Do your daily actions match what you claim are your priorities? In this thought-provoking episode, Jesse Cope challenges us to examine the gap between what we say matters and how we actually spend our time and energy.The reality is stark—we can tell our children, spouses, or even God that they're our priority, but if we're not investing quality time with them while finding hours for social media, sports, or entertainment, our true values are revealed. As Jesse powerfully notes, "There comes a point at which everybody knows we don't really care."Through a compelling exploration of 1 Corinthians 15, we discover the transformative hope of resurrection—both Christ's historical resurrection and our promised spiritual renewal. This chapter reminds us that Christian hope isn't just for eternity but provides meaning and purpose in our present struggles. Jesse highlights Paul's remarkable transformation from persecutor to apostle as evidence that no sin is beyond God's forgiveness through Christ.The podcast draws fascinating parallels between America's founding struggles and our current national divisions, suggesting we face similar fundamental choices about liberty and national character. Through historical perspectives from Ezra Stiles and Mercy Otis Warren, alongside accounts from Fox's Book of Martyrs, Jesse illuminates the dangers when religious or political institutions claim infallibility and refuse correction.Perhaps most compelling is the reminder that we serve as living representatives of everything we claim to value. As Jesse once told his Marines: "You may be the only Marine somebody ever meets, and whatever impression you make will become their opinion of the entire Marine Corps." Similarly, Christians may be "the only Bible some people ever read" through their daily actions and character.The episode concludes with an inspiring call to spread the gospel as America's true hope for renewal. By living our faith authentically, supporting those ministering in challenging environments, and reclaiming education centered on timeless values, we can influence our culture far more effectively than through political means alone.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

In 1979, the U.S. Marines suffered one of the biggest natural disasters on an American base ever, injuring dozens and killing 13 servicemembers at Camp Fuji in Japan. However, with all of the other world events happening at the time, it got pushed to the side in the news, and in history. There's not even Wikipedia article about it. Looking to change that is former Marine and retired WTOP journalist Chas Henry. He has written a new book to tell this story. He spoke to Federal News Network's Eric White about the book and his journey to make sure those that were lost are gone but not forgotten.

Round 80 equips military veterans and first responders with practical, career-stage-specific strategies rooted in the mindset of tactical redundancy, helping them build resilience, expand options, and prepare for life after service while excelling in their current roles.In military service and first responder careers, you never trust a single point of failure. There is always a second radio, a spare battery, an alternate route. This week's Tactical Transition Tips episode draws from that same principle: Two is one and one is none.Whether you are a veteran preparing to transition in the next twelve months, a firefighter five years from retirement, or an airman just beginning to think long-term, this episode is about building redundancy into your career strategy. Not out of fear, but out of strength.In this episode, we break it down by timeline:• Close Range Group (those transitioning within a year), Always Hunt in Pairs. Create two parallel job pursuits so you have a fallback ready if your top choice falls through. • Medium Range Group (those 3–5 years out), Build Multiple Competencies. Gather additional skills that help this career but carry over to your next.• Long Range Group (a decade or more away), Build Two Mentorship Paths. Find mentors who help build this career and mentors who help build your civilian side, in tandem.Each segment focuses on how tactical planning, layered preparation, and proactive learning create more options, stronger leadership, and a smoother path into your next chapter."Two is one and one is none" is not just a gear checklist. It is a mindset for a resilient career and an intentional transition.This episode serves military veterans, law enforcement, firefighters, EMS professionals, Marines, soldiers, airmen, and sailors preparing for military transition, law enforcement retirement, or an unexpected career shift.Whether you're wearing the uniform or preparing to take it off, your oath to serve still stands—and this episode will help you carry it forward.Get additional resources and join our newsletter via the link in the show notes.CONNECT WITH THE PODCAST:IG: WEBSITE: LinkedIn: SIGN-UP FOR THE NEWSLETTER:QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS:SPONSORS:Brothers & Arms USAGet 20% off your purchaseLink: https://brothersandarms.comPromo Code: Transition20Trident CoffeeGet 15% off your purchaseLink: https://tridentcoffee.comPromo Code: TDP15GRND CollectiveGet 15% off your purchaseLink: https://thegrndcollective.com/Promo Code: TRANSITION15

