The Uncommon Line

Welcome to the first episode of the new year. We wanted to get these to you sooner but to be honest we didn't want you to forget to listen and watch during the holidays. With that being said, we start it off right, with former Green Beret, TV Star (The Selection) and practitioner of all things combat and combative, Mr. Donnie Bowen of Bowen Combative Arts Academy. From knife fighting to ground fighting he does it. When I first saw Donnie walk into Leatherwood Distillery for his recording, I instantly had the worse feeling in my bones and muscles. Why? Well Donnie is that guy that when you first started out and you believed the hype around Boyd Belts and then learned that the smaller guy in the gym could chew you up and down the mat and spit you up and down the mat. Pretty soon you had your belt around your neck and woven between your toes and you just slapped hands. I say all this to say we had a truly great time talking with Donnie. No, we didn't spend a ton of time on his career in the military but more time as a career father and what martial arts means to raising kids and discipline (I feel sorry for the kids that tried to bully his kids in school) He truly is what we need in America today when it comes to raising youth. And yes, sometimes that is an old fashion ass whooping on the mats. Sometimes it's okay to hit something, an idea so many Americans have never experienced. So pumped to bring this to you. Hope you all enjoy. Thank you to our Cost Host and PREMIER SPONSOR of this episode Andy Lang of Leatherwood Distillery. Please go support Donnie not only his gym and pages but more importantly his nonprofit.

Join us as we recorded live from Leatherwood Distillery in PleasantView, Tennessee. We set down with former Green Beret and Distillery Owner Andy Lang and his former Afghanistan Interpreter Masoud for an incredible episode. From the age of 13, providing for his seven brothers and sisters, working countless hours in a bakery, Masoud knew he was meant for something great. When one day while riding his bike, a group of barrel chested, long beard freedom fighters pulled up to his village got out of their vehicle and began giving him orders to leave. Being who he was he was in awe of these strange men. Shortly thereafter he would watch these men drop fire on evil souls in a nearby village killing a local terrorist group. From then on, he set out on a goal to serve his country in a way that would serve a purpose so much greater than just that. I am telling you this guy needs a movie or a book or all of the above. Thank you again to Leatherwood for the countless drinks.And of course thank you to all of our sponsors, Tachuntfish, Triarc Systems and Denney Law for make this trip possible.

First off thank you to the sponsors of this episode, Denney Law Group, Triarc Systems and Tachuntfish. Links to all businesses can be found below. And of course a big Thank you to Texas Gun Experience for having us out. We wish the shooting of Officers was an uncommon event but in a common world of evil that is just not the case. In episode 40 we sit down with Operation Enduring Warrior Honoree Alex Douglass. A Pennsylvania State Trooper who ambushed by a sniper lying in wait. Ultimately that grave night Douglass survived while his partner Cpl Dickson II was killed by the same sniper.  And yes the shooting of officers is not uncommon but what is, is the outlook these brave warriors face in the after math of their own certain death. Aside from being shot he was later faced with the amputation due to damage by the 308 caliber round. So once again he was faced with a decision and an obstacle to overcome. And to say he has overcome it leaps in bounds is an understatement. Don't forget to tune into our video channel on Youtube. Thank you to our sponsors again:www.denneylawgroup.comwww.triarcsystems.comwww.tachuntfish.com

When you listen to Episode 30- Destiny Rescue, I want you to imagine that the victims Tom talks about is your two month old baby boy or your 14 year old daughter. Now what would you do? Would you go to the ends of the earth to save your child? That's exactly what Destiny Rescue does. This episode is an eye opener, a tearjerker and a reminder to look beyond your everyday issues because many have it much worse. There are so many children and families suffering from sex trafficking all over the world, and they are praying for a hero to bring the light into the darkness; someone to save them. Sex trafficking is a global issue and we need to stop sweeping it under the rug, we can't be scared of it, we need to start talking a stand and fighting. There are millions of children and babies being held captive all over the world and being forced to do the unthinkable. In this episode Tom tells many incredible rescue stories and why Destiny Rescue was started. They truly are doing God's work. They are giving these children a chance to have a real purpose and Destiny.

