Modern warfare is no longer defined by who has the biggest force, but by who can adapt the fastest. The battlefield is changing in real time through artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, cyber capabilities, and the speed of information. But even in the most advanced operating environments, victory still comes down to disciplined leaders, trusted teams, and soldiers prepared to make decisions under pressure when everything is on the line.The responsibility for America's rapid response to any crisis belongs to the Army's XVIII Airborne Corps.From their headquarters at Fort Bragg, NC, Fran Racioppi sat down with Lieutenant General Greg Anderson, Commanding General of the XVIII Airborne Corps, to discuss how he is preparing America's Contingency Corps for combat in an increasingly dangerous world.Leading more than 80,000 soldiers across the 3rd Infantry Division, 10th Mountain Division, 82nd Airborne Division, and 101st Airborne Division, and other subordinate commands, LTG Anderson explains how the Corps balances readiness, speed, and innovation while maintaining the fundamentals that have always defined military success.Our conversation explores the role of Noncommissioned Officer, the importance of mastering the basics, and why leadership development remains America's greatest asymmetric advantage. We also discuss the integration of conventional and special operations forces, the concept of compound warfare, and the difference between interoperability and true integration on the battlefield.LTG Anderson breaks down the Corps' push toward innovation through initiatives like the Joint Innovation Outpost and experimental exercises that incorporate artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data-driven decision-making into operational planning. But even as technology changes warfare, he makes one thing clear; there must always be a human in the loop.Highlights0:00 Introduction2:17 Welcome to the Jedburgh Podcast4:01 The role of XVIII Airborne Corps9:57 Empowering NCOs14:58 Joint Innovation Outpost19:00 Speeding the Acquisition Timeline22:53 Keeping A Human in the Loop25:41 Integration vs Interoperability29:13 Guiding the Tactical Level Leader32:48 Compound Warfare Today37:22 Generational Warfighting Differences42:00 The XVIII Airborne Corps Formation45:04 Daily HabitsQuotes“What operational problems do they expect us to solve for them?”“If I've got a strong team…we'll typically prevail.”“Certainly what I've learned of any value has come from non-commissioned officers that raised me up.”“The role of the non-commissioned officer is to become the technical tactical experts in the application of violence at the tactical level.”“What are we doing to get the NCO corps to that point where they are the Army?”“How do we use advanced computing to allow us to make decisions more informed and faster than our opponents?”“The advantage of war fighting is not replacing humans with machine decision making. It's now creating superhumans that are enabled by it.”“Interoperability is our ability to work together in an efficient, effective manner.”“Compound Warfare is the blending of regular and irregular capabilities to create a host of dilemmas for your enemy.”“You'll never be able to tell that tactical level leader when things are going to change and shift if you haven't done the operational level rigor.”“My role as the general is not to solve the problem or be the hero that comes in, but to think and understand the problem we're trying to solve.”The Jedburgh Podcast is brought to you by OneBrief; enabling military leaders to make innovative, informed and deliberate decisions faster than ever before.

My veteran is Specialist (Corporal) David Bixler, Specialist Bixler was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 320th Field Artillery, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division. On September 30, 2010, Specialist Bixler was on patrol in heavily mined farmland in the Arghandab(AR-CON DOB) River Valley in Afghanistan. He was leading a team of three Afghan National Army Soldiers, when his unit was ambushed and heavy gunfire ensued. When Bixler saw that one of the Afghan soldiers had veered toward uncleared ground, he ran after him and pushed him to safety. While doing so, Bixler stepped on an improvised explosive device. He suffered the loss of both legs, damage to his spinal cord, traumatic brain injury, and other serious injuries. For his heroic action, Bixler was awarded the Silver Star, as well as a Purple Heart for his wounds. Bixler was the 2011 USO Soldier of the Year.

