Some conversations stay with me long after they end, and this is one of them. I had the opportunity to sit down with Justin Breen for a thoughtful discussion about resilience, intuition, healing, and what it really means to keep moving forward when life completely changes. Justin shares how growing up with a World War II hero as his father shaped his perspective, why he believes many visionaries feel misunderstood, and how his own journey through entrepreneurship, loss, and personal transformation led him to a deeper understanding of purpose. We also explore guide dogs, fear, 9/11, artificial intelligence, and the importance of listening to your heart instead of getting trapped in overthinking. I believe you will find this conversation both thought-provoking and encouraging, especially if you're searching for meaning, healing, or a new way to look at life's greatest challenges. Highlights: 00:53 - Why choosing hard challenges builds resilience. 11:18 - Why many visionaries feel misunderstood. 20:29 - How resilience keeps you moving forward. 31:10 - Why trusting your intuition matters. 42:22 - Why healing yourself comes first. 58:27 - How AI reflects the person using it. About the Guest: Justin Breen's next book*, Epic Journey*, will feature an introduction from Dr. Deepak Chopra. The book also will be turned into a documentary with star actor Gary Sinise providing the narration. Breen also is Co-Founder of Corvia.AI, an education platform that teaches participants how to create songs using artificial intelligence. Breen's second book, Epic Life, featured a foreword from Dr. Peter Diamandis and has been the No. 1 overall book for sales on Amazon Kindle. It also made the Wall Street Journal and USA Today Bestseller lists. Ways to connect with Justin**:** Apply to join Epic F.I.T.

Gary Sinise on America's 250th, the cost of freedom, honoring those who serve in our armed forces, and more. Plus, the best of World Over interviews with two late, great American heroes, Lt. Gen. Hal Moore, and US Navy Rear Adm. Jeremiah Denton.
Welcome to Day 1 of American Ground Radio's 10th Annual Fourth of July Special — What Makes America Great — with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. We're celebrating America's 250th birthday with some of the most inspiring voices in the country. We kick things off with country music legend Clint Black, who calls the Constitution America's greatest gift — not because it created a perfect nation, but because the framers built in the wisdom to know they weren't perfect and gave the people the tools to correct course. He reflects on John Adams making those horseback rides from Boston to Philadelphia at an age Clint was when he was reading about it — knowing the punishment for failure was death — and what that kind of courage means to the rest of us. Then Joe Piscopo — Frank Sinatra's vice chairman of the board — joins us from New Jersey, talking about his grandfather's manifest on the German freighter that brought him to Ellis Island, his father fighting for the United States Army Air Corps in World War II, and why every morning on the radio he feels like he's on a mission in their name to keep the legacy of this country alive. Singer-songwriter Don McLean, author of American Pie, tells us about falling in love with an Israeli woman, living outside Tel Aviv while he could hear the Iran-Iraq War a hundred miles away, and coming home to America thinking — we have no idea how safe we are here. He also tells us about a new documentary on the making of American Pie and his brand new album American Boys. Mattress Mack — Jim McIngvale of Gallery Furniture in Houston — gives us the three-word formula he's lived by his whole life: late to bed, early to rise, work like hell and advertise. He talks about opening his furniture store as a shelter during Houston floods and hurricanes, about a man who spent six years in Angola Penitentiary and is now one of his best employees, and about why the Judeo-Christian work ethic is the foundation of everything he's built. He also shares that in 1900, the average American household had 10.5 people. Today it's under two. And one, he says, is the loneliest number. Gary Sinise — Lieutenant Dan himself, founder of the Gary Sinise Foundation, author of Grateful American — talks about standing at the DMZ between North and South Korea and staring into the eyes of a North Korean guard who has never known freedom, and what that does to your appreciation for everything the men and women who serve under our flag have given us. He also shares that the 30th anniversary of Forrest Gump is coming up on July 6th. Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson join us to talk about their 23rd annual Fourth of July family gathering — a tradition they started as young newlyweds so their children would always have a reason to come home — and what it means now that those children have children of their own. Teri talks about the new urgency she feels as a patriot, the sense that this 250-year experiment is teetering, and why that makes the celebration more important, not less. Pastor Robert Jeffress of First Baptist Church in Dallas opens with the observation that Benjamin Franklin — a deist who didn't believe God intervened in human affairs — stood at the Constitutional Convention and said, the longer I live, the more I'm convinced God governs the affairs of men. He also makes a sober point that America has no biblical promise of eternal endurance the way Israel does — and that our future depends entirely on our response to God's call to repentance. And Dr. Carol Swain — one of 12 children who grew up in poverty in the rural South, dropped out of school after eighth grade, and went on to earn a Ph.D. and become a university professor — says it was the people who made her great, many of them white men who saw something in her worth believing in. She says the most positive indoctrination in the world is being told you live in the greatest country on earth and that hard work will get you somewhere — and she credits not being exposed to critical race theory and victimology as part of why she was able to succeed. Throughout the special, we return to the central truth that runs through every one of these interviews — America doesn't manufacture greatness. It unleashes it. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

Cathy and Todd discuss Apollo 13 (1995) for Space Month, Ron Howard's docudrama starring Tom Hanks, Kevin Bacon, Bill Paxton, Gary Sinise, and Ed Harris, based on the true story of NASA’s near-disastrous 1970 lunar mission. The film was nominated for nine Academy Awards and grossed over $355 million worldwide, cementing its place as one of the great survival stories ever put on screen. They discuss the complicated legacies of the astronauts, the emotional devastation of the wives left behind, and why the most famous line in the film isn’t what anyone actually said.

Stay connected with us at americangroundradio.com, on Facebook, and Instagram. You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for May 4, 2026. We open with a clip that demands an answer — Tennessee State Representative Justin Pearson went on national television and called President Trump a white supremacist domestic terrorist. We play the clip, we break down what those words actually mean in their legal and historical context, and we ask the question nobody on the left wants to answer — if you genuinely believe the president is a domestic terrorist, what is the logical conclusion of that belief? We connect the rhetoric directly to the pattern of political violence that has now produced multiple assassination attempts, explain why people who spend years calling someone Hitler and a terrorist cannot then claim surprise when someone acts on that logic, and make the case that this is not hyperbole anymore — it is an environment that is getting people killed. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, Iran broke the ceasefire — attacking an oil pipeline in the United Arab Emirates that would have allowed the UAE to bypass the Strait of Hormuz and ship oil to the world independently. The UAE called it a dangerous escalation and reserved the right to respond. CENTCOM destroyed six Iranian fast boats attacking U.S. ships in the strait. The bombing is probably coming back. Then the Supreme Court allowed abortion drugs to continue shipping across state lines for now — staying the Fifth Circuit's ruling banning cross-state mifepristone shipments until May 11th while Louisiana and other states respond to the Court's questions. And Alabama and Tennessee have called special legislative sessions to redraw their congressional maps following the Supreme Court's ruling on racial gerrymandering — which combined with Louisiana's ongoing redistricting could give Republicans five more seats this fall. Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle a fascinating question — can you tell who is going to grow up to be a millionaire? We dig into the ADHD and autism connection to entrepreneurial success, why people with ADHD often can't focus on the mundane but will obsess on a problem with a ferocity nobody else can match, why Teri's experience interviewing millionaires for her magazine showed a consistent pattern, why the five people you spend the most time around shape your economic trajectory, and why medicating the superpower out of your kid might be the most expensive parenting mistake you'll ever make. We also cover the 68% of National Guard and Reserve forces classified as overweight — and the nearly $1 billion the military has spent on Ozempic and GLP-1 weight loss medications since 2021. We discuss whether medication is a legitimate tool for readiness or a workaround for a standard that should be enforced directly, and what it means that we are going