If you've ever struggled with chronic stress, poor sleep, anxiety, or burnout—this episode might just change your life. I'm sitting down with Jim Poole, CEO of NuCalm, to explore the groundbreaking neuroacoustic technology that's helping thousands of people around the world reset their nervous systems—without drugs or side effects.Jim explains how NuCalm works at the intersection of physics, mathematics, and neurobiology, using patented algorithms and biosignal processing to guide the brain into states of deep relaxation. We get into how it's used to decelerate brainwave frequencies, balance the autonomic nervous system, and bring the body back into homeostasis. This is next-level nervous system hygiene, backed by clinical research and used by elite athletes, CEOs, Navy SEALs, and trauma survivors alike.We also talk about the physiological mechanics of stress, the importance of vagus nerve stimulation, and why breathwork, cold plunges, and psychedelics often fail to address the chronic baseline tension most of us live with. Jim shares insights on trauma recovery, why traditional talk therapy can fall short, and how we can retrain the brain to unlearn suffering.This conversation was incredibly eye-opening. If you're looking for a safe, effective, and science-backed way to reclaim your mental clarity, energy, and sleep—NuCalm might be the missing link.

This week we spoke with the International Spy Museum's Executive Director, Colonel Chris Costa. His decades-long career in the intelligence community spanned multiple continents, running sensitive operations in Panama, Bosnia, Iraq, and Afghanistan, where he earned two Bronze stars for his human intelligence contributions. Later, Costa advised Navy Seals as a civilian and eventually assumed the role of Executive Director here at the International Spy Museum. In this interview, we zeroed in on 2017 when he was detailed to the White House as the Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director for Counterterrorism.

In this episode, Bear and Tony dive deep into the inner journey of personal growth, fulfillment, and self-awareness, reflecting on the gap between external success and internal alignment. Bear talks about how hitting major milestones—becoming a Division I athlete, a Navy SEAL, building a successful business—often doesn't bring the lasting joy we expect, because the mind quickly normalizes achievements and looks to the next thing. Tony explores the importance of tuning into intuition over outsourcing decisions to others, recognizing and correcting internal incongruities (like drinking out of social pressure), and learning to extract joy from the present instead of chasing external validation. Psychedelics, meditation, and real conversations helped them clear internal “static” to reconnect with what truly matters: being present, being intentional, and showing up as good fathers, leaders, and men—not for accolades, but for alignment with a deeper sense of purpose. On the business side, they touch on the power of clarity, cutting distractions, and saying "no" more often to stay focused on what really moves the needle.To check out our brand visit: https://bornprimitive.com/And you can  learn more about Born Primitive Tactical by visiting: https://bornprimitivetactical.comFollow us on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/bornprimitive/Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCruGgs2p3VVVy-v6YTiKuQwPRODUCED BY IRONCLAD

But by complaining and being negative, you are not helping the situation in any way whatsoever." - Jason RedmanImagine coming home from combat in a wheelchair, with metal hardware holding your body together, breathing through a trach tube for over seven months, and having your wife grind up your food so you can eat through a stomach tube. Most people would crumble under that weight. Jason Redman, a former Navy SEAL, made a different choice. Instead of wallowing in what happened to him, he put up a sign outside his hospital room that changed everything - not just for him, but for everyone around him. That single decision to reject victim mentality became the foundation for a recovery that defied every medical expectation and transformed how his family, friends, and fellow warriors saw what was possible in their darkest moments.What Jason shares about the SEAL mindset goes far beyond military training - it's a blueprint for anyone who feels stuck or overwhelmed by life's challenges. He reveals how SEALs use "muscle memory" principles to build unshakeable discipline, why they train for scenarios even worse than the worst-case situation, and how the simple "crawl, walk, run" approach can help you accomplish goals that feel impossible right now. This isn't about becoming tougher or pushing through pain - it's about understanding that leadership starts with how you lead yourself, especially when everything falls apart.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

