Perhaps you're getting a little sick of all the AI hype. Perhaps you're totally into all the AI hype. Perhaps you're intrigued, but you're not sure how to leverage AI most effectively. Perhaps you're a skeptic who wishes we could turn back the clock. No matter how you feel about AI, the truth is, it's here to stay. So how can credit unions best leverage it without sacrificing the "people helping people" philosophy that defines the movement? With the technology still being so new, the unknowns can feel scary. But there are some early adopters with nuggets of wisdom and learned experience that may be able to help the rest of us. We sat down with one of these early adopters, Ken Brossman, Chief Lending Officer at Marine Credit Union, to talk about the highs and lows of Marine's five-year AI lending journey. We also addressed this month's BIG question: Where is the greatest opportunity to deploy AI in credit union lending, and where is the greatest risk?
Guitarfish genetics take center stage in this inspiring episode as Bryan Huerta shares how his fascination with sharks at the massive La Nueva Viga fish market in Mexico City sparked his entire scientific path. His early curiosity grew into formal research that now examines the guitarfish sold as Pez Diablo in Mexican markets, where he used molecular tools to identify species and highlight conservation concerns. Marine conservation research also shaped Bryan's career through field experience in the Northern Gulf of Mexico where he helped run longline surveys, learned dissection and biological sampling, and worked with leading shark scientists including Dr. Marcus Drymon and Dr. Nicole Phillips. His story illustrates how dedication, language learning, and crossing borders opened doors in science and advanced important work in the genetics and management of threatened rays. Shark research careers come to life in this conversation that highlights Bryan's upcoming PhD, his marathon-running discipline, and his commitment to filling knowledge gaps for understudied elasmobranchs. His journey offers a roadmap for aspiring scientists navigating international education, language barriers, and the practical challenges of breaking into the shark science world.

How did Ireland become a food destination? Thanks go to chefs like John Coffey of Athlone's Thyme Restaurant and Belfast's Niall McKenna of the Waterman House, both past Irish Stew guests.But ask those chefs that question and they'll thank their lucky stars for the local producers who supply the fresh vegetables, fruit, meat, seafood, and dairy that make their cooking soar.So Irish Stew went Off the Beaten Craic to Daingean, Co. Offaly, to talk with two farmers on the vanguard of Ireland's organic agriculture boom in an historic Georgian farmhouse at the heart of Mount Briscoe Organic Farm.Margaret Edgill set aside her marketing and event planning career in Dublin to take over Mount Briscoe, which her family has farmed for seven generations. Joining her for the conversation was her Geashill, Co. Offaly neighbor Pippa Hackett, also an organic farmer and Ireland's former Minister of State at the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine.Margaret describes the privilege of stewarding Mount Briscoe and the many ways she's infusing renewed life and new ideas into the land with a mix of organic beef production, upscale B&B accommodations, a shade more rustic “glamping” experiences, artisan food production, memorable farm-to-fork experiences, and public programs designed to celebrate the traditions and vitality of rural life.Pippa draws on her background in science and public service to champion greener, more sustainable farming practices, sharing insights shaped by her years on the farm and in government. “If you have a healthy environment and a healthy farm, you're going to have healthy animals and produce healthy foods,” she says, adding that with organic farming, “There's a great sort of magic in it--you actually have to do less work to get more."The pair delve into Ireland's “Origin Green” brand, the ongoing debate between organic and conventional farming methods, the lopsided economics that farmers juggle, the benefits of Irish people consuming Irish produce, and how hands-on rural experiences can counteract the growing urban disconnect with what's on their plates.Margaret offers her “wellies-on-the-ground” perspectives as both a farmer and owner of an agritourism business adding to the Hidden Heartlands tourism mix, talking up Ireland's potential as a green island destination, sharing how North Americans come to Mount Briscoe seeking heritage, tranquility, and authentic farm experiences, how guests look to disconnect with a digital detox, and how as climate change is making traditionally hot destinations less appealing, she's seeing first-hand the growing appeal “cool-cationing” in Ireland…even with its rainy days.And it was a rainy day indeed when Irish Stew visited Mount Briscoe Farm, but to cohosts John and Martin, the lush fields looked all the greener for it.Next week Irish Stew visits another Offlay farm and slogs through a bog to explore the innovative Peatlands for Prosperity initiative.LinksMargaret EdgillLinkedInInstagramFacebookMount Briscoe FarmWebsiteInstagramFacebookPippa HackettWebsiteLinkedInInstagram

