#92 - SEER School To Spiritual Warfare: An Apache Pilot’s Stand Against Mandates, Corruption, And The Darkside of Religious Culture w/DJ Searcy

The first time he lifted an Apache off the ground, it felt like piloting a floating bus. The first time he said “no” to what he believed was an unlawful mandate, it felt like stepping into a different kind of combat. In this candid, high-velocity conversation, a National Guard Apache pilot walks us through SEER school realities, gunnery exhilaration, and the boredom of a deployment constrained by a peace deal that tied hands while allies bled. Then the fight comes home: policy-by-whisper, mov...

Three bangs. Wood splintering. A three-year-old whispering, “Dad, someone’s at the door.” That’s the moment everything changes for Alex, a detention officer who thought he understood danger until it crossed his threshold at 10:15 a.m. Two recently released inmates, a pregnant wife, a boxed duty pistol just out of reach, and a living room turned battlefield.

#90 - From Cuffs To Calling: A Cop's Viral Fall Into Grace & Redemption w/Drew Romo

A single night in Scottsdale detonated a young cop’s career and exposed the cracks he’d been papering over with bravado and alcohol. The handcuffs were real, the firing swift, and the shame deep. What followed wasn’t a PR spin—it was a surrender. Drew walked away from the badge, got sober, took a massive pay cut to clean bathrooms and stack chairs at a church, and learned humility one unglamorous task at a time. He didn’t find shortcuts; he found a spine built on obedience. To watch this epis...

#82 - The Ocean Doesn't Negotiate: Inside the Toughest Training Pipeline on Earth w/Chris Rullie

The ocean doesn’t negotiate, and neither does life when your plan breaks. We sit down with Chris, who trained for the SEAL pipeline, finished Hell Week, survived pool comp, and then watched a herniated back end the path at third phase. What follows isn’t a sad ending; it’s a hard pivot. He walks us through the mental frameworks that kept him from quitting—monking out, removing distractions, breaking big tasks into fives, and resetting after every small win—and how those same tools helped him ...

A sow at six feet. Cubs overhead. A guide holding a hard line. The moment cracks open fast—and it never lets up from there.

Because out here, panic kills—and composure keeps you alive. Then we dig into the work no one films. Thousands of pounds of bait dragged through thick Alberta timber. Barrels and beavers hauled deep to pattern sex and size. The l...