Text Our Show HostsTonight, we're talking with Special Guest and long-time bunker member Joe Burger, from Florida, about physical fitness and the importance of getting into better shape as a Prepper Survivalist. Joe will hopefully become a regular guest on TOPS Bunker as our personal trainer of sorts, to coach us into shape as part of our preparedness training. He's with us tonight to break down what real functional fitness looks like, why your health is your greatest asset as a Prepper, and how to build a body that can outrun zombies, fight off marauders, and rebuild our civilization, if it comes to that.Now I'll admit, I'm not in the best shape right now, not even close, so I'm kind of looking forward to getting some insights and advice from Joe about fitness and health that I can start implementing right way.Joe's message is simple… Your body IS your most important Prep.It's about resilience and perseverance, and that starts with you. Not your gear, not your gadgets… you. The way you train. The way you eat. The way you move, rest, recover, and repeat.You don't have to be a Navy SEAL. You don't have to run ultramarathons. But you do have to be honest with yourself.Can you carry your own weight? Can you move when it matters? Can you take care of yourself and the people you love when there's no help coming?Every push-up, every healthy meal, every drop of sweat… it all stacks up. And the best part? You don't need permission. You don't need a perfect plan.You just need to start moving.Keep in mind… We don't have to be in great shape… just better shape. As Preppers, let's see if we can't figure this thing out together so, Let's get to it.Visit HoneyComb Holler on YouTubeTOPSBunker.comPlease Visit Our Affiliate Links to Find Great Preparedness Products:JELENS Power Cage 2000 Multi-function Power Rack GoBalance App-Enabled Balance Board with GamesCAP Barbell 150lbs Coated Hex Set with Vertical RackZELUS Weighted Vest Enhanced Work Out Multiple SizesBOSU Balance Ball Trainer Multiple SizesYOLEO Weight Bench Adjustable Total Work OutPURECHAMP Mes Fleece Workout JoggerUNDER ARMOUR Womens Workout LeggingsVOLTRX Electric Protien Shake Mixer/Bottle 24ozBATTLE ROPES 50lb Training Weighted RopeSUPERTRIP Weighted Jump Rope Trainer UpgradedYULATA Ab Roller Full Workout KitMusic: The Talbott Brothers "The Comng Days"Support the show

Krisha Young: Great intro! I agree, that was really amazing. I'm so excited to dive into this. So, I'm in business development at the law firm, but I'm also the capital raising success coach. I'm really passionate about the topic of faith and building a business from the inside out. And it sounds like that's exactly what you guys have done, so I'm really looking forward to learning more about your journey. Chapter 1: TR3 Capital and the Beginnings00:03:02.280 - Matthew Teifke:TR3 Capital is really just me and Robert McLeod—my best friend growing up. Robert was actually a Navy SEAL, and he's one of those guys that nobody thought would make it, but I never doubted him. There's a lot to that story. After Robert got out of the Navy, he asked me, "Matt, I want to be an asset. What should I do?" I suggested he go to Texas A&M. That way, his college would be paid for, and they had a Master's program in Land Development. I had gone through a Masters of Real Estate program, so it made sense.Chapter 2: The Role of Family and Mentorship00:03:44.490 - Matthew Teifke:He ended up going for a year and a half. Then Alex Kaufman, another one of my partners, who's my brother's best friend, got involved. My mom was basically a second mom to both of them. We'd come home from high school, and Robert would be raiding the fridge—family, you know?Chapter 3: The Early Influence of Mom's Journey00:04:04.520 - Matthew Teifke:The story really started with my mom. She was a single mom who raised my brother and me. My brother ended up becoming a reconnaissance marine, and I took the real estate route. Now, my brother is a preacher. My mom was literally cleaning houses, and by the time I was 17, she had 15 rental properties.Chapter 4: Lessons Learned from Mom's Real Estate Journey00:04:34.710 - Matthew Teifke:What I've always admired about that was how she showed me that anything is possible. She taught me what it looked like to build that kind of portfolio. But, she also showed me that acquiring houses doesn't make you independently wealthy—you still have mortgage payments and expenses.Chapter 5: Getting Started in Real Estate00:04:54.780 - Matthew Teifke:That's what got me into real estate. I got my real estate license in college when I was 18. My whole goal was to invest and own. I really wanted to learn every aspect of real estate. I was the first one in and the last one out of my real estate brokerage. I took notes every day.Chapter 6: Evolution into Syndication and Business Growth00:05:14.190 - Matthew Teifke:Now, 16 years later, we're syndicating deals. I own a real estate brokerage in Austin, Texas, and we started a property management company that we've since sold. I also had a construction company that we sold. It's been a lot of lessons, learning, and challenges. Even though I feel like I've been doing this for a long time, this is the first time I've dealt with a downturn in the market, so it's been a learning experience.Chapter 7: Expanding the Portfolio with New Ventures00:05:43.778 - Matthew Teifke:We've bought houses, mobile home parks, RV parks, laundromats, and now, my partners and I—Alex and Robert—are focused on multifamily properties. We're buying distressed debt on deals that people purchased in 2021, and the properties are performing well. Just two days ago, Robert and Alex signed a deal, and they're touring every single unit today. Meanwhile, I'm working on making new connections and finding people who see the value in these kinds of deals.

