Podcasts about Marine

This week on the Black Rifle Coffee Podcast, Logan Stark sits down with Marine veteran, conservationist, and hunting guide James Nash. Raised on a remote ranch in Oregon and shaped by war in Iraq, James brings an unmatched perspective on life, death, and everything in between. He dives deep into the burdens of leadership in combat, how the outdoors can heal what war breaks, and why real masculinity is rooted in humility and responsibility. From bowhunting ethics to battlefield decision-making, this is a masterclass in manhood, purpose, and living with intention.

On this episode of The Jon Gordon Podcast, I'm joined by Jill Schulman, author, former Marine, and a true thought leader on the psychology of bravery. Jill just released her powerful new book, The Bravery Effect, and together we dive deep into what it really means to be brave in today's world. We get personal right away, exploring the difference between bravery and courage, and why Jill believes bravery is a muscle we can all train. She shares both personal stories and groundbreaking research, like how action in the face of fear is what actually builds confidence, not the other way around. We talk about real-life moments where facing discomfort leads to growth, plus the common myth that brave people are simply fearless (spoiler: nobody is, and that's not the goal). Jill opens up about her time as a Marine and what it taught her about facing hard things, from grueling physical tests to being told she'd never make it, then proving everyone wrong. We unpack why our culture too often mistakes comfort for happiness, and how true fulfillment comes from doing the hard, brave thing even when we're scared. Jill also reveals how overprotecting our kids can accidentally undermine their resilience, and offers science-backed, practical strategies for developing everyday bravery. There's plenty here for parents, leaders, students and honestly anyone ready to step into something new or challenging. We even walk through a real-world scenario, breaking down how someone can approach a tough conversation with courage and grace, and what it means to build your own “brave tribe” of supporters. If you've ever wondered how to be braver, how to help others face their fears, or why it matters now more than ever, you'll love this conversation. Tune in and take Jill's free bravery assessment at https://www.jillschulman.com/jongordon, then get ready to take your own brave next step. About Jill, Jill Schulman is a former U.S. Marine Corps Officer, leadership development expert, and founder of Breakthrough Leadership Group. She has dedicated her career to studying and teaching the science of bravery, resilience, and peak performance—drawing on psychology, neuroscience, and behavioral science to create evidence-based strategies that help people and teams thrive. Her newest book, The Bravery Effect, distills years of research and real-world experience into practical tools for developing courageous mindsets, taking bold action, and building brave relationships. Guided by her motto, “Courage over regret,” Jill is passionate about empowering others to embrace discomfort, grow through challenges, and stop letting fear hold them back. Known for blending grit and curiosity with equal parts joy and discipline, Jill believes the world needs more courage and fewer excuses. Outside of work, she's often hiking in Southern California, lifting at the gym, reading Stoic philosophy, or spending time with her husband of 20+ years and their two daughters.

Pacific Islands Heritage Marine National Monument: For over a decade, these waters stood as one of the largest no-take zones on Earth, safeguarding corals, fish, and migratory species. But on day one of his presidency, Donald Trump erased the U.S. commitment to 30x30 and soon after issued Proclamation 10918, opening parts of the monument to commercial fishing. Marine conservation at risk: The rollback sparked lawsuits and reignited the debate over whether U.S. marine protections are too vulnerable to political swings. Just two weeks ago, a court overturned Trump's proclamation on a technicality, reclosing the area to fishing. In this episode, we break down what happened, what's at stake, and how the U.S. can rebuild trust in its marine conservation commitments. The future of 30x30: We explore the tension between conservation science, fishing industry pressure, and fragile presidential protections. The conversation highlights why codifying protections into law may be the only way forward to safeguard biodiversity hotspots like Wake, Johnston, and Jarvis.