We have special Wilderness Areas for humans who continue to look to consumerism, monotheism, and ICE for solutions to the ecocide called modern living. If you run a trillion dollar Big Oil Bank, or the 101st Airborne Division, or a Sports Franchise with celebrities, lawyers and reputational consultants, you might mistake a climate change era superstorm for a computer that has been hacked and needs servicing. You might think that Canada's 800 wildfires can be fixed with AI. The Earth is the Real Government.
At four years old, Andrew Meari stood at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery and quietly told his mother: “Mommy, I'm going to be a soldier.” He never changed his mind. Years later, PFC Andrew Meari deployed to Afghanistan with the 101st Airborne Division, 1-502nd Infantry. On November 1, 2010, during combat operations in Kandahar, Andrew was killed in action while protecting his brothers during a motorcycle VBIED attack. He was 21 years old. In this powerful Memorial Week conversation, Gold Star Mother Denise Williams joins The MisFitNation to share the story behind the uniform… the little boy who loved history, the young man who dreamed of service, the soldier who stood forward, and the legacy that continues long after his final mission. But this episode goes deeper. It explores the reality of military sacrifice. The unimaginable moment a parent receives the call. The bond between soldiers. The strength of Gold Star families. And how purpose can still exist after devastating loss. Denise also shares:

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to have back on the show once again: Ritual Abuse, Military Mind Control, and Organized Abuse survivor, thriver, and whistleblower, loving mother, writer, painter, and graphic artist, daydreamer of publishing her own book one day, content creator, nature lover, 12-step fellowship and survivor support group participant, and a courageous warrioress bringing a light to the darkness that is RAMCOA: Mary Sparrow From the very first days of her life, Mary entered a world that tried to break her before she could even speak. Born in a Catholic hospital in Manhattan, she was taken from her mother for weeks - an eerie separation that set the tone for a childhood steeped in both fleeting love and unrelenting terror. Her father, a former paratrooper in the 101st Airborne Division turned bar owner, began sexually abusing Mary in her earliest years. Her mother, shaped by her own generational trauma from impoverished, oppressed Ireland in the 1930s and 40s, responded with verbal and physical outbursts rooted in unresolved pain. By age four, Mary was drawn into a nightmare far darker than most can imagine: a child sex trafficking network in the New York City area involving ritual abuse, child pornography, exploitation, and highly sophisticated military mind control programming.She was taken to lab-like facilities with men in uniforms and white coats, strapped into chairs with helmets and wires, subjected to electricity, pain, and psychological torment that forced her to dissociate - floating out of her body to survive. She witnessed horrors including ritual sacrifice and organized abuse involving pedophile networks and powerful figures. Programming instilled false pride, sexualized affection mixed with pain, and discard protocols meant to ensure she would self-destruct later in life.Her mother's courageous escape when Mary was ten and a half ended the active trafficking and ritual horrors. The physical captivity ended, but the internal programming remained ruthless.In her early forties, while deep in 12-step recovery, repressed memories began surfacing in gentle fragments. Journaling, intuitive drawing, and painting became lifelines.Today, Mary is a radiant beacon of hard-won triumph. She lives with a joy that once felt impossible, her days filled with writing and dreaming of the memoir that will one day reach thousands, creating art that processes flashbacks and balances darkness with vibrant light, music that stirs her soul, poetry that ignites memories of the past, and profound connection in survivor circles. And this is what we will be sharing more of today - Mary's creativity through her own artwork and poetry. On Mary's last episode, we shared a moment in time through her artwork, grappling with the reality of ritual abuse and taking in moments from the past Mary vulnerably shared that stirred and came to life behind the paint on the paper. On today's episode, we will be showcasing more of Mary's artwork and introducing some of her collages and poetry.

