What is Freedom? The human spirit at its core seeks two opposing ideals; to be free from the influence of others, yet to be part of a community of like-minded people. Journalist and Best-Selling Author Sebastian Junger joins Fran Racioppi live from the 2023 Sandlot Jax and GORUCK Games to share how his new #1 New York Times Best-Selling book Freedom is exploring this simple, yet complex ideal of the human character. Through a 400-mile trip along Pennsylvania's Amtrak line, Sebastian chronicles the nuances of human nature's plight to forge their own path, while remaining reliant on the resources of their communities and government.

Why is nutritional discipline so hard? Seriously? Most of us already know what healthy food and healthy eating habits look like. But why do we quit, or never even start, on our eating plan before almost anything else along our journey towards physical, mental and emotional well-being? Nutritional strategist Dr. Mike Roussell joins Fran Racioppi live from the Sandlot Jax Fitness Festival and the 2nd Annual GORUCK Games to explain why we quit on nutrition well before we quit on exercise itself. They explore his strategy around the mental aspect of nutrition, the psychology of cravings, hedonic hunger, and all the things that keep us from maintaining nutritional discipline. More importantly, he reminds us how simple and uncomplicated proper nutrition can really be if we're just willing to commit to it; even if it's not perfect. From a performance perspective, what we put into our body is often the final few details that separates the good from the great, so take a listen or watch their conversation, then make a few different decisions to improve your nutritional discipline.

“Objective Secure” doesn't mean the mission is complete; it means one milestone has been unlocked and it's time to prepare for the next one. Whether you're a Green Beret or just trying to navigate life, your mission is going to be achieved by securing one objective after another along your path to achieve your goals. To close out day one of 2023 Sandlot Jax & GORUCK Games, Fran Racioppi is joined by Green Beret Nick Lavery; the first above the knee amputee to return to combat on a Special Forces Team and the author of Objective Secure. In this sunset discussion Nick shares his perspective on persistence in the face of failure and success, and why periods of pain and discomfort are opportunities to excel. Nick comes to grips with the decisions he made balancing rapport with complacency that resulted in the insider attack in which he lost his leg when an Afghan partner opened fire on his team. He shares his recovery story and how the small goals he set for himself along created the path to his return to full combat duty; something no other Green Beret had been able to achieve. And he shares why we need our own personal versions of “the dungeon;” the place we go to focus and put in the hard work to achieve our goals.

America's leadership is more politically divided and divisive than almost anytime in our nation's history. We sit at a generational and societal crossroad that will require leaders of courage, unity and vision to emerge and take charge in the best interest of the country; not for their own fame and fortune. +More Perfect Union Founder and CEO Jake Harriman spent years abroad solving world hunger and the effects of violent extremism, only to return home to a divided America; something this US Marine has vowed to change. Jake joins Fran Racioppi in the back of the 1944 Dodge live from Sandlot Jax & GORUCK Games 2023 for a conversation on the state of America today, and why he thinks military Veteran leadership in politics is the key to unifying the fabric of America. Fran and Jake dive deep into the driving factors for disunity, such as social media, generational change, and the loss of agency in our leaders who have too often become beholden to the extremes, forgetting about the 70% of the population who live in the center. Jake defines the perfect centrist leader and Fran presses him on how everyday Veterans with a passion for change can overcome the funding and support barriers to entry to jump into political races nationwide.Learn more about +More Perfect Union on the web and on social media.

DJ Fox (@dee_jay_fox) is an ultra endurance athlete, coach, and the 2022 World's Toughest Mudder Champion. He was also invited to compete in the 2023 GORUCK Games, and is constantly seeking new athletic and performance challenges to conquer. DJ left his home and job in New York to move to the mountains in Colorado full time to pursue the life of a professional endurance athlete. And since then, there's been no turning back. The grit and determination required to be at DJ's level is matched with his precision and methodology in preparation for such grueling and complicated events. We spoke a lot about what it takes to compete at these events, how he handles his preparation, overcoming the variety of obstacles that come up along the way and the multitude of insights he's learned from going all in on this dream. The biggest takeaway from this conversation comes near the end of the discussion - a challenge to fully commit to your dreams. Take inspiration from DJ, and go get it. Be sure to follow DJ on IG to keep up (if you can ;)) with everything he's got going on and for an inside look at his process. The best way to support the podcast is to share the episode with a friend.
