John Warren - The U.S. Marines Corps is the greatest fighting force on the planet, but it's so much more than that: it's a factory for producing first-rate leaders, problem-solvers, and innovators.In 2006, John Warren and John Thompson led Marines into combat in the world's most dangerous city: Ramadi, Iraq. But when they got home, employers didn't understand what they had to offer. Undeterred, they founded their own specialty mortgage company, growing it from scratch into a national powerhouse over the course of a decade.When the two decorated veterans applied the values and training of the U.S. Marine Corps to build a thriving business, they defied corporate America's expectations. That's because they realized that, far from producing mindless drones, the Corps trains its warriors in adaptability, initiative, and courage—ideal traits for anyone in leadership.The cookbook that saves lives is here!

Lead Like a Marine: Run Towards a Challenge, Assemble Your Fireteam, and Win Your Next Battle by John Warren, John Thompson https://amzn.to/3NIPACJ The U.S. Marines Corps is the greatest fighting force on the planet, but it's so much more than that: it's a factory for producing first-rate leaders, problem-solvers, and innovators. In 2006, John Warren and John Thompson led Marines into combat in the world's most dangerous city: Ramadi, Iraq. But when they got home, employers didn't understand what they had to offer. Undeterred, they founded their own specialty mortgage company, growing it from scratch into a national powerhouse over the course of a decade. When the two decorated veterans applied the values and training of the U.S. Marine Corps to build a thriving business, they defied corporate America's expectations. That's because they realized that, far from producing mindless drones, the Corps trains its warriors in adaptability, initiative, and courage—ideal traits for anyone in leadership. In Lead Like a Marine, Warren and Thompson lay out the simple, universal rules that helped them succeed, from valuing grit and potential over pedigree, to condensing large groups into resilient “fireteams,” to cross-training team members so that anyone can step up to the plate in a crisis. While the corporate world is mired in maintaining the status quo, respecting status, and flattering ego, Warren and Thompson stripped away the fat that prevents organizations from innovating and excelling. Full of smart, actionable advice, gripping combat stories, and entrepreneurial lessons, this book will give you the tools and the training you need to truly lead like a Marine.

Jamie Walden joining the Marine Corps career was pivotal in his development both as a leader, and what would later be refined into unfettered zeal for the Kingdom of God. Intensive training across a wide spectrum of disciplines served to equip Jamie and his unit to achieve overwhelming victory on the March to Baghdad during Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003. After leaving the Marines Corps, Jamie obtained a double major B.S. in Law Enforcement and History. However, it was also during this same period of time that the Holy Spirit began a radical unveiling of both Jamie's contemptuous standing before the Holy Lord and the New Life offered for the forgiveness of sins in His Son, Jesus Christ. In unconditional surrender, a concept all but inconceivable to Jamie, he forever yielded his will to the Mission and leading of his Savior. Pursuing a career in Federal Law Enforcement, Jamie was selected as an Intern for the United States Marshals Service, and subsequent recruitment to a “Three Letter” agency. It was then, when Jamie received “the call”, that the Lord began testing and affirming the genuineness of his faith. In what began with “DO NOT TAKE THAT JOB,” the Lord initiated a succession of intimate, often painful, promptings that directed Jamie's steps to life of service to the Kingdom. Jamie now endeavors tirelessly to strengthen, equip, and challenge a “Warrior Class” of Christians to arise and take their places as Victors in this generation!

How did the U.S. get from the first flight of an airplane in 1903, to full-fledged military-capable airplanes in only short few years? Dr. Larry Burke, the aviation curator at the National Museum of the Marine Corps, takes us through the people that made that journey happen. He explores the different approaches to the airplane made by the U.S. Army, Navy, and Marines Corps, and why each of them went about exploring military aviation in a unique way. Larry is also the author of At the Dawn of Airpower: The U.S. Army, Navy, and Marine Corps' Approach to the Airplane, 1907–1917, from Naval Institute Press.

This episode of Second Act Actors introduces Barry who's taken a conscious and strategic approach to his move from the Marine Corps to acting. Barry tells me about his childhood passion for acting and how he lost it when he worked in the Marines Corps and then in business. Rediscovering his love of acting was part of his recovery process and he explains where he is now with his career and what his hopes are for the future. Barry busts one of the biggest myths about acting, that of the ‘breakthrough role', and details what he's doing to build up his on-screen appearances sustainably, including working with an audition coach and a stylist. We dive into some of the roles he's booked so far and he tells me about what it was like to film with A-list actor Renée Zellweger. Barry also shares his mindset on auditions and what he does to stay motivated in the face of the odds. Listen out for his ‘pace car' analogy and his advice to new actors! This episode of Second Act Actors is packed full of practical tips on starting out in the industry and building an acting career without burning out.