Colm Walker is entered in the 2026 Golden Globe Race. He was in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico when we talked, on the way from San Diego to France via the Panama Canal. He is a dual citizen of the United States and Ireland, an Airborne Ranger and combat veteran of the 82nd Airborne Division, and a lifelong waterman. His boat, Mo Chuisle ("My Pulse" in Irish), is a Tayana 37 cutter. He sails in support of veteran mental health, raising awareness for those still fighting unseen battles long after the guns have gone quiet. For Colm, the Golden Globe Race is not an escape from life, but a commitment to it. It is a test of self-reliance, resilience, and surrender. A chance to show that stillness can be strength, and that sometimes, the way forward is to go alone. We talk about Mexico, clearing in to Mexico, the benefits of traveling internationally, the passage from San Diego to Puerto Vallarta, boatyard woes, racing on a Swan, the feel of sailing his boat - a Tayana 37, the Hydrovane and the Raymarine qutopilots, a spinnaker-pole failure, how military experience is beneficial in sailing, PTSD, rites of passage, Taoism, why the Golden Globe Race is Important, moving from digital back to analog sailing, safety, physical and mental preparations for the race, the Wisdom Dojo, and more.

Retired Green Beret and Virginia legislator Nick Freitas (author of The Manbook) discusses the crisis of modern masculinity, how to push back against “black-pilled” doomers on the political right, and the fundamental standards every man needs to meet. And in explosive testimony in Germany, Dr. Helmut Sterz (former Pfizer executive & head of their EU toxicology centers) estimated up to 60,000 COVID vaccine-related deaths in Germany alone. Elon Musk responded by posting “The vaccine dosage was obviously too high and done too many times…my second vaccine shot almost sent me to the hospital. Felt like I was dying. Investigative journalist Sonia Elijah exposes the institutional cover-up, and how HHS Secretary Alex Azar invoked the PREP Act to grant blanket liability to vaccine manufacturers a full 35 days before the WHO even declared a pandemic. Sonia Elijah also discusses “miracle” updates from Edogawa Hospital in Japan, the only facility known to have successfully cleared spike proteins and amyloid blood clots using dual filter plasmapheresis and stem cells. Sonia Elijah is an independent investigative journalist and former BBC researcher. She is author of 3/11 Viral Takeover: On March 11, 2020, a Pandemic was Declared and Our World Changed Forever.

An abandoned prison in the English countryside… where the living may be gone, but the dead are still serving their sentences. Anne and Renata investigate Ashwell Prison in Oakham, Rutland—a former men's facility built atop a WWII U.S. Army base once home to the 82nd Airborne Division. Decades of violence, death, and unrest may have left more than memories behind. Visitors report shadow figures moving through derelict halls, footsteps that follow too closely, and an unseen force that seems determined to drive the living back out… as if some former inmates never accepted their release.

"God Bless America and all those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to defend her," read a post accompanying the video. He also used profanities to lambaste California Gov. Gavin Newsom in the post, which has been seen more than 10 million times. President Donald Trump was asked Tuesday afternoon about the aircrew suspensions and did not appear overly concerned. “I didn't see it, no, but I'm sure they had a good time,” he said of the video when he was asked at an executive order signing ceremony. “They probably shouldn't have been doing it. You're not supposed to be playing games, right?” Trump said. “I'd take a look at it. They like Kid Rock; I like Kid Rock. Maybe they were trying to defend him, I don't know.” The Army identified the aircraft as AH-64 Apache helicopters operating in the Nashville area and said that "appropriate action will be taken if any violations are found." A military spokesperson said Monday that the helicopters flew from Fort Campbell, Kentucky, to the Nashville area. A spokesman for the 101st Airborne Division, at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, said that the flying helicopters were not related to Nashville's "No Kings" protests over the weekend and that they were "entirely coincidental" with the demonstrations.” (NBC News)KID ROCK Uses Army and Hates Protesters | The Podcast That Rocked
Send us Fan MailPeaches is back with another Daily Drop—and this one's not subtle.Thousands from the 82nd Airborne Division are now in position, the USS Tripoli is on station, and we've burned through 850+ Tomahawks in weeks. If you think this is just “posturing,” you're not paying attention. Peaches breaks down what's actually happening: pre-positioning vs invasion, why combat patches are already getting handed out, and how quickly this could turn into something ugly.Then he goes off—acquisition still sucks, we're late on nuclear modernization, and somehow we're just now figuring out micro nuclear reactors like it's a new idea.Oh—and yes, someone tried to steal a Javelin missile. Because apparently common sense is still optional.Bottom line: things are accelerating, stockpiles are getting stressed, and if this goes ground-war level… it's not going to look anything like what people think.⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 Daily Drop—Here's What Actually Matters 01:30 82nd Airborne Arrives—Signal vs Reality 03:15 Combat Patches Already?