In this episode of Beyond Sets & Reps, I sat down—literally in the recovery room at Summer Strong—with someone I'd never met until 20 minutes before hitting record: Dr. Jacob Lonowski. When I asked Bert Sorin who I should talk to out of hundreds of top-tier professionals, he didn't hesitate with Jacob's name. What followed was one of the most eye-opening conversations I've had, uncovering how Jacob's winding path—from business consulting to strength and conditioning to PT school—ultimately led him to Virginia High Performance, where he's now helping Navy SEALs and special operators heal and rebuild their lives. His insights on proximity, service, and scaling healing had me leaning in from start to finish. Jacob shares how he's learned to walk in the gray area between performance and recovery—physically, emotionally, and psychologically—and what it really means to serve others at the highest level. We dug into how trauma and sacrifice shape human performance, the challenges of working in elite military settings, and what young professionals get wrong when chasing a similar path.

Every man is different. Some men are intense and need to learn how to pull back on the reigns. Others are passive and need to learn how to crack the whip. My guest today, former Navy SEAL and French Foreign Legionnaire is a man who more closely resonates with the former but understands the implications of both. Today, Taylor and I talk about how and why men self-sabotage themselves, the importance of internal vs. external validation, how a “Battle Rhythm” helps a man maximize his performance, why success doesn't “flash,” it “glows,” and why every man is searching for inner peace and clarity.

seven commitments outlined in his book, Staring Down The Wolf—--alignment. Throughout the episode, Mark peels back the layers of what alignment really means on the battlefield, in life, and in business.    Mark demonstrates how elite teams thrive when they are radically transparent, relentlessly communicative, and connected to a shared vision. He highlights real-life stories from SEAL team leaders and methods such as daily huddles that break down silos and speed up innovation and execution.    Along the way, Mark makes clear that alignment is about far more than just meetings or sharing information. It's about cultivating an environment where vulnerability is encouraged—-where every team member has the courage to communicate openly, rally around the mission, and keep themselves radically aligned for success.     Key Takeaways:  Relentless, Transparent Communication: Alignment can't come without honest and open communication. Open information sharing and the sharing of visions, challenges, and where support is needed accelerate team trust and execution.    Focus Amidst Information Overload: Recognize that while staying informed is crucial, true alignment comes from narrowing one's focus. It's important to ask: does this align with the team's vision?    Maximize Sharing: Expertise, resources, and information should all be shared openly within one's team. Hoarding knowledge can only hurt alignment and trust.   The Importance of Self-Reflection: Discover how regularly reflecting on one's alignment, focus, and potential distractions help teams and leaders stay true to their goals.   Mark Divine is a former Navy SEAL Commander, entrepreneur, and NYT Bestselling author with PhD in Global Leadership and Change who has dedicated his life to unlocking human potential through integrated training in mental toughness, leadership, and physical readiness.

In today's episode of the Sugar Crush podcast, we delved into a transformative conversation about the intersection of technology and environmental health, particularly focusing on pollution within our food systems. This discussion couldn't be more timely or critical, as the impacts of pollution span a vast spectrum of health concerns—from autism to Alzheimer's and beyond.Our exploration began with MedWatch, a cutting-edge technology that promises to be a game-changer in identifying and addressing pollutants. MedWatch serves as a crucial tool in our arsenal, enabling us to monitor and mitigate the harmful substances that have infiltrated our food supply. By leveraging data and analytics, MedWatch empowers us to take informed actions that protect our health and well-being.One of the highlights of the episode was the insightful contributions of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a staunch advocate for environmental health. His perspective underscored the importance of robust policies and public awareness in driving change. Kennedy's involvement signals a broader movement towards holding industries accountable and prioritizing sustainable practices.Additionally, the mention of Kansas City (KC) as a metaphorical epicenter of change was particularly inspiring. It symbolizes the collective power we possess to tackle these challenges head-on. The idea that we have the capability to solve these issues—even if it means deploying Navy SEALs to trace pollutants back to their source along the Mississippi—is a testament to our resilience and ingenuity.This episode leaves us with a profound realization: the battle against pollution in our food systems is not only possible but imperative. By embracing technology and collaborative efforts, we can pave the way for a healthier future. It is a call to action for each of us to play a role in safeguarding our environment and, ultimately, our health.In conclusion, the Sugar Crush podcast today illuminated a pathway towards a cleaner, healthier world, reminding us that with the right tools and determination, we can indeed conquer the challenges before us. Let us move forward with the insight and resolve to make a tangible difference.