Paul Westermeyer, Historian with Marine Corps University in Quantico, Virginia, returns for the second episode of our two-part program on the Marines in the Seminoles Wars. The Marines Corps suffered from a contentious relationship with President Andrew Jackson, who wanted the Corps absorbed into the U.S. Army. A timely suggestion from the Marine Corps Commandant, A. Henderson, led to Marines employment on land in the Second Creek and Seminole Wars. and "firmly" on Florida swamp in the Second Seminole War. The views Paul Westermeyer presents are his own and do not necessarily reflect the views of any government organization.   Courtesy art (left) and Don Troiani art (right) The Marines wore a blue uniform but in Florida were more likely to don the white summer dress the Corps offered. This was a more bearable uniform for duty in the swamps and in the humid environment.    Host Patrick Swan is a board member with the Seminole Wars Foundation. He is a combat veteran and of the U.S. Army, serving in Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait, and Kosovo, and at the Pentagon after 9/11. A military historian, he holds masters degrees in Public History, Communication, and Homeland Security, and is a graduate of the US Army War College with an advanced degree in strategic studies.

The Stephens family share how being a military caregiver is a family endeavor and the importance of recognizing that military-connected children and youth are often part of this support.  Show Notes: https://caregivers-homefront.org/  https://www.elizabethdolefoundation.org/fellows/  https://www.whitehouse.gov/joiningforces/blog/2021/11/10/joining-forces-and-hidden-helpers-coalition-pledge-support-to-military-and-veteran-children-in-caregiving-families/ https://hiddenheroes.org/resources/hiddenhelpers/     Bio: Noah Stephens Hidden Helper Noah Stephens is 19 years old and lives with his family in southern California. His father, John, is a combat wounded veteran of the Marine Corps. His mom, Nikki, is his caregiver. Noah has four siblings, and is the oldest one living at home, along with his 15-year-old sister and twin 8-year-old brothers. Noah has never thought of himself as a “caregiver kid.” He just thought he was someone who happened to have a dad who was injured, and a mom who cared for him, and that he helped them both, because he was their son, and they love each other. He helps his family in many ways, whether it's helping his mom with his siblings, running errands, taking on his dad's chores when he's unable to after seizures, and so much more. Noah takes on all of these responsibilities to help his parents along with his own, but he says he wouldn't have it any other way. Noah also knows what to do when his dad has a seizure. He believes it's empowering to have some of these skills that you only pick up as a caregiver kid; but when his dad experiences a seizure, he can't help but feel scared and overthink. Noah has returned to college to study film production. Noah turns to television and film to help relax from the daily stress of being a caregiver kid. A particular film Noah loves is Good Will Hunting. He relates to Will. Noah has experienced trauma and hasn't gotten the chance to heal from it because life as a caregiver kid doesn't let you, but he knows he'll get his chance.   Bio: Nikki Stephens Hidden Hero Nikki had never heard of traumatic brain injury (TBI) until her husband, John, was diagnosed with it in 2009. John was deployed in Iraq and was honorably discharged from the U.S. Marines Corps in 2006. When he met Nikki after the Marine Corps, he experienced some symptoms of post-traumatic stress. Nikki slowly slipped into the role of a caregiver as she helped John manage his emotions. After his health continued to unravel, it took 16 months for doctors to correctly diagnose him with left temporal lobe epilepsy, due to the TBI that went undiagnosed for so long, as well as a host of other issues. That was the moment Nikki knew she was officially his caregiver. Since joining the Elizabeth Dole Foundation as a Dole Caregiver Fellow in 2015, Nikki has sat on numerous committees, campaigns, and is very passionate about serving families of our nation's wounded, ill, and injured service members and veterans. Nikki is committed to building a stronger military and veteran caregiver community. As a Dole Caregiver Fellow, Nikki advocates, not only for her husband and other caregivers, but for military children as well.