Adrian shares insights from his military background and current homesteading lifestyle, emphasizing how early morning routines create space for prayer, physical fitness, and productivity before the demands of family life take over.Food and water preparation take center stage as the pair discuss practical approaches to building security without breaking the bank. From incrementally building a three-month food supply to understanding water storage requirements beyond the bare minimum FEMA recommendations, listeners gain actionable advice they can implement immediately. Adrian's experience raising livestock and growing food provides real-world context to these discussions, offering inspiration for those looking to move beyond mere storage toward sustainable production.What sets this conversation apart is its balanced approach to security. While firearms receive thoughtful consideration, the hosts emphasize that physical self-defense skills must precede weapons training, challenging common misconceptions in the preparedness community. Their PACE (Primary, Alternate, Contingency, Emergency) communications planning framework provides families with a structured approach to staying connected during disruptions of any scale.Whether you're just beginning to think about preparedness or looking to refine your existing plans, this episode offers a refreshingly grounded, faith-compatible perspective on building family resilience in uncertain times.

Join the Veterans Breakfast Club for an unforgettable conversation with Marine veteran and author Brennan Morton, whose acclaimed memoir Valhalla Boys: Marine Recon Sniper in Iraq is being hailed as one of the most powerful and literary war memoirs of the post-9/11 generation. Valhalla Boys isn't your typical “boots-on-the-ground” war story. It's a raw, reflective, and often poetic meditation on combat, brotherhood, and the darkness that war leaves behind. Drawing comparisons to Tim O'Brien, Kurt Vonnegut, and Joseph Heller, Morton invites readers not just into the battlefield, but into the mind of a Marine Recon sniper struggling to make sense of a war with no clear front lines—and no clear purpose. In this live conversation, Brennan will share his journey from book-loving kid to Marine, from warfighter to writer, and from battlefield survivor to memoirist. He'll discuss the emotional toll of his two deployments in Iraq, the bonds forged in training and tested in combat, and the haunting question that echoes through every page of his book: Was it worth it? We'll hear the stories behind the stories—what it meant to patrol the streets of Iraq during the height of the insurgency, the grief of losing half his platoon, the moment he nearly pulled the trigger on a four-year-old child, and how writing became a form of healing after returning home. This program is for anyone seeking to understand what military service can do to the soul—veterans, family members, readers of war literature, and citizens trying to grasp the human cost of conflict. Valhalla Boys is available now from Casemate Publishers, Amazon, and Barnes & Noble.

Marine animals are full of fascinating quirks. Did you know that some species, like dolphins and whales, never truly fall asleep? Instead, they rest one half of their brain at a time while the other stays awake to keep them swimming and breathing. Octopuses are masters of camouflage, capable of changing both their color and texture to blend seamlessly with their surroundings. Sharks have a super sense called electroreception, allowing them to detect electrical signals given off by other animals, even those hidden in the sand. Sea turtles can navigate thousands of miles across the ocean and return to the same beach where they hatched using Earth's magnetic field as a guide. Learn more about your ad choices.

By early 1945, the Pacific war had reached a turning point. The United States held the Marianas. From there, B-29 bombers struck directly at Japan, but the road to Tokyo was still dangerous.  Halfway along that road lay Iwo Jima, a tiny volcanic island of black sand, jagged rock, and sulfur fumes. On the map it looked insignificant, but its location gave it enormous weight. For Japan, it was part of Tokyo Prefecture itself, “the doorkeeper to the capital.” For America, it was both a threat and an opportunity: a fighter base that could harass bombers, or an emergency airfield that could save them. General Kuribayashi was ordered to turn Iwo Jima into a fortress. Beneath its surface, his men carved miles of tunnels, pillboxes, and gun positions, prepared to fight to the death. This episode tells the story of that buildup. The strategy, the doubts, the Japanese preparations, and the weight that fell on every Marine the night before the landings. ************* Visit HistoryoftheMarineCorps.com to subscribe to our newsletter, explore episode notes and images, and see our references.

What happens when a young Marine pulls night guard duty in the snowy mountains of Bridgeport, California — and ends up face-to-face with something massive, breathing, and alive in the moonlit tree line? In this gripping episode of the Bigfoot Society Podcast, Jeremiah Byron hosts a collection of raw, first-hand accounts from across the U.S., recorded live on TikTok.

From the scent of barbecue luring green-eyed giants to a Sasquatch stepping onto a highway in three strides, these are stories you won't hear anywhere else. Prepare for roars, footprints, glowing eyes — and the uneasy feeling of being watched.

