Podcasts about Marines

Ted's an ex-Marine. I guess once a Marine, always a Marine. Right? You know — halls of Montezuma, shores of Tripoli, and semper fi. Since his days in the Corps, Ted's gone on to become very successful in business, but he keeps getting invited back to talk to Marine recruits as an inspirational speaker. And in the process, he tells them about a rescuer who came for him in the Marines and saved him — Jesus Christ. And I love what he tells them — “One thing about Marines — we always go back for our own, and that's why I'm here today. I'm going back for my own.” I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about “Leaving No One Behind.” Those Marines really listen to Ted, because he's one of their own. That's sort of a law of life, isn't it? We tend to listen to our own kind; maybe when we would listen to no one else. Especially when it comes to the rescuer that my friend tells the Marines about. More and more, people aren't going to listen to some “Christian professional” tell them about Jesus. No, even though their lives depend on understanding Jesus. They're not likely to go to one of those meetings that we have. It's probably going to have to be one of their own…like you. Jesus understood that approach to rescuing spiritually dying people. He used that approach Himself in our word for today from the Word of God. Here's the deal: Jesus has gone into Samaria to reach the Samaritans, and since the Jews and Samaritans basically couldn't stand each other, how is this Jewish rabbi going to reach them? He's going to send one of their own to go back and get her own — even though she is probably known for her immorality, her relationships with many men, her string of marriages and divorces. First, she meets Jesus at a well where she discovers who He really is. Then in John 4, beginning with verse 28, the Bible says, “Leaving her water jar, the woman went back to the town and said to the people, ‘Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ?' They came out of the town and made their way toward Him…Many of the Samaritans believed in Him because of the woman's testimony…” Well, they listened to her when she talked about Jesus because she was one of their own. That's what makes you so eternally important to your coworkers, your fellow students, your neighbors, your teammates — you're one of them. They'll be more likely to listen to you talking about a personal relationship with Jesus than to any preacher or evangelist or radio or TV guy. Well, you may say, “but I'm not trained…I've got a lot of problems…I don't know enough.” Excuse me, but have you thought about the one Jesus sent as His ambassador to the Samaritans? See, what qualifies you is two things: you've met Jesus, and you're one of them. He's placed you where you are not just to get grades or get paid or get comfy. He's put you there to take some of those people to heaven with you! So, how are you doing? The best one to reach a lost farmer is another farmer…the best one to reach a lost mom is another mom. a lost teacher, a teacher. How about a lost businessman? It will take a businessman, and so on. But so many people die without ever knowing what Jesus could have done for them. They die without a chance at heaven — because the Christian close to them never told what they knew. That's a death sentence by silence. You don't have to tell them about Christianity, about church, about your religion or a list of Christian beliefs. Just do what the Samaritan woman did — stick to Jesus. She just said, “Come, see a Man!” But don't take them to a well — take them to the Cross and show them how much Jesus loves them. Their best hope is you, because you are already there. Of all the New Year's resolutions you could make, could there be a better one than to say, “I will finally tell the lost people in my world about my Jesus.” You're in their world. You're their spiritual “Marine.” Go back for your own, and don't leave any of them behind.

