We discuss the Braelyn Aubrey Foundation, their early success and accomplishments, and how Don envisions future growth and advocacy.

We talk about the American Legion and their history of advocating for veterans. Their newest program is focused on combating veteran suicide. Today, the No. 1 issue facing the veteran community is suicide, according to the National Veteran Suicide Prevention Annual Report. The rate of suicide for veterans is more than 50% higher than that of non-veteran adults. The American Legion is activating a national platform to reduce the rate of veteran suicide. The goals of the Be The One Campaign are to destigmatize asking for mental health support, creating opportunity for those with mental health issues to speak freely and get the support they need, provide peer-to-peer support and resources in local communities, and to deploy FDA-approved therapeutics for veterans to identify issues and find resources for support. Dave opens up about how suicide has affected his life, and why he decided to join this important suicide prevention initiative. If we are going to win the battle against veteran suicide, we all need to believe that we are The Ones that can make the difference.

James is a former Security Forces airman, and current public affairs photographer, for the United States Air Force. Anticipating his separation from the military, James wanted to set himself up for success. To that end, he applied and was accepted into the Department of Defense SkillBridge program. The DOD SkillBridge program is an opportunity for Service members to gain valuable civilian work experience through specific industry training, apprenticeships, or internships during the last 180 days of service. SkillBridge connects Service members with industry partners in real-world job experiences. SkillBridge provides service members an invaluable chance to work and learn in civilian career areas. James walks us through how to apply to the program, and also discusses how SkillBridge, coupled with civilian networking, will lead to a smoother transition into a civilian career. We discuss the many pitfalls that military members face when getting ready to separate. He talks about the programs offered through government, and civilian, outlets, and why unfortunately many soon-to-be-civilians fail to take advantage of these opportunities. We also discuss the role NCO's and command play in setting our service members up to be successful when they leave the military behind. Finally, James enlightens us on a new program being used by military branches to combat suicide, the SAFETALK program. Through SAFETALK, service members learn how to prevent suicide by recognizing signs, engaging someone, and connecting them to an intervention resource for further support. James was the first NCO to teach the program at Patrick Space Force Base, FL. So if you are ready to kick off the new year, and your civilian career, with a bang...this is the episode for you.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedThis week we welcome Dale Jenkins, Author of DIPLOMATS AND ADMIRALS: From Failed Negotiations and Tragic Misjudgments to Powerful Leaders and Historic Deeds, the Untold Story of the U.S. Navy’s Victories at Coral sea and Midway. Diplomats and Admirals argues that the war in the Pacific was the result of internal divisions in both the United States and Japan, and possible duplicity within the Roosevelt administration. After continued Japanese expansion in the Pacific in 1941 and the total oil embargo imposed by Dean Acheson, the threat of war escalated. Japanese Prime Minister Konoe realized war with the United States would be disastrous for Japan. He made strenuous attempts to arrange a summit meeting with President Roosevelt but was continually rebuffed by Secretary of State Cordell Hull and his pro-China advisors Stanley Hornbeck and Alger Hiss. Roosevelt’s War Council, oblivious to the power of the Japanese Navy, believed the oil embargo would force Japan to withdraw from southern Indo-China. An agreement with Japan was within reach at the end of November 1941, but Chiang Kai-Shek and Madame Chiang exerted powerful lobbying pressure to prevent an agreement – they wanted the United States in the war to aid China. In response, Hull delivered a demanding diplomatic note, known forever as the Hull Note of November 26, which the Japanese viewed as an ultimatum. The result was Pearl Harbor. Diplomats and Admirals' penetrating historical descriptions and insights before and during WWII and across continents and oceans, culminates at the Battle of Midway, where U.S. Navy carrier pilots snatched victory from defeat in the last possible moments– a decisive victory that stopped further Japanese expansion and turned the momentum of the Pacific War from Japan to the United States. We discuss the parallels between that time, and our current geo-political climate, specifically Russia and China. Dale analyzes why if we do not learn from history we are doomed to repeat it.

Starting with Veterans Ascend, Robyn set out to not only simplify the veteran hiring process, but also to improve the process of matching veterans with employers. She has since expanded this goal to disabled job-seekers, individuals with criminal records, and now the general public. Her inspiration for the company was born out of her own difficulty to find a job after retiring from her military career despite her impressive skillset. One of the problems with today’s hiring process is the requirement for resumes and direct task experience. Enter the Talents Ascend job match tool changing the face of hiring. This AI-Powered talent sourcing algorithm doesn’t require a resume to find jobs. It translates military and civilian occupations into a skillset that is marketed to the specific needs of employers using soft skills like loyalty, teamwork, and dedication. We discuss the challenges veteran, and military spouses, face when trying to find employment; with 37% of veterans underemployed or underpaid, a military spouse unemployment rate of 24%, and 66% of military families on government assistance because of spouse unemployment.

Ray, and his team, are here to support those members of our community who have tried to address symptoms thru various other more traditional modalities with little to no success. They have been where so many are, and understand the frustration of feeling like you have no other options. Ray describes the healing power of Ayahuasca, and how it changed his life, when all else had failed. He talks about how plant medicine, and Ayahuasca ceremonies in particular, can be very difficult and uncomfortable. Participants will have to step out of their comfort zones and be vulnerable and willing to go “all in” to get the best results. This means sharing traumatic events with others, sharing space with others trying to heal themselves, and holding themselves accountable to making positive changes. Ray explains the importance of surrendering to the process, and understanding the medicine alone will not “cure” you of anything.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedThis week we welcome Tim and Janet Scherer, Gold Star parents and the founders of Team Chris. In 2007, Cpl Christopher Scherer was struck by a single sniper bullet while serving his country in Iraq. Faced with the immense grief of losing their son, Tim and Janet were faced with a choice...to mourn him or celebrate his life. They chose to celebrate his life. In honor of their son, Tim and Janet established the “Cpl Christopher G. Scherer Semper Fi Fund”. This fund supports the “Cpl Christopher G. Scherer Scholarship” and the “Cpl Christopher G. Scherer, Leave No Marine Behind Project”. The “Cpl Christopher G. Scherer Scholarship” awards three scholarships each year to Northport High School Seniors; one member of varsity boy’s lacrosse, one member of varsity girl’s lacrosse, and one member of the graduating senior class are eligible for the awards. The “Leave No Marine Behind Project” supports our troops. Money contributed will buy socks, underwear, and any other supplies requested by Chris’ fellow marines of the 1st Combat Engineer Battalion. The "I Did the Grid" four mile race was created to fund these two important ventures, and to also educate the community on the meaning of Memorial Day. As the race grew, Tim realized that many other organizations were all working to help veterans and military families on Long Island. He identified an opportunity to share resource, and knowledge. The Suffolk County Veteran Run Series was born. Starting with six races, the run series has now grown to include nine races from Memorial Day all the way through November. This year will mark the 15th and final year of the "I Did the Grid" in Northport. Tim and Janet talk about how the past 15 years of giving has helped them grieve, and how, even though the "I Did the Grid" is ending, they plan on continuing to serve the military and veteran community. Join us as we honor the life of an American hero, and the family that celebrates his life everyday.