Send us a textChange that lasts doesn't come from a one-time high or another sleepless night patched by a pill. It comes from disciplined, daily work that your brain can actually keep—paired with leadership that people trust when it matters most. Steve sits down with Marine veteran and CEO Tony Crescenzo to unpack how audio-driven brain signals can turn short-term “state” shifts into month-later “trait” changes, especially for first responders who need real restorative sleep, calmer stress responses, and sharp, on-demand focus.Tony explains why many sleep aids trade consciousness for quality, and how targeted signals—played on speakers, no headphones required—help nudge your brain into restorative rhythms you can retain. We talk timing and caution with upregulation tools, creative research that mimics ketamine-like EEG states without the drug, and why a practical 28 to 31 day window is fast when you're aiming for durable change. Therapy isn't sidelined; it's strengthened. Cultural competence, honest fit, and doing the work between sessions matter as much as any technology.Then we move from personal resilience to organizational resilience. Tony draws from the Marine Corps to break down four levels of leadership, from positional authority to field effect, where mission, vision, values, and culture guide action even when you're not in the room. He favors bad news because it's actionable, builds systems that surface hard questions, and sets expectations so clearly that people don't have to guess. Management keeps metrics on track; leadership gives the plan meaning and keeps teams aligned under pressure.If you're a first responder, veteran, or leader trying to build a healthier, higher-performing team, this conversation offers tools you can use today and habits you can keep for the long haul.

Fish feed in aquaculture is at the center of a complicated global story that most people never hear about. In this episode, Andrew sits down with marine biologist and policy expert Marine Cusa to explore the hidden world of fishmeal, fish oil, feed ingredients, and the surprising connections between aquaculture, wild fisheries, West African communities, and even penguin populations in Antarctica. Marine breaks down what actually goes into the pellets fed to farmed fish, why transparency is lacking in the supply chain, and how her genetics research is uncovering the real species being used in fish feed. The conversation reveals why feed matters for sustainability, human nutrition, local livelihoods, and the future of aquaculture as demand for seafood continues to grow.

This episode traces the Marine Corps' transformation from the late 1800s into the modern force recognized today. It begins with the creation of Parris Island and the evolution of Marine training, from tents and marshland to a world-class recruit depot tested by war, tragedy, and reform. The story moves through Panama, where Marines became America's instrument of order, and into the age of steel ships and global ambition. It follows their battles in Cuba, the Philippines, and across Central America during the Banana Wars, where the Corps learned the lessons of small wars, air-ground coordination, and constabulary duty. Figures like Charles Heywood, John A. Lejeune, and Smedley Butler emerge as the architects of a professional, expeditionary force. By the time the last Marines left Nicaragua in 1933, the Corps had been reshaped, no longer a naval guard but a global instrument of American power, forged in hardship and defined by purpose.

CannCon and Alpha Warrior deliver a wild, hilarious, and hard-hitting episode of SITREP, starting with Marine Corps swagger, Guard event stories, and Florida gator encounters before diving headfirst into the explosive new developments surrounding the J6 pipe bomber. The guys break down the Blaze investigation, gait analysis revelations, AT&T's missing data, Capitol Police connections, CIA ties, and the increasingly suspicious behavior of federal agencies. Alpha dissects the evidence like a seasoned detective while CannCon rage-reads Loudermilk's update and Bongino's fiery response. They analyze whistleblower letters, FBI internal politics, OPSEC, and why none of this adds up—except to corruption. The show then shifts to the disturbing Sarajevo sniper “human safari” reports, comparing shock value, evidence gaps, and timing, and speculating on whether this is narrative shaping or a test of public tolerance. Packed with humor, stories, deep analysis, inside-baseball investigations, and the duo's signature Marine banter, this episode swings from comedy to conspiracy to hard truth without missing a beat.

What kind of legacy are you really leaving for your kids – your name, or your Savior's? In this final week of our Psalm 112 series, Kent and Lawson walk through verses 9 and 10 and unpack what it means for a dad to be generous and righteous, not wicked and worried. They talk about "freely scattering" your gifts like seed in a field, and how that applies to dad stuff like your time, your connections, your money, and even your encouragement. You will hear how Psalm 112 points beyond our performance to the perfect righteousness of Jesus, why real legacy is more about your great-grandkids loving God's Word than anyone remembering your name, and how the "wicked being vexed" shows up today in jealousy, frustration, and comparison. The guys also get super practical about slowing down in Scripture, writing verses out by hand, and letting God's Word soak in instead of just bouncing off your busy day. If you have ever wrestled with feeling like you are not enough as a dad, or you are tempted to chase your own platform instead of God's purposes, this one is for you. In this episode you will learn: What it looks like for a dad to "freely scatter" his gifts in everyday family life How generosity, righteousness, and honor fit together in Psalm 112 Why your true legacy is Christ's righteousness, not your achievements The difference between a struggling believer and the "wicked" in Scripture Simple ways to slow down, rightly handle God's Word, and lead your family spiritually You are not a father on accident.