Today's interview, we feature Mr. Austin G. Johnson also known as AJ who is the Deputy Associate Director of the Marine Corps Systems Command out of the infamous Quantico, Virginia. This episode is a little bit different than our traditional podcast guests because we are interviewing the associate director of the small businesses, Mr. AJ himself and he is going to describe to us what his command does, what they buy, how they buy and also how you can participate in supporting their particular sub agency. Now for some context, the Marine Corps System Command is a 2500 person organization and they spend 2 billion dollars per year. One famous or well known project they have is the MRAP Vehicle. As an organization they have over 220 contracting officers and 200 program managers supporting that 2 Billion dollar per year, so let's tune in to the episode with our next giant, Mr. Austin G. Johnson.

This episode is a re-run from earlier this year.   Joe Burkhead grew up in a small farming community in central Kentucky with a population of less than 400 people. In a place where fast food and manual labor jobs were plentiful, Joe knew no one in his hometown that was a serious investor. After joining the Marines Corps and being sent to Paris with the Marine Security Guard (MSG) program, Joe picked up “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” and was inspired to invest in real estate.    At 23, with savings largely earned from his first year as an MSG, Joe bought a four-unit apartment building.  This purchase launched an amazing real estate investment journey spanning two decades, during which Joe built a small multifamily property empire in his hometown.   In this interview, Joe shares his experiences with: investing in all phases of the real estate market, including during periods of high mortgage interest rates (6%+!) and in periods of low inventory  securing bank financing to purchase 90 units what to look for when purchasing a property and what to avoid building his own new construction multifamily using leverage to grow and expand your real estate portfolio Joe's incredible story is a testament to what just one person on a federal government salary can accomplish through sheer determination and persistence over time, no matter where in life you start. Be sure to listen to the end to catch Joe's best tips for real estate investors!   Music: “Higher Up” by Shane Ivers

Jamie Walden joining the Marine Corps career was pivotal in his development both as a leader, and what would later be refined into unfettered zeal for the Kingdom of God. Intensive training across a wide spectrum of disciplines served to equip Jamie and his unit to achieve overwhelming victory on the March to Baghdad during Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003. After leaving the Marines Corps, Jamie obtained a double major B.S. in Law Enforcement and History. However, it was also during this same period of time that the Holy Spirit began a radical unveiling of both Jamie's contemptuous standing before the Holy Lord and the New Life offered for the forgiveness of sins in His Son, Jesus Christ. In unconditional surrender, a concept all but inconceivable to Jamie, he forever yielded his will to the Mission and leading of his Savior. Pursuing a career in Federal Law Enforcement, Jamie was selected as an Intern for the United States Marshals Service, and subsequent recruitment to a “Three Letter” agency. It was then, when Jamie received “the call”, that the Lord began testing and affirming the genuineness of his faith. In what began with “DO NOT TAKE THAT JOB,” the Lord initiated a succession of intimate, often painful, promptings that directed Jamie's steps to life of service to the Kingdom. Jamie now endeavors tirelessly to strengthen, equip, and challenge a “Warrior Class” of Christians to arise and take their places as Victors in this generation!

We wrap up our 2021 Summer semester with this extended conversation with returning guest Tom Gathman, better known to outdoor and adventure enthusiasts across the globe as The Real Hiking Viking. A Marines Corps combat veteran, Tom grew up around Penn State football and Joe Paterno - really - his dad produced Joe's famous Holsum Milano bread advertising campaign, which he discussed during our short introductory conversation with him earlier this year. These days, he backpacks all over the world, pitting himself against the elements in long treks far from civilization, but never so far that he misses a Nittany Lions kickoff during the Fall. Sought-after as an outdoor brand ambassador and a die-hard Penn State football fan, Tom also produces the weekly Blue & White Brothers Podcast during the season. In this wide-ranging interview, Chris and Mailman go in-depth with Tom about life on the trail, loving the Lions, and the best way to avoid being eaten by a bear.The Real Hiking Viking's website: http://www.therealhikingviking.com/Tom's previous appearance on the podcast: https://www.statecollege.com/obligatory-psu/spring-21-episode-22-the-award-winner-the-hiking-viking/HOSTED BY: Mike Herr, Chris BuchignaniGUEST: Tom Gathman (The Hiking Viking)

Wanted to take the opportunity to speak with Prof Felix who received his Black Belt last year. He was introduced to BJJ in 2003 when he was in the Marines Corps as he was stationed in Oahu, Hawaii. He began training again in 2012 when he moved to Oakland. Where he fought Amateur Muay Thai and MMA. It's been inspiring to watch his dedication to his Martial Arts training over the years and his dedication to his teammates on the mat for their improvement, all while he manages his time between working full time for Amtrak as an engine mechanic and his continued education.

