In this episode of the Guns Podcast U.S., hosts Brent Wheat and Roy Huntington dive deep into the crucial topic of professional firearms training. While many gun owners believe growing up hunting or previous military experience is enough, Brent and Roy explain why shooting is a perishable skill that requires ongoing education and consistent tactical standards. They break down the three distinct tiers of training available to civilians: the local gun instructor, the itinerant traveling trainer, and prestigious academies like Gunsite and Thunder Ranch. Finding the right teacher can be daunting, so the hosts provide a no-nonsense guide on how to vet potential instructors and avoid the "elite club" mentality. They discuss common industry pitfalls, including firearms instructor critiques, massive egos, and unsafe range behaviors. They also tackle the misconception that being a former Navy SEAL automatically makes someone a great teacher. Whether you are a brand new shooter looking for affordable shooting drills or an experienced CCW carrier seeking advanced tactics, this episode provides the roadmap to finding reputable, safe, and effective training while defending your 2nd Amendment rights. Key Topics Covered: • The "Gatekeeping" Myth: Is high-level training a barrier or a necessity? • Vetting Instructors: How to spot "Tacticool" ego versus actual expertise. • Training Tiers: From local shops to world-class academies. • Skill Maintenance: Why your 10-year-old CCW qualification doesn't count today. -- The Guns Podcast is presented by TangoDown.

Welcome back to When Words Fail, Music Speaks, the show where we explore how melody, rhythm, and raw honesty become a lifeline for anyone wrestling with life's highs and lows. I'm your host, James Cox, and today's conversation digs deep into the heart of a true under‑dog story.Our guest is none other than Paul McCoy, the powerhouse vocalist of 12 Stones—the band behind anthems like Anthem for the Underdog, We Are One, and the hauntingly relevant track World So Cold. Paul opens up about the exact moment that song sprang to life in a studio lounge, surrounded by a barrage of negative news, and why it still feels “as fresh as the day it was written.”But the thread of this episode runs far beyond a single track. Paul shares:A gritty backstage pass to his collaborations with WWE—how his high‑energy music landed in the arena, the Judgment Day theme, and the ripple effect it had on film and television placements.A once‑in‑a‑lifetime trek with Navy SEALs in Coronado, the inspiration behind the EP The Only Easy Day Was Yesterday and the anthem We Are One.A personal battle with partial hearing loss, a childhood tumor, and a deaf ear that forged a built‑in “monitor mix” and an unexpected vocal superpower.The raw reality of being bullied, fighting addiction, and staying sober for seven years, and how the stage becomes his therapy when life tries to drown him in anxiety and depression.Why 12 Stones refuses the “Christian‑rock” label, opting instead to let listeners draw their own meaning from songs that blend heavy riffs with hopeful messages.Insights into his creative process—writing music first, letting songs sit for years, and the delicate balance between studio polish and the electric energy of live performance.A quick‑fire lightning round that reveals his favorite lyric, his love of silence, his preference for the stage over the studio, and the three words that define 12 Stones: real, loud, positive.Whether you're a wrestling fan, a veteran, a music‑maker, or anyone who's ever felt like an underdog, Paul's story is a reminder that even when the world feels cold, there's always a light at the tunnel's end—if we're brave enough to reach for it.Stay tuned; the conversation starts now.

700 ICE Agents Out of Minnesota. Navy Downs Iranian Drone. Brutal Testimonies of ICE Abuses. Huge Layoffs at Washington Post. Measles Outbreak at Texas ICE Jail.   Strap in! Former INDEPENDENT Minnesota Governor, pro wrestler, actor, Navy SEAL and all‑around badass Jesse “The Body” Ventura is finally on the pod—and he's not holding anything back. In this news-making new episode of Independent Americans, Ventura joins host Paul Rieckhoff for an extended, uncensored and exclusive conversation about Trump's ICE crackdown in Minneapolis, the raid on his own Roosevelt High School, January 6th, and why he believes America chose “the criminal over the Constitution.” He shares raw stories about his Vietnam service and his parents' World War II heroism, explaining why that family history gives him license to call Trump's ICE “the Gestapo” and accuse them of trampling core constitutional rights in his hometown.​ Ventura also pulls back the curtain on his personal history with Donald Trump—from Trump flying to Minnesota after Jesse's 1998 upset win, to their surreal New York dinner in NYC with a movie star that will surprise you, to how Trump “stole” Jesse's outsider playbook to capture the GOP instead of building a truly independent movement. He blasts Trump's WWE Hall of Fame spot, calls out fake tough‑guy politics, reacts to a planned UFC event at the White House, and warns about the danger of Trump invoking the Insurrection Act and turning the U.S. military on American citizens. At the same time, he highlights rising resistance in Minneapolis and beyond, as Bruce Springsteen, Tom Morello and artists, young people and veterans of all kinds push back against ICE abuses and democratic backsliding.​ Looking forward, Ventura breaks down exactly how he won the governorship as an independent against the two major parties, the two things he thinks are key for independents to win, and how independent vets can follow his blueprint today through Independent Veterans of America. He talks about recruiting big‑name independents, the explosive growth of independents nationwide, and even floats a wild scenario that could send him to the U.S. Senate to confront Trump world from the inside.  If you're part of the 45% of Americans who are independent—or just independent‑curious—and you miss hearing Jesse Ventura tell stories like only he can, this is your must‑hear episode of Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff. Because every episode of Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff breaks down the most important news stories--and offers light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows.

