Surviving 2.5 Hell Weeks and 6 BUD/S Attempts | Ep. 251 In this episode of the Mike Drop Podcast, John Collins delivers an unfiltered, brutally honest account of what it really takes to become a Navy SEAL—and what happens when the dream nearly dies. This isn't your typical war story. It's about failing hard, facing humiliation, and coming back swinging. Raised by a hard-charging state trooper in small-town Maryland, John always knew structure. What he didn't know was how far he'd have to go—how much he'd have to lose—before finally earning the Trident. From getting dropped at BUD/S to guarding terrorists in Guantanamo Bay, John's journey is a masterclass in grit, redemption, and what it means to serve with purpose even when the path doesn't go according to plan. Through multiple Hell Weeks, soul-crushing setbacks, and years of grinding through Navy politics, John fought like hell to get back into SEAL training. And he made it. But what happened after is just as powerful. From sniper to breacher to K9 handler, to a complete reinvention in civilian life—John proves that purpose doesn't end with a uniform. ---------- Heartland Steak Stock up with a custom steak box or grab a grill-ready bundle —either way, you're getting the best.

House in the Woods is a nonprofit organization offering outdoor programs to bring together small groups of active military, veterans, and their family members to relax, share, bond, and deal with the stress, loss, grief, and other emotions which can haunt the grieving soul.  We offer canoeing, kayaking, hiking, hunting, fishing, nature tours, campfires, swimming, wildlife identification and spotting, and other natural Eastern Maine resource “treasures” God has given our beautiful state to enjoy. As participants face the outdoor challenges presented by Mother Nature herself, they will have the opportunity to share laughter, memories, sorrow, service, and pride, among many other common. Paul and Dee House founded House in the Woods after their son, Sgt. Joel A. House, was killed by a roadside bomb while serving in the Army in Iraq.  Their vision for House in the Woods began shortly after attending the military memorial service at Fort Hood, TX for Joel and 19 other soldiers from his army base who died the same month as their son.  It was both emotionally overwhelming and comforting to be around so many families who were experiencing the same grief and loss.  They dreamed of creating a program using Maine's outdoor resources that would help military families support one another. Paul is a life-long Maine woodsman and Maine Master Guide. Dee is a former Navy "brat" who grew up in military housing and schools during the Vietnam War era.     www.taurususa.com www.cva.com www.himtnjerky.com www.murrelloptics.com www.jumpmedic.com www.christianoutdoors.org www.citrusafe.com www.elimishieldhunt.com www.mossyoak.com

Send us a textScott Sanders didn't just go from Navy E-2 to Admiral—he took that momentum and barrel-rolled straight into crafting world-record bourbon and hunting MIAs in Cambodia. The Ones Ready crew sits down with the Tobacco Barn Distillery co-founder and Tours of Duty partner to talk Navy aviation, smacking SEAL brothers, bourbon snobbery, and what it means to chase purpose post-uniform. If you've ever wanted to drink patriotism straight from a bottle or launch a 500-lb barrel out of a C-130, this episode's for you. Oh, and PSA: don't mix good bourbon with Coke unless you want to get dropkicked by Trent.

Travis Winfield takes us on a powerful journey from his 24-year Navy career to becoming a successful real estate entrepreneur with a mission to revolutionize how military families experience real estate transactions nationwide.The conversation begins with raw honesty as Travis shares the profound impact of traumatic experiences during his military service, including losing a sailor under his command and the subsequent suicide of his commanding officer. These events shaped his understanding of mental health challenges facing veterans—a critical issue with 22 military members taking their lives daily. His vulnerability in discussing his PTSD and healing journey provides rare insight into the unseen battles many veterans face after service.Travis's entrepreneurial path perfectly illustrates the ancient wisdom "he who chases two rabbits catches none." After attempting to juggle multiple businesses simultaneously—a real estate team, brewery ownership, non-profit leadership—he experienced complete burnout compounded by personal losses. This breaking point became the catalyst for his most important business lesson: the power of singular focus.The heart of our conversation centers on Travis's visionary creation—Military Operator Real Estate (MORE)—addressing a critical gap in the veteran experience. While military-focused financial institutions like USAA command 92% market share among veterans, no trusted national brand exists in real estate. MORE's mission creates a network of military-affiliated agents who understand the unique challenges of military life, while also tackling employment challenges for military spouses and transitioning service members through innovative GI Bill-approved training programs.Travis's story brilliantly demonstrates how entrepreneurship can solve systemic problems while creating sustainable business models. Whether you're a veteran considering your next chapter, an entrepreneur seeking clarity, or simply someone who appreciates stories of reinvention with purpose, this conversation will leave you inspired to find the place where your experience, passion and opportunity intersect.Welcome to the ATLG podcast I am your host Ken Joslin, former pastor turned coach & host of CREATE, the #1 Faith-based Entrepreneur conference in America.