Built by Heroes, goes behind the helmet to understand the people and brands behind firefighter, law enforcement, and veteran owned businesses. On today's episode we are joined by Tara Cornett and learn how she started her business. Tara is a Navy veteran and have also worked for the Marines Corps and the Army - and my brother is a firefighter. I developed FLAME, a line of decontamination products for firefighters to remove carcinogens after a fire call. While FLAME was developed to meet the needs of firefighters, who work with more toxins than any other profession, there are a lot of professions and hobbies that work with toxins and FLAME products are great for those people as well, as it was developed to remove a wide variety of toxins. When it comes to biz: Find something you're passionate about and just do it. Start now. If you don't know what you're passionate about, start something and you'll find your passion.

Today we hear the combat story of Patrick Moltrup, a former Marine, Soldier, CIA, and Special Operator who served as a Navy Special Warfare Combatant-Craft Crewmen (or SWCC). Patrick served 25 years in the military, much of it in the Special Operations community. Patrick is one of the very few who has been a part of the Marines, the Army National Guard, Navy, and CIA. He spent most of his time with the Marines and SWCC where he worked on all kinds of boats from RHiBs to Mark Vs. As a side note, I was once picked up on these boats and, to this day, these rides remain some of the most fun I ever had, particularly the times at night (it actually reminded me of flying a Kiowa low level with the doors off)! Patrick was also a Navy Corpsman (medic) and attached to various units, including Gold Squadron, one of the assault forces SEAL Team Six, which we hear about in this episode. After leaving the military, Patrick collaborated with Jason Lilley, another former special ops warrior, to create Savage Actual, a YouTube channel and brand where Patrick and Jason discuss games, gear, and the military. They're now working on a video game themselves, have been sponsored by a craft brewing company, and more. I hope you enjoy Patrick's combat story as much as I did.

Host of the "Extraordinary Thoughts For the Ordinary Mind" Podcast, 10+ years involved in the Marine Corps, and now recent Author, "MEECH" is someone you need to hear speak.“If you don’t make a path for yourself, your environment will do that job for you”.This was an early lesson Demetrius “Meech” Thigpen would learn, if he didn’t invocate change within himself.His story is no different than many youth, born in a metropolitan area riddle with drugs, crime, and plagued with addiction. Demetrius, the middle child of three siblings was raised by a single mother due to the absence of his father. Demetrius had to experience at an early age just how detrimental addiction was and the damage it can do to a family. Born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, drugs, crime, addiction, and violence were the norm; and it was a life expected for most. With the lack of jobs and the poverty this city had to offer; Demetrius’s mother did the best she could in raising her two young children all on her own. With the loss of her job combined with the recession, the trajectory of their lives would shift from barely getting by to barely being able to keep the lights on. By the time Demetrius was graduating high school majority of the kids he grew up with had already begun to employ the lessons our environment had taught them; and many had already received the outcome. Demetrius was faced with the cruel realization about his future and what he could get out of this city. Eventually, this led him to make a tough decision at the tender age of 18; join the United States Marine Corps upon graduating high school.The time came and he enlisted in 2009. Demetrius has served 10 faithful years. Throughout his service he has faced obstacles and overcame adversity; deploying to different to countries in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, and the Special Purpose Marine Air Ground Task Force. These tours along with many other challenges would go on to transform him into the man he is today. A Sergeant and Martial Arts Instructor Trainer within the United States Marine Corps, Demetrius has had the privilege to train, lead, guide, and mentor fellow Marines.Utilizing the training he received from the Marines Corps and the experiences from his life, Demetrius specializes in character development. His passion is helping people address the very obstacles that are holding them back from becoming the version of themselves that they were destined to be.Throughout his life Demetrius was able to overcome the biggest obstacle of his life: become a great father figure for his children even though he had no idea as to what that meant since his father battled with addiction for as long as he could remember. A loving husband and a great father to three beautiful children; he not only strives to fully be there for his family but he hopes he is able to inspire others that are currently struggling.Make Today Count.- Cooper

WBZ NewsRadio's Chris Fama speaks to Lt General James Laster, President of the Marines Corps' Toys for Tots program, about how they're cheering up kids in need during the pandemic.