Monday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and is ready to help you kick off your workweek. On today's podcast, the guys discussed this week's fishing derby, the Real Life fantasy football league, beer league hockey, and anything else that came about.The guys started the Monday episode of Real Life with a discussion about Tuesday's fishing derby presented by Sherwood Power Sports & Marine. While the boys don't really know what to expect from the derby, the boys are excited to get out on the boat and do what they can to beat our friends at Sherwood Ford. As you'll hear, Chalmers was full of helpful advice for Tyler, who will be making his fishing debut. Shifting gears, Tyler went on a rant about beer league hockey after the cost for playing went up to $13,500 in his league for the 2025-26 season. As you'll hear, it works out to $855 per player, which bothers Tyler because the annual increases seem to get bigger year over year. While beer league is a favourite Tyler pastime, having to chase his teammates for the cash is making his weekly games a little less fun. Finally, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life with a random collection of topics, including Chalmers working through his boys' hockey tryouts, the Real Life fantasy football league, the upcoming Oilersnation Open, and whatever else was coming to mind. As you'll hear, the back half of the podcast was all over the map despite having no prep done ahead of time. Needless to say, trying to map out an episode of Real Life is like trying to lasso a tornado. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In episode 160, I sit down with Marine Corps captain and children's book author, Riley Tejcek, to dive into what it really takes for a veteran to step into the world of publishing. Riley shares her journey from serving as an officer and competing for Team USA as a bobsled pilot, to becoming a children's book author with You Can Dream It, Be It!” published by End Game Press. We dig into how her military experiences — discipline, attention to detail, and resilience — helped her endure the publishing process but also how the military mindset of over-planning almost became an obstacle to finishing the manuscript. Veterans often believe every plan must be airtight before executing, but as Riley explains, creativity rewards bias toward action. If you wait too long to perfect the idea, the impact never reaches the audience. What struck me most in this conversation is how Riley's experience as a Marine officer taught her to lead, focus, and push forward with confidence and how those same traits can easily turn into perfectionism and overthinking when applied to the creative process. We talk about the balance between truth and storytelling, why stepping into the unfamiliar world of children's literature matters for veterans, and how writing offers not just another career outlet but also a way to bridge the military-civilian divide. If you're a veteran who's ever thought about writing, creating, or publishing, this episode is fuel. You'll leave hearing Riley's advice loud and clear: stop planning, start writing, and trust the process. In this episode: •My daughter meets Riley and shares her favorite part of the book •Riley's background as a Marine Corps Captain, Team USA bobsledder, and Division I softball player leading into children's book authorship •The motivation to write a children's book so kids, especially girls, can see female military role models early in life •How much of the book is autobiographical and rooted in her real family and mentors •The military mindset of over-planning versus the creative necessity of acting and writing before things are “perfect” •Lessons from the publishing process: seeking advice, facing rejection, and choosing a publisher over self-publishing •Challenges of collaboration with editors and learning to truly write for children •The impact the book has on both children and their parents, showing how parents serve as everyday role models •Future creative plans, including another children's book focused on deployment and global service Episode Sponsors: VM Merch Go Pills -- use "VM15" at checkout for 15% off your order.

Marine ecologist, Pia Winberg learned how useful seaweed could be for gut health and wound healing. One day she was conducting research by herself in her lab when she had a terrible accident.Pia was four-years-old when she moved from her native Sweden to Australia.She always loved the beach and the coastline. As an adult, Pia became fascinated with the scientific properties of seaweed after visiting a Sri Lankan prawn farm using seaweed to bolster the health of the surrounding environment.She became a marine ecologist in Wollongong south of Sydney, looking at the unique ways seaweed could help clean the ocean and help people with various ailments.In 2015 Pia set up her own seaweed farm, on the edge of an alcohol distillery in the town of Nowra.One day she was emptying seaweed extract from a tank when a large section of her scalp was torn away from her head by a machine.The accident could've killed her if she'd fainted. Instead Pia walked 200 metres from the factory to her office, to tell her staff what had happened.Further information2025 update: Pia has now had six reconstruction surgeries, and seaweed gels have played a huge part in her healing.  Pia explains: using Phyaluronic formulations, which we coined to describe seaweed gels that mimic human tissue, has been transformative in my recovery… I am now 90% reconstructed on top.Originally broadcast July 2019.Learn more about Pia's work with seaweed.More information about Australia's unique seaweed species.This episode was produced by Nicola Harrison.