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Joe Jones discuss:The transition from traditional legal practice to entrepreneurshipStrategies for evaluating and managing professional riskTools and systems that support solo and startup legal venturesThe mindset and preparation needed to pursue legal tech innovation Key Takeaways:Successfully transitioning from law firm practice to a tech-driven startup can be less daunting when done gradually, by maintaining income and slowly validating the new concept before fully stepping away.Fear of entrepreneurial failure can be reduced by building out clear backup plans—even unconventional ones—to provide psychological safety and optionality during uncertain times.Implementing automated scheduling systems and encouraging clients to use them can significantly reduce administrative burden, lower phone interruptions, and create a more organized and prepared client experience.New product ideas should be tested not by pitching, but by asking target users how they currently solve the problem, which leads to more honest feedback and uncovers existing competitors or gaps in the market. "There's just so many tools out there that you can get that aren't very expensive, that take a huge headache away from you." —  Joe Jones Unlock the secrets of the industry's top rainmakers with Be That Lawyer: 101 Top Rainmakers' Secrets to Growing a Successful Law Practice.

 Four Marines. One shattered jaw. And a sound that would define a generation.In 1969, Peter Cetera—future frontman of Chicago—got beaten up at a baseball game. That fight didn't just break his face… it transformed his voice. From clenched teeth and reconstructive surgery came a vocal style that shaped hits like 25 or 6 to 4, Hard to Say I'm Sorry, and You're the Inspiration.

What would happen if you finally listened to that small voice inside that's been trying to save your life for years?Steve Gallegos relates his transformation from suicidal teenager to empowering life coach on this powerful Life in Transition episode.

Through mentoring fellow recruits, he discovers his inherent worth and becomes valedictorian. His lightning bolt moment comes years later at a Vegas conference: "I needed to love myself before I could expect love from the world." Steve challenges us with the pivotal question: "Who am I?" in relation to what's happening right now. Are you the director of your story or just an actor? His message: stop identifying with outcomes and start directing your narrative from truth, not fear.Steve Gallegos, known as "America's Ambassador on Success," is a transformational coach who helps people rewrite their life stories.

From screw-up recruit to revered drill instructor, First Sergeant John Crouch takes us deep into the crucible of Marine Corps transformation. In this gripping episode, Crouch recalls his early days at bootcamp, his infamous misstep during the Laws of Land Warfare class, and the brutal but formative experience of Drill Instructor School at Parris Island. He shares harrowing tales of PT punishment, spit-shined leadership, and the unwavering standards that mold raw recruits into Marines. Whether he's talking about the origin of “YUT!” or the moment he lost all attraction to a stunning Staff Sergeant mid-drip, Crouch delivers humor, humility, and hard-earned wisdom. You'll hear how tradition, stress, and shared adversity forge the kind of leaders America needs. This one's got everything: embarrassment, endurance, and the emotional gravity that only the Corps can provide. Don't miss this raw, hilarious, and unforgettable ride through the making of a DI.

Send us a textHope you packed your sense of humor and a fire extinguisher—because this episode scorches everything from overpriced moldy barracks in Guam to the Pentagon ghosting Aspen like it's a bad Tinder date. Jared runs down the biggest WTFs across the Department of Defense with a tactical blend of sarcasm and salt. We're talking billions for broken plumbing, drones that can't hang in Alaska, the F-35 backlog (finally) clearing, and a KC-46 that decided midair was the perfect time for a wardrobe malfunction. Plus, the Air Force tries fashion policing again (no more eyelash extensions, folks), Space Force dreams of relevancy, and China continues its “quantity over quality” military glow-up. Also, Nashville OTS is coming—bring your snorkel and your ruck.