The importance of optimism.  How to become a Navy SEAL even if you're afraid of horror movies.  How to deal with a teacher who is kind of mean.  Being afraid my loved ones will eventually die.   

What if you could train your body to stay calm under pressure the same way Navy SEALs do? In this conversation with Level 3 Wim Hof Method instructor Brandon Powell, we explore the three-pillar system of breath work, cold exposure, and mindset training that elite athletes and military operators use to control their stress response and perform when it matters most.You'll discover how cold exposure triggers a 500% dopamine boost, why five breaths can shift you from panic to calm, and the science-backed protocols you can start today with nothing more than a cold shower and your breath. This is about building resilience from the inside out—training your nervous system to become your competitive advantage rather than your limitation.

Episode Description:This was one of the most intense conversations James ever recorded.This archive conversation captures David Goggins at the moment Can't Hurt Me was launching — before the mythology around him fully formed. What makes this episode powerful is how grounded it is. He's not selling inspiration. He's explaining the mechanics of suffering, discipline, and self-reinvention in plain terms.Goggins describes growing up with abuse, learning disabilities, fear, and self-hatred — and how those became the raw material for rebuilding himself. He explains his concept of the “40% rule,” the mental governor that convinces people they're done long before they actually are. He also breaks down why failure isn't the end of anything — it's the beginning of knowledge.The conversation moves from ultramarathons and Navy SEAL training into everyday applications: work ethic, education, relationships, accountability, and the quiet habits that build resilience. It's not about extreme athletics. It's about developing a mindset that doesn't collapse when life gets hard.What You'll Learn:Why your brain tells you to quit at 40% — and how to push past that limitHow discomfort, not comfort, is the real training ground for mental strengthWhy failure is data, not defeatHow to build discipline through small daily “mini boot camps”Why accountability starts with brutal honesty about yourselfTimestamped Chapters:[00:00] Haters, criticism, and emotional control[04:00] Introducing David Goggins + the pull-up record shock[08:00] Life as a race: getting to the start line[11:30] Callousing the mind through discomfort[14:00] Living outside the comfort box[16:00] Learning disability and obsessive study discipline[20:00] Public speaking, stuttering, and fear exposure[23:30] Failure as the beginning of growth[27:00] Society's fear of discomfort[30:00] Radical accountability[32:00] Meaning, suffering, and visualization[35:00] The first 100-mile race: confronting death[39:00] Rejection as fuel[41:30] What happens after achievement[44:00] Writing the book and vulnerability[46:00] Discipline audit: where your hours go[48:00] Abuse, forgiveness, and breaking cycles[52:00] Cutting toxic relationships[55:00] The 40% rule explained[58:00] Reflection as survival[01:00:00] Building a personal mental boot camp[01:05:00] Comfort vs. growth: why people stay stuck[01:10:00] Identity, self-image, and reinvention[01:15:00] Discipline as daily practice[01:20:00] Aging, purpose, and long-term mindset[01:25:00] Applying Goggins' philosophy to normal life[01:30:00] Training for life, not races[01:35:00] Legacy and impact[01:40:00] Closing reflections + audiobook discussionAdditional Resources:Can't Hurt Me – David GogginsDavid Goggins Official WebsiteSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Most founders think growth problems are marketing problems.Charles Gaudet doesn't.In this conversation, Charles breaks down why fast growth is often the most dangerous thing a business can chase — and why predictable growth is the real path to scale, peace, and long-term success.We talk about the Founder's Trap, why vanity metrics quietly kill good companies, and how many entrepreneurs accidentally become the bottleneck in the very businesses they built. Charles shares hard-earned lessons from scaling companies through uncertainty, including a pivotal COVID-era pivot, the role of gratitude and perspective in leadership, and why collaboration — not hustle — is the real unlock.This isn't just a tactical conversation.It's a reset on how founders think about growth, control, and what “winning” actually looks like.