In this special compilation of The Burn Podcast, Ben Newman brings together two powerhouse conversations that define what it means to live with purpose, resilience, and unrelenting drive.First, Bruce Cardenas takes us through his extraordinary path — from the Marines and LAPD to becoming the Chief Communications Officer at Quest Nutrition, and now a driving force behind brands like Legendary Foods. Bruce shares how his discipline, attention to detail, and relentless commitment to service opened doors he never expected. But beyond his professional success, Bruce's story is about people — the power of building authentic relationships, leading with gratitude, and showing up for others without expectation. His journey reminds us that fulfillment doesn't come from chasing titles but from finding ways to contribute and lift others along the way.Then, Jason Redman, a decorated Navy SEAL, joins Ben to share his story of survival, leadership, and the “Overcome Mindset” that turned one of life's darkest moments into his greatest source of strength. After being severely wounded in combat, Jason refused to be defined by his injuries. Instead, he built a new mission: helping others rise through their own ambushes — the unexpected challenges that test our purpose and perseverance. His story is not just about war; it's about the fight we all face in life, and the power of preparation, awareness, and relentless belief in your mission.Together, these conversations capture the essence of The Burn — the inner fire that pushes YOU to serve, to overcome, and to keep showing up when life demands your very best.************************************Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/KOBRaWl5P8UListen on all platforms: https://www.theburnpodcast.com************************************Learn about upcoming events and coaching: https://www.workwithbnc.comGet Ben's latest book The STANDARD:  https://amzn.to/3DE1clY1stWork directly with Ben: https://www.bennewmancoaching.comConnect with Ben Newman:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/continuedfightFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Continuedfight/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ContinuedFightLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-newman-b0b693Qlogix: www.Q-logix.com/benhttps://www.bennewmancoaching.com************************************Learn about our Upcoming events and programs:https://www.workwithbnc.comLet's work TOGETHER https://www.bennewmancoaching.comLet's work together to write YOUR next book- BNC PublishingSend us a messageOrder my latest book The STANDARD: Winning at YOUR Highest Level: https://amzn.to/3DE1clY1st Phorm | The Foundation of High Performance Nutrition1stPhorm.com/bnewmanConnect with me everywhere else:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/continuedfightFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Continuedfight/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ContinuedFightLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-newman-b0b693