Mark Worster is the Founder of The New Mysteries, a personal transformation initiative that blends ancient wisdom with modern therapeutic practices to help individuals access deeper levels of consciousness. Previously, he founded Novation IT Services and served as CEO of Unitel, a two-time Inc. 500 honoree, which he later sold to his brother, marking a pivotal transition in his professional journey. Known as “nurseMARK,” Mark is a sought-after speaker and coach, offering insights on mental health, entrepreneurship, and transformational healing. In this episode… Despite achieving outward success, many high performers feel a lingering sense of dissatisfaction or internal struggle. What if the root cause lies deep in our subconscious, formed not by conscious choice but by childhood conditioning, inherited trauma, and neurological programming? Could psychedelics and breathwork offer a path to profound healing and clarity? Mark Worster, a mental health advocate, answers these questions with powerful personal stories and professional insight. After decades as a successful CEO and enduring lifelong treatment-resistant depression, Mark found healing through psychedelic therapy and breathwork. He discusses how these tools helped him uncover subconscious programming, access true choice, and ultimately find joy. Now, he helps others achieve similar breakthroughs by guiding them through transformative practices and consciousness-expanding experiences. Tune in to this episode of the Smart Business Revolution Podcast as John Corcoran interviews Mark Worster, Founder of The New Mysteries, about rewiring the subconscious mind. Mark discusses his journey from the Marines and IT entrepreneurship to mental health advocacy, along with insights on psychedelic therapy, breathwork, and the quest for genuine fulfillment.

Last Resort Beyond Last Resort: The JFK Assassination, The Need to Protect West Berlin, and Why a Second Invasion of Cuba Never HappenedJohn F. Kennedy was an embattled president. He was consistently at odds with the Joint Chiefs, the CIA, the radical-right, and Fascist groups in America and Western Europe, who considered him too weak to contain the spread of communism. After the Cuban Missile Crisis, the animosity for the young President grew as JFK cracked down on right-wing Cuban exile groups in America by preventing them from running sabotage raids against the Cuban mainland. Confusion reigned, for at the same time, Robert Kennedy was putting together a coalition of left-wing Cuban exiles to launch a second invasion of Cuba at the end of 1963. Meanwhile, a right-wing Cuban exile group operating independently of the Kennedys was looking to assassinate JFK, which they believed would be a catalyst to compel the United States to invade Cuba with its military in retaliation. The plan could have worked because of Lee Harvey Oswald. He was a Marxist and Castro supporter who had defected to the Soviet Union in 1959, had renounced his citizenship, and had revealed military secrets to the Russians. He allegedly tried to shoot right-wing General Edwin Walker, was a member of the pro-Castro Fair Play for Cuba Committee, and in the summer of 1963, he was arrested in New Orleans for handing out pro-Castro literature in public. He traveled to Mexico City and tried to reach Havana two months before the JFK assassination. He wrote a letter to the Russian Embassy in Washington D.C. upon his return, saying he used an alias while he was in Mexico. He was measured as 5'-9" tall during his autopsy, which was two inches shorter than when he left the Marines four years before. All this made him the perfect patsy to be used to justify a second invasion of Cuba. So, why didn't the United States invade Cuba after the JFK assassination when they had the opportunity to do so once and for all? The answer to that question is West Berlin, the gateway to Western Europe and a city President Kennedy was determined to protect at all costs, even if it meant sacrificing Cuba to the Communists. And a second invasion of Cuba placed Berlin in jeopardy, so it could not be allowed to happen. Another group came together in the spring of 1963, made up of CIA right-wing Cold War veterans like Allen Dulles, James Angleton, Henry Hecksher, William Harvey, and Tracy Barnes. These men had fought the Nazis during World War but came to consider them the lesser of two evils compared to the Soviet Union when the war was over. And they were hell-bent on keeping communism out of Europe by any means possible. For over a decade leading up to JFK's Presidency, they had collaborated with ex-Nazis, European Monarchists, and French military Fascists in the war against communism to keep Europe safe. So, it was not surprising that they all came together once again to assassinate President Kennedy – not to justify an invasion of Cuba but to prevent that from occurring. They knew that if a second invasion of Cuba were to happen, the Soviets would take West Berlin, which would almost certainly have led to World War III. So, as a Last Resort Beyond Last Resort, this group inevitably concluded that the only choice they had was to remove JFK from power before it was too late. And mixed up in the middle of it all was Lee Harvey Oswald.https://amzn.to/452QKmkBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Last episode, we walked through the intense landing at Tinian and how Marines clawed their way inland. Once they secured crucial positions, they wasted no time driving south, dismantling Japanese defenses one step at a time. Today, we'll conclude our Tinian series by exploring the campaign's dramatic final stages. We'll cover fierce clashes along rugged cliffs, relentless enemy resistance, and logistical adaptations in the face of severe weather. We'll examine critical innovations in artillery coordination, amphibious logistics, and the first use of napalm in combat.