Your butt is not about aesthetics. It is a longevity organ that directly impacts metabolism, brain optimization, resilience, and how long you stay strong as you age. In this episode, you'll learn why strength training and protein intake matter more than body fat percentage, how mitochondria drive human performance and recovery, and why building muscle protects your brain, stabilizes mood, and supports long-term longevity. This conversation reframes biohacking, anti-aging, and health from weight loss to muscle span, the length of time you live with strong, functional skeletal muscle. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Gabrielle Lyon, an accomplished physician and New York Times bestselling author of Forever Strong: A New, Science-Based Strategy for Aging Well, and author of the upcoming The Forever Strong Playbook, releasing January 27, 2026. Dr. Lyon pioneered the Muscle-Centric Medicine® approach, which places muscle at the center of disease prevention, metabolic health, and true vitality. She has trained elite athletes, military operatives, and public figures, while also living this philosophy at home as a mother of two with her husband, a retired Navy SEAL. Together, they break down why intermuscular fat may matter more than body fat percentage, how skeletal muscle drives insulin sensitivity and lowers inflammation, and why becoming physically stronger improves brain function and neuroplasticity. They explore protein needs across the lifespan, fasting, ketosis, carnivore-style nutrition, supplements, sleep optimization, and the real tradeoffs of GLP-1 drugs, including the risk of accelerated muscle loss if strength and protein are neglected. The conversation also covers mindset, hormesis, and why physical resilience creates emotional regulation and clearer decision-making in a world increasingly shaped by AI and convenience. This episode is essential listening for anyone serious about biohacking, hacking human performance, longevity, mitochondria, neuroplasticity, nootropics, metabolism, functional medicine, anti-aging strategies, supplements, and living Smarter Not Harder, ideally with a cup of Danger Coffee in hand. You'll Learn: • Why your glutes and skeletal muscle are critical drivers of longevity and brain health • Why intermuscular fat can matter more than body fat percentage for metabolic dysfunction • How strength training improves neuroplasticity, cognition, and emotional resilience • Why protein needs increase with age and why outdated limits can hold you back • What GLP-1 drugs get right, where they fail, and how to protect muscle span • Why progressive stimulus beats lifting heavy for long-term strength and injury prevention • How sleep optimization and recovery support mitochondria and human performance • How building muscle creates clarity, resilience, and better decision-making Dave Asprey is a four time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

Stress is preventing learning, leadership, and healing—and most people don't know why.In this episode of The Mark Divine Show, Dr. Jeannie Iberlin—transformational coach, former school administrator, and author of The Unbelievable Power of Feelings—explains why mindfulness isn't about escaping emotions, but learning how to feel without being overwhelmed.You'll learn:- Why anxiety shuts down learning and decision-making- The difference between “thinking about feelings” vs actually feeling them- How short, consistent mindfulness practices rewire the nervous system- Why meditation doesn't require bliss, silence, or perfection- How teachers, leaders, parents, and children can regulate emotions daily - The overlooked connection between trauma, stress, and emotional suppression- What “waking up” and “waking down” really means for personal growthThis conversation is practical, grounded, and deeply human—offering tools you can use immediately, whether you're leading a classroom, a team, or your own inner work.

Show Notes: Reclaiming Your Energy & Healing Past Hurts In this episode, Heather and Dr. Carol Lynn dive deep into the power of "cleaning out the temple." We explore how carrying emotional baggage from decades ago—even as far back as middle school—drains the energy we need for our lives today. From hilarious stories about homeschooling "mommy voices" to the profound act of giving our hurts to God, this session is a guided journey toward midlife freedom. Whether you're struggling with self-forgiveness or still reeling from a comment made to you in the sixth grade, it's time to join the "We Do Not Care Club" and start healing. In This Episode, We Discuss: The Power of the "Brain Dump": Why writing it down on four lines of paper is better than letting it consume your entire brain at 3:00 AM. The Hormone Connection: How dropping progesterone in midlife can lead to increased rumination and "looping" thoughts. Naming the Weight: Identifying the "unpaid emotional bills" we've been carrying and learning how to finally settle the debt. Box Breathing for Stress: A simple, Navy SEAL-approved technique to reset your nervous system (and why you shouldn't do it if you're pregnant!). The "We Do Not Care Club": Embracing the freedom of your 50s and refusing to let other people's opinions define God's creation. Stewardship of the Soul: How letting go of the past allows us to be fully present for what God has for us in this season. Guided Journaling Steps: Name the Weight: Identify one specific hurt you've been carrying. Expose the Lie: What is that old wound telling you? (e.g., "I'm not enough," "I'm forgotten"). Reclaim the Energy: Consciously decide where that energy is going instead—to your family, your joy, or your future. Circle Your Word: Choose one powerful word (like Joy or Free) to focus on this week.