to war with the army we have. We dig deep into Representative Rashida Tlaib's proposed Unhoused Persons Bill of Rights — a bill that would create federally protected rights for homeless Americans including the right to public spaces, freedom of movement, health care, housing, a livable wage, and education. We go through the bill section by section and explain the fundamental philosophical error at its core — that if the government has to provide it, it is not a right, it is a redistribution. Real rights come from the creator and require nothing from anyone else. The moment someone else has to labor to give you your right, you have taken their rights away. We also note that the bill proposes to end the homeless crisis by 2027 — and ask why, if that's achievable by government declaration, they need a permanent bill of rights for people who won't exist in a year. We also cover Los Angeles considering whether to allow noncitizens to vote in local elections — while simultaneously exploring ways to strip voting rights from Palisades fire victims who no longer have a physical address in the city because their house burned down. We call it what it is. We address Jimmy Kimmel's joke about Rudy Giuliani — made days before Giuliani was hospitalized in critical condition — and why jokes about people's mortality and decline aren't comedy. They're contempt wearing a punchline. For our Bright Spot, Stephen Colbert's last days on air produced one genuinely beautiful moment — Jimmy Fallon and Colbert singing the national anthem a cappella in harmony from memory on Colbert's final shows. We celebrate it — and note that if people on the left love this country enough to memorize the harmony on the Star-Spangled Banner, there is still hope. And we preview the Memorial Day concert on the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol hosted by Joe Mantegna and Gary Sinise — a solemn reminder that Memorial Day is not a three-day weekend. It is the day we honor those who gave the last full measure of devotion. And we close with Secretary of State Marco Rubio — who, according to social media, has now been given every job in the world by President Trump — spinning records as the DJ at a family wedding.

"I wasn't processing and dealing with my own stuff. Somehow I made my way back to storytelling. And that was really, if I could point to two things—my wife and story—those pulled me out." — Ret. Lt. Col. Scott MannScott Mann spent nearly two decades as a Green Beret, but the most powerful weapon he ever wielded was his story.In this episode, Scott breaks down rooftop leadership, the concept he coined in Afghanistan after watching storytelling and human connection turn frightened villagers into fighters. What he learned on those rooftops became the foundation for everything he now teaches about leadership, trust, and the courage to be relatable.After leaving the military, Scott hit rock bottom, standing in his closet holding a pistol, lost and without purpose. Storytelling pulled him out.Now he's an author, playwright, and the founder of a nonprofit helping veterans and first responders find their voice. His book The Generosity of Scars and his one-man shows Last Out and 11 Days are taking that message across the country and onto stages where veterans and civilians sit side by side and finally make sense of things together.If you've ever wondered whether your story is worth telling, Scott Mann's answer is clear: it was never about you in the first place.In this episode, you will learn to:Use storytelling as a trust-building tool in any high-stakes, low-trust environmentDistinguish between vulnerability for its own sake and relatability as an intentional, powerful communication strategyUnderstand what "autobiographical listening" means and why it explains how stories move people to actionOwn your story rather than let it own you by working through it in the service of othersRecognize that your scars are not your wounds—they are your most generous gift to the people who need to hear themFollow Scott Mann: Website → https://www.scottmann.comInstagram → https://www.instagram.com/greenberetscottmannBooks → The Generosity of Scars (out May 12th) and Operation Pineapple Express by Scott MannPlays → Last Out: Elegy of a Green Beret and 11 Days: The Story of Operation Pineapple ExpressNonprofit → Task Force PineappleProgram → Take the Mic (storytelling coaching)People Referenced: Steven Pressfield, Bo Eason, Dr. Diego Hernandez, Gary Sinise, Daniel Coyle, Daniel PinkFor more storytelling tips and strategies, visit:Website → https://rainbennett.comPodcast → https://thestorytellinglabpodcast.comOr follow along at:TikTok → https://www.tiktok.com/@chiefstorytellingofficerTwitter/X → https://twitter.com/rainbennettInstagram → https://www.instagram.com/rainbennettFacebook → https://www.facebook.com/thestorytellinglabYouTube → https://www.youtube.com/@RainBennett Hosted on Acast.