The Royal Navy were issued with their final daily ration of rum - ending a tradition of more than 300 years - on July 31, 1970. The day became known as ‘Black Tot Day'. The demise of the long-standing tradition was mainly due to safety concerns, following fears surrounding the more complex technology now in operation across the Navy. To show their disappointment, some sailors wore black armbands. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly trace back the origins of this quaint custom; explain why spirits had taken the place of beer on boats; and marvel at footage of sailors who were clearly ‘pissed, in both senses of the word'...  Further Reading: • ‘Black Tot Day: rum rations for sailors abolished 45 years ago today' (Daily Telegraph, 2015): https://www.telegraph.co.uk/foodanddrink/10210966/What-became-of-the-drunken-sailor.html • ‘Black Tot Day: The end of the rum ration' (Forces Net, 2022): https://www.forces.net/services/navy/black-tot-day-end-rum-ration • ‘Black Tot Day (End of the Royal Navy Rum Ration)' (ITN, 1970): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gh5PCghfbs This episode first aired in 2023 Love the show?

Edition No204 | 28-07-2025 - Russia cancelled Navy Day parades for the first time – which is a deep embarrassment to the Kremlin, as it's the first time this significant military holiday has been canned. This follows closely on the heels of the airport shutdowns, after drone swarms forced their closure. What does this says about Putin's naval myth colliding with battlefield reality. Well we already knew that the tsar's navy isn't immune from Ukrainian drones.Navy Day (“Day of the VMF”) was revived in 2017 by Putin, transforming Russia's fleet into a centerpiece of national pride. The main event in St. Petersburg featured grand naval reviews on the Neva, with warships parading past Kronstadt, foreign delegations, military bands, and tens of thousands of spectators—major PR theater for the Kremlin (AP News).But this year, the parade was scrapped entirely. British intelligence declared:"It is almost certain that Day of the Russian Navy parades… originally expected… July 27, 2025, have been cancelled… due to force protection concerns."

This week's episode is so beautiful—and one I hope will bring you deep peace, hope, and healing.

Steven Perry's story is one of grit, reinvention, and making the leap—from commercial fishing in Alaska at 14, to making nearly $1M/year running Fortune 100 teams, then burning the boats to launch his own recruiting firm. As founder of The Well Recruiting Solutions, he now builds revenue-generating teams for advisory firms, aiming to empower 1,000+ clients by 2030. On this episode we talk about: Early hustle: commercial fishing in Alaska, learning at 14 the difference between working for a check and owning the business His first true entrepreneurial venture—sealing driveways, scaling a six-figure business by the end of college, and the lesson he learned when he simply shut it down instead of selling it Why Steven ultimately turned down a prestigious ROTC scholarship and a Navy career path to pursue entrepreneurship and finance His entry into financial services, starting as an intern at New York Life, becoming a top-producing advisor, and why being surrounded by high performers forced him to level up Lessons from sales and financial advising—mastering rejection, discipline, and the numbers game ("Whoever's willing to be told 'no' the most wins fastest") How being in the right environment and seeing other people succeed reframed what's possible, pushing him to greater heights Reaching financial milestones by 30—making $500K/yr, giving away and saving large percentages, but discovering money alone doesn't bring fulfillment or lasting happiness The personal finance strategy that enabled freedom: maximizing cash value life insurance and variable universal life for tax-free, flexible, and compound growth (plus why he prefers guaranteed accounts over variable for business owners) Navigating the transition out of a lucrative corporate job: searching for purpose, listening to intuition, and eventually being "pushed" into launching his own firm after a job opportunity disappeared How The Well Recruiting Solutions emerged from listening, networking, and recognizing a deep need for white-glove recruiting in wealth management; now scaled to nearly 30 employees with a future goal of $1B in revenue The difference between grinding for someone else and building for yourself—now hiring for his strengths and delegating everything else for maximum impact and fulfillment Top 3 Takeaways Ownership > High Salary: Building long-term wealth and fulfillment comes from owning and growing businesses, not just earning a high paycheck. Skill Stacks Compound: Every job, network, and hard moment (from fishing boats to insurance sales) built the resilience and expertise needed for entrepreneurial success. Freedom is Designed: Smart moves—like flexible, tax-efficient investments—enable you to take risks, start over, and say yes to your true calling without fear. Notable Quotes “I looked up and had a great income, but I didn't own anything. The day I left was the day there was no more equity, no more income.” “Whoever's willing to be embarrassed, to be told no, the most—wins the fastest.” “If you operate in your gifting all day, you'll be more profitable and productive.