Rob O'Neill is a retired Navy SEAL with more than 400 combat missions, deployments with SEAL Team Two and SEAL Team Six, and participation in some of the most high-profile special operations of the last two decades. He served multiple tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and has spent years navigating the complicated transition from service to public life. In this conversation, Rob joins me for an unfiltered, long-form discussion about his career, the brotherhood of the teams, and the personal cost that comes with telling parts of his story publicly. We talk at length about Operation Neptune Spear, the mission to kill Osama bin Laden, and Rob's perspective on how the official debrief differs from his lived experience. Rob explains why he believes portions of the record are incomplete, discusses actions taken by members of the assault force after bin Laden was already dead, and why those details matter to him years later. These are Rob's firsthand accounts and interpretations, shared in full context and without editing for sound bites. We also dig into Rob's ongoing $25 million defamation lawsuit, how it came about, and what it's like to defend your name after a lifetime spent operating in silence. This isn't a hit piece or a hero narrative—it's a three-hour conversation about memory, loyalty, accountability, and what happens when the story doesn't match the mission.

“The gym can be a very scary place.”Ever been intimidated by the idea of working out -- and in particular, lifting weights? Then you're in very good company. Fortunately, as fitness expert Mike Bledsoe puts it, "95% of people in the gym are also insecure."Here we delve right into both the insecurity (and how to overcome it), as well as why Bledsoe, who has trained professional athletes, Navy SEALs, and other fitness experts, prefers to work with beginners.We talk about how to naturally boost your T levels (easier than you think!), the specific way our physical bodies store our "stuff" (and how to move it), and how to get started if you're not sure what to do first.We also touch on questions like:Is keto really worth it? (What should you actually pay attention to in nutrition trends?)How do you safely start lifting weights (without injuring yourself), especially if you're over 50?How do you best integrate from deep emotional release work (including psychedelics) in a physical way?What kind of stretches are best?---Work with usReady to go deeper than the podcast and take action?

Jason Gardner is a retired Navy SEAL who now works as a top-level leadership instructor with Echelon Front. Over his thirty-year career in the SEAL teams, he served in combat operations in Somalia, Iraq, and Afghanistan, later becoming Command Master Chief of SEAL Team Five and Training Detachment. Since retiring from the Navy, Jason has worked with hundreds of organizations as a leadership instructor and strategic advisor, helping teams apply high-stakes leadership principles to business and life. He now lives in a remote corner of northeastern Washington with his wife, Iris, and their two children, where he spends his time working on their homestead and staying closely connected to the land. This is Jason's second time on the podcast, and I'd strongly recommend going back and listening to our first conversation from 2021, along with the episode I recorded with Iris. Those earlier interviews dig deeper into Jason's career, his transition out of the military, and the longer arc of their family's journey—context that adds real depth to what we talk about here. This conversation unfolds in two parts. The first half hour or so is a firsthand account of the Hope Fire, a fast-moving wildfire that came dangerously close to destroying Jason and Iris's property and home last summer. Jason walks through the experience in detail—what it's like to prepare for evacuation, to work through exhaustion and uncertainty, and to rely on firefighters, neighbors, and community when the stakes are painfully real. In the second part, we widen the lens. Jason reflects on the lessons that emerged from the fire—about leadership, humility, and responsibility—and connects them to his own personal evolution over the last several years. We talk about PTSD, quitting drinking, the role psychedelic-assisted therapy played in his healing, and how practices like mindfulness, curiosity, kindness, and gratitude have reshaped how he approaches both life and leadership. It's an honest, grounded conversation about resilience, growth, and what it actually means to lead… starting with yourself. As always, be sure to check out the episode notes for a full list of everything we discussed, with timestamps for everything.  There are also links to all of the books and resources that Jason mentions. --- Jason Gardner Jason on Instagram Echelon Front Full episode notes and links: https://mountainandprairie.com/jason-gardner-2/ --- THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS!