Taylor Kolls Marine Combat Vet and son of Jay shares his experience in Afghan war and why it should Veterans Week not Veterans Day.Operation Moshtarak (Dari for Together or Joint), also known as the Battle of Marjah, was an International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) pacification offensive in the town of Marjah, Helmand Province, Afghanistan. It involved a combined total of 15,000 Afghan, American, British, Canadian, Danish, and Estonian troops, constituting the largest joint operation of the War in Afghanistan up to that point. The purpose of the operation was to remove the Taliban from Marja, thus eliminating the last Taliban stronghold in central Helmand Province.[10] The main target of the offensive was the town of Marjah, which had been controlled for years by the Taliban as well as drug traffickers.Although Moshtarak was described as the largest operation in Afghanistan since the fall of the Taliban, it was originally supposed to be the prelude to a much larger offensive in Kandahar that would follow Moshtarak by several months.[11] ISAF chose to heavily publicize the operation before it was launched, comparing its scope and size to the 2004 Second Battle of Fallujah, in the hopes that Taliban fighters in the town would flee.[12]The operation was also designed to showcase improvements in both the Afghan government and Afghan security forces. ISAF claimed that the operation was "Afghan-led" and would use five Afghan brigades.[13] General Stanley A. McChrystal, the commander of ISAF, also promised that following the offensive ISAF would install a "government in a box" in Marja.[14]While initially successful, ISAF and the Afghan government failed to set up a working government in the town, leading to a successful resurgence by the Taliban; 90 days into the offensive General McChrystal famously referred to it as a "bleeding ulcer".[15][16] In October the town was still described as "troubling",[17] but by early December the fighting there was declared "essentially over".[18]Shortly after the withdrawal of NATO soldiers from Marja, it was reported the Taliban had regained control of the town and district with US army analysts describing the goals of the operation as a failure.[1] It has later been cited as a critical turning point in the war, as its failure lead the Obama administration to shift in strategy, away from increasing the number of American combatants for a decisive victory and toward deescalation of the war.[19]https://www.tucsonsentinel.com/nationworld/report/021510_marjah/afghan-battle-marjah-might-not-live-up-hype/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Mrasek, Volker www.deutschlandfunk.de, Forschung aktuell
This week, our country celebrated two big days! We celebrated Veterans Day this past Tuesday, and this past Monday was the United States Marine Corps' 250th birthday! I am joined by Rick Fails, a retired Marine after a 21-year career, and his son Micah, who just graduated from Marine boot camp last Friday. It's a great conversation that you don't want to miss!
Lorsqu'on image le rôle d'un parent, on pense de suite à un rôle protecteur, aimant et aidant. Malheureusement dans certains foyers, ce rôle est incarné par l'enfant, à cause de problématiques telle que l'alcoolisme. Marine est venue raconter son histoire de petite fille contrainte de grandir trop vite face à un parent instable. En témoignant, elle brise le silence sur ces blessures cachées et prouve qu'on peut se reconstruire malgré la douleur familiale. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.