By all accounts, Officer Georges Kanzoghian (also known as Officer Kano) was dealt a difficult hand in life. He was born in war-torn Lebanon, surrounded by death and destruction. He quickly adopted a negative mindset...an understandable byproduct of his surroundings. But that wasn't a destination Georges was satisfied reaching. After immigrating to the United States, he decided to make his own luck. From going to college, to joining the Marines Corps, to eventually joining the Los Angeles Police Department. Georges took destiny into his own hands, and learned about life along the way, and even more about himself. LINK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=4&v=d0o7KP3C4ZE&feature=emb_logo

Jr is one of the most interesting people that I have the honor to call my friend. He is a Marine who has served on 3 different occasions overseas, including a 7 month tour in Iraq. We talk about his childhood growing up in a low income community, his experiences of serving in the Marines Corps, and how he has changed and developed throughout his life.

42 BC Marcus Junius Brutus, a leading conspirator in the assassination of Julius Caesar, dies by suicide after his defeat at the second battle of Philippi. Two years before, Brutus had joined Gaius Cassius Longinus in the plot against the Roman dictator Julius Caesar, believing he was striking a blow for the restoration of the Roman Republic. However, the result of Caesar's assassination was to plunge the Roman world into a new round of civil wars, with the Republican forces of Brutus and Cassius vying for supremacy against Octavian and Mark Antony. After being defeated by Antony at a battle in Philippi, Greece, in October 42 B.C., Cassius killed himself. On October 23, Brutus' army was crushed by Octavian and Antony at a second encounter at Philippi, and Brutus took his own life. Antony and Octavian soon turned against each other, and in 27 B.C. the Roman Republic was lost forever with the ascendance of Octavian as Augustus Caesar, the first emperor of Rome. 1641 Irish Rebellion of 1641 starts as an attempted coup d'état by Irish Catholic gentry, who tried to seize control of the English administration in Ireland to force concessions for Catholics. The coup failed and the rebellion developed into an ethnic conflict between the Gaelic Irish and old English Catholics on one side, and both ethnically English Protestants and Scottish/Presbyterian planters on the other. This began a conflict known as the Irish Confederate Wars. The Irish Confederate Wars, also called the Eleven Years' War would end in English victory and a crushing of Irish Catholic power in Ireland that would last for nearly two centuries. The death toll of the conflict was huge. William Petty, a Cromwellian who conducted the first scientific land and demographic survey of Ireland in the 1650s, concluded that at least 400,000 people and maybe as many as 620,000 had died in Ireland between 1641 and 1653. The true figure may well be lower given Petty's outmoded methodology, but the lowest suggested is about 200,000. It is estimated that about two thirds of the deaths were civilian; at the time of the conflict, the population of Ireland stood at around 1.5 million people, putting casualties at around 1/5 - 1/3 of the total population. 1983 A suicide bomber drives a truck packed with explosives into the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut, killing 241 U.S. military personnel. That same morning, 58 French soldiers were killed in their barracks two miles away in a separate suicide terrorist attack. The U.S. Marines were part of a multinational force sent to Lebanon in August 1982 to oversee the Palestinian withdrawal from Lebanon. A terrorist plowed his bomb-laden truck through three guard posts, a barbed-wire fence, and into the lobby of the Marines Corps headquarters in Beirut, where he detonated a massive bomb, killing 241 marine, navy, and army personnel. The bomb, which was made of a sophisticated explosive enhanced by gas, had an explosive power equivalent to 18,000 pounds of dynamite. 2002 About 50 Chechen rebels storm a Moscow theater, taking up to 700 people hostage during a sold-out performance of a popular musical.The second act of the musical “Nord Ost” was just beginning at the Moscow Ball-Bearing Plant's Palace of Culture when an armed man walked onstage and fired a machine gun into the air. The terrorists—including a number of women with explosives strapped to their bodies—identified themselves as members of the Chechen Army. They had one demand: that Russian military forces begin an immediate and complete withdrawal from Chechnya, the war-torn region located north of the Caucasus Mountains. The siege lasted for about 3 days and ended after Russian security forces released a chemical gas in the theater. All of the rebels and about 170 hostages died during the siege.

During World War I, the Marines Corps needed help on the home front while men were fighting overseas. Opha May Johnson was the first woman in line.

Mobility is important for Marines and armor can get heavy. That's why the Marines Corps is looking for a lighter armor plate to outfit its troops. Federal News Network's Scott Maucione talked with body armor engineer Flora "Mackie" Jordan, on Federal Drive with Tom Temin, about what the Marines are looking for in protection, and how they plan to procure it.

