Jason Sweet's darkest days seem to be behind him now, but last we heard he still had a ways to go. In his most dangerous engagement yet, Jason digs into Mission #0427 Alpha and his closest call in pararescue before stumbling into playing Division 1 Football at the University of Arizona (yes, really) and getting his start in training the next generation with SOCOM Athlete, an elite training group for aspiring SEALS and BUD/S participants. ----------Chapters:00:00 - Intro01:09 - Mission #0427 Alpha16:17 - Establishing Contact 32:16- And I'm Free Falling42:41 - Coming Home was Weird, Man50:17 - Chasing the Football58:39 - Playing Div 1 at University of Arizona01:07:53 - A Blown-Out ACL01:17:08 - The Science of Sport01:24:11 - SOCOM Athlete01:31:06 - Hell Day01:36:56 - Is PJ Training Harder than BUD/S?----------Support Jason Sweet - SOCOM Athlete: https://www.socomathlete.com/SEND ME Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/0fQDggSL1oCS22ZLa0mo9eInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/doctorsweet51/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/SOCOMAthleteLinkedIn: https://tinyurl.com/5n6n5ebj----------Sponsors: MasterworksJust go to https://www.masterworks.art/mikedrop to skip the waitlistAgain that’s https://www.masterworks.art/mikedrop“Net Returns” refers to the annualized internal rate of return net of all fees and costs, calculated from the offering closing date to the sale date.

Remi Adeleke has a lot on his plate. Between writing, directing, acting, producing, and even authoring his new book 'Chameleon: A Black Box Thriller', it's safe to say he's busier than ever, and that's in an industry that's not always easy to work in - film and television. He's also been on the show before - avid listeners might remember his appearance back on Episode 32 to talk about his military career as a SEAL, or when he came back again in Episode 59 to catch up and talk current events. So for his third appearance on Mike Drop - a first for any returning guest of the show - what exactly does he have to talk about?

BORTAC: Border Patrol Tactical Unit. An elite arm of the United States Border Patrol, BORTAC works in conjunction with other law enforcement departments to stop criminals, catch smugglers, and protect the U.S. from dangers at home and away. Just take it from Erin 'Jammer' Switzer - he's been a part of BORTAC for years. And the border isn't the only place he's smashing heads - he's also appeared in Call of Duty and Amazon's 'The Terminal List' too. But what exactly does BORTAC do? How do they operate? And what are the boundaries of their jurisdiction, if they have any at all?

BORTAC Spec Ops Marine Erin 'Jammer' Switzer - Part Two | Mike Ritland Podcast Episode 146

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.

Christian Holloway

MARSOC - an elite component command of the United States Special Operations Command that comprises the Marine Corps' contribution to SOCOM. Just take it from Christian - he was one of the first Marines admitted into the Corps' elite program. 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. ----------Chapters:00:00 - Intro02:06 - IED Developments09:01 - Finding MARSOC19:32 - The Horn of Africa33:33 - The Service Limitations Rule39:09 - ...Underage Drinking?43:54- Instructing at SERE School59:16 - The Three Most Important Survival Tips01:06:53 - A Texas State Trooper on Border Patrol01:19:18 - Human Trafficking01:26:55 - Highway Work01:34:41 - Back at Academy01:44:38 - A High-Speed Getaway in Austin01:52:19 - Souped-Up Patrol Cars01:57:00 - Police Office Politics02:00:02 - Finance, Finance, Finance----------Support Christian Holloway - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chris.holloway_fiYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCs1jwxG_W_NAVVX8KlZ-MigLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christian-holloway1----------Sponsors: 1st Phorm https://www.1stphorm.com/mikedrop | Free shipping on all orders over $75 when you use the link!----------BioProteinUse code MIKEDROP to save $30 on your first order at https://www.bioproteintech.com----------Black BuffaloGo to blackbuffalo.com/discount/MIKEDROP and use promo code Mike Drop at checkout for 15% off your first order!Black Buffalo products are intended for adults aged 21 and older who are consumers of nicotine or tobacco.----------Fueled by TeamDog | www.mikeritlandco.com | @Teamdog.petALL THINGS MIKE RITLAND:SHOP for Fueled By Team Dog Performance Dog Food, Treats, Apparel, Accessories, and Protection dogs - MikeRitlandCo.com - https://www.MikeRitlandCo.com Team Dog Online dog training - TeamDog.pet - https://www.TeamDog.petThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5531509/advertisement

MARSOC SERE Instructor Christian Holloway - Part Two | Mike Ritland Podcast Episode 143