This summer, millions of Americans will head to the beach to beat the heat. But how clean is the water they're swimming in? At many beaches, especially on the East Coast, water quality is rarely tested for bacteria, pollution, and other health hazards that may be dangerous to both beachgoers and the many species that live in marine habitats. While the importance of clean drinking water is a well-known issue, pollution in swimming water has also become a serious public health issue in some areas of the United States, even causing national security issues for Navy SEALs, Border Patrol officers, and more who use these waters. Mara Dias, Water Quality Initiative senior manager at the Surfrider Foundation, joins the podcast to discuss how the Foundation's Blue Water Task Force helps monitor water quality at beaches across the country and the public health implications of reducing contamination.

Ryan Zinke is a fifth generation Montanan who serves as Representative for Montana's First Congressional District covering 16 counties in western Montana including the cities of Bozeman, Butte, Missoula, Kalispell. First elected to Congress in 2014, and serving as U.S. Secretary of the Interior between noncontiguous terms, Zinke has built a track record of accomplishments in energy, conservation, tribal and military issues. Now in his third term, Zinke is a member of the House Committee on Appropriations, focusing his legislative agenda on restoring accountability to federal spending, restoring American energy dominance, and bolstering national security at our borders and beyond. Ryan began public service in 1985 when he joined the U.S. Navy and graduated from Officer Candidate School. He was recruited to join the U.S. Navy SEALs where he went on dozens of deployments targeting terrorist cells in Asia, war criminals in Bosnia, and combatting the rise of radical Islamic terrorists in the middle east. During his military career he held a number of leadership positions including as Ground Forces and Task Force commander at SEAL Teams SIX oversaw the U.S. Navy SEAL BUD/S training after 9/11, and was Deputy/Acting Commander of Joint Special Forces during the Iraq war. In 2006 he was awarded the Bronze Star for his service. Commander Zinke retired from active duty in 2008 after serving for 23 years. Following his military service, Ryan was elected to the Montana State Senate and was twice elected as Montana's sole member of the U.S. House of Representatives. During his first two terms as Congressman, Zinke served on the House Armed Services Committee and Natural Resources Committee. As a leading member of the Natural Resources Committee, Ryan challenged the Obama Administration on their policies that locked Montanans out of public lands and introduced legislation to strengthen public access and conservation. In December 2016, Congressman Zinke was nominated to be the United States Secretary of the Interior by President Donald J. Trump and later confirmed by a bipartisan vote in the Senate.

  What does real growth look like? That's the question Mark Divine hopes to answer in today's episode of The Mark Divine show. The fourth commitment of Mark's book, Staring Down The Wolf, growth looks like far more than simply acquiring new skills or certifications. It's about embracing discomfort, seeking variety, and finding meaningful mentors.    Mark distinguishes between “horizontal” development—-learning new tasks and meeting external expectations—and “vertical” development—--which transforms not only what you know, but who you are at your very core. By sharing vivid stories from his Navy SEAL days, Mark demonstrates how growth is a multidimensional process, embodying physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional elements, that prepares us to thrive in an ever-evolving world.    It's not always easy, but Mark offers actionable insights to help break free from one's comfort zone and take ownership over one's personal evolution.     Key Takeaways:  Aiming for Vertical Growth: Recognize that self-development is not about just acquiring new skills—-but changing who you are and how your mind works. Challenge Fuels Growth: Discover how authentic growth does not happen inside one's comfort zone—but rather through pushing oneself and tackling the uncomfortable. Mentorship is Non-Negotiable: Understand that true growth cannot happen alone. The value of having mentors for every dimension (spiritual, emotional, physical, and mental), can't be understated. The Necessity of Growth in the Age of AI:  With artificial intelligence advancing at a very rapid rate, uniquely human capabilities like creativity, resilience, intuition, and integrated growth will be more important than ever.   Mark Divine is a former Navy SEAL Commander, entrepreneur, and NYT Bestselling author with PhD in Global Leadership and Change who has dedicated his life to unlocking human potential through integrated training in mental toughness, leadership, and physical readiness.

When morale problems affect a team, some leaders choose to make a big, rousing speech. But quite often, it's the quiet leader who leads with empathy that sees a better emotional solution.Gordon Schmidt is a retired Navy SEAL with enough combat experience to understand that empathy is an operational advantage, not a weakness. After 20 years of military service, he started his second act as a high school rowing coach. According to Gordo, be it coaching rowers or leading soldiers, the emotional lessons he's learned about leadership apply just the same.In this conversation, Gordo shares with me how to move on into a new chapter in life and why emotional intelligence in high-stress situations is often a leader's only way out.This…is A Bit of Optimism.For more on Gordon and his work, check out:San Diego Rowing Club