The guys pick up where they left off and begin with Rich's key steps to the oil embargo of July 1941. The discussion is fascinating as the trio waxes poetic on the world view situation as looked at by the Roosevelt administration, speaking on topics ranging from the Eastern Front and Operation TYPHOON, to the Japanese quest for oil and the American's action to shut off the spigots--all which lead to the inevitable in December. Then the guys get into the weeds regarding Japanese diplomats Nomura and Kurusu and their last-minute "attempts" to ward off the war that everyone knew was coming. A truly fascinating discussion that is worth your time as we continue our build-up to the Japanese attack and US involvement in World War II in this, our second episode, of the Pearl Harbor series.  #wwiihistory #wwiihistory #ww2 #usnavy #usa #usarmy #medalofhonor #enterprise #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #cv6 #midway #wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #worldwar2 #usnavy #usnavyseals #usmc #usmarines #saipan #usa #usarmy #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #battleship #battleships #ussenterprise #aircraftcarriers #museum #essex #halsey #taskforce38 #wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #usnavy #usa #usarmy #medalofhonor #enterprise #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #cv6 #midway #wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #worldwar2 #usnavy #usnavyseals #usmc #usmarines #saipan #usa #usarmy #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #battleship #battleships #ussenterprise #aircraftcarriers #museum #hollywood #movie #movies #books #mastersoftheair #8thairforce #mightyeighth #100thbombgroup #bloodyhundredth #b17 #boeing #airforce wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #usnavy #usa #usarmy #medalofhonor #enterprise #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #cv6 #midway #wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #worldwar2 #usnavy #usnavyseals #usmc #usmarines #saipan #usa #usarmy #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #battleship #battleships #ussenterprise #aircraftcarriers #museum #hollywood #movie #movies #books #oldbreed #1stMarineDivision #thepacific #Peleliu #army #marines #marinecorps #worldwar2 #worldwar #worldwarii #leytegulf #battleofleytegulf #rodserling #twilightzone #liberation #blacksheep #power #prisoner #prisonerofwar #typhoon #hurricane #weather #iwojima#bullhalsey #ace #p47 #p38 #fighter #fighterpilot #b29 #strategicstudying #tokyo #boeing #incendiary #usa #franklin #okinawa #yamato #kamikaze #Q&A #questions #questionsandanswers #history #jaws #atomicbomb #nuclear #nationalarchives #nara #johnford #hollywood #fdr #president #roosevelt #doolittle #doolittleraid #pearlharbor

Sent us text! We would love to hear from you!Even though you have probably heard it before, it bears repeating. Staying physically active is a form of life-therapy for your body. Our newest Wingman, ACE, is making his formal debut by joining us in our response to requests from the Frequent Flow Line. Divorce is a difficult situation for all involved. Despite the deep sorrow and life adjustments that have to be made, there is hope in the future as long as you allow yourself to be open to the expression and reception of a sense of joy in your life. There are good things happening in the world. Every now and then a retired professional athlete decides to abandon retirement and reenter the world of sports in a request to reclaim a sense of glory from the past. World class athletes have physical abilities far beyond the average person. As an example, Venus Williams, age 45, is coming out of retirement to compete once again on the world stage in the sport of tennis. It will be interesting to see if her already-retired sister, Serena, can be persuaded to follow in the footsteps of her older sibling. Both the Navy and U.S. Air Force have flight demonstration teams that delight  millions of onlookers each year. Few know that one of the main differences between the two teams is that the Air Force pilots use G-Suits to help maintaining consciousness during aggressive maneuvers, whereas the Navy Blue Angels do not use them at all, allowing for a tighter and more precise formation. Meet a wingman who saved a stranded couple and their beloved pet from death by helping them escape a raging river of water that swept their vehicle , just before it was completely submerged. 