In this prayerful episode for Flag Day, Lynette Kittle reflects on what the American flag has meant to generations of citizens who have lived under its colors, fought beneath it, and looked to it as a symbol of the freedoms they hold dear. Adopted by the Continental Congress in 1777, the flag has witnessed war, sacrifice, and the ongoing pursuit of a more perfect union, and it still stirs the hearts of those who love what it represents. From the iconic photograph of six Marines raising the flag at Iwo Jima to Isaiah's imagery of banners lifted on mountaintops, the raising of a flag has always carried weight. It speaks in an instant of a nation, its people, and its values. On Flag Day, Lynette invites us to do more than admire the symbol — she calls us to pray over it, asking God that the nation it represents would be one that truly honors His name, walks in His ways, and stands for the freedom that comes not only from the Constitution, but from Jesus Christ Himself. As Dr. Jerry Newcombe describes it, the American flag represents "self-rule under God," and that is worth both celebrating and interceding for. Today's Bible Verse "Till you are left like a flagstaff on a mountaintop, like a banner on a hill." — Isaiah 30:17, NIV Ponder Today A nation's flag is more than a symbol. It is a witness. In a single glance, a flag communicates what a nation stands for, who its people are, and what they value. What we pray for our flag is ultimately what we pray for our nation. Flag Day is an invitation to intercession, not just celebration. Gratitude for what our nation has been is inseparable from prayer for what it can yet become. Let patriotism lead you to your knees on behalf of the country you love. Much blood has been shed defending what the flag represents. The sacrifice of those who served beneath its colors deserves our remembrance and our gratitude, on Flag Day and every day. The truest hope for any nation is that it would trust in God. Laws, constitutions, and military strength all have their place, but a nation's greatest foundation is the acknowledgment that its liberties and blessings ultimately come from Him. A Prayer for You Today Dear Father, we pray for our nation's flag to wave in humbleness and hope, representing a country that honors and glorifies Your name above all others. Let it be carried and waved by a people who follow Your ways. Let it stand, too, for the true freedom given to us through Jesus Christ, God's gift to every person who receives His salvation and freedom from sin. With sincere hearts, we ask You to make America a nation that truly trusts in You, and may our flag reflect that trust to the world. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Darrell Castle talks about a bill currently working its way through the U.S. Congress which would, if passed, literally integrate the U.S. and Israeli militaries and would put funding for the Israeli military on auto pilot. Will it pass and be signed by the President? Many people seem to think it will so he takes a look at it today. THE ISRAELIZATION OF THE U.S. MILITARY Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 12th of June in the year of our Lord 2026. I will be talking about a bill currently working its way through the United States Congress which would, if passed, literally integrate the U.S. and Israeli militaries and would put funding for the Israeli military on auto pilot. Will it pass and be signed by the President. Many people seem to think it will so we take a look at it today. Yes, unfortunately it seems that certain members of the House of Representatives and the Senate of the United States are now ready to complete the process of uniting the two countries militaries. The first bill introduced in the House would have literally combined the two. Many of the Israel first politicians are already dual citizens so why not complete the process and stop all the hypocrisy. Just go ahead and make the U.S. military the official enforcement arm of Israeli foreign policy. The most egregious provision of the original bill is that the benefits due to American veterans like me, such as medical and educational benefits would have also been available to all Israeli veterans. That would have been a supreme insult to every American veteran who has ever served. The last time I checked there were about 15 million living American veterans so why not just insult them all while they are still alive. Just tell them all that “your service to this nation meant nothing” but certainly no more to America than an Israeli veteran meant to America. Fortunately, that portion of the bill was pulled before it advanced but there are rumors that it is still out there in Congress or at least in some of their minds and it will be added back in. The bill being considered is the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) which would fund the U.S. military for another year. According to members of the House whose opinions I have read, there is near certainty that Section 224 of that bill will pass through the House and become law with the President's signature. Congressman Ro Khanna, Democrat, and Thomas Massie, Republican tried to pass an amendment to delete Section 224 but the amendment failed. That section will set up a “United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative” that integrates US-Israeli military research and development co-production of weapons systems, licensing agreements, AI, directed energy. Data integration, and missile defense. It creates the framework for bilateral research and development, co-production of weapons, joint ventures, licensing agreements, and virtually every manner of U.S.-Israeli military cooperation. The Director of this “Initiative” who will be responsible for coordination of the work will reportedly be an Israeli. The funding will come 100% from the U.S, treasury through part of the $1.5 trillion defense budget requested by President Trump. The purpose as stated is to fully connect the functionality of the U.S. military with that of the Israeli military in what is being described as an equal partnership that will include the government of Israel and the Israeli Defense Forces as full partners. There will be intelligence sharing and in fact the bill includes a requirement that intelligence must be shared. Israeli forces will be included in the planning process of how U.S. weapons are developed and procured.  