I really do not know what to say and what this episode means to us. Sitting down with Darren and Chris from Triarc Systems was truly and honor. Darren spent over 26 years in law enforcement and served in nearly every unit his agency had to offer, from narcotics to swat to task force positions. His story was truly that of remarkable. After being shot during a warrant service he died three times on the operating table. We spoke very candidly on the word investment and what that word means to law enforcement and civilians. We wanted you to ask yourself what the word invest means to you. Darren it was an honor to sit with you my friend. Truly inspirational to see how your own experiences have helped shape the firearms industry. Thank you to our sponsors for this episode Triac Systems and Triple C Range.

This week we are back down at Triarc Systems for another episode of Pushing the Line. This weeks series episode is with Brittany Mae, owner and lead instructor of Point Firearm Instruction (link to website below). We wanted to introduce our listeners to Brittany. We have had a chance to began and build a relationship with this awesome warrior, mother, business owner, instructor and the list goes on. Brittany has a perspective that not many people have faced when facing violence. But what's amazing about her is the fact  this one moment did not define who she is. There is so much more to this amazing industry leader. Mark our words, she is making waves with her spirit and leadership within a growing firearms industry. To summarize our experience with Brittany it comes in two words "Bad Ass". We promise this will not be the last time she is on the show. But we wanted you all to hear and learn from this uncommon warrior. Point Firearms Instructionhttp://pointfirearmsinstruction.comThank you to this weeks show sponsors, Triarc Systems and Triple C Range.

Day 2 from the Tactical Games was an amazing experience. It was a day filled with heart wrenching stories, wisdom, and truth.  We started the day off talking with one of our sponsors, the owner and creator of Rx Plus Plates, David. David tells us how he came up with and made this amazing life changing workout plate. Followed by a power couple unlike any other,  and uncommon beyond belief, Anthony and Alison Dissorro. Anthony being a Tactical Games OG and both being full time police officer. You don't want to miss this fun and heartfelt conversation about life as a married police couple and what it's like fighting to stay uncommon in a common world. Next, we sat down with Jeremy and Juan of Operation Enduring Warrior. Words can not express what it was like to sit across from warriors like this. This organization is so unique in what it is doing for the warrior community. We were speechless and moved to tears listening to them tell their stories of being wounded on the job and what they are doing to continue to push forward and to help others in the processes. And lastly, the Hurricane herself, Ashley Cockrell. Not just a Dean of a school, but the kind of Dean you would not want to mess with.

Next, the one and only, Jake Mizell, from Triple C Range, who was the weekend's Match Director. And of course after she made buttons for the podcast, we had to sit and talk with TG competitor, Sabine, and her mother to get a their view of the weekend. Then we spoke to the owner of an up and coming company, Rescue Site, who is attempting to summit every peak in the USA with his wife. Next, If you're a competitor you need to be following, Tes - Shoot for Gold, a professional competitive shooter and 5x TG winner. She tells us what it is like being a competitive shooter for most of her life and how she got into the Tactical Games. Last but not least, we spoke to TG athlete, Dirk the Dentist.

We headed back down to Triarc Systems to officially kick off the “Pushing the Line” series with an incredible and honest conversation with two board members of TTPOA. Brandon and Derrick shed light on the needs and necessitates of police officers in today's trying times. From the real dangers of defunding the police, to how important funding training is, to what it takes to lead when it feels like the world is against you. This was a great discussion with several different points of view on our current climate within policing and in our nation. This is not just a topic for law enforcement, it's a discussion for our nation and one many people need to hear right now. How can we push the line to be more uncommon? How can we always push forward in our lives? Two important questions facing law enforcement and our communities right now, and a simple answer is - TRAIN HARD. TTPOA – Texas Tactical Police Officer Association is a nonprofit organization that offers training for law enforcement agencies not only in Texas but all over the US and even in other countries. TTPOA is changing the culture one training iteration at a time. Make sure and go and check out www.ttpoa.org and www.triarcsystems.com for the latest training and firearms. '