Former U.S. Marine, whistleblower, and frontline activist Ken O'Keefe  @TJPKenOKeefe  exposes the Israel-Palestine conflict, war propaganda, and state power on episode 214 of the Far Out with Faust podcast.Ken O'Keefe is a former Marine turned human-rights activist known for the Gaza Freedom Flotilla and his daring “human shield” missions in Iraq. For years, he's confronted official narratives on war, sovereignty, and media manipulation — bringing raw firsthand experience and an unapologetic moral compass to some of the most uncomfortable conversations in geopolitics.In this conversation, Faust and Ken get specific about Gaza and the West Bank, how manufactured narratives shape public perception, and why free speech matters when history cuts against the grain. Ken traces his path from combat to dissent, calls out U.S. involvement abroad, argues for state sovereignty — even secession and state-run banks — and makes the case that empathy, love, and the family unit are the ultimate antidotes to a demoralized culture.In this episode:

In this episode of Talking Sleep, host Dr. Seema Khosla welcomes Dr. Greg Burek, a psychiatrist and former Marine, and Dr. Dmitriy Kogan, associate professor of medicine at the Medical College of Wisconsin and program director for the sleep medicine fellowship program, to discuss the unique sleep challenges facing military veterans and first responders. The conversation explores how military and first responder training fundamentally changes individuals, creating an "adrenaline-focused" mindset that profoundly impacts their relationship with sleep and health. Dr. Burek provides insider insights into the stages of military service and the concept of "sacrifice" as a unifying characteristic among veterans, while explaining why many veterans may minimize or dismiss their service experiences. The guests introduce the BRAVE program, an innovative initiative designed specifically for military veterans and first responders to address the "invisible wounds of service"—PTSD and TBI—and their complex interactions with sleep disorders. Unlike traditional VA programs, BRAVE takes a specialized approach to understanding how military culture and experiences create unique sleep medicine challenges. The discussion covers critical clinical topics including insomnia management in veterans, the frequent use of clonidine as a treatment option, REM behavior disorder presentations that may differ from civilian populations, and the intricate relationships between PTSD, TBI, sleep-disordered breathing, and nightmare disorders. The experts address whether these sleep disturbances stem from combat trauma, brain injury, or the military experience itself. This episode provides essential insights for healthcare providers treating veterans, including practical approaches to asking about TBI history, understanding military culture's impact on patient care, and recognizing when specialized referrals may be beneficial. Whether you're a sleep medicine practitioner, mental health professional, or healthcare provider serving veteran populations, this episode offers valuable perspectives on culturally competent care for those who have served. Join us for this enlightening discussion that bridges military culture and sleep medicine to improve care for our veterans and first responders.