During World War I, the Marines Corps back home needed help while the men were fighting overseas. Opha May Johnson was the first in line.

If you could draft one fictional and one non-fictional person into each branch of the military, who would it be? Despite a ton of confusion, Chaps, Cons, Bren and Kate draft new members of the Marines Corps, Navy, Army and Air Force. They also talk about the best and worst kind of farts because why not. 

Jason Delgado hangs with me for this episode, as we not only celebrate his birthday, but also interview special guest Jeff Gonzales.  We hear from Jason about what goes into promoting a brand new book, which includes doing a plethora of media interviews, as well as putting together two kick ass release parties that he recaps for us.  Jason talks about the importance of glorifying the men he served with in the Marines Corps, and not being interested in whether or not he was one of the best at his job. Special guest is Jeff Gonzales, a guy we haven't heard from since back at SHOT Show 2015, so it was nice to catch up with an old favorite to our audience.  Jeff is a former SEAL and runs his own firearms training facility, Trident Concepts.  We hear from him, as well as Jason, as to what makes a great shooting instructor, and what he looks for in his guys.  We talk disaster preparedness, and also of course have to ask him about what it was like to shoot with the infamous Alex Jones after he posted a picture with him on Instagram at the range. As always, follow us on Twitter and Instagram @SOFREPRadio, shoot over your questions to sofrep.radio@sofrep.com, and now that we're back to a free format for a wider audience, please leave us a review on Apple Podcasts.  We want to see our ranking go up in order to provide you with as much kick ass content as possible.

He's had his own share of challenges but he succeeded in the end. An Immediate Promotion James became a commanding general the first day he arrived in Vietnam.

Chris Kaag, a disabled former Marine, tells Zeke about the degenerative nerve disorder called adrenomyeloneuropathy that slowly robbed him of the use of his legs and made it impossible for him to stay in the Marine Corps. Kaag tells Zeke that he began exhibiting symptoms of adrenomyeloneuropathy in 1997. It started out affecting his gait while running but eventually interfered with walking as well. "I spent nine weeks at Walter Reed Hospital and was diagnosed with adrenomyeloneuropathy," Kaag tells Zeke. "I was in a wheelchair in five years." Kaag tells Zeke that his Corps Fitness classes and philosophy are based on his experience in boot camp with the Marines Corps, which he joined as a 17-year-old in 1994. During a group cadence run that essentially was a 4-mile sprint, Chris’ drill instructor, Sgt. Dave Hart, uttered five words that continue to echo in Chris’ head during his most difficult times: “Don’t quit on me, Kaag.” After being diagnosed with the nerve disorder, Kaag tells Zeke that he realized that the "Marine Corps saved my life. The military gave me the ability to overcome all my challenges. I became a trainer after leaving the Marines and incorporated a military-style approach. I like being able to inspire and motivate people. When I went to boot camp, I was challenged. At Corps Fitness, we have a board that says, 'If it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you." His Corps Fitness classes are based on calisthenics, plyometric and body-weight exercises, as well as team exercises, and are held in a circuit training format. He also offers boot camp-style classes as well Crossfit and kettlebell classes. Kaag tells Zeke that he hopes to push his clients beyond their preconceived physical boundaries. Corps Fitness promotes the philosophies of respect, accountability and teamwork. Every participant in a class helps other classmates to get the job done ... from beginning fitness levels to advanced fitness levels all members works as a team to push through a workout. Everyone is accountable to one another in giving maximum effort and correctly executing exercises. "Sometimes you come in to work out; sometimes you take care of somebody else," Kaag tells Zeke. Kaag admits to Zeke that his military style approach can be a marketing challenge in attracting new clients, but he assures that "you don't need to be intimidated. It's for everyone. I just want to give everyone the opportunity to do the best they can. I want people to be able to tackle challenges outside my facility."

Bat Girl Radio- Listen in as Amy Jo interviews Mark F.MPI Founder & Director   Rising from the ashes radio- Cory Heinzen was asked to join MPS in early 2014 after a rigorous 6-month evaluation period.

Unlike his fellow teammates, Cory didn't grow up around the paranormal or has ever lived in a haunted house. His fascination with the paranormal actually started back while he was serving with the U.S. Marines Corps. Recently retired from the military, Cory now enjoys his time at home with his wife and kids. When he's not spending time with his family, he can usually be found reviewing the countless hours of DVR recordings the team has stockpiled.