We begin on a positive note by welcoming a “doer,” citizen extraordinaire, Jon Merryman, who couldn't stand the trash, especially old tires, being dumped in his neighborhood. So, he took it upon himself to clean it up and has now expanded his efforts across the country. Then co-president of Public Citizen, Robert Weissman, joins us to explain how spending in the recent bill passed by the Republican controlled Congress prioritizes the Pentagon and deportation enforcement at the expense of the social safety net, essentially trading life for death.Jon Merryman was a software designer at Lockheed Martin, who after retiring found his true calling, cleaning up trash in every county in America.When I first started looking at the environment next to my place of work, one of the things I did uncover was tires. And they were definitely there from the '20s, the '30s, and the '40s, they've been there for decades. And then just after a while, the soil and the erosion just covers them up. And you just discover them, and you realize this has been going on forever.Jon MerrymanNature is innocent. It really doesn't deserve what we've given it. And I feel like someone's got to step up to undo what we've done.Jon MerrymanRobert Weissman is a staunch public interest advocate and activist, as well as an expert on a wide variety of issues ranging from corporate accountability and government transparency to trade and globalization, to economic and regulatory policy. As the Co-President of Public Citizen, he has spearheaded the effort to loosen the chokehold corporations, and the wealthy have over our democracy.The best estimates are that the loss of insurance and measures in this bill will cost 40,000 lives every year. Not once. Every year.Robert Weissman co-president of Public Citizen on the Budget BillPeople understand there's a rigged system. They understand that generally. They understand that with healthcare. But if you (the Democrats) don't name the health insurance companies as an enemy, as a barrier towards moving forward. You don't say United Health; you don't go after a Big Pharma, which is probably the most despised health sector in the economy, people don't think you're serious. And partially it's because you're not.Robert WeissmanNews 7/11/251. This week, the Financial Times published a stunning story showing the Tony Blair Institute – founded by the former New Labour British Prime Minister and Iraq War accomplice Tony Blair – “participated” in a project to “reimagine Gaza as a thriving trading hub.” This project would include a “Trump Riviera” and an “Elon Musk Smart Manufacturing Zone”. To accomplish this, the investors would pay half a million Palestinians to leave Gaza to open the enclave up for development – and that is just the tip of the harebrained iceberg. This scheme would also involve creating “artificial islands off the coast akin to those in Dubai, blockchain-based trade initiatives…and low-tax ‘special economic zones'.” The development of this plot is somewhat shadowy. The FT story names a, “group of Israeli businessmen…including tech investor Liran Tancman and venture capitalist Michael Eisenberg,” who helped establish the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation in February 2025. GHF has been accused of using supposed aid distribution sites as “death traps,” per France 24. Boston Consulting Group, also named in the FT story, strongly disavowed the project, as did the Tony Blair Institute.2. In more positive news related to Gaza, the National Education Association – the largest labor union in the United States – voted this week to sever ties with the Anti-Defamation League. The ADL, once an important group safeguarding the civil rights and wellbeing of American Jews, has completely abandoned its historic mission and has instead devoted its considerable resources to trying to crush the anti-Zionist movement. The NEA passed a resolution stating that the NEA “will not use, endorse, or publicize materials from the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), such as its curricular materials or statistics,” because, “Despite its reputation as a civil rights organization, the ADL is not the social justice educational partner it claims to be.” Labor Notes writes that the ADL “has been a ubiquitous presence in U.S. schools for forty years, pushing curriculum, direct programming, and teacher training into K-12 schools and increasingly into universities.” One NEA delegate, Stephen Siegel, said from the assembly floor, “Allowing the ADL to determine what constitutes antisemitism would be like allowing the fossil fuel industry to determine what constitutes climate change.”3. Another major labor story from this week concerns sanitation workers in Philadelphia. According to the Delaware News Journal, AFSCME District Council 33 has reached a deal with the city to raise wages for their 9,000 workers by 9% over three years. The union went on strike July 1st, resulting in, “massive piles of trash piling up on city streets and around trash drop-off sites designated by the city,” and “changes to the city's annual Fourth of July concert with headliner LL Cool J and city native Jazmine Sullivan both dropping out,” in solidarity with the striking workers, per WHYY. The deal reached is a major compromise for the union, which was seeking a 32% total pay increase, but they held off on an extended trash pickup strike equivalent to 1986 strike, which went on for three weeks and left 45,000 tons of rotting garbage in the streets, per ABC.4. Yet another labor story brings us to New York City. ABC7 reports the United Federation of Teachers has endorsed Democratic Socialist – and Democratic Party nominee – Zohran Mamdani for mayor. This report notes “UFT is the city's second largest union…[with] 200,000 members.” Announcing the endorsement, UFT President Michael Mulgrew stated, “This is a real crisis and it's a moment for our city, and our city is starting to speak out very loudly…The voters are saying the same thing, 'enough is enough.' The income gap