Have you ever wondered what the mindset of others before self could obtain? Well Average Joes Range Day is an example of individuals who came together for the betterment of others. We had the opportunity to spend the day hanging at Triple C Range for Average Joes Range Day. To say we were blown away with this group of individuals is such an understatement. We always say Uncommon, but what was special about this day was the common goal of individuals coming together through community. One person, one round at a time, relationships were built. How can we change the culture? How can we become better? How do we reach the unknown? Well the answer is events such as Average Joes Range Day. It wasn't about race, gender, status, or where you came from, it was about coming together to become better.If you listened to episode 19 with Jimmy Rodriguez you would hear the sincerity of the OG's and in the creation of this event. If only more people took time out of their day to create positive influences through relationships. You want to change the world, you start with one average person at a time. Thank you to everyone for allowing us to come out and highlight this movement. And yes this is a movement, a movement uncommon in and of itself. Thank you to our sponsors for this episode, Triple C Range and Triarc Systems.

Today we have an awesome episode drop for you! With Average Joes coming up at Triple C Range we thought it was more than fitting to sit down and talk to the Average OG himself, Jimmy Rodriguez. We traveled back down to TRIARC Systems and sat down with Jimmy and TRIARC Systems very own, Valerie. Jimmy has an awesome story and testimony on how he got started within the industry. From leading a church as a pastor, to working in a gun shop, to becoming and incredible photographer and videographer.We had the opportunity to take a deep dive into what Average Joes is and what it means to the firearms industry. The goal is improving the industry one average joe at a time. We also spoke about issues we see within the industry and how TRIARC and events like Average Joes are changing the culture for good. We hope you tune in, especially if you are attending Average Joes, or are a new gun owner.Thank you to Triple C Range and TRIARC for supporting this episode!Stay Safe Stay Switched on and Stay UncommonMusic heard on today's episode is brought to you by Nothing More.

In wrapping up our leadership month, we had the opportunity to speak with Retired Navy SEAL Lt. Jason Redman. It was such and honor to have a guest of his caliber on the show. If you haven't read his New York Times Bestselling book, "The Trident" and his latest book "Overcome", we highly encourage you to take the time. Both books expand on what we covered in this episode. This hour long interview, we couldn't begin to cover all that this man is and has done. Below is just a summary of what Jason has done over the years."Jason spent his first two years in the Navy working as an Intelligence Specialist. During Boot Camp he tried out and was accepted for Basic Underwater Demolition SEAL training and reported to BUDS in January 1995. He graduated with BUDS class 202 in December 1995. Jason spent ten years as an enlisted Navy SEAL and ten years as a SEAL officer leading SEAL teams in combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. From failure as a young leader and almost being kicked out of the SEAL Teams, to redemption and leading teams in intense combat operations in Iraq, to being shot 8 times including a round to the face, Jason has lived the OVERCOME MINDSET he teaches. Today, Jason has expanded his programs with his focus on helping individuals, companies and team to “GET OFF THE X”™ from Life Ambushes." (www.jasonredman.com)We are so excited to share this episode with our listeners.

In episode 17 Relentless Leadership Part 1, we traveled back down to Relentless Defender HQ in Houston, Texas to speak with Owner and CEO, Aaron Slater, on leadership. In the world we live in we are seeing leadership fail all across our country. For so long we have thought as leadership as the people above us. Slater has an awesome take on how leadership starts from the front line rather than the upper echelon. Imagine a generation of selfless leaders that took it upon themselves to lead from every assignment instead of waiting to lead once rank was applied. Now more than ever we need this message in our county. This was such an interesting episode we had to make it a two-part series. We will be traveling back down there soon to finish this awesome conversation on leadership.   For more information on Relentless Defender, check out their website at https://relentlessdefender.com   The music in today's episode is brought to you by Nothing More.