Making the Invisible Visible: A SEAL's Mission to Redefine Mental HealthThis week on the Team Never Quit Podcast, Marcus and Melanie sit down with Jonathan Wilson, founder and CEO of INVI MindHealth, a groundbreaking mental-health technology company built on one powerful mission: to save and improve lives by making the invisible visible.Jonathan's journey is anything but ordinary. He began his professional career serving over a decade as a United States Navy SEAL, deploying to multiple combat theaters across several SEAL Teams. After leaving active duty, he carried the mindset of service into the private sector—first as an equity trader at Goldman Sachs in New York City, and later at Capital Group.In 2012, Jonathan co-founded and led the SEAL Future Foundation (SFF), a 501(c)(3) dedicated to supporting Navy SEALs in their transition beyond service. Under his leadership, SFF has helped thousands of SEALs and returned millions of dollars to the community—providing support in education, career development, and long-term well-being so operators can continue a life of service.Now, through INVI MindHealth, Jonathan is tackling one of the most critical challenges facing both the military and civilian worlds: mental health. INVI's technology leverages objective data to provide early insight, awareness, and intervention—bridging the gap between how someone looks on the outside and what's happening on the inside.Jonathan also brings elite academic credentials to the table, holding an MBA from the University of Oxford and graduating from the Program for Leadership Development at Harvard Business School.This is a conversation about purpose, prevention, and pushing the mission forward—no matter the battlefield.In this episode you will hear:• I inevitably landed on a book that I found from Vietnam: The Frogman Book and I thought: “What is this?” I read that and I was like: “This is it. This is what I wanna be.” (24:39)• Looking back now, I think the Lord is probably teaching me a lesson. I got caught with a fake ID card. You're done. From that point I hit one of lowest points. (27:22)• [I went to SEAL] Team 4. We ended up going to Bagdad. I did back-to back. It's what team guys want. We were doing DA's, hostage rescues; we were operating damn near every night. (45:16)• After being married and with 5 kids, and we had lost a lot of friends – maybe it's time to get out and I agreed. (48:04)• In my head I was thinking, what's the next hardest thing? That's how my brain thinks. (48:40)• I didn't think I'd fit outside. I partially still feel that way. (50:32)• SEALS wasn't my purpose. I think being a father and a Christian is. But I think the Lord put me on this planet to really see this business we're creating of helping as many people as possible with their mental suicide. Empowering them to be the best version of themselves they can be. (55:13)• We created INVI Mind Health. (IInvisibleVisible)  (57:12)• We created an algorhythm that pulls all the biometrics from any wearable you've got, and we help you get your mind score. (63:22)• [Marcus] When team start to spiral, they'll pull away. They don't want to detonate in front of their buddies. (66:34)• Our mission is to save lives by making the invisible visible. (72:29)

What If the Worst Day of Your Life Is Actually Training You to Live Greatly? In this episode, I sit down with Jason Redman, and this is one of those conversations that stays with you long after it ends. Jason is a retired Navy SEAL who was shot eight times in combat, nearly lost his life, and then rebuilt everything from the ground up. But this episode is not about war stories. It is about how you respond when life ambushes you, how you refuse to quit when fear tries to take over, and how you decide who you are going to become after everything falls apart. Jason shares the truth that surprised me most. The day he was wounded was not the worst day of his life. His darkest moment came earlier, when arrogance, isolation, and shame nearly cost him his career and his life. He opens up about hitting rock bottom, sitting alone with a gun in his mouth, and the moment he realized that choosing to live meant choosing to take responsibility again. We talk about how victim mindset destroys leaders and why true strength always starts with humility. We also break down Jason's Overcome Mindset, a framework built on awareness, preparation, and action. He explains why bad days are not the enemy, but the training ground for greatness. If you have been knocked down by loss, failure, or fear, this part of the conversation will give you practical tools to get back on your feet without pretending everything is fine. One of the most powerful moments of the episode is the story behind the sign Jason taped to his hospital door after being shot. It was his declaration that no one was allowed to feel sorry for him, including himself. That mindset became the foundation of his recovery and his mission to live greatly, even when life hurts. We also dive into marriage, faith, and what it really takes to build an unbreakable relationship when trauma enters the picture. If you are standing on the edge of something big but fear is holding you back, this conversation is your push. Jason reminds us that action is what unlocks greatness, and that regret is far heavier than failure. Key Takeaways: Why there are no bad days if you are still alive How to develop the Overcome Mindset when life blindsides you Why shrinking your time frame can save you in dark seasons How to stop living in fear after trauma and loss What it truly means to live greatly and honor the people you love This episode is a reminder that you are not broken, you are being built. Get ready to rethink everything you believe about pain, purpose, and resilience. Max out your life.
