From the Mountains to the Mission: Commander J.D. Donaldson & Captain Bradley Geary's Journey of Service and Sacrifice This week, Marcus and Melanie welcome Commander Jed “J.D.” Donaldson, and Captain Bradley Geary to the Team Never Quit Podcast. J.D Donaldson, a West Virginia native whose journey from small-town athlete to elite Navy SEAL leader is nothing short of remarkable. Raised in Hedgesville and shaped by strong family values and athletic discipline, J.D. earned a U.S. Naval Academy appointment and went on to win two national boxing championships before graduating with a degree in Physics (Oceanography). Selected for SEAL training alongside a small group of peers, J.D. would go on to serve in multiple SEAL Teams across global deployments, holding command positions at SEAL Team Eight and SEAL Team Four, and leading strategic operations in Africa with Special Operations Command. His time at the elite Naval Special Warfare Development Group (DEVGRU) marks the pinnacle of a career defined by leadership, courage, and brotherhood. Now, as Training and Facilities Manager at GBRS Group, J.D. continues to serve the veteran and first responder community, equipping them with the tools and training to thrive. In this episode, we explore how his experiences shaped his approach to leadership, resilience, family, and life after service. Captain Bradley Geary is a retired Navy SEAL officer with 24 years of distinguished service in Naval Special Warfare. A 2000 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy and SEAL Qualification Training Class 234, he led elite teams across the globe—from SEAL Team Four to commanding SEAL Delivery Vehicle Team One. He most recently served as Commanding Officer of Naval Special Warfare Basic Training Command. Captain Geary holds a master's in Defense Analysis and has spent his career training, leading, and mentoring some of the most elite warriors in the world.

"Storytelling heals the brain." "No struggle, no story." "Life happens in moments."   Episode summary | In this episode of Return on Generosity, host Shannon Cassidy speaks with Scott Mann, a former Green Beret and founder of Rooftop Leadership.

The conversation also touches on the creation of his play 'Last Out: Elegy of a Green Beret' and the work of his nonprofit, Task Force Pineapple, which focuses on supporting veterans and their families.   R.O.G. Takeaway Tips | Generosity is key to personal and professional growth. Building trust requires understanding both yourself and others. Storytelling is a powerful tool for healing and connection. Leaders must manage emotional temperatures in conversations. Personal stories can resonate universally and foster connection. Advocacy for veterans is crucial in the current political climate. Preparing for future threats requires awareness and action. Engaging in storytelling can help individuals process their experiences.   Chapters |  00:00 Introduction to Scott Mann and His Journey 03:31 The Role of Green Berets in Building Trust 06:23 Navigating Low Trust Environments 09:26 Practical Steps for Building Trust 12:31 The Power of Storytelling in Healing 15:29 The Journey of Creating 'Last Out' 18:32 Impact of Storytelling on Audiences 21:25 The Generosity of Scars and Vulnerability 29:47 The Power of Personal Storytelling 33:37 The Hero's Journey and Its Impact 40:02 Task Force Pineapple: A New Mission 42:27 Engaging with the Community 47:19 Living a Life of Long Breaths 50:00 Introduction to Generosity and Growth 50:10 The Impact of Giving on Personal Development   Guest Bio | Lieutenant Colonel (Retired) Scott Mann is a former U.S. Army Green Beret with combat tours all over the world including Colombia, Iraq, and multiple tours in Afghanistan.

Clint Stoerner and Ron "The Show" Hughley are joined by United States Army Green Beret and former NFL player, Nate Boyer!

Jen Gatien is a distinguished film producer who is releasing a documentary about Jordan Goudreau, a U.S. Army Green Beret whose story involves Venezuelan Dictator Nicolas Maduro, a plot to topple a socialist regime, and a delayed prosecution by the Biden Administration. Jen set out to tell the story of a veteran she thinks of as an American hero and discovered much about the "warrior" mindset. We discussed how the movie came about and what she hopes people will take from it.For America to have the Trump-promised golden age, it is essential for Trump and "Big Tech" (who seem to be playing nice for the moment) to work together in creating the necessary environment for profound innovation, which would ensure U.S. global leadership over China in tech, especially in the A.I. race. Paul Steidler, Senior Fellow at the Lexington Institute, a leading conservative think tank, joined to discuss the Trump / Tech partnership and the importance of winning the race for global dominance over China.Ron Edwards, host of The Ron Edwards American Experience, joined me for a discussion on the topics of the Reagan National air disaster; the Biden administration and the American Federation of Government Employees (the largest union of federal employees) signing a contract allowing the Department of Education to continue telework despite "return-to-work" orders; and what role the acknowledgment of new media played in the recent decisions of Jim Acosta and Chuck Todd choosing to leave their legacy media jobs. (Admittedly, Acosta was being moved to "the late shift," where Todd just decided to go, so it was not the same circumstance, but it was still a legitimate question.)Become a supporter of Tapp into the Truth: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tapp-into-the-truth--556114/support Tapp into the Truth on Rumble.