Ce jeudi 13 novembre 2025 marque les 10 ans des attentats de Paris et de Saint-Denis. Le Stade de France, des terrasses de bars et la salle de concert du Bataclan avaient été pris pour cible par des terroristes se revendiquant du groupe État islamique. 132 personnes ont été tuées, dont des étrangers, comme Luis Felipe Zschoche Valle, un Chilien de 33 ans. Sa famille vient tous les ans à Paris honorer sa mémoire. Sa famille s'est confiée à RFI. La mère de Luis Felipe, Nancy Valle, a assisté aux cérémonies de ce jeudi 13 novembre 2025, comme les années précédentes. «Pour moi, c'est une année comme les autres», expliquait-elle au micro de Marine de La Moissonnière, quelques heures plus tôt. «Dix ans, ce n'est rien parce que l'absence est toujours là. Ce sont dix années de jours vides, de silences éloquents. Tous les jours, je pense à mon fils», poursuit-elle. «Avec le temps, ma peine s'est transformée. C'est une douleur plus apaisée : je ne ressens plus de rage, d'impuissance, de sentiment d'échec de n'avoir pas réussi à protéger mon enfant. Il n'y a plus rien à faire que se souvenir de lui, célébrer sa vie et honorer sa mémoire. Et c'est très important parce que ça peut permettre que cela ne se reproduise plus jamais», souligne-t-elle. «Chaque année, quand approche la date du 13 novembre, cette blessure qui est en train de cicatriser s'ouvre à nouveau.» Après avoir assisté aux cérémonies d'hommages, elle partira pour Gap où son fils est enterré. «C'est mon rituel, chaque année. Puis chaque fois, quand je repars pour le Chili, j'ai l'impression de l'abandonner, explique-t-elle, très émue. Ça me fait du bien d'être à Paris et à Gap, avec des gens qui ont vécu la même chose que moi. On se réconforte entre nous. Au Chili, ma famille et moi, on est seules avec notre douleur. Je n'ai personne avec qui parler de tout ça. Mais ici en France, si. Et ça fait du bien.» Le procès qui s'est tenu en 2021 et 2022 a aussi contribué à apaiser cette douleur. «Avant le procès, je n'existais pas pour la justice : personne ne nous a prévenues de la tenue du procès. On l'a su grâce à des journalistes de Radio France Internationale qui nous ont aussi expliqué comment y participer», se remémore Nancy Valle. «Ce procès m'a aidée. Il a été comme une reconstruction judiciaire. Cela m'a un peu apaisée de savoir que la justice avait fait son travail. C'est une satisfaction de savoir que les accusés ont été jugés et condamnés», conclut-elle. Haïti : la sécurité des ports mise en cause par les États-Unis La garde-côtière américaine a déterminé que «le gouvernement haïtien ne mettait pas en œuvre de manière substantielle le Code international pour la sûreté des navires et des installations portuaires au niveau national et au niveau des installations portuaires» et ne «constatait pas la mise en place de mesures de sécurité efficaces», peut-on lire dans une lettre transmise au gouvernement haïtien via l'ambassade des États-Unis en Haïti, rapporte Le Nouvelliste, mercredi 12 novembre 2025. Tirs, kidnappings, à quai ou en mer, «depuis des mois, les ports et des navires sont attaqués par les gangs», ajoute son rédacteur en chef, Frantz Duval, alors que «Haïti importe par voie maritime plus de 80% de ses biens de consommation», souligne-t-il. Le plus long shutdown de l'histoire des États-Unis s'achève Après plus de 40 jours de paralysie budgétaire, les fonctionnaires vont de nouveau pouvoir être payés et les programmes d'aides sociales vont reprendre, notamment l'aide alimentaire SNAP. Certains élus démocrates ont voté contre la ligne de leur parti, qui exigeait la prolongation des aides publiques pour le système d'assurance santé Obamacare. «Stupidity never shuts down» («La stupidité ne s'arrête jamais»), ce titre assassin et ce jeu de mots ont été choisis par le Wall Street Journal pour son éditorial du jour. Le quotidien économique se moque des démocrates qui ont cru que, plus la paralysie budgétaire durerait, plus ils auraient de chance d'obtenir la prolongation de l'Obamacare. Ce n'était «pas la stratégie la plus maline», estime le quotidien. Le quotidien Detroit Free Press est plus clément : les élus démocrates qui ont voté avec les républicains pour mettre fin au shutdown le plus long de l'histoire du pays «avaient des arguments entendables», lit-on dans une tribune publiée sur le site de ce média du Michigan. Par exemple, celui de considérer que les citoyens touchés par la paralysie budgétaire avaient «assez souffert». «Qu'auriez-vous fait à leur place ?», interroge l'auteur, qui s'adresse aux électeurs états-uniens. À ses yeux, il reste encore une chance de prolonger Obamacare. Campagne électorale tendue au Honduras Le Honduras se prépare à voter pour choisir son nouveau ou sa nouvelle présidente, le 30 novembre 2025. La campagne se déroule dans un climat de «crispation» selon El Heraldo, à Tegucigalpa. La majorité sortante de gauche et l'opposition de droite s'accusent mutuellement de vouloir attenter contre la transparence et la sincérité du vote. D'un côté, une enquête a été ouverte contre un député de droite ou encore contre une membre de l'autorité électorale, soupçonnés d'avoir voulu organiser une fraude. De l'autre, le gouvernement de gauche est particulièrement critiqué après avoir annoncé que l'armée sera chargée de réaliser un décompte parallèle des voix. Les candidats de l'opposition ont appelé ce mercredi 12 novembre 2025 à «protéger» l'intégrité du processus électoral. Même les États-Unis ont décidé de s'en mêler. Le secrétaire d'État adjoint du gouvernement Trump, Christopher Landau, prévient que Washington «suit de près le processus électoral», rapporte le journal La Tribuna. Le gouvernement états-unien «exhorte les autorités [...] à respecter les lois et la Constitution», faute de quoi il «réagira rapidement», rapporte encore le média hondurien, qui y voit un «avertissement» de la part du grand voisin régional. El Heraldo nuance tout de même cette menace et pointe du doigt la «naïveté de l'opposition», qui insinue, selon le journal, que les États-Unis pourraient envahir le Honduras en cas de victoire de la majorité sortante de gauche. La présidente Xiomara Castro n'échappe pas aux critiques, cette fois-ci dans La Prensa, dont un des éditorialistes accuse la dirigeante d'attiser les divisions au sein de la société hondurienne. Dans les Caraïbes françaises... Le saviez-vous ? La Martinique est la région de France où l'on compte le plus de… personnes âgées, nous raconte Benoît Ferrand, de La 1ère.
