What can Film Noir teach us about character arcs and audience engagement? In this two part series, Mel and Chas use Noir (the genre) as a lens to interrogate flawed characters.

Sometimes the worst disruptions lead to the best innovations. When COVID hit, Chas Gessner had built a thriving concierge medical clinic doing in-home hormone optimization across Southern California. Overnight, everything changed. Instead of folding, he pivoted to a completely virtual telemedicine model—and scaled his impact beyond what he ever thought possible. But here's what I love about Chas's story: His business didn't start from ambition. It started from necessity. After 7-8 years in the NFL dealing with head trauma and physical wear-and-tear, Chas was experiencing hormone dysfunction in his late 20s—issues most men don't face until their 40s. Traditional healthcare offered band-aids. He wanted root causes. So he reconnected with a naturopathic doctor from Brown, "popped the hood" on his labs, and discovered a lot was awry. That personal quest became Vitality RX, now helping thousands of men reclaim their energy, focus, and vitality. In Get Yourself Optimized, Chas shares: ✅ Why the "normal" testosterone range is meaningless ✅ The difference between TRT and natural hormone optimization ✅ His complete sleep, supplement, and stress management protocol ✅ How to test and track what actually matters If you've been feeling like you're just "getting older," this episode is required listening. Because what you're experiencing has a name—and a solution.

Honoring the Fallen: The 1979 Camp Fuji Fire In this episode of Oscar Mike Radio, I had the privilege of speaking with Marine Corps veteran and journalist Chas Henry, author of Fuji Fire. Together, we revisited the 1979 Camp Fuji fire in Japan, one of the most devastating peacetime disasters in Marine Corps history. This tragedy, triggered by a powerful typhoon, claimed the lives of several Marines and left a lasting scar on those who survived. My conversation with Chas brought this painful yet important chapter of military history to light, ensuring that the courage and sacrifice of those Marines are never forgotten. Chas Henry's Investigative Journey Chas took me through his in-depth investigative process behind Fuji Fire, uncovering the systemic failures that led to the disaster and exploring the leadership lessons that remain relevant today. His storytelling is both powerful and sobering, a reminder of how history can shape the standards and safety we uphold in the service today. As we talked, it was clear that this story isn't only about tragedy, it's also about resilience, courage, and brotherhood, the very essence of the Marine Corps. Lessons in Leadership and Remembrance This conversation with Chas reminded me why preserving these stories is so important. The Marines who endured Camp Fuji displayed extraordinary strength in the face of chaos, showing true leadership and unity. By revisiting this story, we honor not just those who were lost, but also those who carried on, the ones who rebuilt, learned, and continued to serve. It's a testament to the eternal Semper Fidelis spirit. Learn More To dive deeper into this powerful story, I encourage you to visit chashenry.com/fujifire to learn more about Chas Henry's investigative work and his dedication to honoring Marine Corps history. Thank you, Chas, for joining me and sharing your insights, and thank you to everyone who continues to remember and honor our brothers and sisters in arms. Semper Fidelis.
