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

    Inside Cartel Conflict and the Reality At The Border | Oscar Hagelsieb | Ep. 435

    Oscar Hagelsieb is a Mexican-American law enforcement professional known for his lengthy career in U.S. federal service focused on border security, organized crime and cartel infiltration. He grew up in a tough neighborhood on the outskirts of El Paso, Texas, the son of undocumented immigrant parents. His upbringing gave him firsthand insight into both sides of the border and influenced his decision to pursue a career in federal law enforcement. Hagelsieb began his federal service as a U.S. Border Patrol Agent, where he worked in frontline enforcement along the U.S.–Mexico border. In that role he encountered families and migrants crossing for economic opportunity as well as experienced cartel-linked smuggling activity.  Building on his effectiveness and his deep understanding of local culture and language, Hagelsieb transitioned into undercover work, infiltrating narcotics and human smuggling networks tied to major Mexican drug cartels. His appearance and background were strategic assets in these operations, allowing him to navigate criminal subcultures and gather actionable intelligence that led to prosecutions.  Over time, he rose through the ranks to become the Assistant Special Agent in Charge (ASAC) of the Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) office in El Paso. In this senior leadership position, he oversaw complex investigations into transnational organized crime, cartel logistics, and cross-border smuggling operations, and managed both domestic and international law enforcement efforts.  His work and perspective were featured in the documentary Kingdom of Shadows, which examines the human realities of the drug war and cartel influence along the border, providing rare insight into the lived experience of agents operating within these conflicts.    Today's Sponsors:  Black Rifle Coffee: https://www.blackriflecoffee.com Brunt:  https://www.bruntworkwear.com For a limited time, our listeners get $10 off at BRUNT when you use code "Clearedhot" at checkout.

    The Lie Of "Stranger Danger" | Full Auto Friday | 2/27.26

    Four questions for today's Q and A that all center on responsibility and perspective. We start with a man in a movie theater watching someone try to enter through an emergency exit, his mind flashing back to the Aurora theater shooting and wondering ever since if he should have acted or done more. From there, a husband blindsided by his wife saying she's leaving and facing the reality of telling his two young sons. The third question comes from a man recovering from major surgery who feels useless and like a burden on his wife while he heals. We close by tackling whether it's smarter to openly acknowledge the risks young men and women face online, or ignore what is statistically unlikely but emotionally unsettling.   Pre-Order my upcoming book Drownproof here:  https://static.macmillan.com/static/smp/drownproof-9781250379610/ New Cleared Hot Merch: https://shop.clearedhotpodcast.com/collections/podcast-gear   Today's Sponsors: Betterwild: Right now, Betterwild is offering our listeners up to 40% off your order at https://www.betterwild.com/CLEAREDHOT   AG1: For a limited time only, go to https://www.drinkAG1.com/CLEAREDHOT to get a FREE AG1 Flavor Sampler and AGZ Sampler to try all the flavors, plus FREE Vitamin D3+K2 and AG1 Welcome Kit with your first AG1 subscription order!

    The Real Generation Kill | Brad Colbert | Ep. 434

    Brad Colbert is a retired Marine Master Sergeant with 30 years of military and government service. He served with 1st Reconnaissance Battalion in Afghanistan in 2001 and during the 2003 invasion of Iraq, where he led Marines in combat and was later depicted in Generation Kill. After retiring from active duty, he continued working in support of the Intelligence Community before shifting his focus to leadership, resilience, and veteran advocacy through The Carry On Podcast and the Recon Foundation. We talked about combat, responsibility, and what happens when the uniform comes off. A major part of this conversation was veteran mental health and the reality that too many men are still fighting alone. Brad is working to change that. This episode is about ownership, connection, and making sure the people who served don't suffer in silence.

    Built to Kill: Writing the Gray Man | Mark Greaney | Ep. 433

    Mark Greaney is one of the most successful thriller authors working today — a #1 New York Times bestselling writer who built an entire spy fiction universe with his Gray Man series and helped carry forward Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan legacy. His novels have become global hits, translated into dozens of languages, and turned into major motion pictures on Netflix starring high-profile talent. We dive deep into what separates hobbyists from career storytellers, why meticulous research matters, and how Greaney approaches pacing, character, and realism in a crowded genre. In this episode, Greaney walks us through his journey from early drafts to international bestseller, the hustle behind sustaining a long-running series, and how real-world preparation — from travel to tactical training — feeds the kind of action readers devour but seldom see the work behind.

    The Cost of "No Quit" | Full Auto Friday | 2/13/2026

    This week's Q&A tackles a mindset I respect—but one that can turn on you if you're not careful. Two listeners ask different versions of the same question: can a "no quit" attitude become destructive? One is staying in a marriage he knows is unhealthy because he fears being labeled a quitter. The other can grind himself into the ground at work but doesn't know how to recognize the point of diminishing returns. The third question comes from a man caught in an emotional affair, wrestling with guilt and the weight of repeating the same mistake that fractured his own family.

    When War is The Easy Part | Mike Glover | Ep. 432

    After two years of legal battles and business upheaval, Mike Glover returns to the podcast with a clarity and perspective few men ever earn. Mike spent nearly two decades as a U.S. Army Green Beret and Special Forces sergeant major, deploying to combat theaters, leading reconnaissance, sniper, and operations elements, and later serving as a contractor for the CIA in high-risk security environments. When he hung up the uniform he founded Fieldcraft Survival, turning elite skills into real-world survival training and gear for civilians, law enforcement, and government clients — shaping an entire industry in the process. In this conversation, we talk about what the last two years have actually been like — the legal pressure, the business fallout, and what it's like to navigate both in public. Mike lays out where things stand now, what he's learned, and how adversity changes your perspective when it's no longer theoretical. We also get into what he's building next, the direction he's taking in business, and what he hopes the future will hold.

    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.