Send us a textEver wish you could quiet the story in your head without having to relive it? We sit down with Marine veteran and defense-tech CEO Tony Crescenzo to explore a practical, science-backed way to downshift the nervous system using neuroacoustic entrainment. Tony opens up about the years he spent running hot—rage, hypervigilance, and fractured sleep—and how a targeted audio protocol shifted his sleep from barely restorative to deeply replenishing. The conversation gets real about why so many first responders and veterans avoid talk therapy, and how culturally aware approaches can make all the difference.We break down the sleep architecture behind feeling human again. Slow wave sleep restores the body; REM sleep stabilizes emotion and consolidates memory. Tony shares research showing meaningful gains in both, along with a 9% boost in threat recognition—vital for police, fire, EMS, dispatchers, and military communities where seconds matter. You'll hear how suppressing the prefrontal “rumination engine” while opening the anterior cingulate, parietal, and occipital regions enables somatic processing: the body digests stress so the mind can stand down.Then we zoom out to cognitive resilience—the brain's ability to adapt quickly under pressure. Using EEG-guided and AI-personalized protocols, entrainment builds coherence front-to-back and left-to-right, easing brain fog and improving metabolic efficiency. The result is a steadier baseline, faster recovery after spikes, and sleep that actually repairs. If you've been stuck between white-knuckle coping and sterile clinical answers, this is a credible path you can start at home, including free app tracks for power naps, rumination relief, and sleep support.How to reach Jonathan: 1) https://www.IntelligentWaves.com 2) https://www.PeakNeuro.com3) https://www.linkedin.com/in/tonycrescenzo/Freed.ai: We'll Do Your SOAP Notes!Freed AI converts conversations into SOAP note.Use code Steve50 for $50 off the 1st month!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Discover the origins of the U.S. Marine Corps' legendary identity (06:26), the shocking Cold War plan known as Operation Northwoods (21:07), the bizarre CIA experiment Project Acoustic Kitty (27:32), and the daring innovation of America's first submarine, The Turtle (31:44).