Send us Fan MailPeaches is back with a no-BS Daily Drop, and if you're still pretending the world isn't heating up… you're behind.We're talking real movements—82nd Airborne Division heading to the Middle East, the USS Tripoli rolling into CENTCOM, and an E-3 Sentry AWACS getting smoked at PSAB. Yeah… that's not “business as usual.” Peaches breaks it down the way most headlines won't—this isn't panic, it's positioning. Big muscle movements, pre-staging, and letting the world know we're ready if things go sideways.Then he goes straight at the uncomfortable truth: acquisition is still broken, low-cost munitions are “coming soon” (sure…), and we're stretched thin enough to consider shifting aid from Ukraine.Oh—and the SecDef praying for “overwhelming violence”? That's not extreme. That's reality when you're in the profession of arms.If that makes you uncomfortable, good.

As the war in Iran continues into its fifth week, the Pentagon is contemplating sending an additional 10,000 ground troops to the Middle East. This escalation would add to the roughly 5,000 Marines and at least 2,000 paratroopers from the elite 82nd Airborne Division that have already been ordered to the region. Meanwhile, President Trump has pressed pause on his threat to strike Iranian energy infrastructure offering a ten-day reprieve, and on Friday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters that the U.S. could achieve its objectives without using ground troops. We talk about the latest on the Iran War and the fast pivoting American strategy.