disparity is above…that which we saw during the Gilded Age." All eyes now turn to District Council 37, which ABC7 notes “endorsed Council speaker Adrienne Adams in the primary and has yet to endorse in the general election.”5. The margin of Mamdani's victory, meanwhile, continues to grow as the Board of Elections updates its ranked choice voting tallies. According to the conservative New York Post, Zohran has “won more votes than any other mayoral candidate in New York City primary election history.” Mamdani can now boast having won over 565,000 votes after 102,000 votes were transferred from other candidates. Not only that, “Mamdani's totals are expected to grow as…a small percent of ballots are still being counted.”6. Meanwhile, scandal-ridden incumbent New York City Mayor Eric Adams has yet another scandal on his hands. The New York Daily News reports, “Four high-ranking former NYPD chiefs are suing Mayor Adams, claiming they were forced to retire from the department after complaining that his ‘unqualified' friends were being placed in prestigious police positions, sometimes after allegedly bribing their way into the jobs.” Former Police Commissioner Edward Caban, who was already forced to resign in disgrace amidst a federal corruption investigation, features prominently in this new lawsuit. Among other things, Caban is alleged to have been “selling promotions” to cops for up to $15,000. Adams is running for reelection as an independent, but trails Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani and disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo.7. Turning to the federal government, as the U.S. disinvests in science and technology, a new report published in the Financial Times finds that, “Almost three-quarters of all solar and wind power projects being built globally are in China.” According to the data, gathered by Global Energy Monitor, “China is building 510 gigawatts of utility-scale solar and wind projects… [out of] 689GW under construction globally.” As this report notes, one gigawatt can potentially supply electricity for about one million homes. This report goes on to say that, “China is expected to add at least 246.5GW of solar and 97.7GW of wind this year,” on top of the “1.5 terawatts of solar and wind power capacity up and running as of the end of March.” In the first quarter of 2025, solar and wind accounted for 22.5% of China's total electricity consumption; in 2023, solar and wind accounted for around 14% of electricity consumption in the United States, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.8. Developments this week put two key rules promulgated by the Federal Trade Commission under former Chair Lina Khan in jeopardy. First and worse, NPR reports the Republican-controlled FTC is abandoning a rule which would have banned non-compete clauses in employment contracts. These anti-worker provisions “trap workers and depress wages,” according to Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy, who has introduced legislation to ban them by statute. Perhaps more irritatingly however, Reuters reports the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Louis has blocked the so-called “click to cancel” rule just days before it was set to take effect. This rule would have, “required retailers, gyms and other businesses to provide cancellation methods for subscriptions, auto-renewals and free trials that convert to paid memberships that are ‘at least as easy to use' as the sign up process.” A coalition of corporate interests sued to block the rule, including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and a trade group representing major cable and internet providers such as Charter Communications, Comcast and Cox Communications along with media companies like Disney and Warner Bros. Discovery. Lina Khan decried “Firms…making people jump through endless hoops just to cancel a subscription, trapping Americans in needless bureaucracy and wasting their time & money.”9. In another betrayal of consumers, Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. continues to break promises and speak out of both sides of his mouth. A new report in NPR documents RFK Jr. speaking at a conference in April, where he “spoke about the health effects of exposure to harmful chemicals in our food, air and water…[and] cited recent research on microplastics from researchers in Oregon, finding these tiny particles had shown up in 99% of the seafood they sampled.” Yet Susanne Brander, the author of the study, had gotten word just an hour earlier that “a federal grant she'd relied on to fund her research for years…was being terminated.” Brander is quoted saying "It feels like they are promoting the field while ripping out the foundation." Ripping out the foundation of this research is felt acutely, as “regulators are weakening safeguards that limit pollution and other toxic chemicals.” So Mr. Secretary, which is more important – stopping the proliferation of microplastics or slashing funding for the very scientists studying the issue?10. Finally, in Los Angeles masked federal troops are marauding through the streets on horseback, sowing terror through immigrant communities, per the New York Times. President Trump mobilized approximately 4,000 National Guard members – putting them under federal control – alongside 700 Marines in response to protests against immigration raids in June. As the Times notes, “It has been more than three weeks since the last major demonstration in downtown Los Angeles,” but the federal forces have not been demobilized. While some have dismissed the shows of force as nothing more than stunts designed to fire up the president's base, Gregory Bovino, a Customs and Border Protection chief in Southern California told Fox News “[LA] Better get used to us now, cause this is going to be normal very soon.” As LA Mayor Karen Bass put it, “What I saw…looked like a city under siege, under armed occupation…It's the way a city looks before a coup.”This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