Welcome to another episode of Building the Premier Accounting Firm. Today, host Roger Knecht welcomes Mark Myers, a former Marine and CEO of Tax Wise Partners, to discuss his journey from managing health clubs to specializing in tax advisory. This episode delves into effective tax planning strategies, the power of B2B collaborations for accounting firms, and personal insights on entrepreneurship and work-life balance. In This Episode: 00:00 Introduction to Mark Myers 02:16 From Operator to Tax Consultant 06:39 The Value of Tax Planning 09:27 B2B Marketing for Tax Strategies 13:19 Collaboration and Pricing Model 17:46 Business Mantra & Ideal Client 21:51 Entrepreneurial Journey & Freedom 27:37 Sacrifices, Gratitude, and Legacy 33:03 Advice for Budding Entrepreneurs 37:58 Charitable Giving & Final Thoughts 46:50 Podcast Wrap-up and Resources Key Takeaways: Explore tax efficiency beyond standard preparation by understanding the 75,000 pages of tax code. Leverage B2B partnerships with RIAs, CPAs, EAs, and bookkeepers to expand service offerings without increasing bandwidth. Prioritize service quality and responsiveness to maintain strong relationships with strategic partners and their clients. Identify ideal clients for advanced tax strategies, typically those with $400,000+ in ordinary income or significant capital gains. Plan your entrepreneurial transition by securing a baseline income and managing expenses to reduce stress. Featured Quotes: "There's 75,000 pages of tax code. There's a lot of ways to reduce your taxes if you know where the coupons are." — Mark Myers "You only have so much time in a day and there's compliance work that has to be done… Where do you have time to figure out what is possible, not just what's the norm?" — Mark Myers "I always say, don't take that huge jump and say, 'I'm just gonna figure it out.' Retract as much as you can… and have some metric of income that can at least get you 80 or 90% to your number." — Mark Myers Behind the Story: Mark Myers recounts his unexpected entry into the tax world, initially drawn by the tax efficiency of insurance in estate planning. His experience as an operator, focused on revenue and margins, gave him a unique perspective on optimizing finances. This led to his specialized B2B tax advisory model, partnering with existing financial professionals to offer advanced tax strategies without competing with their core services. He reflects on the personal sacrifices and the unwavering support of his wife during the challenging early days of building his business, emphasizing the importance of planning transitions. Top 3 Highlights: Tax Strategy Specialization: Mark Myers focuses solely on tax planning, differentiating it from tax preparation to offer significant savings (average 50%) to clients. B2B Partnership Model: Instead of direct client marketing, Mark Myers collaborates with CPAs, RIAs, and bookkeepers, providing advanced tax advisory as a complementary service. Strategic Entrepreneurship: Mark Myers advises aspiring business owners to plan their transition carefully, secure a baseline income, and manage expenses to mitigate stress.

Veteran Horror Stories | Paranormal Podcast In this special Veterans Day episode, we honor those who serve by sharing six chilling paranormal encounters experienced by military personnel during their time in service. We explore stories from soldiers stationed across the globe, from basic training at Fort Jackson to deployments in Korea, Iraq, and Afghanistan. The episode opens with a Fort Jackson trainee who witnessed a mysterious floating orb of light that behaved impossibly—appearing as a bouncing flashlight before suddenly veering off the trail, rising into the air, and vanishing just feet away from three startled soldiers. We then hear from a Marine patrolling a veterans cemetery alone at night who discovered an old weathered headstone with a glowing neon-blue cross and multi-voice humming that seemed to come from hundreds of sources at once, creating such an intense electric field that his hair stood on end. The encounters take darker turns as we share the story of a Marine sniper who describes his first kill in Fallujah and the terrifying sleep paralysis experience that followed, where he felt an entity crawl onto his chest and pin him down in the middle of the night. We also explore a British soldier's encounter with a mysterious voice warning "don't come in" from inside a chained building that turned out to be booby-trapped with mines and filled with bones from a Russian massacre. Additional stories include soldiers hearing phantom children's laughter in the Afghan desert where no children existed for miles, cadence calls echoing through empty training grounds at 2am, and an entire haunted government building in Iraq where Saddam Hussein allegedly executed dissidents.

In this episode, Chase Tobin celebrates the 250th birthday of the United States Marine Corps and reflects on the core values of honor, courage, and commitment. He emphasizes how these principles not only define a Marine but also serve as a guide for all men seeking to live a life of purpose. The conversation explores the significance of each value, their interconnection, and the legacy they create in both military and civilian life. Chase calls for a renewed commitment to these ideals in a world that often overlooks them, urging listeners to embody these virtues in their daily lives.Takeaways-The Marine Corps celebrates 250 years of tradition and excellence.-Honor, courage, and commitment are essential values for Marines and all men.-Honor is the foundation of character and integrity.-Courage is the ability to confront fear and adversity.-Commitment is the relentless pursuit of excellence and loyalty.-These values are interwoven and create a complete man.-A Marine's legacy is defined by his actions and values.-Living with honor, courage, and commitment requires sacrifice and discipline.-The world needs men who embody these virtues.-A true Marine's mission continues beyond military service.Chapters00:00 Celebrating the Marine Corps 250th Birthday01:42 The Core Values of Honor, Courage, and Commitment04:32 Understanding Honor: The Foundation of Character06:51 Courage: The Fire in the Soul10:24 Commitment: The Enduring Anchor12:29 The Legacy of Honor, Courage, and CommitmentSUBSCRIBE TO THE NEW PODCAST CHANNEL HERE: https://www.youtube.com/@3PillarsPodcast God bless you all.