À 41 ans, Louis Duc a bouclé le dernier Vendée Globe au terme d'une aventure marquée par la ténacité. De cette expérience fondatrice, le skipper normand confie sans détour la difficulté de s'en remettre, l'amnésie étrange des premières semaines après l'arrivée, et ce besoin irrépressible d'y retourner : « J'ai vécu un truc extraordinaire… mais pas fini ».La carrière de Louis Duc ne ressemble à aucune autre. Né à Cherbourg, élevé à Carteret, il découvre la mer dans un doris de récréation et construit ses rêves dans les pages des magazines. L'école, très peu pour lui : il arrête à 17 ans pour apprendre le composite chez JMV à Cherbourg, puis chez Foncia aux côtés d'Alain Gautier. Il multiplie ensuite les embarquements, achète un mini en épave, le retape, prend le départ de la MiniTransat en 2005, démâte en mer, regrée, arrive à Dakar et revient… embarqué par la Marine nationale ! L'histoire est rocambolesque, mais fonde un style : celui d'un artisan, déterminé et passionné.Ce goût pour les aventures hors-normes le conduit ensuite en Class40, où il monte avec trois associés un projet basé en Normandie avec un bateau d'occasion pendant 3 saisons. Ensemble, ils construisent ensuite en 2017 un bateau neuf et innovant signé Marc Lombard - le premier Lift - , et Louis Duc se retrouve pour la première fois à la tête d'un projet financé et compétitif. Malgré des hauts et des bas – abandon sur la Route du Rhum 2018, 5e place avec Aurélien Ducroz lors de la Transat Jacques Vabre 2019 –, "P'tit Louis", comme on l'appelle, est devenu grand. Malheureusement, lors du convoyage retour, dans un coup de vent proche des Açores, lui et son équipier sont doivent abandonner le bateau...Une épreuve marquante,  mais Louis Duc est tenace et se lance ensuite dans son premier Vendée Globe, sur un bateau reconstruit à partir d'une coque incendiée. Louis boucle l'épreuve, malgré les avaries de voile et les moyens limités. Il en tire un mélange de fierté – "je l'ai fini" – et aussi de frustration – "je pouvais faire mieux". Depuis, il prépare la suite, avec l'envie de passer sur un foiler, mais sans illusion sur la difficulté à financer un projet à 4 ou 5 millions d'euros.Le Vendée Globe 2028 en ligne de mire, Louis Duc incarne une autre voie : celle d'un marin d'artisanat et de convictions, enraciné en Normandie, attaché au collectif, et toujours avide d'apprendre. Un skipper "normal", comme il aime à le dire, mais dont le parcours, lui, ne l'est décidément pas.Diffusé le 22 août 2025Générique : In Closing – Days PastPost-production : Grégoire LevillainHébergé par Ausha.

Discover Lafayette welcomes Paul Eason, founder of Eason Advertising, a marketing and public relations firm based in Lafayette, to share his family history as a member of the Billeaud family. He serves as Chairman of the Board of Directors of Billeaud Companies. A native of Lafayette, Paul graduated from Cathedral-Carmel High School and USL. He has built a successful career in advertising and PR since launching his firm in 1999, representing clients across industries ranging from banks to automotive dealerships. Paul's story, however, is deeply intertwined with the legacy of the Billeaud family. As a descendant of this influential family, Paul has served on the board of Billeaud Companies since 2013 and has chaired the board since 2021. He is the first chairman in the company's history who does not carry the Billeaud name, a point of pride and responsibility. The Billeaud Family Legacy The company's origins began when Pierre Jean Billeaud (1806-1877) and his wife, Rosalie Felicite Grizeau, immigrated to Louisiana with their son, Martial Francois, from Bourgneuf, France in 1840. Pierre made his living as a wheelwright (blacksmith). When Martial was 16 in 1852, he followed in his father's footsteps and established a blacksmith shop near the Vermilion River, on the site presently occupied by the DoubleTree Hotel. In 1872, Martial brought new stalks of sugar cane to the area, purchased a mule driven-cane crushing machine, built a mill and began buying land to start a sugar cane business. The endeavor evolved into Billeaud buying more land and building up the sugar company. Martial Billeaud was the first in his family to begin the history of the Billeaud family's commitment to responsible use of land resources and active involvement in the community. Billeaud Companies can be traced back to 1914, when Martial F. Billeaud, Sr. sold the business to his children. who originally incorporated it into the Billeaud Sugar Factory, Inc. Built upon earlier cane-crushing operations started in the late 19th century, the enterprise grew into a powerhouse of sugar production. Over time, multiple plantations—including Comeaux and Broussard—were consolidated under the umbrella of the company, reflecting its family-driven nature. Martial F. Billeaud, Sr. (1836 - 1916) was the driving force behind the current family-owned Billeaud Companies. The family is proud to have facilitated the building of Martial F. Billeaud Elementary School at 500 E Fairfield Dr, Broussard, LA, on property formerly owned by the company. Paul recalls childhood visits to the factory in Broussard, where the machinery left lasting impressions. The sugar factory had been part of the daily life of his family for generations. "Popie Billeaud jokes that I'm the first chairman of Billeaud Companies that doesn't carry the Billeaud name. As a child, I went to the sugar factory a bunch. In those days, my uncle was running the sugar factory, and as I remember we'd go there to see the them crushing the cane and bringing the cane in and the smokestacks. It was a big operation, located about where Mike's Marine is in Broussard. I knew that I was always going to be involved with Billeaud Companies. We have a swing set in my backyard that was made at the sugar factory and syrup bowl in the front yard. It was always a part of my life." As time went on, and Lafayette and Broussard expanded, economic realities, environmental issues, and federal policy shifts made sugar production less sustainable. In 1979, the sugar factory closed. The company pivoted to land development, real estate, and commercial property investment. This strategic shift—guided in part by longtime CEO James L. “Tex” Plumley—allowed the company to prosper through oil discoveries, building acquisitions, and commercial development. Growth Into Real Estate Development Today, the Billeaud Companies own and manage more than 800,000 square feet of developed property,

