Ever wondered why that job you applied for needed FIVE interviews? Tracy Noel has some thoughts about that—and they might surprise you.In this conversation with Cam and Otis, the Marine Corps veteran and founder of Aion Worldwide pulls back the curtain on what's happening in recruiting today. "The value is in the human," Tracy explains, challenging the transactional approach many companies take to hiring.From balancing the needs of employers against the experience of candidates to making companies sign an ethics portfolio before she will work with them, Tracy's approach to recruiting is refreshingly relationship-driven. She even shares the inside scoop on why some hiring processes drag on forever (hint: it's not always about finding the perfect candidate).Whether you're looking to hire better people or hoping to get hired yourself, this episode offers rare insights into how the best matches happen when recruiters hold both sides accountable. Plus, Otis can't help but compare modern hiring processes to Special Forces selection—and he might not be wrong.More About Tracy:Tracy Noel is a Marine Corps veteran and the founder of Aion Worldwide, a recruiting firm built on the belief that the right hire can change everything. With a background that spans military service, international advocacy, and public sector leadership, Tracy brings a unique blend of discipline, strategic foresight, and heart to the world of talent acquisition.Through Aion, she partners with companies in the energy, tech, and medical sectors to make high-impact hires that drive real results. Her approach focuses on more than just filling roles —it's about placing people who will increase revenue, protect company culture, and fuel long-term growth. She's worked with founders making their first hire and organizations restructuring teams at scale, always with the same mission: hire with intention, not desperation.Looking ahead, Tracy is focused on scaling Aion's impact globally, expanding veteran-led hiring initiatives, and helping more companies move away from transactional hiring models toward transformational leadership. Her work is a powerful reminder that the right person, hired at the right time, can completely shift the future of a business.#10xYourTeam #RecruitingInsights #HireWithIntention #RelationshipDrivenHiring #AionWorldwide #TracyNoel #VeteranLedBusiness #EthicalRecruiting #TalentAcquisition #HumanCenteredHiring #BetterHiringProcesses #RecruitmentStrategy #BusinessGrowthThroughPeople #TransformationalHiring #RightHireRightTime #PeopleOverProcessChapter Times and Titles:What's in a Name: Aion Worldwide [00:00 - 06:00]Introduction to Tracy NoelThe meaning behind "Aion" (timeless)First glimpses of Tracy's relationship-driven approachThe Human in Human Capital [06:01 - 15:00]"The value is in the human"Moving beyond transactional recruitingCultural and international responsibilitiesWho's Really the Client?

Take the time to try something new, something that you really desired, but never got around to ever starting. Virgin Voyages is providing Commander Drew and his lovely wife another great adventure in the Mediterranean Sea. He is such a regular on the Virgin line that he knows the layout of all of their big ships. He is having such a good time he actually had flashbacks to being in the Navy when he volunteered to  participate in an exercise in survival with U.S. Marine Corps that took place on the largest island in Greece, the island of Crete. He had to rough-it for a while but survived the encounter. This time the ship is heading to Crete, but he won't be roughing-it; he will be sitting in the lap of luxury probably lounging somewhere on a beach frequented by the rich and famous, where a simple lunch for two costs about $500.00 (give or take.) For some good news in the world, consider that recent studies suggest that eggs, once cited as unhealthy due to cholesterol, was said in error as egg consumption may actually lower unhealthy (bad)  cholesterol when used as part of a diet low in saturated fat. There is no need to die of loneliness if you have the strength to get out in the world and try something new. Meet a wingman who did a good deed and lifted the spirits of a group of elders   who needed to see a new view of the outside world.