President Trump says the U.S. is negotiating with Iran while claiming the United States is “way ahead of schedule” with military operations against the regime. However, questions are mounting in Washington over whether the military has the funding and weaponry needed to successfully end the conflict while maintaining readiness for other potential global threats. Texas GOP Congressman and retired U.S. Air Force Reserve Colonel August Pfluger joins the Rundown to discuss the president's handling of the operation and the Air Force's pivotal role. He also explains what must be done to ensure the U.S. military has the munitions and personnel necessary to fight this conflict—and future wars. Award-winning actor Gary Sinise, famously known for his role as Lieutenant Dan in Forrest Gump, has devoted decades of his life to helping veterans, first responders, and their families. But his passion for honoring those who served our country—especially the young Americans who went to Vietnam—began long before he portrayed that iconic character. Sinise joins FOX News Senior Correspondent Benjamin Hall to discuss a lifetime of advocacy for the nation's defenders, from his early support for Vietnam veterans in the 1980s to the upcoming 15th anniversary of the Gary Sinise Foundation. Sinise reflects on the "turning point" of 9/11 that accelerated his mission and shares the impact of building over 100 specially adapted, mortgage-free smart homes for severely wounded service members. Plus, they look ahead to a major "Welcome Home" celebration in D.C. for National Vietnam War Veterans Day, as Sinise explains why it is never too late to say "thank you" to those who never received a proper welcome home.

The Entrepreneur's Anxiety Problem: Why Money Won't Fix Your Broken Heart with Justin Breen Why Money Won't Fix Your Broken Heart Justin Breen has built successful companies, achieved financial success, and reached the pinnacle of what society tells us to chase. Then he walked away from it all. Why? Because he realized money won't fix a broken heart, and scaling your business without healing first might actually be making things worse. In this conversation, Justin challenges everything we've been taught about success, leadership, and what actually matters for business owners and entrepreneurs. Key Learning Insights The Word "Business" Literally Means Anxiety The etymology of common business words reveals uncomfortable truths. "Business" comes from the Latin "bisignus" meaning anxiety. When you scale your business, you're scaling your anxiety. Understanding this fundamental construct can shift how you approach growth. Money Beyond Basic Needs Doesn't Increase Happiness Once your basics are covered (food, shelter, safety), additional income doesn't change your happiness or fulfillment. Justin has experienced years of significant income and realized it meant nothing to his actual well-being. This liberates entrepreneurs to stop chasing money as the answer to internal problems. Parents Talk AT Their Children Instead of WITH Them The breakdown in family communication mirrors the breakdown in business leadership. When parents (and leaders) don't listen with presence and eye contact, children disconnect from their feelings and learn to hide their authentic selves. Love for children is spelled T-I-M-E: presence and connection. Your Heart Is More Powerful Than Your Brain Entrepreneurs are conditioned to live in their heads, overthinking everything. But the heart knows what the brain cannot access. True innovation and leadership come from feeling leading with thinking supporting, not the reverse. When you lead from your heart instead of your anxiety, everything changes. Breaking Free From Social Conditioning Is Lonely But Necessary "For a select few, there is a determination to seek liberation from social hypnosis." Once you see that the world is scaling anxiety and things that don't make people happy, you can't unsee it. This awareness is isolating, but it's also the only path to genuine change and higher consciousness. Why This Conversation Matters This conversation matters because most business owners are building companies while their hearts are broken. They're scaling anxiety instead of scaling purpose. They're passing their unhealed trauma to their teams, their families, and the next generation. Justin's willingness to talk openly about his journey through the dark night of the soul, his divorce, the dissolution of companies, and his commitment to healing provides permission for other leaders to ask the hard question: "What am I actually building, and who am I becoming in the process?" Without this conversation, business owners continue the cycle of external achievement masking internal emptiness. Money And Fulfillment Insights Money is energy, not the answer. Justin has made significant money and