In this episode, Guy talked with  Dr. Bruce Greyson, a retired psychiatrist and an author. He discussed the transformative effects of near-death experiences (NDEs). He explained how NDEs profoundly change people's lives, making them more compassionate and less materialistic. Dr. Greyson shared compelling stories, including that of a Marine whose NDE made him unable to continue his military duties. He highlighted the growing recognition of NDEs in the medical community and the need for further research. The episode also delved into Dr. Greyson's personal journey, the scientific challenges in studying NDEs, and the universal message of interconnectedness and compassion. About Bruce: Dr. Bruce Greyson is the Chester Carlson Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences at the University of Virginia.  He was previously on the medical faculty at the University of Michigan and the University of Connecticut, where he was Clinical Chief of Psychiatry. Dr. Greyson has consulted with the National Institutes of Health and addressed symposia on consciousness at the United Nations and at the Dalai Lama's compound in Dharamsala, India. Dr. Greyson's interest in near-death experiences began just a few months after graduating from medical school, when he treated an unconscious patient in the emergency room who stunned him the next morning with an account of leaving her body. That event challenged his beliefs about the mind and the brain, and ultimately led him on a journey to study near-death experiences scientifically, leading to more than a hundred publications in medical journals.  He co-founded the International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS), an organization to support and promote research into these experiences, and for 27 years edited the Journal of Near-Death Studies, the only scholarly journal dedicated to near-death research. Through his research, he has discovered common and universal themes in near-death experiences that go beyond neurophysiological or cultural interpretations, as well as patterns of consistent aftereffects on individuals' attitudes, beliefs, values, and personalities.

Here at D&SD Over the Summer on Wednesdays we will be releasing some of our cool side campaign episodes! This series is called “The Playa Rose” is a western campaign DM'd by our Very own Andrew Kornblatt.  Meanwhile, in Liberty Bluff... While chaos unfolds at the homestead, Consuela and Morgan investigate the mysterious death of Floyd Davis in Liberty Bluff. Their search for his widow leads them to the sheriff's office, where they find Sheriff Scelop - a rotund, incompetent iguana-man - snoring face-down at his desk beside an empty whiskey bottle. After convincing the flustered sheriff they represent financial interests regarding Floyd, they're directed to the Davis-Bluff house with a request to tell the widow to stop "rabble rousing." The Victorian-style house with its curated native plant garden seems larger inside than out, unnaturally cool and dark despite the desert heat. They meet the surly but welcoming housemaid Miss Margery, who leads them to Dalia Blundell – an exotic, eerie figure who immediately sets Consuela on edge with vampire suspicions, while Morgan finds herself oddly enthralled. Realizing their interests align in seeking justice for Floyd, Dalia takes them to her late husband's study. In Floyd's study, they discover two of his three precious journals, plus a surveyor's chain and compass -but the third journal remains missing. As they search, Consuela experiments with a sample of arcanite, triggering a magical flash that causes her eyes to glow blue and grants her supernatural perception. In this enhanced state, Consuela witnesses the terrified specter of Floyd Davis emerging from the wall, desperately seeking Dalia before being dragged back into shadow by smoke-black arms with long claws, his final scream echoing her name.