What happens when politics becomes performance and politicians become influencers? In today's Part 2 episode, former Marine and NYT bestselling author Elliot Ackerman joins Ryan to talk about the idea that “everything's a racket,” the collapse of institutional trust, and why restraint used to define real leadership. They talk about how cancel culture morphed into shamelessness as a superpower, why we might be living in a post-shame society, Ambrose Bierce's wild literary exit, and why modern media feels more like professional wrestling than journalism.Elliot Ackerman is the New York Times bestselling author of the novels 2054, 2034, Halcyon, Red Dress in Black and White, Waiting for Eden, Dark at the Crossing, and Green on Blue, as well as the memoirs The Fifth Act: America's End in Afghanistan and Places and Names: On War, Revolution, and Returning. Elliot's books have been nominated for the National Book Award, the Andrew Carnegie Medal in both fiction and nonfiction, and the Dayton Literary Peace Prize, among others. He is a contributing writer at The Atlantic, a Senior Fellow at Yale's Jackson School of Global Affairs, and a veteran of the Marine Corps and CIA special operations, having served five tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan, where he received the Silver Star, the Bronze Star for Valor, and the Purple Heart.

Fr. Michael Duesterhaus was ordained to the priesthood for the Diocese of Arlington in 1991. He spent 27 years, Active and Reserves, as a Naval Chaplain, mostly serving with units of the U.S. Marine Corps. Father has presented over 125 formal cases before Tribunals of seven dioceses of the United States. He currently serves as Parochial Vicar at St. John the Baptist Parish in Front Royal, Virginia. In Today's Show: I've been married for many years, have several children and have always practiced the Faith. But suddenly I see that I married for the wrong reason, had children for the wrong reason, and homeschooled for the wrong reason. I am committed to my family and my vows, but how do I move forward to have authentic relationships with the people I brought into my life and let go of the regrets from knowing that I probably would have been called to a very different life if I had actually been listening to God? Why are priests throughout the United States so diverse in their theology? How do we not let our regrets lead us into despair? When is a divorce or annulment warranted? Is it alright to refuse to enter one's parents' house as long as they are hosting unmarried siblings with their companions in the same room, and to let them know that reason? What if they had separate rooms? Are there any rules related to annulment in terms of who must be contacted as part of the process? For example, must adult children of the marriage be contacted/informed before an annulment can take full effect? Does the church keep a record of why each annulment was approved and who approved it? I struggle with severe anxiety before going to Confession. Is this a sign of spiritual weakness? My husband and I have been practicing NFP with a clear conscience, but recently we came across traditional writers who imply that even periodic abstinence for non-serious reasons could be sinful. How does the Church truly define a ‘just cause,' and how can couples discern this without falling into guilt or legalism? What's the best way to introduce the Rosary to small children without making it feel like a chore? How to stop superstitious thoughts? Why do people believe in superstition? As a Catholic woman, how can I serve in the Church without overstepping the roles God designed for men and women? You often speak on this show about uniting our sufferings to Christ. But how does that actually work in real life? How can I avoid despair and use my suffering redemptively? Is it wrong to wear pants as a woman? I want to be modest, but I also don't want to appear scrupulous or extreme. Do you believe homeschooling is the best way to pass on the traditional Catholic faith to our children? What are some options for folks who might not be in a situation that allows one parent to skip working and stay at home with the children?

I'm coming at you mid-flight after one of the wildest weeks of my speaking career — and today, I'm giving you a look behind the curtain of what the keynote life really looks like. From missed flights and sleeping on airport benches… to one of the greatest honors of my speaking career: speaking to the United States Marine Corps. This episode is raw. Real. And straight from 35,000 feet. It's a story of extreme lows and unbelievable highs. It's a reminder that leadership, energy, and purpose aren't just for the stage — they're for the trenches. And I'm sharing it all — because chances are, you have probably felt and experienced those same extremes in your life too. In this episode, I specifically unpack: The real truth about keynote speaking — and why it's not always glamorous. The travel disaster that forced me to sleep in an airport (hello, humility!) My time with Supplement King and 75 rockstar franchise owners in Canada The powerful honor of speaking to 60+ Sergeant Majors in the U.S. Marine Corps My message to the Marines on mindset, leadership, standards, and energy The impact of attending the legendary “8th & I Parade” at the Marine Corps Barracks in Washington, D.C. The deep sense of pride, purpose, and presence that came from it all. Listen in as I take you on the road with me — through fatigue, faith, and full-circle moments that remind us why we do what we do. This isn't just an episode. It's a reminder and testament to the power of ‘Keep showing up,' no matter what. Life isn't just about the stage moments or highlight reels. It's about who you are when your back's against the wall. It's about how you lead when the mission's tough, the energy's low...or your flight's massively delayed or canceled. This week reminded me of something we all need to hear: The standard is the standard. And your energy is your legacy. So wherever you are — in the air, on the ground, or deep in the grind — keep showing up. Keep leading. And keep making IMPACT.