Last week we headed back down to Triarc Systems in Mansfield, TX where we had the opportunity to speak with not only Triarc's own Chris Reeves, but also Triarc's Training Director, Jonas Polson and owner of Tactical Options. Jonas brought an incredible story of service and selflessness to the episode. He served in the U.S. Army both in the Rangers and the elite Green Berets. The perspective of these two warriors was captured perfectly. We ran the gamut in this episode, from Jonas's first mission on Roberts Ridge as a 19-year-old Army Ranger to raising children in today's world. We were humbled by this opportunity and can't wait for you to listen to this incredible episode.  Although both Chris and Jonas are no longer in the military their service to others has not stopped. With both of them being leaders in the firearm industry, we believe this episode brings the much-needed human aspect to an industry filled with superficial advertisement and "innovative" fakeness. We can assure you Jonas, Chris and both of their brands (Triarc Systems and Tactical Options) are the farthest thing from superficial or fake. These are two real guys with very real companies, that stand apart as uncommon in an industry filled with “innovative" commonness.  Episode 16 with Jonas Polson and Triarc Systems available on all podcast platforms.The music you heard on today's episode was Nothing More.

This episode is dedicated to the Green Beret Foundation and Special Forces Foundation. We knew this was important to Andy, so it made it important to us. Go check out both pages and go donate to these uncommon warriors and their families. This past week we traveled to Tennessee. When looking for a location to host the recording of country music artist Ryan Weaver (Episode 13), we called around to several places and kept getting turned down. We ended up on the phone with Andy Lang of Leatherwood Distillery. In good fashion it turned out Andy and Ryan knew each other. I started looking up the distillery and its story and found out that Andy deserved his own podcast episode. And so Episode 14 was born. A U.S. Army Green Beret who served his country for 26 years, 16 years of which were served in the elite special forces unit. When you walk into this awesome distillery it is covered in memorabilia commemorating those that serve and those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice. Sitting at the bar you can't help but think of all the incredible stories each piece hanging on the wall could tell. Andy is a warrior's warrior and this is easily felt upon meeting him and his staff. Then the booze started to flow and let me tell you, his stuff is freaking awesome. Trust us, between the two day's of hanging out at the distillery, we tried it all, from the bourbon, rye to his awesome tequila. Andy has built his business with the warrior mindset and has instilled this into every aspect of his brand. From his entire distillery burning down, only a short few months ago, to rebuilding it with the help of the veteran community, Andy is staying true to his warrior way. It was an honor to sit and drink with such and uncommon warrior. I encourage you all to check out the Leatherwood Distillery, a distillery built by warriors for warriors.I encourage all of you to listen to this awesome episode and hear how a Green Beret who once made booze from skittles, bread and an MRE is making incredible whiskey to share with his community. Everything this man does is with the purpose of supporting those around him and the veteran community. Tune into Episode 14 with Andy Lang of Leatherwood Distillery. To all of his staff and the awesome people we met. Thank you for opening your doors and having drinks with us. We learned so much from everyone and can't wait to come back soon.All music in today's episode was brought to you by Nothing More. The song you listened to was "Who We Are".

On Episode 13 with Ryan Weaver we traveled to Pleasant View, Tennessee to the Leatherwood Distillery owned and operated by a Andy Lang a former Green Beret. While drinking some incredible Leatherwood bourbon and tequila, we spoke to Ryan Weaver and ran the gamut of emotions. Ryan has one hell of a story that everyone needs to hear right now.

When we started this podcast, we knew giving back to the community was going to be one of our goals. We wanted to surround ourselves with guest and sponsors that are willing to give back to those in need and those that serve or who have served. When we first heard of @solediersocks we knew instantly we had to get involved, little did we know how giving, Mike and Elle, are with their brand, Soledier Socks. We have been blown away by how much it means to them to give back to the men and women who serve and those in need. We have reached out on multiple occasions asking for assistance for causes and they never say no. We are so excited to bring you this episode, so those that dont know can learn about this Uncommon Company. From the brand itself, to running a business as married couple, to goals and dreams of the brand, we covered it all. We are so excited to highlight this brand as well as Mike and Elle specifically. We are honored to be ambassadors and have them as sponsors to the show. We can't wait to see this company grow.