It was a week of chickens returning to the roost as Trump voters start to see some off the ramifications of electing a grifter, hit closer to home than they would like, and we are in the Studio Red Walls to chop it all up on today's episode. We talk about the byproducts of defunding NOAA for Texans, the mismanagement of the economy through tariffs, and the continued terrorizing of the residents of Los Angeles with Marines and ICE agents. Join us as I give my thoughts on the the continued dismantling of our country!

In 1965, the ground war in South Vietnam intensified. In June, the ARVN suffered a disaster at the hands of the Viet Cong in the Battle of Dong Xoai. That same year, U. S. President Lyndon Johnson made the fateful decision to greatly expand American involvement in the war, ordering 150,000 new soldiers and Marines to Vietnam right away and another 150,000 to follow them soon afterward.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Marc & Kim welcome GOP strategist Nicholee Ambrose to expose LA Mayor Karen Bass's reckless disinformation campaign against ICE. The team slams Bass for falsely claiming Marines were deployed in LA, stoking fear and chaos with zero evidence. Ambrose rips into the mayor's long history of radical leftist activism—highlighting her trips to Cuba under Castro and her past silence during citywide crime waves. As ICE agents face doxxing threats and Democrats push dangerous rhetoric, Marc and Nicholee call out the hypocrisy and lawlessness spreading across blue cities. With Democrats now normalizing “resistance” talk and violence over civility, the crew warns of a growing divide fueled by anti-Trump derangement.

What happens after the mission ends? In this episode, we sit down with Marine Corps veteran and founder of VMHA, Dwayne Edwards, for an honest conversation about life after service, the identity crisis many veterans face, and why our system still fails to meet their mental health needs.Dwayne shares his journey from growing up in Jamaica and navigating Brooklyn as a kid, to leading Marines in Iraq and later reinventing himself at Yale. He talks about the cultural pressure veterans face when seeking help, how “claim sharks” exploit those who've served, and how VMHA is disrupting the system by providing ethical, transparent, and high-quality mental health assessments.We also dig into the overlap of firearms, identity, and mental wellness, and why removing stigma is more important than ever.Whether you're a veteran, know someone who is, or simply care about building better systems for those who've served, this episode will challenge and inspire.