In this compelling episode, Mel K welcomes Aaron M. Stevenson, a courageous whistleblower with decades of experience inside the intelligence and federal security apparatus. Aaron has served in Marine Corps intelligence, contracted with the Defense Intelligence Agency, and held positions with Customs and Border Protection as well as USCIS. He has been on the front lines of America's national security for years, and now he is exposing truths the establishment does not want you to hear. Aaron takes us inside a world few understand. After multiple tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and years working inside DHS, he began to see disturbing patterns that could not be ignored. He witnessed cartel-connected individuals sponsoring children and gaining access to our immigration system, setting off alarm bells that should have triggered immediate action. Instead, his warnings were ignored. Internal disclosures led nowhere. The system, designed to protect the vulnerable, was allowing corruption to thrive. By 2021, Aaron realized this was not a case of bureaucratic error. It was something much deeper. Children were being placed in dangerous hands while officials looked the other way. After exhausting every internal channel, Aaron went public, knowing it could cost him his career. It did. In 2023, after years of speaking out, he was terminated from DHS. His crime? Telling the truth. This episode is about more than one man's story. It is a window into the failures of our immigration system, the infiltration of criminal networks, and the culture of silence inside agencies sworn to protect our country. It is also about the psychological warfare being waged on the American people, where narratives are manipulated and facts are buried under layers of propaganda. Aaron shares how corruption has become systemic, how internal accountability has collapsed, and what happens when good people inside government try to do the right thing. His testimony reveals why transparency and vigilance are not optional. They are essential if we are to defend our sovereignty and protect the most vulnerable among us. Here is what you will learn in this episode: How the immigration system was compromised from within Why whistleblowers face retaliation instead of support The reality of cartel influence in child sponsorship programs How psychological and information warfare is shaping what Americans believe What must happen to restore integrity and accountability This conversation is a wake-up call. If we allow these patterns to continue, the cost will be catastrophic. Awareness is the first step toward change. Listen closely, share widely, and join the movement to hold power accountable.

Doug Lynam is here today to share about his new book, Taming Your Money Monster. Doug shares his unconventional life journey from a Marine Corps officer to a Benedictine monk for 20 years, where he confronted the inescapability of money even in a monastery and how he later transitioned to become a professional money manager focused on teaching healthier, ethical relationships with money. He discusses how people develop "money monsters"—unhealthy money habits tied to psychological attachment styles. He stresses that while thriftiness is valuable, it should not come at the cost of compassion or love. We discuss... Doug explains his "attachment theory of money," comparing unhealthy money relationships to attachment styles in psychology, with anxious and avoidant money behaviors. He highlights how people often show mixed money attachments across the four pillars of finance: earning, saving, investing, and giving. Doug reflects on his monastic life as a quest to understand the meaning of life and spiritual unity, which influences his compassionate approach to money. They discuss the impact of upbringing on money attitudes, using Doug's father as an example of anxious earning and avoidant saving driven by early scarcity and trauma. Kirk and Doug talk about cultural and generational influences on thriftiness and money control, including weaponizing money as a form of control. They explore parenting approaches, emphasizing the importance of setting firm but loving boundaries to teach children respect for money and responsibility. Doug warns against conditional love based on behavior, advocating for unconditional affection alongside clear consequences. Doug introduces the Enneagram personality system as a key tool in understanding financial behaviors and emotional patterns related to money, promising to explain it further. Unlike the more fixed Myers-Briggs system, the Enneagram offers a fluid growth framework that guides emotional and spiritual development over time. Personal experiences with anger are shared, highlighting how generational values around toughness and self-control shape how anger is handled. The Enneagram is described as having a spiritual layer that underpins common virtues found in many religions, such as honesty and courage. Doug stresses that meaningful transformation takes effort and mental work—there are no quick fixes—and that sustained self-awareness and practice are essential.

