Mitch Ammons, two-time U.S. Olympic marathon trials qualifier and 2:14 marathoner, shares one of the most powerful redemption stories you'll hear. After nearly a decade of heroin and hard drug addiction, repeated rock bottoms, and multiple rehabs, he got sober in 2015 and rebuilt his entire life through running. In this conversation he opens up about the deep need for community that drove both his addiction and his recovery, the power of identity change, the parallels between “just one more” in addiction and ultrarunning, and how the fitness tribe became the healthy belonging he always craved. Today he's a successful realtor, husband, and speaker proving no one is too far gone.Join Dustin Diefenderfer, Founder of MTNTOUGH Fitness Lab and creator of the MTNTOUGH+ Fitness App in the top podcast for Mental Toughness and Mindset.

Joint Base Lewis-McChord sits deep within the forests of Washington State — an area with one of the highest concentrations of reported Bigfoot sightings in the country. For the soldiers, Marines, and Army Rangers who have trained there, some of those stories have come from within the military's own training grounds. Drawn from accounts spanning several decades, these stories describe massive figures encountered during nighttime patrols, land navigation exercises, and reconnaissance missions — including encounters that have reportedly become part of the lore of the Army's elite 2nd Ranger Battalion.

America can't be resilient if it can't feed itself — and Patrick Montgomery believes we've handed far too much control of our food supply to everyone but American farmers.In this episode of The Resilient Show, Chad sits down with the former Army Ranger and KC Cattle Company founder for a blunt conversation about the disappearing American farm, foreign influence over our meat industry, and why food supply needs to be treated as national security.Key Topics:- Why American farms are disappearing- China's influence over the U.S. pork industry- Brazil's growing control over American beef- Why America has fewer cattle despite a much larger population- The aging American farmer and the missing next generation- What COVID exposed about our fragile food supply- Why food supply is national securityAmericans have gotten used to food always being there.

We walks through what that kind of operation would actually require, the human cost calculus, and why this kind of contingency planning matters even if it never executes. No hype. Just the reality of the tip of the spear.

The war in Iran pitted two of the world's mightiest militaries against one weakened by years of strikes, sanctions, and sabotage. And yet it was the smaller country that appears to have emerged with the advantage. In Ukraine, similarly, Russia expected an easy victory, only to be repeatedly thwarted by apparently outmatched Ukrainian forces. These outcomes may seem surprising. But Paul Scharre argues that they should not be. The innovations that have in recent years transformed battlefields have also leveled the playing field between powers great and small. And as Scharre wrote in a recent essay in Foreign Affairs, the U.S. military is unprepared for a new age of warfare in which drones, AI, and other emerging technologies undercut the dominance it has become used to. Scharre, the executive vice president of the Center for a New American Security, served as an Army Ranger in Iraq and Afghanistan and then went on to craft Pentagon policy on drones and autonomous weapons systems. Dan Kurtz-Phelan spoke with him about what the wars in Iran and Ukraine should tell us about the future of warfare more generally, about what China is learning from those wars, and about what the United States must do to adapt.

Most people believe wealth is just about cash flow or quick returns. But what if the real wealth reveals itself over decades—thanks to principles rooted in faith, societal order, and strategic patience? In this episode, Jimmy busts the myth of the 1% rule and shows how ignoring long-term dynamics is costing high-income investors millions in opportunity cost. Discover why the so-called "dead" 1% rule is just the tip of the iceberg—and how recent market conditions demand a completely different approach. Jimmy dives into the four pillars of wealth—appreciation, leverage, tax advantages, and long-term growth—and explains why cash flow is only a small piece of a much larger puzzle. You'll learn how taking a patient, strategic view can turn real estate into what he calls "a multidimensional wealth-building machine," especially in inflationary environments. This episode isn't just for aspiring investors; it's essential for high-income earners feeling stuck or overwhelmed by market noise. Jimmy shares concrete strategies to shift your mindset—from chasing elusive cash flow to focusing on assets that reliably appreciate, leverage government policies, and create generational wealth. If you're tired of analysis paralysis or wasting years waiting for the "perfect" deal, this is the wake-up call you need. Jimmy's insights challenge the conventional wisdom—and reveal how today's environment favors those who adapt their criteria, leverage their assets, and understand the unseen long-term benefits. Whether you're a seasoned investor or someone looking to get started, this episode will reshape your understanding of what it truly means to build wealth through real estate. Ready to stop worrying about the irrelevant metrics and start building assets that work for you for decades? Tune in, switch your perspective, and unlock the wealth-building potential hiding in plain sight. This is the episode that could change your entire approach to investing—and your financial future.