lived a successful lifestyle. His conclusion after years of pursuit: material gains don't solve internal problems. The irony is that many entrepreneurs chase money specifically to heal something inside themselves or prove their worth. But you can't buy your way out of a broken heart. Once your basic needs are met, the pursuit of more money becomes a mask for deeper issues. Business owners need to ask themselves: "Am I chasing money to solve an internal problem money can never touch?" This reframing liberates entrepreneurs to build companies from authentic purpose rather than fear and lack. Key Takeaway The most important business decision you'll ever make isn't about revenue, profit margins, or market share. It's about deciding whether you're going to lead from your healed heart or from your unhealed wounds. Everything flows from that choice. Your company culture flows from it. Your team's engagement flows from it. Your children's relationship with success flows from it. The world's consciousness flows from it. Before you scale anything else, heal yourself first. Because when you do, everything else transforms. Bio Justin Breen's next book, Epic Journey, will feature an introduction from Dr. Deepak Chopra. The book also will be turned into a documentary with star actor Gary Sinise providing the narration. Breen also is Co-Founder of Corvia.AI, an education platform that teaches participants how to create songs using artificial intelligence, and AURUM, a healing sanctuary for visionaries. Breen's second book, Epic Life, featured a foreword from Dr. Peter Diamandis and has been the No. 1 overall book for sales on Amazon Kindle. It also made the Wall Street Journal and USA Today Bestseller lists.

This week on Forgotten Cinema, the Mikes revisit "Reindeer Games" (2000), a late-90s/early-2000s crime thriller that lands squarely in the “fine, but flawed” category.Both Butler and Field agree the movie is watchable, but just barely. The plot quickly starts to unravel, relying on Ben Affleck's character, Rudy and our villain, played by Gary Sinise, to make a series of frustratingly dumb decisions. The central twist involving the true mastermind only makes things worse, hinging on an absurd amount of coincidence and lucky timing to work at all.That said, the performances help keep the film afloat, and the sheer ridiculousness of the story becomes part of its charm. The noir-inspired style, snowy setting, and hard-boiled attitude actually work in the film's favor, giving it a vibe that's more enjoyable than the script probably deserves.So while "Reindeer Games" never quite comes together as a smart thriller, it remains a curious, messy entry from its era that's easy enough to watch if your expectations are set appropriately.What's your favorite holiday action/thriller (that isn't "Die Hard")? Let us know in the comments!

What if real success is measured not by what you achieve, but by how deeply you give?On today's episode, we sit down with Gary Sinise—Emmy Award–winning actor and director best known for his roles in Forrest Gump, Apollo 13, and CSI: New York, and founder of the Gary Sinise Foundation—to explore his lifelong arc from self to service.Gary takes us back to the accidental spark of belonging he found in high school theater, the early days building Steppenwolf, and the quiet battle with inadequacy that forged a bias for action and leadership. We trace how portraying Lieutenant Dan in Forrest Gump became an inflection point—culminating in a life-altering moment on stage with 2,000 wounded veterans—and how 9/11 transformed his work into a full-fledged mission to support service members and their families.Gary also opens a tender window into his home front: his wife's battle with breast cancer and his late son Mac's courageous 5½-year fight with chordoma. He shares how showing up—again and again—became a practice, a purpose, and a way through grief.In this conversation, you'll learn:How to turn inadequacy into action—and why a bias toward doing builds real confidenceThe key to shifting from achievement to contribution without losing your driveHow to lead with presence when others seem steps aheadWhy purpose expands through loss—and how faith, family, and service hold the lineWhat it means to show up as a caregiver and “battle buddy” through life's hardest seasonsHow to transform creativity into service—and why art can be an act of healingIf you're craving a reminder that meaning is made in the moments we choose to serve, especially when it's hard, then this conversation will move you.__________________________________________________________Links & ResourcesSubscribe to our YouTube Channel for more conversations at the intersection of high performance, leadership, and wellbeing: https://www.youtube.com/c/FindingMasteryGet exclusive discounts and support our amazing sponsors!