Join us for an engaging conversation with Michael Bedenbaugh, a respected voice in historic preservation, community development, and constitutional governance. As the former president and executive director of Preservation South Carolina and current host of "Reviving Our Republic," Michael brings a unique perspective that bridges America's founding principles with modern political challenges. About Our Guest Michael's impressive background spans military service (five years in the U.S. Navy aboard the USS South Carolina), corporate leadership (former CEO of Post No Bills, Inc.), and grassroots governance (city council member and county Board of Zoning Appeals chair). His dedication to community revitalization earned him South Carolina's highest civilian honor, the Order of the Palmetto, awarded by Governor Henry McMaster. Episode Highlights In this thought-provoking discussion, we explore Michael's bold proposals for constitutional and electoral reform, including: Campaign Finance Reform: Restricting political donations to qualified individual voters only Legislative Transparency: Ending omnibus bills and requiring single-subject legislation Electoral System Overhaul: Implementing ranked choice voting and reforming the Electoral College Constitutional Amendments: Distinguishing between natural persons and corporations in law Federal Debt Management: Creating definable plans for debt reduction State vs. Federal Power: Repealing the 17th Amendment and strengthening state governance Military Service Reform: Establishing state-based home guard training programs Key Discussion Points We dive deep into the tension between federal influence and state sovereignty, examining why Americans often overlook state government importance despite its closer connection to daily life. Michael challenges conventional wisdom about voting reform, government accountability, and the role of states in preserving constitutional principles. Why This Matters Michael's perspective offers a fresh take on bridging political divides through constitutional originalism and community-focused governance. His approach combines historical reverence with practical solutions, making complex political theory accessible and actionable.

In this episode, I sit down with Clay Moffat, a former Navy weapons tech turned high-performance behavioral strategist and author of The Trust Trap. Clay's life took a sharp turn when he went legally blind in one eye, torched a 7‑figure business chasing a failed app, and was forced to confront the patterns of self-betrayal that had shaped his identity. Through raw introspection and tactical reframing, he rebuilt himself—and now helps leaders reclaim their authority and live in ruthless alignment with their values. Clay's story is an unfiltered look at the high cost of misalignment—and the deep power of rewiring trust, from the inside out.Some Key Highlights:The identity-shattering moment he realized self-betrayal was at the root of his strugglesHow he rewrote his inner dialogue by uncovering the positive intent behind toxic self-talkThe nuanced difference between trust as a virtue vs. trust as a mutual exchangeWhat it really takes to recover after burning your business—and your reputation—to the groundHis radical view on boundaries, victimhood, and personal sovereigntyThis episode is packed with insights that challenge conventional thinking on trust, identity, and power. Whether you're rebuilding after a fall or ready to stop betraying your own standards, Clay's perspective is a must-hear.Clay's links:https://www.facebook.com/clay.moffathttps://x.com/MoffatClaywww.claymoffat.com/We'd appreciate a review on Apple Podcasts and/or Spotify.

Scott Zimmerman didn't join a bowling league when he moved across the country with the Navy—he joined the choir.Stacie Schubert joined a Bible study group that lasted 5 years and doubled as a Monday night dinner club and spiritual lifeline.Also, yes—there was liturgical dance. And calling cards. And a naked guy on a hike. (You'll have to listen for that one.)This week on Together 4 Good, Pastor Nate Preisinger sits down with Scott and Stacie—a married couple and longtime Bethany Lutheran members—for a deeply honest and unexpectedly hilarious conversation about what keeps them coming back to church.From youth camp mountaintop moments to the comfort of choir rehearsal, they talk about the power of spiritual routine, the beauty of multigenerational connection, and why Disciple Bible Study turned out to be the gateway to real belonging.Pastor Nate hosts the kind of conversation you wish more churches were having: real talk about doubt, community, and why church is still worth showing up for.And the answers? Let's just say, they're everything you hope church could be.Why Listen:You want to believe church can still be fun (spoiler: it can)You've had a complicated relationship with faith and want to hear from people who stuck around anywayYou like pastors who don't take themselves too seriously but still take faith seriouslyWhat You'll Hear About:Camp stories, calling cards, and the kind of friendships that started with letter writing and never really ended.Why choir is more than music—it's connection without the uniformWhat happens when Bible study turns into found familyHow church can hold grief, growth, questions, and the occasional dance videoWhy showing up still matters—even when you don't want to