Send us a textIn this no-holds-barred Daily Drop, Peaches dives headfirst into the latest national defense chaos—from Humvees rolling through LA to Marines moonlighting as ICE support in Florida. Pete Hegseth wants to bring the warrior spirit back (because apparently we lost it), and Jared's not buying the sudden patriotism unless you're ready to pull bodies from burning cars. Meanwhile, retired four-stars are back in the game pushing for E-7s and more F-35s… but who's paying them now? The Academy is bleeding staff, a nuclear microreactor is going to Alaska (because obviously), and the Air Force just teamed up with AI-piloted Valkyrie drones like it's Skynet 2.0. Also—yes, the Space Force canceled something big. Again. Strap in, nerds.

Transitioning from employee to entrepreneur is challenging for anyone, but military veterans face unique hurdles despite possessing extraordinary skills for business ownership. In this eye-opening conversation, Zach Miller reveals how his company is changing the game for veterans seeking financial independence.Growing up as the child of two Marines shaped Zach's disciplined approach to life, carrying him through careers in sports, music, advertising, and eventually high-powered digital sales roles where he helped orchestrate multiple company exits worth hundreds of millions. When COVID hit, his innovative digital platform saved $105 million in collegiate sports sponsorships, cementing his reputation as someone who thrives under pressure and creates solutions where others see only problems.What's truly fascinating is how Zach connects his personal journey to his mission at Patriot Growth Capital. Rather than leaving veterans to start businesses from scratch, PGC acquires established, profitable companies and creates a structured pathway for veterans to learn, operate, and ultimately own these businesses. Their "Practical MBA" approach pays veterans a six-figure salary while teaching them every aspect of running a successful operation over a five-year period.The statistics Zach shares are striking: only 5% of America's 6.2 million small businesses are veteran-owned, yet these companies employ over 7 million Americans. By increasing veteran business ownership, PGC isn't just changing individual lives—they're potentially creating an economic engine that benefits communities nationwide.Whether you're a business owner considering your exit strategy, an investor looking for purpose alongside profits, or someone fascinated by innovative business models that create multiple winners, this conversation offers valuable insights into how entrepreneurship can be structured to maximize success while serving those who've served our country.

A Few Good Men is a powerhouse military courtroom drama directed by Rob Reiner, starring Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson, and Demi Moore. The story follows hotshot Navy lawyer Lt. Daniel Kaffee (Cruise), who's known for cutting plea deals rather than seeing the inside of a courtroom. But when two Marines are accused of murdering a fellow Marine at Guantanamo Bay, Kaffee is pushed into a case that's way bigger than he's used to. As he digs deeper—alongside Lt. Cmdr. JoAnne Galloway (Moore)—they uncover a dangerous code of silence, a culture of obedience, and the possible involvement of high-ranking officials, including the fearsome Col. Nathan R. Jessup (Nicholson). The tension builds to a legendary courtroom showdown that gave us one of the most iconic movie lines of the '90s: "You can't handle the truth!" The film is a blend of sharp dialogue, big personalities, and moral complexity, making it one of the defining dramas of the early '90s. Cruise brings his signature intensity, while Nicholson delivers a performance that's equal parts terrifying and mesmerizing. The cast also includes Kevin Bacon, Kiefer Sutherland, and Cuba Gooding Jr. in a small but memorable role. A Few Good Men doesn't just serve military courtroom drama—it dives into themes of honor, duty, and justice in a rigid chain-of-command environment. It's exactly the kind of film Dave, Rob, and Kurt can sink their teeth into on Totally 80's and 90's Recall, packed with quotable lines, powerhouse performances, and that unmistakable early-'90s prestige film vibe.