When is it right to stick to your role—and when do you need to step up and act, even outside your formal job description? Mike and Jim tackle the age-old advice to “stay in your lane” by examining what it truly means in high-stakes environments. From a cop showing up to a burning house to Marines turning wrenches one moment and picking up rifles the next, we break down how flexibility, judgment, and initiative can make the difference between failure and mission success. Drawing on real-world examples like the 2012 Taliban attack on Camp Bastion—where Marine pilots and maintainers dropped tools and returned fire—we ask: Is it always someone else's job, or do high-performing teams blur the lines when the stakes are high? This episode is about knowing your capabilities, understanding your limits, and recognizing when stepping outside your lane is not only appropriate—but necessary.

Evie and Eli are a dynamic duo with a deep love for food, adventure, and building unforgettable experiences. Based in Las Vegas, they're both certified SCA judges, and passionate foodies. Eli is a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, global traveler, and expert builder of custom off-road vehicles. In 2023, he introduced the Military Class to King of the Hammers—his own creation, inspired by converting a 2011 Armorworks Hyena Military Prototype into an Ultra4 race truck. Evie is a top-tier Google Maps restaurant reviewer—ranked in the top 10 worldwide—a creator of unforgettable events, and the designer behind the off-road vehicle that took her and Eli to second place in their class at the 2022 Mint 400. Known for her unique blend of creativity and authenticity, she turns every experience into something truly special. THE VENUE In Spring 2024, they purchased a 5-acre property in Homewood Canyon just outside Death Valley National Park and opened Base Camp Death Valley as an event venue in March 2025. The centerpiece is the Desert Rose Manor, a 6,000 sq ft, four-story colonial home featuring stunning exterior wrought ironwork by the late Raymon Larose—a legendary West Coast blacksmith whose work graces the homes of Frank Sinatra and Barbra Walters, and properties owned by Paramount, Universal, Disney Studios, MGM Grand, as well as creations for Barry Manilow, Michael Jackson, The Osmond Family, and many more. While the Manor's interior is currently undergoing a careful remodel, the exterior will be beautifully finished in time for the October 2025 event—offering a gorgeous backdrop. Guests at Base Camp Death Valley can enjoy one of Larose's remarkable creations up close—the wedding arch made from wrought iron gates originally crafted for Barbra Walters' house. Though these gates were damaged by a visitor before they could be shipped, Larose rebuilt a new set and later repaired the originals. The restored gates now serve as a striking and historic backdrop for the wedding ceremony area, offering attendees a unique glimpse into the artistry that enriches the property. Don't let the reputation of the Death Valley heat scare you away—Base Camp sits at a refreshing 3,000 feet in elevation, often 5–10 degrees cooler than Las Vegas, NV. October temperatures are ideal, and the night sky? Absolutely unreal. As a designated 100% DarkZone, Base Camp offers one of the clearest, darkest stargazing experiences on Earth. THE EVENT On October 11, 2025, they'll host the inaugural Sizzlin at Sunset Steak Cookoff, a fully SCA-sanctioned event featuring Golden Ticket opportunities for Steak and Ancillaries—making it the final qualifying event before the SCA World Championships in Fort Worth March 2026. And because ticket winners can't take home more than one Golden Ticket in a category, it's a prime opportunity for novice competitors to snag a spot. The legendary Ken Phillips, SCA Co-Founder, will serve as the SCA event rep. Competitors can camp onsite(limited spaces available) or take advantage of discounted lodging in nearby Ridgecrest, CA (just 37 miles away). Whether you're a seasoned competitor or a backyard cook ready to try your hand, the Sizzlin at Sunset Steak Cookoff is shaping up to be one of the most exciting, welcoming, and visually stunning events of the season.