Join Jim and Greg for Monday's 3 Martini Lunch as they dig into the steep drop in violent crime in Baltimore, President Trump's new trade deal with the European Union, and a bizarre lawsuit blaming the U.S. Navy's Blue Angels for terrorizing a cat in its final days.First, they examine the dramatic decrease in Baltimore's murder rate since voters ousted soft-on-crime prosecutor Marilyn Mosby in the 2022 Democratic primary. Her replacement, Ivan Bates, pledged a return to aggressive prosecutions, and the numbers show it's working. Under Mosby, there were 334 murders in 2022. Last year, the total dropped to 202, and the city has recorded just 68 homicides so far in 2024. Jim and Greg argue it's no mystery what's driving the improvement.Next, they dissect President Trump's trade agreement with the European Union, which includes lowered tariffs and major commitments from Europe to buy U.S. energy and weapons. Jim says this deal is a significant relief given what would have happened later this week without a deal. But he's still concerned that American consumers will end up paying more for a lot of things.Finally, they lambaste the crazy cat lady, who decided to sue the Blue Angels for disturbing the final days of her cat, as it died from heart disease. Jim is flabbergasted that anyone could blame the progression of heart disease on noise from planes. He's also greatly annoyed that the lady is referred to as that cat's "human mother" in news reports.Please visit our great sponsors:No missed calls, no missed customers with OpenPhone.

In Episode 206 of the Transition Drill Podcast, retired Navy Commander Victor Avila's story begins in Tijuana, Mexico, and stretches across decades of challenge, growth, and purpose. From surviving an abusive home and immigrating to the United States at age nine, to eventually retiring as a Navy Commander and flying commercial jets for American Airlines, Victor's path is anything but conventional.Victor opens up about his chaotic upbringing, his struggles with school, and his early failures in the military. He talks candidly about enlisting in the Navy with no direction, then joining the Army out of desperation after separating. It wasn't until a pivotal assignment in Germany, where he met his future wife and pursued a college degree, that Victor began to rebuild his life with discipline and clarity.Victor eventually returned to the Navy, earned his commission, and fulfilled his childhood dream of becoming a pilot. He rose to the rank of O5, serving as both aviator and instructor. Though not directly stated in the interview, Victor officially retired from the Navy in 2022 and now flies for American Airlines.His story resonates with veterans and first responders who may be struggling with transition, self-doubt, or the weight of past mistakes.

Dive into the strengths and weaknesses of China's military and its remarkable transformation over the last few decades from obsolete to world-class in a new special series on Battle Lines.How significant is China's military buildup? What does Xi Jinping's ongoing purge mean for the People's Liberation Army? And how likely is an invasion of Taiwan in the next few years? As the US pivots to the Indo-Pacific and the threat of a truly global war looms, understanding the evolving role of China's military on the world stage has never been more important.In episode one of this three-part series, Venetia Rainey uncovers the strengths that define the PLA today, from its vastly modernised Navy, now the largest globally, to its Air Force equipped with stealth fighters and advanced drones.Plus, a look at China's potent non-conventional forces, such as its highly sophisticated cyber warfare units, its independent aerospace and counter-space capabilities, and the secretive Rocket Force, responsible for a fast-expanding nuclear arsenal.With thanks to Dr Phillip Saunders and Joel Wuthnow from the Center for the Study of Chinese Military Affairs at the Institute for National Strategic Studies, and Oriana Skylar Mastro from the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies at Stanford University.Archive used: WION, SBS News, PBS News Hour, Channel 4, NATO, DRM News, CGTN, GettyEpisode two out on Wednesday, 30/07/25.Contact us with feedback or ideas: battlelines@telegraph.co.uk@venetiarainey@RolandOliphant Hosted on Acast.