Exotic Technologies, Mystery Drones, and the Incoming Trump Administration: Interview with Gene Decode Dr. Eric Davis claims that the UFO/UAP issue is about intelligence gathering using as many sources as possible and grading these in terms of reliability. Marco Rubio, the new Secretary of State, says the ecovery of UFOs is “the biggest story in human history.” The disclosure of antigravitic technologies, used for decades in the secret space programs, is being revealed in clever ways. Dr. Steven Greer was told by his sources that the Deep State/Cabal is using its Chinese assets to build and deploy antigravitic drones from submarines off the Atlantic coast Important inconsistencies raised about the manifesto released by the active duty Army Green Beret linked to the Cybertruck attack at Trump Towers in Las Vegas. Depicting the mystery drones seen near military bases and airports as part of a hybrid war being waged by Russia and China is a very dangerous conclusion to make.

In the days leading up to the January 1, 2025, Tesla Cybertruck explosion outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, Matthew Livelsberger, a 37-year-old U.S. Army Green Beret, allegedly sent an email to retired Army intelligence officer Sam Shoemate. This email, which Shoemate received on December 31, 2024, contained a manifesto outlining Livelsberger's claims of clandestine operations, war crimes, and advanced military technologies. He alleged that both the United States and China had operational "gravitic propulsion systems" and accused U.S. government agencies of covering up war crimes during airstrikes in Afghanistan's Nimruz Province in 2019. Livelsberger instructed Shoemate to release the email after January 1, 2025, and requested anonymity until that date. Shoemate discussed the contents of this email on the Shawn Ryan Show podcast, hosted by retired U.S. Navy SEAL Shawn Ryan, on January 3, 2025. During the podcast, Shoemate revealed that Livelsberger's Signal safety number had changed posthumously, raising concerns about unauthorized access to his account. The manifesto's allegations, including the involvement of a DEA official in the alleged cover-up, have prompted further scrutiny and investigation.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Las Vegas Cybertruck explosion latest: Police look for clues in suspect's writings - ABC NewsUN Report find alleged drug facilities were not lawful targets - airtrikes caused significant civilian casualties | OHCHR

Summary: Jeffrey and Brian discussed the impending dark workers strike, highlighting the tension between job security and automation. They expressed concerns about workers demanding both pay raises and job protection amid a changing job market. The conversation shifted to the political landscape, analyzing Mike Johnson's election as House Speaker and the challenges he faces in uniting a divided Republican party. They also touched on Trump's upcoming sentencing, with Brian noting the potential historical significance of Trump becoming the first convicted felon president without facing penalties, before reflecting on Jimmy Carter's humanitarian legacy. Jeffrey and Brian addressed several pressing issues, including the appointment of Vivek Murphy as the new Surgeon General and proposed health warnings on alcohol due to cancer risks. They expressed sorrow over a judge in Georgia who committed suicide after losing his election and discussed a recent shooting in a Hampton, Virginia bar that resulted in a young man's death. Additionally, they condemned a disturbing incident in New York City where a homeless woman was set on fire, prompting increased patrols by the Guardian Angels in the subway system. The conversation continued with an analysis of a violent incident in Louisiana involving a former U.S. Army Green Beret and an ISIS flag, which raised concerns about President Biden's focus on white supremacy as the primary threat. Testecleese and Brian speculated on Biden's awareness of the attack during his New Year's address and discussed the implications of explosives found in the area. They also shared thoughts on the Tesla Cybertruck's resilience during a separate incident involving explosives. Testecleese later presented two letters criticizing American society's focus on violence, which he likened to a terror threat, while Brian expressed concerns about the Biden administration's handling of Guantanamo detainees. The discussion then shifted to U.S. foreign aid, particularly regarding Iran's nuclear program and military support for Ukraine and Israel. Testecleese expressed frustration over the historical context of nuclear concerns, while McFadden predicted that the current aid package to Ukraine might be the last under Biden's presidency. They debated the effectiveness of U.S. immigration policies and the potential economic impact of mass deportations on Mexico. The conversation also covered the challenges faced by states like Massachusetts in managing migrant populations and the associated costs, alongside a discussion on net neutrality and its implications for internet access.

