It is safe to say that I have wandered a bit. I served in the military, flew some jets, jumped out of most, climbed mountains (I jumped off of them too), taught fitness, owned a gym, and have spent the last few years speaking to organizations and leaders. It has been a journey, and in all honesty, I have no idea where it is going. I seek the things that make me uncomfortable. I move towards things that scare me. I think you should too

    Tough or Stupid? | Full Auto Friday Q&A | 2/6/2026

    This week's Full Auto Friday is a return to listener questions and some uncomfortable but necessary conversations. We talk about the fine line between being tough and being stupid, how to deal with shame and guilt after a DUI, what it actually looks like to keep moving forward when you can't see any progress, and how to reconcile regret over military service in today's political climate. This isn't about excuses, self-pity, or rewriting the past—it's about ownership, perspective, and doing the next right thing even when motivation is gone and the path forward isn't clear.   Today's Sponsors: Firecracker Farm: https://www.firecracker.farm use code CLEAREDHOT for 10% off your first order.

    Violence Is Escalating | Caleb Gilbert | Ep. 431

    Violence against public figures, politicians, and high-profile individuals is no longer rare or isolated — it's increasing, accelerating, and becoming more unpredictable. Threat reporting, attempted attacks, and successful assaults on protectees have risen sharply over the last several years, driven by political polarization, online radicalization, and the ease with which individuals can move from grievance to action. From lawmakers and candidates to commentators and executives, the modern threat environment is broader, faster, and far less controllable than most people understand. In this episode, I sit down with Caleb Gilbert, founder of White Glove Protection Group, to break down the reality of personal protection — including where it works, where it fails, and why it's often misunderstood. We take a hard look at the mechanics of real-world security failures, including a detailed discussion of the protection dynamics surrounding the Charlie Kirk attack site, and why even professional protective details can be overwhelmed. We also cover what individuals can realistically do to improve their own personal security in an increasingly hostile environment — without illusions, guarantees, or false confidence.

    Brand Warfare, Bad Movies, and the Wet Boys | Jarred Taylor | Ep. 430

    Jarred Taylor from Black Rifle Coffee is the second guest to sit down in the new studio, and we kicked this one off by talking about branding—what it actually takes to build something real, why most brands fail, and how hard it is to grow without losing the core of what made it work in the first place. From there, things went where they usually do. We broke down movies and TV through a tactical lens, talked about what Hollywood consistently gets wrong, and then spent some time on the "Wet Boys"—Jarred's online aviation squadron that flies simulated demos, builds digital airshows, and uses their downtime to antagonize the Air Force Thunderbirds on social media.

    The Raid, The Record, and The Lawsuit | Rob O'Neill | EP 429

    Rob O'Neill is a retired Navy SEAL with more than 400 combat missions, deployments with SEAL Team Two and SEAL Team Six, and participation in some of the most high-profile special operations of the last two decades. He served multiple tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and has spent years navigating the complicated transition from service to public life. In this conversation, Rob joins me for an unfiltered, long-form discussion about his career, the brotherhood of the teams, and the personal cost that comes with telling parts of his story publicly. We talk at length about Operation Neptune Spear, the mission to kill Osama bin Laden, and Rob's perspective on how the official debrief differs from his lived experience. Rob explains why he believes portions of the record are incomplete, discusses actions taken by members of the assault force after bin Laden was already dead, and why those details matter to him years later. These are Rob's firsthand accounts and interpretations, shared in full context and without editing for sound bites. We also dig into Rob's ongoing $25 million defamation lawsuit, how it came about, and what it's like to defend your name after a lifetime spent operating in silence. This isn't a hit piece or a hero narrative—it's a three-hour conversation about memory, loyalty, accountability, and what happens when the story doesn't match the mission.

    How Veterans Rebuild Purpose After Service | Montana Vet Program | EP 428

    In this episode, I sit down with Luke Urick, the Executive Director, and Bryon Gustafson, the Deputy Director of the Montana Veterans Project, a Great Falls–based nonprofit that helps veterans rediscover purpose, camaraderie, and resilience through veteran-led therapeutic adventure trips in the Montana backcountry. We explore how challenging wilderness experiences can help veterans reconnect with themselves, their fellow warriors, and the mission that doesn't simply end when military service does. We dig into why traditional approaches sometimes fall short, and how shared physical challenge, communication, and hard work in nature can catalyze healing in ways that matter long after the trip ends. This is a conversation about more than PTSD or buzzwords — it's about purpose, belonging, and veterans building new life chapters with intention and grit.

    Why Intimacy Breaks Down in Modern Relationships | Caitlin V | Ep. 427

    In this episode, I sit down with Caitlin V, a sex educator and author whose work focuses on intimacy, communication, and long-term relationship dynamics. Caitlin has spent years helping individuals and couples better understand desire, connection, and the often-unspoken issues that quietly erode relationships over time. We discussed how communication breaks down, why people struggle to ask for what they want, and how unspoken expectations erode connection over time. We also talk about common misconceptions around sex, the real value of intimacy in long-term relationships, and what actually helps couples reconnect—not in theory, but in practice. This conversation isn't about shock value or trends; it's about understanding ourselves better, communicating more clearly, and building relationships that don't slowly decay in silence.

    Law vs Chaos | Full Auto Friday | 1.16.26

    In this episode I answer two listener-submitted questions that couldn't be more different. The first is a deep dive into immigration enforcement and the recent ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis. I break down what authorities ICE agents actually have (and don't have), what likely happened tactically, and why this issue continues to expose just how divided the country is. No hot takes—just context, law, and reality as I see it. The second question shifts gears to mindset and self-confidence heading into a military selection process. We talk about preparation beyond physical training, how confidence is built (not imagined), and how to show up ready when it actually counts. As always, these are my perspectives based on experience—not hype, not shortcuts. Enjoy!