I know I'm dating myself, but here goes… Back in the 1960's there was a television show called “Sea Hunt.”  The show centered around a free-lance scuba diver named Mike Nelson, played by Lloyd Bridges. Mike Nelson was a former Navy diver and a member of the Coast Guard Auxiliary. As a free-lance diver, he was hired for all kinds of dangerous underwater work, everything from salvaging precious cargo from wrecked ships to rescuing people trapped in caves. Each episode had dangerous situations and villains who were ready to slash the hoses on Mike's air tanks.  In nearly every episode, Mike would have to make a hasty ascent from the depths, which he would attempt to time carefully to avoid “the bends,” a potentially fatal condition more formally called decompression sickness. On occasion. Mike would have to spend time in a decompression chamber.  Watching this as a child, I was fascinated by the danger of too hasty a return to the surface. On the one hand, Mike would be running out of oxygen and would need to get back on the boat quickly. But on the other hand, making his return too quickly could prove fatal. Talk about a dilemma. Today's show is not about the bends, but it is about the possible downside, although not a potentially fatal one, of returning to your regular practice routine too quickly after your vacation. If you're like me, you may come back from vacation with your fingers itching to get back on the harp strings. If you run right to the harp however, you might find it more challenging or even frustrating than you expected. Broken strings and creaky fingers are annoying enough to deal with, but the real issue is that the pieces we were working on seem so far from where we left them. In my experience, diving right into your usual kind of practice can instantly deflate your post-vacation high. Instead of being able to keep that feeling of freshness, relaxation and renewal, you're right back into the practice grind you left. What's the fix? The good news is that we don't need a decompression chamber. All we need is the right mindset and a plan, and I have both of those for you today.

Democrats on the House Oversight Committee sent a letter to the General Services Administration on Friday demanding more information about how the agency is using Grok, the artificial intelligence chatbot built by Elon Musk's xAI. The correspondence comes after FedScoop reporting earlier this month revealed that government coders at GSA seemed to be looking at integrating Grok into their artificial intelligence work. Other sources told FedScoop that Grok had recently been approved for integration as an option into the GSAi app, a platform the agency has built to help federal workers access various generative AI models. Four days after the publication of FedScoop's story, xAI officially announced a “Grok for Government” service and confirmed that the company had been working to make its product available through GSA. As a result, Grok said ”every federal government department, agency, or office” could now access the company's tools. xAI also announced a $200 million Defense Department contract. The federal government's interest in using Grok — which recently espoused antisemitic and pro-Hitler content — has received pushback from Democrats. A group of Jewish Democrats recently wrote to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth about their concerns with the tool. Democrats in the House AI Caucus have also raised issues with the use of Grok, as has Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who condemned the Pentagon contract on the chamber's floor. But the latest letter, obtained by FedScoop, demands more information on the GSA's work with Grok. The letter was addressed to Stephen Ehikian, the deputy GSA administrator who led the agency on an acting basis until earlier this week, and signed by Reps. Robert Garcia of California and Stephen Lynch of Massachusetts, the current and former ranking members of the committee, respectively. An outage last week of Starlink, the satellite internet service run by Elon Musk's company SpaceX, did have an impact on some services in the federal government. While several civilian federal agencies told FedScoop that the service interruption didn't disrupt operations, the U.S. Space Force confirmed that Starshield, the military-focused communications service on the Starlink network, was taken offline during the outage. “The Space Systems Command Commercial SATCOM Communications Office procures Starshield Global Access services over the Starlink Satellites/network,” a spokesperson for Space Systems Command told FedScoop. The spokesperson continued: “As such, the global outage did affect CSCO customers for the entire duration of the outage (~2.5hrs for most users). Services had a partial restoration midway through the outage and a complete restoration by the stated end time.” Defense customers are currently able to access Starshield through the Space Force, among other procurement mechanisms, SpaceX's website states. SpaceX says Starshield is for “national defense use cases” while Starlink “is not intended for any military end-uses or end-users.” Several branches of the U.S. military are currently testing or using Starshield, including the Air Force and the Navy. A spokesperson for the U.S. Coast Guard told FedScoop earlier this month that the agency began installing both Starlink and Starshield back in 2023.