They have allowed units across their brigade to conduct "offset PT" which - importantly - is not just "reverse cycle PT" but rather a flexible approach to when physical training is conducted. Their initial pilot showed huge improvements not just in fitness, but across sleep, nutrition, and even social connections. COL Christopher Brawley, the Brigade Commander, had already implemented this model successfully at 1st Ranger Battalion, so he knew the potential it presented to building trust and organizational performance. CSM Jeremiah Waggoner, a multiple time Best Ranger competitor, was focused on the physical fitness expectations for the formation, as well as keeping NCOs in charge of leading training of all types.Dr. Ellie Van Luit, the brigade's H2F Program Director, saw H2F's role as enabling and supporting this effort, but she emphasized that it was a brigade initiative, not an H2F initiative.You can find the full results of the initial pilot on our free downloads page.
VOV1 - Theo các nguồn tin quân sự - quốc phòng của Nhật Bản và Hàn Quốc, Bộ Tư lệnh Trung tâm Mỹ vừa xác nhận một bộ phận của quân đội Mỹ đồn trú tại Nhật Bản đã có mặt tại Trung Đông theo đúng kế hoạch. Bộ Tư lệnh Trung tâm Mỹ (CENTCOM) cho biết tàu tấn công đổ bộ (Amphibious Assault ship) USS Tripoli được triển khai tại căn cứ Sasebo thuộc tỉnh Nagasaki – miền Nam Nhật Bản, đã có mặt tại Trung Đông từ hôm 27/3.Cùng với Tripoli, còn có một lực lượng thuộc đơn vị hải quân viễn chinh số 31 đồn trú tại căn cứ thủy quân lục chiến Mỹ Camp Hansen thuộc tỉnh Okinawa – cực Nam Nhật Bản. Tổng binh lực được điều chuyển tới Trung Đông của Tripoli và đơn vị này lên tới 3.500 binh sỹ, cùng nhiều máy bay vận tải và máy bay chiến đấu hiện đại.USS Tripoli là chiến hạm được triển khai tại Nhật Bản từ tháng 6/2025. Ngoài lực lượng tinh nhuệ nêu trên, trong biên chế tàu này còn có nhiều tiêm kích tàng hình F-35 của quân đội Mỹ. Trước đây, USS Tripoli đã từng có mặt tại Philippines, nhưng sau đó đã thay đổi hải trình về hướng Trung Đông.Bên cạnh đó, đơn vị hải quân viễn chinh số 31 là lực lượng có thể tác chiến trên không, trên bộ và thực hiện những nhiệm vụ đặc biệt khác. Đơn vị này đã từng tham chiến tại Afghanistan và Iraq.Trong một diễn biến có liên quan, các nguồn tin quân sự - quốc phòng của Nhật Bản và Hàn Quốc còn cho hay, Bộ Quốc phòng Mỹ cũng đã quyết định điều một bộ phận của Sư đoàn dù số 82 (82nd Airborne Division) - một đơn vị bộ binh dù tinh nhuệ của Lục quân Mỹ, chuyên thực hiện các chiến dịch nhảy dù đột kích và phản ứng nhanh, nổi tiếng là một trong những đơn vị thiện chiến và sẵn sàng chiến đấu cao nhất, đến Trung Đông.Theo giới quan sát, việc điều chuyển sức mạnh chiến đấu nêu trên có khả năng là để chuẩn bị cho những đợt tác chiến trên mặt đất của bộ binh trong vài tuần tới. Theo đó, chiến sự tại Iran sẽ tiếp tục kéo dài với những diễn biến không thể lường trước.Lực lượng tinh nhuệ của Mỹ đồn trú tại Nhật Bản đã đến Trung ĐôngTheo các nguồn tin quân sự - quốc phòng của Nhật Bản và Hàn Quốc, Bộ Tư lệnh Trung tâm Mỹ vừa xác nhận một bộ phận của quân đội Mỹ đồn trú tại Nhật Bản đã có mặt tại Trung Đông theo đúng kế hoạch.

Send us Fan MailJaron Wharton—a former brigade commander in the 82nd Airborne Division and co-editor of Bend but Do Not Break joins Joe to examine the future of the all-volunteer force and the role of professional discourse in strengthening the military. Joe and Jaron discuss how education and self-study shape better leaders, why intellectual curiosity is essential in command, and how stepping outside of purely tactical experiences helps leaders avoid what Joe describes as a “soda straw” view of the world. They also reflect on the dangers of groupthink inside hierarchical organizations and the responsibility leaders have to create space for dissenting ideas.Throughout the conversation, they explore the growing disconnect between the military and the society it serves, the risks of an emerging “warrior caste,” and why service must be valued beyond just those in uniform.Joe and Jaron also discuss: Why education prepares leaders not just for success—but for failure The danger of an “anti-intellectual bend” in the military How groupthink develops—and how leaders can actively fight it Why publishing isn't the goal—promoting conversation is The risks of a widening civil-military gap Why service should be celebrated across all professions—not just the military The importance of giving junior leaders a voice in shaping the profession What it might take to mobilize society for large-scale conflict Whether you're a junior leader trying to find your voice, a senior leader thinking about the future of the force, or someone simply interested in the relationship between the military and society, this episode offers a thoughtful and challenging look at where we are—and where we may be headed.Also, check out Bend but Do Not Break, with proceeds supporting Wear Blue: Run to Remember.Veteran-founded Adyton.