This serves to explain at least in part why Netanyahu has been indicating recently that Israel might be willing to forego some of the mandatory $3.8 billion the U.S. gives it every year. He obviously knows there is an even bigger slice of American Pie coming his way via Section 224. The intelligence sharing portion of the bill was introduced by Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas which he calls “US-Israel Intelligence Sharing Enhancement.” Interestingly, at the same time the New York Times recently carried an article entitled “Pentagon Sees Growing Espionage Threat from Israel.” The article is sourced to the Defense Intelligence Agency which says that the espionage threat from Israel is at the highest possible level and even says that Israel eavesdropped on negotiations between the United States and Iran conducted in Pakistan. The senators pushing this bill often refer to Israel as our best friend and most trusted ally but at the same time the DIA has that country listed as the highest possible espionage threat. Just to keep following this espionage threat let me tell you or remind you of a couple of things this best friend has done during its roughly 78 years as a political nation. In 1984 when a man named Yitzhak Shamir was prime minister and Ronald Reagan was the US president; Israel dispatched an American of dual citizenship named Jonathan Pollard to do some spying against the US. Pollard worked in the US defense establishment and had access to some of the most highly classified military secrets. He stole and delivered the entire 10 volume DIA manual of in person or human intelligence operatives all over the world. The manual contained the names and locations of US intelligence operatives working in the Soviet Union and Communist China both countries in a desperate cold war with the US. Pollard delivered the manual along with many other vital intelligence documents to his handlers in Israel. Can you guess what our best friend and most trusted ally did with the manual and other information. Yes, that's right, they gave it to the Soviet Union and Communist China in exchange for “favors”. Thousands of US personnel along with foreign operatives working with US Intelligence were arrested and many were killed so I guess as the saying goes with friends like that who needs enemies. Pollard did his work in 1984 and in 1987 he was sentenced to life in prison and he served exactly 30 years plus five years of probation. He was then allowed to move to Israel where he has hero status. The American Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, had him over to the US Embassy for a little get together recently. That Pollard incident illustrates the one-sided relationship the US has with Israel quite clearly but as bad as it was it was not the worst. No, the worst happened in 1967 when a man named Levi Eshkol was Prime Minister of Israel and Lyndon Johnson was US President. In fact, last Monday the 8th of June was the 59th anniversary of the Israeli attack on an American ship named USS Liberty. The Liberty was an intelligence gathering ship operating in International Waters in the Eastern Mediterranean when it was attacked by air forces of Israel. This attack was not an accident or improper identification or anything except a deliberate act of murder. The Liberty, an unarmed vessel, was relentless bombed and strafed by Israeli jets while clearly flying the American flag. The attack severed the radio mast and cut off the crew's ability to send a distress call but one crewman managed to climb on deck despite strafing fire, raise an antenna and get off a distress call. Out in the Med a US carrier heard the message and immediately launched jets for a rescue effort. I can tell you from a lot of personal experience that there is nothing that motivates US soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines like coming to the rescue of brothers in trouble. Unfortunately, the US Commander in Chief, Lyndon Johnson personally ordered the Carrier captain to withdraw his jets. They left Liberty to die on its own but the little ship and its crew refused to die. 34 men were killed and 171 wounded but the ship would not sink and made it back to port. The pilots of our most trusted friend and ally even machine-gunned wounded sailors in the water something honorable men do not do even when their nations are at war. No real investigation by government investigators with subpoena power has ever been conducted to my knowledge. Oh, there was a cursory inquiry as there always is but according to reporter Donald Jeffries who did a yeoman's job of private investigation and who has written extensively about the matter President Johnson ordered the board of inquiry to rule it an accident. Why did the Israelis attack the USS Liberty. Without going into a lot of what amounts to guesswork, it was probably because Israel was fighting what came to be known as the six-day-war against a coalition of enemy nations one of which was Egypt. The Liberty was to be sunk and the incident blamed on the Egyptians which would have given the US an excuse to enter the war against Egypt as retaliation. In both the Liberty attack and the Pollard incident not a single thing regarding US policy toward Israel changed. Not one dollar was cut from the very generous support.  Compare this to the reaction upon news this week that an Apache Attack Helicopter had been shot down in the Persian Gulf near Hormuz. The President said he would retaliate with a massive bombing attack and would “take over” Iran's petroleum industry. I don't believe the story which makes no sense but not much in this war makes sense. An Apache is an attack helicopter with a mission of finding and destroying enemy armor but it can be used for armed reconnaissance as well. Perhaps that was its mission over the Gulf. It landed in the water with no injuries to crew so no I don't believe it and it was probably done by Israel if it was done at all. I don't think it was more than an excuse to resume the war. Finally, folks, the US has reportedly given Israel more than $300 billion since its founding in 1948 but it is on the brink of an even more egregious relationship whereby it combines its military with that of Israel. Something causes Washington politicians to shower our money that we work for on Israel and to support it while it robs the US at home and commits mass murder abroad. Why is the question. If all our politicians are blackmailed prostitutes shouldn't we have some knowledge of our worth, How much do they get from the pimps who own them. At least that's the way I seen it. Until next time folks, This is Darrell Castle, Thanks for listening.