Hosts: Lalo Solorzano & Andy Shiles Guest: Jason Weiselman, International Bond & Marine Published: August 13, 2025 Length: ~42 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center When Bonds Become Billion-Dollar News Bonds may not be glamorous, but they're the backbone of trade. In this episode, Lalo and Andy sit down with Jason Wieselman of International Bond & Marine to unpack why customs bonds are suddenly front-page news — and what every importer needs to know to keep shipments moving. With tariffs surging and de minimis rules shifting, importers are facing unprecedented bond requirements — in some cases reaching hundreds of millions or even a billion dollars. Jason explains what this means for both large and small importers, why sureties are more involved than ever, and how logistics professionals can navigate the complexity without grinding their supply chains to a halt. From errors & omissions insurance to the rise of the so-called “unicorn bond,” this conversation explores the risks, realities, and strategies every trade nerd should understand in today's environment. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why higher tariffs are driving massive increases in bond requirements How importers can forecast and calculate the right bond amount What the first billion-dollar bond means for the future of trade The role of errors & omissions and cyber insurance in compliance today  Why you shouldn't blindly accept CBP's bond letters without running the numbers Key Takeaways: Higher tariffs directly impact bond requirements, sometimes by massive amounts. Importers must calculate bond amounts carefully — don't just accept CBP's defaults. The first billion-dollar bond signals a new era of risk management in trade. Errors & omissions and cyber insurance are growing priorities for trade professionals. Sureties and brokers are becoming more like strategic advisors than silent backers.

Retired Marine AV-8B Harrier pilot, “Cutter,” brings stories that are equal parts funny and awe-inspiring. He kicks off with the 2005 twelve-ship departure from al-Asad—skimming the Saudi desert on fumes, praying the tankers showed up—before pushing through a 10.5-hour odyssey to Rota, Spain. He rewinds to OCS at Camp Upshur with 300 candidates lined up for a cold gamma-globulin shot, then to flight school in T-2s that needed a literal bicycle pump to make the radio work. Cutter recounts the logging cable in Japan that shredded his wing at 480 knots, and the engine fire in Yuma that ended in an ejection so violent it still rattles him. He explains how smart fixes and blade blending saved Harrier engines, why “Hobbitville” became a deployment, and how commanding MCAS Yuma eventually led to teaching in Vermont. It's fast, funny, and human: Marine brotherhood, cockpit chaos, and leadership lessons from a Colonel who's seen it all. Stick around for the Extra—Cutter at Mach .99 over on Patreon!

Barry Jesinoski is the National Adjutant and CEO of Disabled American Veterans (DAV), leading an organization with over one million members. In this episode, Barry shares his unconventional journey from a young Marine who needed help to leading one of America's most respected veteran service organizations, despite never completing a college degree.  He explains why he limits remote work, and reveals the two fundamental principles that every DAV employee learns from day one.

Without it, no real success is possible, no matter whether it is on a section gang, a football field, in an army, or in an office.” - Dwight D. Eisenhower   Quotable Quotes "When I talk about integrity, I'm really talking about people who do what they say they will, people who always project a good image of our organization, people who listen before being heard, people who put in an honest day's work and take pride in their work, and people who respect others."  "The communication part, that's really about communicating honestly, actively and proactively, really asking questions when you have them, especially when you're new."  "I believe that distance or absence makes the heart grow colder, not fonder."  "I'm a firm believer that collaboration and ingenuity production suffers when a workforce is remote, say even beyond 20% of the time."  "Many of us who are technically qualified or considered to be by the VA disabled veterans... we don't consider ourselves disabled at all. I'm not. I didn't consider myself disabled when I was medically discharged from the Marines and I haven't considered myself as such a day since."  "If it's good for veterans, their family members and their survivors, we're on it. If it's bad for that same group of people, we're on it. And we will call out lawmakers who are not doing right, we believe by our veterans any and every day of the week."  "I found that operating with integrity and through strong communication served me well in my career."   Resources Mentioned The Leadership Podcast | Sponsored by | Rafti Advisors.