The Pentagon is planning on putting boots back on the ground in the Middle East. Some 2,000 soldiers from the 82nd Airborne Division have received orders to deploy to the region despite President Donald Trump signaling last week that he was interested in ending his war in Iran via diplomatic means.As Democrats and Republicans continue to find themselves in a stand off over DHS funding, security lines at airports around the country continue to grow.Tech giants Meta and YouTube were found negligent in a landmark case concerning the companies' creation of addictive online platforms that harm users' mental health and wellbeing.And, in global news, Iranian officials confirmed this week they received a 15-point plan from the U.S. to end the war that's killed thousands of Iranians and several American service members.

A key element of the 82nd Airborne is the Immediate Response Force, a group of highly-trained soldiers who can parachute into enemy territory.

President Trump also warning the U.S. could target oil facilities if Iran interferes with the Strait of Hormuz.Senate Democrats rejected a Republican plan to fund the Department of Homeland Security, extending a partial shutdown now in its sixth week.

The Pentagon is planning to deploy a brigade combat team from the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division to the Middle East to support operation against Iran. A written order to deploy the unit, made up of roughly 3,000 soldiers, is expected in the coming hours, the officials confirmed. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman sees a “historic opportunity” to remake the region, according to people briefed by U.S. officials on the conversations. President Trump announced The US will hold off on striking Iranian energy infrastructure and that any negotiated settlement would include Tehran handing over its supply of enriched uranium, a critical element of the country’s nuclear program. The geography of the Strait of Hormuz, where shipping lanes are just 2 miles wide, gives Iran unique power over the global economy. But its history shows the current battle for the strait is just the latest iteration of a centuries-old fight to control the critical trade entrepôt.

As the U.S. rapidly moves toward the one-month mark in President Trump's highly controversial war with Iran, the costs – both in human lives and dollars and cents — continue to mount rapidly. And these costs are impacting virtually all Americans. Not only are direct expenditures on the war impacting the U.S. Treasury and the government's ability to fund core public services, the economic impacts – most notably in the form of soaring fuel prices – are taking a toll on millions of average consumers. And it's in light of these developments that the group Veterans for Responsible Leadership has launched a new billboard campaign in North Carolina critiquing the war and calling for Congress to exercise its authority to control the president's thus far unilateral actions. And recently, Newsline caught up with the group's North Carolina-based executive director, former U.S. 82nd Airborne Division captain, Scott Peoples. Click here to listen to the full interview with Scott Peoples, executive director of Veterans for Responsible Leadership.
We decided to schedule this episode based on a video of COL King giving an outstanding hype speech to Bronco Brigade before they competed in Tropic Lightning Week. Unfortunately that video is currently unavailable due to the Army's restriction of unit social media pages, but if we can get our hands on the file we'll get it posted on our own page soon! Notably, unlike most content focusing on specific military leaders that gets significant engagement, the comments were almost universally positive, coming from people who had served with COL King throughout his career. That immediately told us he'd be someone worth hearing from.Colonel Adisa King is a Jackson, Mississippi native and graduated in December 2000 from United States Military Academy at West Point. He commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant in the US Army Infantry. After completing Airborne and Ranger School, he set off on a career in the infantry that has spanned 2nd Infantry Division at Camp Hovey, Korea, the Old Guard in Fort Myer, VA, Marine Corps Expeditionary School, 82nd Airborne Division, deployment to New Orleans, LA, for Hurricane Katrina recovery, and deployment to Samarra, Iraq in support of Operation Iraq Freedom 05-06 and 08-09.He served as an Admission Liaison Officer for the Army Football Team, attended Command and General Staff College in Fort Leavenworth, KS, and received his Masters in Business Administration from Webster University.From there he went off to 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) where he deployed to Khost Province, Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom 12-13 and deployed to Afghanistan again in 2014 in support of Operation Resolute Support. He served in the Senate Liaison Division (SLD) within the Office of Chief of Legislative Liaison (OCLL). He later served as the Aide to Acting Secretary of the Army Honorable Patrick Murphy followed by the confirmed 22nd Secretary of the Army, Honorable Eric K. Fanning.He did squadron command back in 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) and in 2019 deployed to Iraq again. He was Regimental Tactical Officer for 1st Regiment in the United States Corps of Cadets and attended War College before assuming his current command of 3rd Brigade 25th ID.You can read the article about "prevention" vs "risk mitigation" mentioned in the opening here.

