The Croatian-born drone pilot with the Ukrainian military, is also an engineer and businessman, and is the founder of Omira AI — a company that specializes in counter-EW communications technology. Ken and Jack are also joined by FTCN regular guest, retired USAF Colonel, author and journalist, Jeffrey Fischer.Jack tells Ken that his approach to electronic warfare was born from what he saw as a volunteer for the Ukrainian army. Jack's experience as a drone pilot and engineer before the conflict allowed him to step into the front lines of the Russo-Ukrainian war. But it's what Jack saw during a Russian artillery bombardment of Ukrainian forces that led to a new understanding of the conflict: the Ukrainian military needs better EW tools to do the job.To learn more about today's topics or to stay updated on EMSO and EW developments, visit our homepage.We also invite you to share your thoughts, questions, or suggestions for future episodes by emailing host Ken Miller at host@fromthecrowsnest.org.

John Hosey, Chief of Cyber and Commandant of Army Cyber School, tells Ken that the Army began producing soldiers with cyber training in 2008 – very new in the military world. He says one of their points of focus now is to improve the ability of the Army to reprogram their kit to change their tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) as threats evolve.Col. Leslie Gorman explains to Ken that her role as the Army Capability manager for EW is to help the Army, as a retired general officer told her last year, “own the EMS like [the Army] owned the night in the 1980s.” Col.

On this lively episode of Podcast Network Sandbox's “Random Fit,” hosts Wendy Batts and Ken Miller dive into an unexpectedly trendy topic: the health, fitness, and environmental benefits of seaweed. Inspired by Wendy's son's curiosity at the grocery store, the duo unpacks everything you never knew you wanted to know about this ocean-grown superfood. Wendy and Ken kick things off by discussing seaweed's booming industry—did you know seaweed farming is growing at 7% annually and requires no pesticides or fresh water? Ken brings his personal experiences to the table, sharing his love for seaweed salad and its popularity across Asian cultures, while Wendy, ever the skeptic, admits she's still on the fence with the flavor. Beyond the taste debate, the co-hosts highlight seaweed's impressive nutritional profile. Rich in vitamins A, C, E, K, and B-complex, as well as vital minerals like calcium and magnesium, seaweed offers much more than a crunchy snack. The conversation explores its cardiovascular, digestive, and metabolic benefits, making a compelling case for fitness professionals and health enthusiasts alike. But it's not all rainbows: Ken cautions listeners to be mindful of sourcing due to potential ocean contaminants. Plus, they share practical tips and meal ideas for integrating seaweed into your diet—whether you're a foodie or a reluctant first-timer.

If there's one key piece of advice I'd give to anyone in business or entrepreneurship, it's to beware of the tyranny of the now—the intense pressure of immediate problems like a lost contract, a team member leaving, or an unexpected crisis. These challenges feel overwhelming in the moment, but they are temporary. Don't let short-term pain lead to emotional decisions that could harm your long-term vision. Instead, stay focused on why you started—your original dream, belief, and purpose. The present will pass, but your future is still in your hands. Handle the moment, but don't let it define you.

From the Streets to Significance: Ken's Incredible Journey of Redemption In this powerful episode, I sit down with Ken—a remarkable individual whose life journey redefines perseverance, transformation, and the human spirit. Born into hardship as the son of a teenage runaway and a pimp in New York City, Ken's early years were marked by instability, foster care, and adoption. Despite earning his way to Dartmouth and achieving academic success, he faced a decades-long battle with addiction, homelessness, and multiple felony convictions. But Ken's story doesn't end in darkness. In September 2024, he proudly celebrated 20 years of sobriety. Now a thriving business owner, Ken channels his energy into uplifting others and paying it forward. The Turning Point: Choosing Growth Over a Life Sentence Ken opens up about his time in prison, sharing a raw and honest perspective on the prison system, recovery, and the choices that can change everything. He identifies three common paths among inmates and the pivotal mindset shift that ultimately saved his life. During his third incarceration, Ken committed to rebuilding every part of himself—mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. That commitment led him to a halfway house, a dedicated sponsor, and the intentional decision to reconnect with society in a meaningful way. "Becoming Ken": A Story of Hope, Healing, and Humanity Ken's book, Becoming Ken, is more than a memoir—it's a blueprint for transformation. We dive into the book's core themes: understanding personal motivation, embracing pain as a teacher, and the critical importance of self-awareness and growth. Writing this book was no small feat, and Ken's transparency about the process is both inspiring and empowering for anyone facing life's hard chapters. Hard Truths, Bold Choices, and a Call to Action Ken and I also unpack the importance of courage in making life-altering decisions. He reminds us that pain isn't something to avoid—it's something to navigate. And when you face it head-on, healing becomes possible. Ken urges listeners to seek support, make bold choices, and above all, give back. His book launch is right around the corner, and he welcomes anyone who wants to learn more or connect directly.

In this episode, Sean and Kyle dive into the evolving nature of independence, especially in the context of disability and life transitions. Kyle shares his journey toward hiring a personal care attendant (PCA) and how his perception of needing help has changed over time. The discussion explores the fine line between dependence and empowerment, emphasizing that asking for help can actually lead to greater freedom, not less. From navigating accessibility challenges at home to managing daily tasks with tools like a backpack or a well-placed handrail, they break down how small adjustments can make a huge impact on self-sufficiency.The conversation also touches on the emotional complexities of receiving assistance, the language around offering help, and how external perceptions can shape personal identity.

To wrap things up, they express gratitude to those who have supported them in big and small ways.
