The SEAL Code That Cost Him 30 Years: Dustin "Dusty" Turner Tells All

Dustin “Dusty” Turner is a former Navy SEAL trainee whose case has become one of the most controversial wrongful-conviction stories connected to the military community. Convicted in 1996 for the murder and abduction of Jennifer Evans, Turner maintained that his fellow SEAL trainee, Billy Joe Brown, acted alone — a claim Brown later confessed to under oath.

After serving more than 30 years in prison, Turner was released on parole while continuing to fight for full exoneration. During his incarceration, he became known as a model prisoner, mentor, veterans’ support leader, and advocate for rehabilitation and second chances See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Truth About Veteran Suicide No One Talks About: Magnus Johnson of Mission 22

Magnus Johnson is a former Green Beret, Bronze Star recipient, and co-founder of Mission 22, a national nonprofit dedicated to ending the veteran suicide epidemic. He has spent his life studying what breaks men and what builds them, first on the battlefield, then in the long, often invisible struggle of coming home. After leaving the military, Johnson faced what so many veterans face: the disorienting work of rebuilding identity outside the uniform. That journey, through art, mindfulness, community, and faith, became the foundation for everything he has built. This includes Mission 22's Recovery + Resiliency program, designed to help veterans transform trauma into Post Traumatic Growth.

Behind the Uniform: BizSgt Michael Kracyla on Combat, Leadership, and Reality

Michael Kracyla is a retired U.S. Army Green Beret with more than two decades of experience leading teams in environments where trust, judgment, and execution were critical under real pressure. Following his military service, he recognized a gap in the business world: many highly capable veterans and operators were entering the private sector without the systems, networks, or structured development needed to translate their leadership experience effectively. To address this challenge, Kracyla founded Business Sergeant, a leadership development and executive search platform designed for organizations that cannot afford leadership failure. The platform serves founders and CEOs seeking trusted leaders, while also preparing veterans and operators to step into high-level roles in business. At its core, Business Sergeant is built around community. Leaders are developed, observed, and held to high standards long before they are placed in positions of responsibility. Its executive search work flows directly from this network, allowing the organization to place leaders it knows, trusts, and has helped develop into mission-critical roles.

A brutally honest perspective without window dressing.

Chuck L/ NYC

I prefer straight talk out of everyone. Problem is that men and woman in law enforcement, fire and armed forces seem to be the last of this dying breed. Sensible talk from a meaningful community.

Replace Rad

09/07/2022

Fascinating Podcast

I want to love this podcast, I really do! The topic is amazing and the guests are usually awesome, but Rad is a terrible interviewer. Firstly he doesn’t know what he’s talking about and that’s fairly obvious and even forgivable if this weren’t a military themed podcast, but he also interrupts the guests constantly and seems to feel the need to talk when he’d be better served by actually listening and letting the guest tell their own story. And some of the comments he makes and questions he ask are things I hear from kids who have played too much Call of Duty rather than an experienced host interviewing some of the most experienced Special Operations personnel this country has. Every time he speaks it’s as if I’m hearing fingernails on a chalkboard, hence the poor rating here. If there was a way to mute Rad and just listen to the guest I’d give 3-4 stars, and with a decent host this would be 5 stars all day long.
Man babies with a microphone

TheCompDoctor

This podcast typifies the modern right. These are a bunch of man babies who cannot stand to hear views that aren’t in lockstep with Fox News and conservative talk radio. I tuned in to hear an interview with Bob Baer, and got a lot of Fox News propaganda instead. Next.