Doug Evans is the founder and CEO of The Sprouting Company, an early pioneer in the natural foods industry, former paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne Division, and author of the national bestseller The Sprout Book. From building a multimillion-dollar graphic design firm in his early 20s to exiting Organic Avenue in an eight-figure deal, to raising $120M for Juicero—and losing it all publicly—Doug's entrepreneurial journey has been anything but linear. Now, he's on a mission to revolutionize home food production by teaching people how to grow ultra-nutritious sprouts right on their kitchen counter. On this episode we talk about: Why being willing to do what nobody else wants to do creates opportunity Charging what you're actually worth—and how one $25K invoice changed everything The hard lessons of raising venture capital and losing control of your company Turning public failure (Juicero) into personal reinvention Why sprouts may be the most underrated business (and health) opportunity of the decade The discipline required to override laziness, addiction, and self-sabotage Top 3 Takeaways Value your time—and price accordingly. Doug went from charging $200/hour to confidently asking for $25,000 for a single engagement. That shift in self-perception changed his earning ceiling overnight. VC money comes with strings. Raising $120M for Juicero created scale—but also invited control shifts that ultimately pushed Doug out of his own company. Solve your own problem first. The Sprouting Company was born from Doug asking, “What will I eat in the desert?” The best businesses often start as deeply personal solutions. Notable Quotes “If you're willing to do what nobody else wants to do, you'll get the opportunity.” “You can have anything you want—if you're willing to do the work and be patient.” “Something as small as a seed can grow into a multibillion-dollar company.” “Money is there to be made—but you have to create value first.” Doug's Entrepreneurial Timeline (The Good, The Bad, The Ugly) Built a multimillion-dollar graphic design company in his early 20s Walked away from a bad partnership to protect his freedom Scaled Organic Avenue to 10 NYC stores and achieved an eight-figure exit Founded Juicero, raised $120M+ from top-tier investors—and experienced a high-profile shutdown Reinvented himself in Wonder Valley and launched The Sprouting Company, now generating millions in revenue Connect with Doug Evans: Instagram: @dougevans LinkedIn: Doug Evans Company: The Sprouting Company Book: The Sprout Book Travis Makes Money is made possible by HighLevel – the all-in-one sales & marketing platform built for agencies.

Former military intelligence officer and Stargate program veteran Dr. Paul H. Smith reveals the CIA's classified history of psychic spying and explains how the military weaponized human consciousness to remote view targets across time and space in episode 237 of the Far Out with Faust podcast.Dr. Paul H. Smith is a retired Major who served 20 years in the U.S. military, serving as a tactical intelligence officer with the 101st Airborne Division during Desert Shield and Desert Storm, and as a strategic intelligence officer for the Defense Intelligence Agency. For seven years, he was a primary member of the government's secret remote viewing program at Fort Meade, where he served as an operational remote viewer, instructor, and unit historian. After retiring in 1996, he earned a PhD from the University of Texas at Austin in the philosophy of mind to further explore the hard problem of consciousness and its implications for non-physical realities.In this conversation, Faust and Dr. Paul H. Smith explore the high-stakes world of Project 8200 and the administrative skepticism that led to the program's official closure in 1995. They discuss the democratic nature of ESP, debunking the myth that one must have a special gift to be successful. By examining the redacted files of SRI International and the military classification of anomaly targets, they reveal a legacy of psychic intelligence that remains one of the government's most controversial paranormal secrets.In this episode: - The Stargate Origins: How a rumor about a psychic on the Nautilus submarine sparked a psychotronics arms race with the Soviet Union. - The Cooked CIA Report: Why the 1995 analysis used to justify closing Stargate only examined 40 out of 3,000 operational sessions. - Post-Stargate Secrets: Compelling evidence from whistleblowers that remote viewing programs may still exist within the NSA or other hidden government tiers. - Stanford Research Institute: The startling SRI discovery that remote viewing is an inborn human skill rather than a rare gift. - The Legend of Pat Price: A look at the most significant figure in remote viewing history and the suspicious circumstances surrounding his death. - Project 8200: The classified exploration of alleged UFO bases and encounters with non-human intelligence. - The Mars Sessions: A deep dive into the famous remote viewing experiences involving the Red Planet. - The Heaven's Gate Impact: How sensational claims and tragedies have historically damaged the public perception of serious consciousness research. - Administrative Cynicism: Why the CIA's decision to end Stargate was more about seizing personnel slots than actual program failure. - The Hard Problem: Why physicalist science struggles to explain a consciousness that isn't limited by the physical brain.This isn't just a discussion about spies and psychics. It is a radical look at military intelligence that proves our highest level defense agencies spent decades using consciousness as a legitimate weapon to pierce the boundaries of time and space.Check Out Dr. Paul H.