He alleged that both the United States and China had operational "gravitic propulsion systems" and accused U.S. government agencies of covering up war crimes during airstrikes in Afghanistan's Nimruz Province in 2019. Livelsberger instructed Shoemate to release the email after January 1, 2025, and requested anonymity until that date. Shoemate discussed the contents of this email on the Shawn Ryan Show podcast, hosted by retired U.S. Navy SEAL Shawn Ryan, on January 3, 2025. During the podcast, Shoemate revealed that Livelsberger's Signal safety number had changed posthumously, raising concerns about unauthorized access to his account. The manifesto's allegations, including the involvement of a DEA official in the alleged cover-up, have prompted further scrutiny and investigation.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Las Vegas Cybertruck explosion latest: Police look for clues in suspect's writings - ABC NewsUN Report find alleged drug facilities were not lawful targets - airtrikes caused significant civilian casualties | OHCHRBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The FBI confirmed that the truck rampage in New Orleans, which killed 14 people, was a terrorist attack. The bureau stated that the suspect acted alone and was entirely inspired by ISIS.

It's the third night of a very intense survival training course with a Green Beret guy. I haven't slept or showered. I'm muddy and exhausted and just want to go home to Santa Barbara. I tell myself I just need to make it through one more night and this will all be behind me. When it's time to call it a night, I am given a choice: I can either sleep in my tent or in this lean-to I've built. The lean-to is essentially a hole in the dirt with some twigs on it. At this moment, I'd love nothing more than to be at a resort, yet I remind myself I came to this insane training for a challenge. So I say, “Fine. I'll sleep in this lean-to.” I trek down the road around the bend and shimmy myself into this little hole in the dirt. I can't even see the base camp anymore. I can hear every sound around me as I lay there, and I realize that I've never been alone like this before. But hey, it's fine!  “I'm fine; in just hours, I can go home,” I think to myself. Then, after slightly dozing off, I wake up to this crunching sound just off in the distance. It's coming towards me, and I keep telling myself everything's fine. Then the crunch gets louder and faster until, in the moonlight, I see it: the tusk of a wild boar!?! I lie there, frozen and deciding whether or not to scream, when I remember something: animals sense fear. So I need to be strong, be still, be silent, and stick this out. While it's rooting around my head, something suddenly distracts it, and it runs off into the forest. And when morning arrives, I get out of the lean-to, go back to camp, and announce I survived.  The Green Beret guy says, “Yeah. Good job Kymberlee.” Here's the deal: I am committed to affecting change in our world. With change comes challenges. With challenges comes fear. That means that different levels of fear are always coming up for me. What this unforgettable experience has taught me is that we must cultivate your courage. And when I think of courage, I can't help but think of that Green Beret guy who has become a dear friend. His name is Retired Lieutenant Colonel Scott Mann. Scott is with us today in this episode of the Storytelling School Podcast to discuss the transformative power of thematic stories of survival and courage and answer questions like: What is the significance of storytelling leadership roles? What do personal stories that resonate with others have in common? And why is your delivery of a story as important as its content? What you will learn in this episode: How storytelling can help you cultivate courage and de-escalate fear What kind of questions lead to powerful stories that can bridge divisions What three storytelling myths cause you to avoid telling your stories Who is Scott? Lieutenant Colonel (Retired) Scott Mann is a former U.S. Army Green Beret with tours all over the world including Colombia, Peru, and multiple tours in Afghanistan. He is a warrior storyteller and the founder of Rooftop Leadership, where he shares the rapport-building and storytelling skills he learned in Special Forces to help today's leaders make better human connections in high-stakes, low-trust engagements. Scott is the author of the instant New York Times Best-Seller, Operation Pineapple Express, a third-person narrative detailing the harrowing stories of the veterans, volunteers, and Afghan allies who navigated the U.S. abandonment of Afghanistan in August of 2021. The Gary Sinise Foundation partnered up with Scott to bring his play, Last Out: Elegy of a Green Beret, to stages across the country to provide healing for our veterans and families of the fallen, as well as provide insight for our citizens on the personal cost of the longest war in our nation's history.