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. ----------Chapters:00:00 - Intro02:05 - Why Are We Here?10:08 - David Goggins Can't Hurt Me17:03 - I Wanted to Fly Planes23:33 - In Country, Out of Options37:27 - The Craziest Gunfight I Got Into47:52 - Everybody's Got a Plan Until First Contact01:02:45 - They Weren't Pulling Pins01:14:08 - Searching Bodies for Intel01:22:47 - Post-Deployment Leave01:28:32 - Second Deployment01:47:49 - IED Developments----------Support Christian Holloway - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chris.holloway_fiYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCs1jwxG_W_NAVVX8KlZ-MigLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christian-holloway1----------Sponsors: MUD/WTRGo to https://www.mudwtr.com/mike to support the show and use code MIKEMUD for 15% off----------1st Phorm https://www.1stphorm.com/mikedrop | Free shipping on all orders over $75 when you use the link!----------BioProteinUse code MIKEDROP to save $30 on your first order at https://www.bioproteintech.com----------Fueled by TeamDog | www.mikeritlandco.com | @Teamdog.petALL THINGS MIKE RITLAND:SHOP for Fueled By Team Dog Performance Dog Food, Treats, Apparel, Accessories, and Protection dogs - MikeRitlandCo.com - https://www.MikeRitlandCo.com Team Dog Online dog training - TeamDog.pet - https://www.TeamDog.petThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5531509/advertisement

MARSOC SERE Instructor Christian Holloway - Part One | Mike Ritland Podcast Episode 142

Greg Anderson

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. ----------Chapters:00:00 - Intro01:10 - A Positive Pregnancy Test06:10 - Hired by the U.S. Marshalls13:01 - Smarter Criminals19:58 - That Time We Seized a Luxury Yacht31:46 - There For My Dad38:32 - Starting A Jiu Jitsu Gym48:02 - A Patrol Cop in Seattle01:00:29 - Going Viral01:09:26 - Putting GoFundMe Into the Gym01:27:57 - Why Cops Don't Train01:42:47 - What's Next?01:54:20 - Humbled On The Mat----------Support Greg Anderson: Linktree - https://linktr.ee/Granderson33Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/granderson33Podcast - Endless Endeavor with Greg Anderson - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/endless-endeavor-with-greg-anderson/id1520461765----------Sponsors: MUD/WTRGo to https://www.mudwtr.com/mikedrop to support the show and use code MIKEDROP for 15% off----------ManscapedGet 20% off + free shipping with the code MikeDrop at https://www.manscaped.com.

Ret. Army Ranger Police Officer Greg Anderson - Part Two | Mike Ritland Podcast Episode 141

'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.----------Chapters:00:00 - Intro02:10 - Actually, We HAVE Met Before10:17 - A Most Humbling Jiu Jitsu Story19:01 - Ten Pages A Day34:02 - Morning Chaos39:55 - Growing Up On the Water50:38 - Getting Into Ranger Regiment59:09 - Going to Afghanistan01:08:34 - Joining Triple Canopy01:20:09 - Friendly Fire01:25:49 - The August 10th Ambush----------Support Greg Anderson:Linktree - https://linktr.ee/Granderson33Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/granderson33Podcast - Endless Endeavor with Greg Anderson - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/endless-endeavor-with-greg-anderson/id1520461765----------Sponsors:BUBS NaturalsThe BUBS namesake derives from Glen ‘BUB’ Doherty, who was heroically killed in Benghazi, Libya in 2012.

'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. ---------- Chapters: 00:00 - Intro 02:10 - Actually, We HAVE Met Before 10:17 - A Most Humbling Jiu Jitsu Story 19:01 - Ten Pages A Day 34:02 - Morning Chaos 39:55 - Growing Up On the Water 50:38 - Getting Into Ranger Regiment 59:09 - Going to Afghanistan 01:08:34 - Joining Triple Canopy 01:20:09 - Friendly Fire 01:25:49 - The August 10th Ambush ---------- Support Greg Anderson: Linktree - <a href="https://linktr.ee/Granderson33" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://linktr.ee/Granderson33</a> Instagram - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/granderson33" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/granderson33</a> Podcast - Endless Endeavor with Greg Anderson - <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/endless-endeavor-with-greg-anderson/id1520461765" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/endless-endeavor-with-greg-anderson/id1520461765</a> ---------- Sponsors: BUBS Naturals The BUBS namesake derives from Glen ‘BUB’ Doherty, who was heroically killed in Benghazi, Libya in 2012.

Ret. Army Ranger Police Officer Greg Anderson - Part One | Mike Ritland Podcast Episode 140

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.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5531509/advertisement

Zach Garner

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.

Ret. Green Beret Zach Garner - Part 2 | Mike Ritland Podcast Episode 139

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. ----------Chapters:00:00 - Intro02:47 - Dad Was a Styx Fan09:14 - Morning Routine 13:42 - Born in Illinois20:16 - Ground Rules26:55 - Becoming a Forward Observer36:05 - Multiple Launch Rocket System41:35 - Overnight House Clears53:20 - Then I Got Stabbed at a Kenny Chesney Concert01:01:09 - A Single Dude in Germany01:14:51 - Special Forces01:20:48 - Firefight in the Valley01:28:32 - Everybody Loves an A-1001:38:41 - The First Seizure----------Support Zach Garner: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/zack_next_doorYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@zacharygarnerLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/zachary-garner-253605170----------Sponsors: StrikemanRight now, get 25% OFF by using the code RITLAND when you go to TRAINWITHSTRIKEMAN.COM.----------1st Phorm1stphorm.com/mikedrop Free shipping on all orders over $75 when you use the link. ----------BioPro+use code: mikedrop to save $30 on your first order----------Fueled by TeamDog | www.mikeritlandco.com | @Teamdog.petALL THINGS MIKE RITLAND:SHOP for Fueled By Team Dog Performance Dog Food, Treats, Apparel, Accessories, and Protection dogs - MikeRitlandCo.com - https://www.MikeRitlandCo.com Team Dog Online dog training - TeamDog.pet - https://www.TeamDog.petThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5531509/advertisement

Ret. Green Beret Zach Garner - Part 1 | Mike Ritland Podcast Episode 138

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.