This past weekend we had the honor of recording Ep. 11 from the Tactical Games at Triple C Range in Cresson, Texas. We have to tell you it was an awesome experience. We wished we had gotten 100 more interviews and shared even more stories from the games. To be surrounded by like minded individuals, who love America, sweat equity and guns was a refreshing feeling amongst this crazy world. During this episode we got to speak with several partners of the tactical games as well as game athletes. Unscripted and completely organic, we were blown away by the content and the people we got to speak to. This was our first games to attend and we truly believe the interviews we had were such a great representation of what the Tactical Games are. From Veterans, entrepreneurs, athletes, to an competitor injured and competing with cancer, we covered it all . It's not just guns and sweat, after spending a day you can tell it is so much more. The never give up, don't quit, suck it up attitude was thick in the air. To the staff, Sarah, Tim and Jeremy, thank you all for allowing us to come out and highlight this incredible event. You all have built something special to say the least. To all the volunteers and athletes, thank you for giving us such great content and being Uncommon Americans. We were honored and can't wait to do it again.

Over the years we have had the opportunity to work with some amazing companies in our line of work and this weeks guest is at the top of that list. We took a trip to Triarc Systems to interview the owner and CEO, Chris Reeves. We have known about this incredible company for several years now and both Mark and I use their weapons on duty. After our interview with Chris we learned this isn't just a firearm company this is a mindset and a lifestyle. To say it was an honor is an understatement. The lessons learned just from this brief podcast with Chris is something we all need to take to heart in the crazy world we live in. Chris and his team are as Uncommon as they come, from leadership to mindset to bad ass weapons; we cover it all in Ep. 10 with Chris Reeves of Triarc System. With a fervent interest for American war and weapons history, Chris Reeves founded TRIARC in September of 2013. As a former paratrooper, unit 1/505PIR in the 82nd airborne division, Chris' military service of 14 years included two one-year combat tours in Operation Iraqi Freedom. Chris was specifically trained and developed a strong talent for problem solving and working with mission specific equipment. Leadership skills were acquired during his deployments to Iraq as Chris was a squad leader and platoon sergeant in the 4th infantry division. Faced with battleground hardships, he had to ‘charlie mike' (continue mission), many times when challenges seemed insurmountable.After being wounded overseas and receiving a Purple Heart, Chris retired from the military and remained in Texas to work in the firearms industry. He was finally able to converge all of his values to a specific task: fine tuning the modern AR weapon system. (information take from www.triarcsystems.com)All music brought to you by Nothing More.

How many of you think our world needs more gutsy, bold, disruptive leaders? Our next speaker believes we do and is here to show us how we can embody this type of leadership. David Vobora grew up with a football in his hands and the NFL in his dreams. His path to the NFL, however, was anything but simple. After playing football at the University of Idaho, he was the last pick in the 2008 draft earning him the not-so- coveted title of Mr. Irrelevant. David used this underestimation of his skills and abilities to his advantage during his 4-year career with the St. Louis Rams and the Seattle Seahawks. David's career wasn't over after he hung up his jersey in 2012. On the contrary, it was just beginning. Upon retiring from the NFL, he opened Performance Vault — a sports performance training center aimed at helping rebuild wounded warriors whose potential was grossly unrecognized by society. At Performance Vault, he emphasized strength training, a tribal mindset, and the ability to use one's underdog status to their advantage. Soon after, David met quadruple amputee and military veteran, Travis Mills. This chance encounter led to an explosion of growth at Performance Vault and the launch of a non-profit organization called Adaptive Training Foundation. The growth trajectory at ATF has been astounding. They've built a world class team and they now operate out of an 18,000 square foot facility in Dallas, Texas. David's desire to pour his heart, mind, and soul into everything he does has resulted in a new industry standard for training those with physical disabilities. ATF's first-of- its-kind Train the Trainer program provides physically disabled people access to equal means of physical fitness. David has an unmatched ability to connect with people. He genuinely believes in others until they believe in themselves. He has the gift of making people feel loved for who they are and not for what they do or what they can provide. David is a hope dealer, an alchemist of human development, and a sweat psychologist. He always has one eye on personal and foundational growth, the other eye ensuring no one is left behind in the process, and both feet firmly planted in the present. And we're grateful he is here with us today. Please join me in welcoming David Vobora.