His twin sister teaches choir in Texas. And David spent the better part of a decade as a professional tuba player before a global pandemic, a family hotel, and one YouTube rabbit hole set him on an entirely different flight path. In this episode, David traces every step of a career change that most people would have talked themselves out of — the 141 versus 61 debate, the flight school that felt like family, the stage check that became his most memorable moment as a CFI, and the three-to-five-minute orchestra audition that taught him everything he needed to know about showing up prepared. His advice is simple, honest, and hard-won: don't chase the end goal. Just be the best version of wherever you are right now.

This is the VIC 4 VETS, Weekly Honored Veterans. SUBMITTED BY: Frank S. Wright sent this via AmericanVeteransCenter.org _____________________________________________________________ Frank S. Wright - Corporal, U.S. Marine Corps (Ret.) United States Marine Corps, retired. I’m a hundred years old now — one of the last living Marine Raiders of World War II. In January 1942, just weeks after the attack on Pearl Harbor, I quit high school in Arkansas and walked into the enlistment office. I was sixteen — too young, too skinny, and too light to qualify. The sergeant told me to come back when I was heavier. So I went home, ate all the bananas I could find, and stuffed five pounds’ worth into my pockets before stepping on that scale again. I passed. I lied about my age. And I became a Marine.After boot camp, I volunteered to join the 4th Marine Raiders, America’s first special operations unit. They asked me why I wanted to join. I said, “Because I want to fight.” Our commanding officer was James Roosevelt, the President’s son — a good man, the kind who never gave an order he wouldn’t do himself. We were trained to land first, fight behind enemy lines, and take the beaches nobody else could reach. From Guadalcanal to New Georgia, from the jungles of the Solomons to the black sand of Iwo Jima, we fought to free the Pacific. On Guam, I was stabbed in the stomach during hand-to-hand combat. On Iwo Jima, I was hit by machine-gun fire and knocked unconscious. Both times, my men thought I was gone. Somehow, I wasn’t. When I came to, I saw the flag rising on Mount Suribachi. Every ship in the harbor sounded its horn. I had tears in my eyes then, and I still do when I think about it. That flag meant freedom still lived. There were dark days too... On Guadalcanal, I caught malaria and ended up in a field hospital — but when my unit was preparing to move out, I couldn’t stand being left behind. I slipped out and rejoined them. I’ll now admit, I was always a little rebellious. When the war ended, I became a drill instructor, helping shape the next generation of Marines. I was in my twenties, carrying wounds inside and out. For more than a decade, I didn’t share my stories. I kept them locked away, like many of my brothers did. Over the years, I began to open up and share my story with friends, family, and others who wanted to know about the realities of the battlefield at the Pacific Front. At my age, I don’t take many things for granted. But I still believe in this country — and what it stands for, Thank you for remembering. Thank you for caring. And thank you for keeping faith with those who served.Semper Fidelis, Frank S. Wright Corporal, U.S. Marine Corps (Ret.) Veteran, 4th Marine Raiders | 21st Marines, 3rd Marine DivisionP.S. When I was sixteen, I had to lie about my age to fight for my country. Now, at one hundred, I can tell you the truth as plain as I know it: freedom isn’t free. ________________________________________________________________ This Week’s VIC 4 VETS, Honored Veteran on NewsTalkSTL.With support from our friends at:Alamo Military Collectables, Gemini Wealth Group H.E.R.O.E.S.

A senior leader failing a fitness test started a much bigger conversation about accountability, standards, and how we treat people when they fall short.Recently, Camel Talk opened up about failing his Army fitness test and taking ownership of that failure. The standard is the standard, especially when you are a leader. Your soldiers and Marines are watching, and leadership comes with expectations.But this conversation isn't about making excuses.It's about asking a different question:Can we hold people accountable without destroying them?In this episode of Meech Speaks, I talk about the balance between maintaining standards and remembering the person behind the uniform. I share my own experience failing in front of my Marines, what it taught me about leadership, and why accountability should create growth, not humiliation.Standards matter.Leadership matters.But how we respond when people fail matters too.Stop being great. Be extraordinary.