In this episode, we explore the strategic battle for Tinian, a crucial turning point in the Pacific War. As Marines launched an ambitious assault, intense artillery and naval bombardments battered Japanese defenses, paving the way for a daring landing on narrow northern beaches. Marines overcame challenging terrain and fierce resistance to secure critical positions such as Mount Lasso and Ushi Point Airfield.  Despite setbacks, including tragic losses from artillery fire, Marine forces advanced steadily inland. With control of vital airfields and fresh reinforcements arriving, the Marines prepared for the final, decisive push against desperate enemy holdouts on the southern cliffs—setting the stage for the dramatic conclusion ahead.  ************* Visit HistoryoftheMarineCorps.com to subscribe to our newsletter, explore episode notes and images, and see our references.

Bill Berger, Executive Director of Fairbanks Morse Defense, joins us to reveal the transformation of his historic company into a powerhouse supplier for the Navy and Coast Guard. With a foundation laid during his time as a Marine Corps officer, Bill shares his mission-driven approach and the pivotal role adaptability has played in his journey. His story is a testament to the power of people skills in both sales and leadership, emphasizing the need to genuinely understand the needs of your team and customers. Bill's transition from the Marine Corps to sales was sparked by personal circumstances, and he details how an early passion for technology, inspired by his father, has shaped his career in meaningful ways. For those aiming to build a successful sales team, Bill's experiences are an invaluable resource.

The Marines got a much need win last night but they are still seven games back of the Astros in the AL West. Wyman and Bob debate if the Mariners still have a shot to make it to the postseason and what the starting pitchers need to do to get back to what we are used to. // Who needs to get hot on this Mariners offense to get this team back on track? Arozarena has started to heat up but the rest of the lineup has not been producing at the plate. // Take Two: Jeff Passan is reporting that James Wood of the Washington Nationals will be joining Cal Raleigh and Ronald Acuna Jr in the Home Run Derby. Mark Maske of The Washington Post reports that the NFL and the Players Association are not expected to engage in formal negotiations to expand to an 18-game regular season until "at least early 2026." // Wyman and Bob break down an early preview of the 49ers as a part of our NFC West preview. They are one of the least likely teams that would commit to a rebuild with all their core players entering or already in the prime of their careers. 2:45 - Cal Raleigh has made the AL All-Star game roster and will be the starting catcher and he spoke about the experiences he is having with all the national recognition and what he looks forward to about being a part of the All-Star team.

//The Wire//1800Z July 4, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: MIGRANT CRIMINALS INCREASINGLY IMPLEMENTING ADVANCED TACTICS DURING CRIMES. TRUMP STATES NO PROGRESS MADE WITH PUTIN ON ENDING UKRAINE WAR. NORTHCOM DEPLOYS MARINES TO FLORIDA.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------HomeFront-Washington D.C. - Yesterday President Trump spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin by phone, to discuss various issues pertaining to the Middle East and the war in Ukraine. After the phone call, President Trump stated that he was not happy with the discussion, as no progress was made on concluding the war in Ukraine.Florida: Yesterday afternoon, U.S. Northern Command (NORTHCOM) released a statement confirming that 200 U.S. Marines will be deployed to the state to provide logistical support to ICE. The press release also stated that more deployments are expected.California: A total of 7x Central and South American migrants were arrested yesterday in conjunction with a jewelry heist that occurred back in May. Local authorities state that the Bidrussian Jewelry store in Glendale was burglarized by the seven assailants, who exhibited more advanced tactics than normally presented during a standard smash-and-grab. The city's 911 service and internet connectivity was impacted due to the thieves cutting communications cables and using signal jammers during the robbery.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: The use of signal jammers is interesting in that it's a major indicator for the progression of the sophistication of crime in an area. All of the assailants were caught, so it didn't work out too well for them in the end, however this is the latest example of how criminals are learning tactics from around the world. Criminals in South Africa, for instance, are legendary for their widespread use of jammers during criminal activities, both to prevent victims from calling emergency services, but also to disable WiFi cameras and GPS tracking devices. Similarly, the cutting of communications cables has been noted as being effective due to the commonality of  climate activists cutting cables in sabotage operations throughout Europe.Analyst: S2A1Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground//END REPORT//