Steve Bleigh is the son and grandson of Army veterans. He joined the U.S. Army in 1986, fully expecting to be an infantryman throughout his service. When he returned to civilian life eighteen years later, Bleigh had spent 14 years in Army Special Forces and was a veteran of Afghanistan, Iraq, the Gulf War, and the conflict in Somalia.In this edition of Veterans Chronicles, MSG Bleigh tells us about his service in the Gulf War with the 82nd Airborne Division and the lessons he learned there that helped the rest of his years in uniform. Then he talks about selection and qualifying for Special Forces, being deployed as a weapons sergeant in Somalia, how he responded when the mission in Somalia turned deadly, and training to be a medic after returning home.Following the 9/11 Al Qaeda terrorist attacks, Bleigh and ODA 595 were among the first U.S. units to set foot in Afghanistan. Now often referred to as the Horse Soldiers, the unit teamed up with elements of the Northerrn Alliance to force the Taliban from power. Bleigh reflects on the toughest fighting in Afghanistan and being one of very few medics on the ground there.Finally, he details his two tours in Iraq, including the initial invasion and the early, successful hunt for key enemy figures. He then describes a very different second tour, one marked by relentless enemy IED's and maddening rules of engagement.
What happens when danger comes from where you least expect it? Bart Womack dedicated nearly three decades of his life to serving the United States Army, rising to the highest enlisted ranks and leading soldiers in combat, training, and some of the most sacred roles in military service. But one moment forever changed his understanding of trust, leadership, and survival when he became a firsthand survivor of a deadly insider attack carried out by a fellow American soldier. This episode explores the psychological impact of betrayal, the long road to healing after trauma, and how Bart transformed one of the darkest moments of his life into a mission focused on prevention, awareness, and leadership. His story is not just about military service — it's about resilience, responsibility, and choosing purpose after devastation. Guest Bio Command Sergeant Major (Ret.) Bart E. Womack served over 29 years in the United States Army, holding elite roles including Drill Sergeant, Ranger Instructor, and Sergeant of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. A two-time combat veteran, Bart retired after serving as both Commandant of the 101st Airborne Division Noncommissioned Officers Academy and Command Sergeant Major of the 101st Airborne Division. Following his military career, Bart transitioned into film, consulting, and veteran advocacy, working in Hollywood as a military technical advisor and supporting veterans through education and mentorship.

The right to protest is each of ours... except if you're on the right. Counter protestors including J6er Jake Lang get attacked in Minneapolis, cornered and beaten. Where is the police? Where is the military? Trump readies the Army's 11th Airborne Division from Alaska to deploy if the President calls for the Insurrection Act to restore order. Tim Walz and Jacob Frey are under criminal investigation by the DOJ for inciting a revolution against ICE. Veterans are reportedly joining ICE in record numbers.