In this inspiring episode of I Am Refocused Radio, host Shemaiah Reed welcomes Dr. Robert Yonover — Ph.D. geochemist, volcanologist, North Shore big-wave surfer, and the brilliant mind behind the patented See Rescue Streamer. What started as a terrifying “what if” moment during a single-engine flight over the Pacific — when engine trouble made him realize how nearly impossible it would be to spot someone lost at sea — sparked one of the most practical and powerful survival innovations of our time. Dr. Yonover shares the full story behind the See Rescue Streamer: a simple yet brilliant bright-orange segmented streamer (personal version roughly the size of a cell phone when stowed) that dramatically increases visibility for search-and-rescue teams from miles away, day or night, on land or water. No batteries. No electronics. No chemicals. Just pure, passive, military-grade visibility that stands out against any background. You'll hear how this technology went from a Shark Tank pitch (Season 8) to being adopted by the U.S. military — including the Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Navy, and Marines — and is now protecting astronauts aboard SpaceX missions. Real stories of lives saved in combat zones, snowy backcountry, and open ocean will move you. Dr. Yonover also opens up about the deeper personal journey: 19 years as a primary caregiver to his paralyzed wife while raising young children and building his company from the ground up — often inventing late into the night. His story is a masterclass in perseverance, purpose-driven innovation, and turning personal adversity into something that saves lives. Whether you're an entrepreneur, inventor, outdoor adventurer, veteran, first responder, or someone navigating your own challenges, this conversation will refocus your mindset on what's possible when you refuse to let obstacles silence your vision. Key themes:Turning fear into life-saving innovationResilience through caregiving and entrepreneurshipThe power of simple, practical solutionsLeaving a legacy that protects othersConnect with Dr. Robert Yonover and get your own See Rescue Streamer at seerescuestreamer.com.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/i-am-refocused-radio--2671113/support.Subscribe now at YouTube.com/@RefocusedNetworkThank you for your time. 

What if financial success has less to do with math and more to do with psychology? In this episode of Everything Is Personal, Len May sits down with Doug Lynam, whose life journey is anything but conventional. After serving in the Marines, Doug spent years as a Benedictine monk before becoming a successful financial advisor and author. Along the way, he discovered that our relationship with money is often driven by emotions, beliefs, and experiences we rarely recognize. Doug explains why financial decisions are rarely logical, how childhood experiences shape our money habits, and why many people unknowingly sabotage their own financial success. He explores the connection between wealth, identity, fear, purpose, and personal growth, offering a fresh perspective on what it truly means to build financial security. Whether you're an entrepreneur, investor, business owner, or simply trying to make better financial decisions, this conversation will challenge what you think you know about money. In this episode:

Scott Pelley got fired from CBS News and 60 Minutes after mouthing off to new leadership Bari Weiss — and his tearful New York Times interview is one for the ages. The $7-million-a-year anchor compared losing his job to having "your spouse murdered," likened himself to combat Marines, and claimed he spent nights in foxholes "filling up with water in the desert." Larry O'Connor breaks down every self-pitying, self-aggrandizing moment of Scott Pelley's meltdown.

Most people pick a lane. Jesse Sieff built a whole intersection.He's a Pittsburgh-raised classical percussionist who taught himself piano at age six, trained for the 2008 Beijing Olympics in gymnastics, earned a civil engineering degree, and spent five years studying music at Indiana University of Pennsylvania before driving down to Washington, DC, to audition for the United States Marine Drum & Bugle Corps — "The Commandant's Own." He won the spot with a composition called Chopstakovich, which is currently the #1 best-selling snare solo in the world with over 700,000 YouTube views.Four years active duty and two reserve years later, Jesse founded Sieff Studios in Annapolis, Maryland — a Veteran-owned media production firm built around a single question: "Who is the most important person in your ecosystem, and how do you need them to feel?"In this conversation recorded live at Sieff Studios, Bart and Jesse dig into the non-linear path (engineering → music → Marines → entrepreneurship), the difference between drive as a push and drive as a pull, what 87 miles to Mount Everest Base Camp does to your relationship with control, the science of vibration and the Schumann frequency, and Jesse's philosophy for high-performers everywhere: the playful pursuit of perfection.You'll also hear Bart's powerful Invisible Backpack exercise for releasing guilt about distant family, and Jesse's vision for using drum circles to rewire audience attention at keynote events.If you've ever made a radical career pivot, struggled with perfectionism, or felt like you were watching life from the audience instead of being on stage, this one's for you.CHAPTERS:00:30 Welcome to the Studio: Introducing Jesse Sieff of Sieff Studios02:25 What Most People Don't Do: The Posture of a Student04:45 Pittsburgh Roots: How Music Found Jesse First08:52 Hearing the World Differently: How Musicians Perceive Sound11:37 "Chopstakovich": The World's #1 Snare Solo and a YouTube Phenomenon14:06 From Drum Corps to the Marines: Auditioning for The Commandant's Own18:34 Olympic Gymnastics Training and the Physical Test of Boot Camp20:00 Ambassadors in Uniform: Representing the Marines Around the World21:44 What Really Drives a Polymath: Pull vs. Push and the Growth Mindset25:47 87 Miles to Everest Base Camp: Fear, Altitude, and Transformation31:40 The Invisible Backpack: Letting Go of Guilt and Doing Your Best37:56 The Playful Pursuit of Perfection: A Philosophy for High Achievers42:43 What Is Sieff Studios?