     In this episode, we take an inner look into Clint Bruce and discuss his ability to be selfless when pursuing “Elite”. Clint was an amazing guest who brought so much insight into the concept of others before self. Clint provides perspective he has learned from his many ventures in life. We discuss his childhood, football both at the Naval Academy and the NFL, his time serving his country as an elite Navy Seal, and how he started @carrytheload and Trident Response Group.      To sit at a table with a man of such caliber was beyond a blessing. In everything he talked about there was one common theme, his faith, family and the pursuit of Elite. Please join us in welcoming Clint Bruce of Trident Response to The Uncommon Line.

In this episode we speak with Peter Johnson of Archway Defense on the current status of our county. From the Injustice done to George Floyd and his death to the current status of our nation. From peaceful protest to individuals seizing an opportunity to thwart social change and take advantage of peaceful protestors, we cover it all. As a resident of Minnesota and seeing first hand the destruction the city of Minneapolis has faced, Peter gives us a first hand account of the front line.

For years I have been doing business with and supporting Highcom Armor. I knew they were different just based on how they operate and run their business. But after getting to delve into Mike Bundy the person and leader I was even more taken back after this interview. A true leader lets his people be successful and lets his people shine. Mike is not about himself but about his people. He has surrounded himself with a like-minded team members that know the importance of service before self. Mike knows the importance of his job and that is saving the lives of the ones putting on or using his products. This ethos is passed down from the top of the management team to the line guys fulfilling orders. We want to thank Mike for joining us on the show. It was an honor to highlight a friend that is an Uncommon Warrior in his field. From Faith, Family and Country to the importance of the business, we cover it all in Episode #6 with Mike Bundy from Highcom Armor. 

Please help us welcome John “Tig” Tiegen to The Uncommon Line Podcast! John is best know for his servant leadership and being a hero in the battle of Benghazi where he along with his team, rushed into burning buildings to defend the Consulate and fought arm-in-arm in defense of the Annex, holding off the radical Islamic terrorist until CIA employees could be safely evacuated. This was best depicted in the film: 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi.A little bit about John:John ‘TIG' Tiegen learned early in life the importance of a strong work ethic and a will to overcome hardships in the face of adversity. Determined to not allow his past dictate his future and driven by deeply rooted desire to serve others, he joined the United States Marine Corps at the young age of 17 on a delayed entry program.Wanting to continue serving his country once his military service concluded, Tig, spent several years as a security contractor with Blackwater Security on missions in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq. He then joined the CIA's Global Response Staff where he was tasked with conducting low profile security in high-threat environments throughout the world.Today John travels the country speaking on leadership and about how teamwork, preparation and fortitude gave him and his team the ability to stand strong in the face of adversity. John and his wife also started Beyond The Battlefield The Tiegen Foundation, a 501 (c)(3) non-profit foundation that provides support and resources for wounded warriors (veterans and first responders) as they face the many challenges they encounter during the rehabilitation, reintegration, and healing process.

Join us as we spend time at a Law Enforcement owned business unlike any other. To say  it was an honor to interview Slater and Dani of Relentless Defender is an understatement. We knew this company was special before arriving, but we were even more taken back when we began to learn exactly how selfless Relentless Defender actually is. From the incredible decor hanging on their walls that was purchased to benefit others, to the mindset each and every employee holds. Slater, Dani, and the whole Relentless family are walking the Uncommon Line in a Relentless way, and everything they do is with the mindset of service before self.