In this episode of "Sara Gonzales Unfiltered," Sara breaks down the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump at his campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. With eight years of dangerous rhetoric from the Left calling Trump “Hitler” and a “danger to democracy,” Sara, along with special guest Matthew Murphy, a U.S. Army Green Beret sniper, asks some tough questions about the apparent shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, the failure of the Secret Service in removing Trump from the scene, and counter-snipers letting Crooks get off multiple shots before being “neutralized.” Did Crooks act alone? What was his plan for the explosives in his vehicle and parents' home? Can we trust the FBI for a truthful investigation? Also, in a major victory for President Trump, Judge Aileen Cannon has dismissed the classified documents case, citing unlawful appointment and funding of special counsel Jack Smith. Sara discusses the details with “America on Trial” podcast host and legal expert Josh Hammer.

Fast-talking and feisty-looking John Leguizamo has continued to impress movie audiences with his versatility: he can play sensitive and naïve young men, such as Johnny in Hangin' with the Homeboys; cold-blooded killers like Benny Blanco in Carlito's Way; a heroic Army Green Beret, stopping aerial terrorists in Executive Decision; and drag queen Chi-Chi Rodriguez in To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar.Arguably, not since ill-fated actor and comedian Freddie Prinze starred in the smash TV series Chico and the Man had a youthful Latino personality had such a powerful impact on critics and fans alike. John Alberto Leguizamo Peláez was born July 22, 1960, in Bogotá, Colombia, to Luz Marina Peláez and Alberto Rudolfo Leguizamo.He was a child when his family emigrated to the United States. He was raised in Queens, New York, attended New York University and studied under legendary acting coach Lee Strasberg for only one day before Strasberg passed away.The extroverted Leguizamo started working the comedy club circuit in New York and first appeared in front of the cameras in an episode of Miami Vice. His first film appearance was a small part in Mixed Blood, and he had minor roles in Casualties of War and Die Hard 2 before playing a liquor store thief who shoots Harrison Ford in Regarding Henry.His career really started to soar after his first-rate performance in the independent film Hangin' with the Homeboys as a nervous young teenager from the Bronx out for a night in brightly lit Manhattan with his buddies, facing the career choice of staying in a supermarket or heading off to college and finding out that the girl he loves from afar isn't quite what he thought she was.The year 1991 was also memorable for other reasons, as he hit the stage with his show John Leguizamo: Mambo Mouth, in which he portrayed seven different Latino characters. The witty and incisive show was a smash hit and won the Obie and Outer Circle Critics Award, and later was filmed for HBO, where it picked up a CableACE Award.He returned to the stage two years later with another satirical production poking fun at Latino stereotypes titled John Leguizamo: Spic-O-Rama. It played in Chicago and New York, and won the Drama Desk Award and four CableACE Awards. In 1995 he created and starred in the short-lived TV series House of Buggin', an all-Latino-cast comedy variety show featuring hilarious sketches and comedic routines.The show scored two Emmy nominations and received positive reviews from critics, but it was canceled after only one season. The gifted Leguizamo was still keeping busy in films, with key appearances in Super Mario Bros., Romeo + Juliet and Spawn. In 1998 he made his Broadway debut in John Leguizamo: Freak, a "demi-semi-quasi-pseudo-autobiographical" one-man show, which was filmed for HBO by Spike Lee.Utilizing his distinctive vocal talents, he next voiced a pesky rat in Doctor Dolittle before appearing in the dynamic Spike Lee-directed Summer of Sam as a guilt-ridden womanizer, as the Genie of The Lamp in the exciting Arabian Nights and as Henri DE Toulouse Lautrec in the visually spectacular Moulin Rouge!.He also voiced Sid in the animated Ice Age, co-starred alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger in Collateral Damage and directed and starred in the boxing film Undefeated. Subsequently, Leguizamo starred in the remake of the John Carpenter hit Assault on Precinct 13 and George A. Romero's long-awaited fourth "Dead" film, Land of the Dead.There can be no doubt that the remarkably talented Leguizamo has been a breakthrough performer for the Latino community in mainstream Hollywood, in much the same way that Sidney Poitier crashed through celluloid barriers for African-Americans in the early 1960s.Among his many strengths lies his ability to not take his ethnic background too seriously but also to take pride in his Latino heritage.Please enjoy my conversation with John Leguizamo.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/indie-film-hustle-a-filmmaking-podcast--2664729/support.