When most people think about BDSM, they think about ropes, floggers, masks, and play. But according to Joshua Rodriguez, those things are just tools. Joshua is the co-founder of The Kink Collective, creator of The Liberated Man, and a longtime educator in the BDSM and power exchange communities. In this conversation, we go far beyond kink and explore the deeper topics that often drive people toward these spaces in the first place. Joshua shares his personal journey through anger, infidelity, shame, late-diagnosed ADHD, and the lessons that ultimately transformed his understanding of relationships, leadership, and personal responsibility. In This Episode 00:02 – Joshua's personal story: growing up, fatherhood, the Marines, family court, and the anger that shaped his early life 05:00 – Infidelity, being "canceled," and the hard lessons that forced him to confront his own behavior 08:30 – Why swinging wasn't the right fit for him and what drew him toward BDSM and leather culture 12:20 – ADHD, late diagnosis, hyperfocus, hypersexuality, and the surprising gifts hidden inside neurodivergence 16:40 – Structure vs. party culture: how swinging and kink communities are evolving 20:00 – BDSM, kink, and leather explained: the differences most people misunderstand 24:00 – Why kink communities aren't necessarily healthier than swinger communities 28:00 – The St. Andrew's Cross, scene building, and why mindset matters more than toys 32:00 – The biggest mistake newcomers make when entering BDSM spaces 35:00 – When kink becomes healing, coping, connection, or self-destruction 37:00 – Should everyone be practicing BDSM? Joshua's controversial take on emotional maturity and readiness 39:00 – Is power exchange really about control, or is it about trust? 41:30 – Dominance versus domineering and what healthy leadership actually looks like 44:00 – Codependency, unhealthy dynamics, and red flags to watch for in BDSM relationships 45:30 – Green flags, red flags, vulnerability versus trauma dumping, and how healthy connections are built Whether you're deeply involved in kink, curious about BDSM, or simply interested in becoming a better partner, this episode offers an honest look at power, vulnerability, trust, and what it really means to lead and be led.

Daniel Chamberlain and Kenny Simpson discuss offseason heat, bringing in Marines through a free Glazier program for a fitness/team-building test, and a Confucius quote about moving mountains by carrying small stones to frame staff development. They promote “The Field House” membership, transitioning from May's gun T offense sessions to June defensive topics starting with defensive game planning, and note they're capping membership at 100. The main episode focuses on head coaches managing assistant coaches: creating a coaches' manual, clearly defining roles, using non-negotiables vs negotiables, meeting one-on-one and weekly, helping assistants reach career goals, and delegating to reduce burnout without micromanaging while leveraging staff diversity. They outline criteria for giving responsibilities (ownership, coachability, willingness) and emphasize correcting mistakes through private, direct communication, clear expectations, follow-up, and documentation when necessary.00:00 Podcast Intro00:36 Summer Heat Talk01:21 Marines Team Challenge02:44 Fresh vs Tough05:09 Quote of the Week07:03 Field House Update09:18 Sponsors Shoutouts10:53 Managing Assistants13:58 Roles and Manuals15:33 Nonnegotiables Framework21:52 Communication and Delegation26:19 Assistant Responsibilities28:07 Earning More Trust29:22 Earn More Responsibility29:39 Staff Goals and Ambition30:31 Coachable Loyalty and Trust31:33 Doing the Unfun Jobs34:13 Delegation Boundaries36:34 Diverse Staff Without Micromanaging39:46 Teach Delegation Not Dumping41:20 Avoid Burnout With Systems42:26 Rotate Roles to Develop Coaches46:02 Correcting Adults With Clarity57:57 Closing Sponsors and WrapDaniel Chamberlain:@CoachChamboOKChamberlainFootballConsulting@gmail.comchamberlainfootballconsulting.comKenny Simpson:@FBCoachSimpsonfbcoachsimpson@gmail.comFBCoachSimpson.com