This week, we welcome Christian Geyer, founder and CEO of ACTFORE, for a deep dive into the world of automated breach response. From his early days in military intelligence to founding a disruptive forensics firm, Christian shares how his diverse experiences shaped a data‑driven approach to tackling one of corporate America's thorniest problems: managing the chaos of a data breach. Along the way we hear about secret clearances, cabinet making, and the humble beginnings of a startup launched from a literal closet.Christian's journey is anything but ordinary. Recruited straight into an intelligence agency at nineteen, he cut his teeth on top‑secret work before supporting Navy research labs with data dashboards that informed mission‑critical funding decisions. When an injury sidelined him from field ops, he turned to carpentry, framing houses and crafting cabinets during the mid‑2000s flip boom. That hands‑on trade remains Christian's reminder that some skills can't be automated, even as he builds AI to do the heavy lifting elsewhere.He carried that disruptive spirit into Crypsis Group, undercutting the incident response market with half‑price forensics and skyrocketing revenue from zero to $20 million in four years. COVID's budget cuts then prompted a pivot: leveraging ActiveNav's data‑discovery engine to automate breach notification. What began as a side project in a shared office closet evolved into ACTFORE, a company that in a single four‑and‑a‑half‑day engagement processed 3 million patient records across 2 000 endpoints, cementing its reputation for speed, accuracy, and onshore security.At the heart of ACTFORE's offering is an automated extraction platform powered by “infant AI” tailored to each client. Rather than shipping data overseas for human review, Christian's team uses software instances—deployed globally or on‑premise, to scan, fingerprint, and parse structured and unstructured files. Their Trace tool brings the automation into one‑click point‑and‑extract workflows, slashing keystrokes and crushing review timelines by weeks without sacrificing human‑in‑the‑loop oversight where it matters most.Looking ahead, Christian warns of a new insider threat: AI models trained on proprietary data that could be weaponized from within. While ACTFORE continues to focus on reactive breach response, Christian sees advisory and proactive scanning services on the horizon, particularly in regions with more robust data regulations. As breach frequency rises and AI proliferates, ACTFORE aims to stay ahead of the curve, turning its combination of automation, human expertise, and a closet‑born scrappiness into the next frontier of cybersecurity.  Blue Sky: ⁠⁠@geeklawblog.com⁠⁠ ⁠⁠@marlgeb⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email: geekinreviewpodcast@gmail.comMusic: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Jerry David DeCicca⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Transcript

In this powerful episode of What Are You Made Of?, host Mike "C-Roc" welcomes Marcus Norman, Navy veteran, entrepreneur, and host of the Gentleman Style Podcast. Marcus shares a compelling journey that began on the small island of St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands, where he started working at age 10 to help support his father. He opens up about how growing up with grit, hustle, and purpose shaped his mindset and work ethic, eventually leading him into the U.S. Navy where he served eight years as a submarine sailor. Marcus reveals how the discipline and structure of military life helped him mature and sharpen his entrepreneurial instincts, especially in areas like real estate and personal finance. After leaving the military, Marcus began house hacking his way through multiple properties, ultimately selling them to invest in his newest venture: Lifeologie Counseling Hampton Roads, a fast-growing mental health franchise. He dives into the challenges and rewards of entering the healthcare space with no clinical background, scaling a business built around purpose, and building an organization that attracts both clients and top-tier therapists. From navigating the depths of the ocean to navigating the complexities of mental health care, Marcus's story is an inspiring reminder of what it means to lead with resilience, purpose, and relentless self-growth.Website-www.gentlemanstylepodcast.com Social Media Links/Handles-https://www.facebook.com/gentlemansvizion/https://www.instagram.com/gentlemanstylepodcast/?hl=en

Hunter Biden just dropped a bombshell: his father Joe Biden, then 81, was on Ambien before his disastrous June 2024 debate against Trump, leaving him dazed and confused on stage – and many suspect the powerful sleep aid influenced the former President's ability to issue last-minute pardons and prompted the infamous use of an autopen to sign the documents. In an interview with legendary journalist Andrew Callaghan, Hunter Biden revealed how his father, former President Joe Biden, was prescribed Ambien to sleep after extensive travel. This marked the first time anyone close to Biden linked the sleeping pill to his stumbling, raspy debate performance, which sparked concerns about his fitness for another term. Weeks later, Biden exited the 2024 race – even as aides continued to insist he was fit to lead the United States for another 4 years.