Heroes & Horses Ret. Navy SEAL Micah Fink - Part 2 | Mike Ritland Podcast Episode 137

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 &amp; 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?

Heroes & Horses Ret. Navy SEAL Micah Fink - Part 1 | Mike Ritland Podcast Episode 136

Scott Mann

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.' ----------Chapters:00:00 - Intro01:17 - Running the Ops Center17:29 - Navigating Leadership Waters23:13 - Challenging Calls40:56 - Regretful Ops46:07 - Retiring on My Terms58:16 - Gender, Vaccines, &amp; Social Engineering in the Military01:02:50 - Different Ways in Ukraine01:11:26 - Veteran Entrepreneurs01:15:21 - Last Out: Elegy of a Green Beret01:19:01 - Operation Pineapple Express----------Support Scott Mann: Website - https://scottmann.comPlay - Last Out: Elegy of a Green Beret - https://lastoutplay.comBook - Operation Pineapple Express - https://operationpineappleexpress.comPodcast - The Rooftop Podcast - https://spoti.fi/3FIz3vsYouTube - https://bit.ly/3lsoR3vInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/scottmannauthorFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ScottMannAuthor----------Sponsors: BUBS Naturals The BUBS namesake derives from Glen ‘BUB’ Doherty, who was heroically killed in Benghazi, Libya in 2012.

Mountaineer Bryan Ray

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. ----------Chapters:00:00 - A RON Site Tragedy08:00 - Learning to Cope24:00 - Countertaliban28:00 - Back to Afghanistan35:00 - Serving Under Different Presidential Administrations43:00 - A Good Ol' Fashioned Prison Raid52:00 - Missile Rick1:01:00 - Coursework at the Racket Club1:04:00 - Getting Out01:14:00 - GWOT Guys Are Gonna Run the World01:17:00 - HVMN &amp; Ketone-IQ01:32:00 - What's the Worst that Could Happen? ----------Support Bryan Ray:Website - HVMN &amp; Ketone-IQ - https://hvmn.com/pages/ketoneInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/b.ray_dol----------Sponsors:BUBS NaturalsThe BUBS namesake derives from Glen ‘BUB’ Doherty, who was heroically killed in Benghazi, Libya in 2012.

Special Forces Mountaineer Bryan Ray - Part 2 | Mike Ritland Podcast Episode 132

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.

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.

Special Forces Mountaineer Bryan Ray - Part 1 | Mike Ritland Podcast Episode 131

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. ----------Chapters:00:00 - Intro02:30 - The Biggest Misconception About Cattle Ranching10:30 - Born and Raised in Ten Sleep, Wyoming20:00 - Regenerative Farming and 60 Million Bison30:30 - A Typical Day on Carter Ranch38:00 - Carbon from Cardboard47:00 - Tilling Soil the Natural Way52:30 - Marketing Deception Inside the Food Industry55:00 - Reviewing The USDA01:06:30 - All About Phytonutrients01:11:00 - Managing Parasites01:17:30 - Dangerous Implications of a Centralized Food Industry01:30:00 - The Agriculture Debt Crisis01:35:00 - The Carter Country Difference01:45:30 - How to Get Carter Ranch Delivered To You01:54:30 - Carter Country Meats----------Support RC Carter: Website - https://cartercountrymeats.comBig Horn Box Meat Delivery Subscription - https://cartercountrymeats.com/products/big-horn-boxes-subscriptionsInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/cartercountrymeatsYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@cartercountrymeats582----------Sponsors: MasterworksJust go to https://www.masterworks.art/mikedrop to skip the waitlist“Net Returns” refers to the annualized internal rate of return net of all fees and costs, calculated from the offering closing date to the sale date.

Third-Generation Cattle Rancher RC Carter | Mike Ritland Podcast Episode 130

Love Mike and love the podcast. It’s a staple for me each week. Double bonus - his Iowa roots!

Gray Cast

If Mike were to introduce me I could die happy. Great interviewer

😎

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.

Clint Emerson

Shane Hiatt

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.

Episode 50: Clint Emerson and Shane Hiatt

Iris Gardner

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.Sponsored by @originlabs @originusaThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5531509/advertisement

Episode 47: Jason and Iris Gardner - Back to the Basics

Nick Koumalatsos

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.Sponsored by @originlabs @originusaThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5531509/advertisement

Episode 45: Nick Koumalatsos - Excommunicated Warrior

Eddie Gallagher

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.