Patrick answers questions ranging from the three days of darkness prophecy and private revelation to why forgiveness can be such a struggle and how wrath creeps up in daily life, all with a straight-on, plainspoken style that never ducks the awkward moments. He unpacks biblical puzzles like the talking serpent in Eden, considers purity of speech and virtue—sometimes with unexpected personal stories—and even pauses for lighthearted banter about Taco Tuesday. From military mentorship to the challenge of living celibacy and service, Patrick threads honesty and realism through each unpredictable call. Freddie – Why would God do the three days of darkness? (00:46) Henry (email) - Warriors of God for Marines (12:21) Bill (email) - Are we as Catholics called to love and forgive each and every fellow human, including hardened sinners no matter what?

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: Months after Operation Epic Fury, Iran's leadership is reportedly still operating from bunkers and secret hideouts, with regime paranoia and communication breakdowns now slowing negotiations with Washington. New reporting suggests Iran's supreme leader is relying on a secret courier network to communicate as fears of Israeli and American intelligence penetration continue gripping the regime.  British forces are reportedly preparing for a possible mission to reopen the Strait of Hormuz if a peace agreement with Iran moves forward. The operation could involve autonomous mine-hunting systems designed to clear one of the world's most strategically vital shipping lanes.  A devastating suicide bombing targeting a train carrying Pakistani security personnel and their families kills more than 30 people in Pakistan's volatile Balochistan province, marking another escalation in the region's growing separatist insurgency.  And in today's Back of the Brief—another sign of warming relations between Washington and Caracas as the head of U.S. Southern Command visits Venezuela while Marines conduct a dramatic embassy response drill in the capital.

When cocky Navy lawyer Lt. Daniel Kaffee is assigned to defend two Marines accused of murder, what starts as a routine plea deal turns into a battle over loyalty, honor, and the truth inside the walls of Guantanamo Bay. With powerhouse performances, razor sharp dialogue, and one of the most iconic courtroom showdowns in movie history, A Few Good Men proves that some orders come with a price.

In the final battle of the Vietnam War–the Mayaguez Incident– three Marines were left behind on a remote island, and they were never heard from again. Cary Turner dedicated his life to finding out what happened to one of those men— his cousin, Lance Corporal Joseph Hargrove.Leave us a voicemail at 702-706-TALK, or email us at podcast@storycorps.org.See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

AJ Pasciuti grew up in Sunnyvale, California, the son of Italian and Argentine immigrants. After 9/11 reshaped his sense of purpose, he enlisted in the Marine Corps and was assigned to 3rd Battalion, 5th Marines, 1st Marine Division — one of the most storied units in the Corps — where he served as a rifleman and team leader. Over twenty-one years of service, he deployed three times to Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, including the Battle of Fallujah. He led a Scout Sniper team that tracked and killed the most lethal enemy sniper in Iraq — a figure known as "Juba" — and recovered a stolen Marine sniper rifle in what was the first mission of its kind by an American service member since Vietnam. He went on to serve with 3rd Reconnaissance Battalion and 2nd Force Reconnaissance Company, deploying to Helmand Province, Afghanistan, during Operation Enduring Freedom and later with the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit. As an instructor, he taught at the Scout Sniper School at Camp Pendleton, created the Recon Team Leaders Course, and helped develop the Infantry Marine Course at School of Infantry–West, modernizing foundational training for enlisted Marines. Selected for the highly competitive Marine Gunner program, he became an Infantry Weapons Officer and rose to Chief Warrant Officer 3 before retiring from the Marine Corps in 2023. He holds a Master of Business for Veterans from the University of Southern California and a Master of Public Leadership from the University of San Francisco, and is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Leadership Studies at the University of San Diego. He is the host of the Combat Story podcast and the author of Darkhorse: Harnessing Hidden Potential in War and Life, releasing May 19, 2026.