Every once in a while you record an episode and you know, before you even hit stop, that it's a top-tenner. This is that one. Chris and I sat down with Dan Casey and Griffin Brand - a football coach turned historian and an Army Ranger, to talk about their book Bring Your Own Pencil, the leadership playbook of the legendary Bill Walsh. But this isn't a football episode. It's a masterclass for anyone leading a crew or building a business in the trades - roofing, HVAC, restoration, you name it. How to hold a standard without becoming a tyrant. How Walsh turned betrayal into the greatest coaching tree in NFL history. Imposter syndrome, self-belief before the evidence shows up, and why you should never quit a hit show. Grab a notebook - and bring your own pencil. Owning a business in the trades can be the loneliest job there is. Head, Heart, & Boots exists to change that, because the best leaders don't go it alone, and neither should you. -Brandon Why You Should Listen [10:19] The Hacksaw Reynolds story behind the title — one sentence that set the standard for a dynasty [18:31] Holding standards without a toxic, maniacal culture (their answer punched me right in the face) [21:49] Bill Walsh's origin story is failure — and what he built from it [43:20] The four most powerful words a leader can say [54:53] Lightning round: the books and daily habits every leader should steal Did you know...

Keni shares the untold human side of one of the most iconic battles in modern military history, revealing what happened beyond the Hollywood version.

Keni also discusses: The true story behind Black Hawk Down Leadership lessons forged in combat The importance of serving those beside you Building trust before asking people to follow Why veterans must continue telling their stories Faith, resilience, and finding purpose after service How military leadership translates into business success Whether you're a veteran, entrepreneur, executive, first responder, leader, or someone striving to make a greater impact, this episode delivers timeless lessons on courage, sacrifice, and leading by example.

Nick Black is the founder and CEO of GoodUnited, a former Army officer, co-founder of Stop Soldier Suicide, a Presidential Leadership Scholar, and a UNC Distinguished Alumnus. Nick focuses on a cost most leaders refuse to calculate: isolation. What happens to your people when no one is checking on them? After deploying 27 months in combat with the 173rd Airborne, Nick watched one of his soldiers survive war and then lose his life weeks after returning home. That experience reshaped how he thinks about leadership, connection, and responsibility. In this conversation, Nick explains why isolation is the common thread behind many of the losses he has seen, both in combat units and inside organizations, and why the peer group surrounding people is not a culture perk but a lifeline. He also shares what it took to carry mission driven urgency from the battlefield into the nonprofit world and then into a scaling company. For leaders who want to protect their people and not just manage them, this episode offers a more honest standard for what leadership actually requires and what it costs when it is missing.

That has yet to steer me wrong." "Isolation is your enemy. Never allow yourself to sit in a room with your thoughts." "Give that friend a call — your strongest friend, your quietest friend. Let them know you're still in their corner." "I have no idea what to do, but I seemingly have a PhD in what not to do." "Mission first, people always — and the only way you get the mission is through your people." "Find ten people that can do the work of a hundred." "You don't need to go be an Army Ranger. Show me how you got out of your comfort zone, took something on, and didn't quit. It could be anything." "Go find your passion and then go serve it." "If you can't laugh at yourself, you're not being honest with yourself — and I don't think many people are going to follow you." "The secret is not to give up hope. It's very hard not to, because if you're really doing something worthwhile, I think you'll be pushed to the brink of hopelessness before you come through the other side." — George Lucas Explore the full archive at www.theleadershippodcast.com or wherever you get your podcasts!

The Washington Roundtable is joined by Representative Jason Crow, of Colorado, an Army Ranger veteran, member of the House Intelligence and Armed Services Committees, and one of the so-called Seditious Six, members of Congress whom Donald Trump threatened to have arrested for recording a video which reminded servicemembers that they are not required to follow illegal orders. Crow is also co-leading the Democratic Party's effort to recruit and train a new generation of congressional candidates, placing him at the center of an urgent dilemma: how can the Party translate growing anxiety over the economy and the war in Iran into a coherent, winning message? His answer, in part, is to go “hyper-local,” build coalitions, and ignore the noise. “I tell these folks that you're basically running your campaign like you're running for mayor of your district,” Crow says. “Ignore Fox News, ignore the cable news networks, ignore the algorithms. You can't control that, anyhow.”See the Washington Roundtable live at 92NY on June 4th.This week's reading: “When Trump's Away,” by Antonia Hitchens “What the Gerrymandering Wars Mean for the Midterms—and 2028,” by Isaac Chotiner “Will Donald Trump be Allowed to Destroy His Records?,” by Ruth Marcus “The Looming Disaster of the Border Wall in Big Bend, Texas,” by Rachel Monroe The Political Scene draws on the reporting and analysis found in The New Yorker for lively conversations about the big questions in American politics.
