    Every person in your life is telling you the truth about themselves right now, just not with their mouth. That is the filter I open this weekend mashup with, and it is why I brought together some of the sharpest minds I know on reading people, building real confidence and telling the difference between someone who loves you and someone who is just good at saying it. Dr. Marisa Franco is breaking down the actual research on why some friendships take root and others fade. Brendon Burchard and I get into the two small promises I started keeping to myself and how the habit of keeping tiny commitments directly relates to whether you can trust a person or not. Then you hear the raw truth from a man who finished Navy SEAL training, Army Ranger School and Air Force tech school in one lifetime, David Goggins, describing the 19 hours that broke him down and rebuilt him at the same time. What he says about the people from his old life who still want to pull him back will stick with you. Here's what you'll walk away with: Filter test: the exact shift in how you watch people that tells you instantly who is real. Friendship science: why the group you show up to again and again matters more than how the first meeting felt. Confidence rebuild: the two tiny promises that pulled me out of my lowest point. The cookie jar: how to reach for proof of your own toughness when your body wants to quit. The lens flip: one question that will change how every person in your life experiences you. I have spent the past few years listening less and watching more, and every relationship in my life is better for it. Watch the people around you this week instead of just listening to them, and you will already understand more about your life than you did yesterday.

Gus argues that when you back someone into a corner over their identity, there's nowhere left for the conversation to go. That's why wars of religion cut so deep.Faith and religion aren't the same fight. Drawing on a mentor's line, "we never go to war over faith, we always go to war over religion," Gus distinguishes belief itself from the practice and politics built around it.Moral injury outlasts the battlefield. Gus and Corey discuss what happens when service members carry out orders that conflict with their conscience, and why caring for that wound is a command responsibility.Art forces you to see differently. Gus talks about painting as a discipline that trained his eye long before it trained his hand, and how that same habit of seeing applies to leadership and writing.About Our Guest:Captain Robert "Gus" Gusentine served nearly 30 years in the Navy, including as an exchange officer with Germany's Kamphschwimmer Company, commander of SEAL Team 10, operations chief (J3) for Special Operations Command Pacific, and commander of Joint Special Operations Task Force Philippines.

Murray Simon, her grandfather, for the first time. In the episode, Murray was reunited with a man named Peter Ortiz, who had rescued him after his plane crashed over Nazi-occupied France in 1944. Ortiz became one of the most decorated Marine officers of World War II, undertaking missions now handled by units like the Navy SEALs and Green Berets.

    Andy Stumpf's BUD/S class started with 180 students. 18 graduated. As a BUD/S instructor years later, he got to do something most SEALs never do: sit down with the hundreds who quit and ask them why. The answer was almost always the same.   Joe De Sena talks with Andy, a retired SEAL Team Six operator who was shot during a 2005 deployment, spent eighteen months rehabbing neuropathic nerve damage, and went on to fly charter jets, jump professionally, open a Black Rifle Coffee outpost in Montana, and write the book Drown Proof.   This episode breaks down why the students who quit SEAL training all collapsed the same way, what the difference is between telling someone a run is four miles and telling them to run until you say stop, and why momentum matters more than knowing exactly where you are headed.   Things You Will Learn: The single pattern that appeared in nearly every SEAL training dropout, and why it applies to any goal you have set and abandoned. Why starting to move matters more than knowing exactly where you are going. What changes when you shift from macro goals to micro execution under pressure. Tools & Frameworks Covered: Momentum Over Azimuth: Start moving before you have a perfect plan. Paralysis comes from needing the destination to be clear before taking the first step. Movement creates clarity. Stillness creates doubt. Macro Goal, Micro Living: Set the big target, then forget it. Shrink your world to the next step, the next hill, the next rep. The students who quit SEAL training all failed the same way: their view of time expanded until the distance between where they stood and the finish overwhelmed them. Ask for Help as Strength: The toughest people Stumpf has known all share one trait: when they hit the limit of their knowledge, they find an expert. When they are struggling, they ask. Nobody can read your mind. Until you ask, the people who care about you cannot help you.   'Heads up!

At eleven, his father mentioned the Navy SEALs once, and the idea absorbed every decision that followed. He enlisted at seventeen, barely graduated high school, and never looked back.   Andy served ten deployments as a SEAL Team Six operator. In 2005, he was shot during a mission, suffered neuropathic nerve damage, and spent eighteen months rehabbing as a BUD/S instructor, where he studied why the vast majority of candidates quit on their lifelong goals.   Andy got commissioned as an officer without a college degree, finished his career on a West Coast team, and went on to fly charter jets, jump professionally, teach skydiving, launch a nine-year podcast, and open a Black Rifle Coffee outpost in Kalispell, Montana. His book, Drown Proof, was published in April 2025.   Connect to Andy: Website: https://thestringbean.co/about/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thestring.bean/?hl=en YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/ClearedHotPodcast X: https://x.com/AndyStumpf77

The Navy commandeered the facility to investigate a sunken submarine, but, to Zo, the Navy SEAL officer sent to oversee operations don't appear wrapped to tight.

    Some marriages get tested by distance. This one got tested by war, by silence, and by a version of a man that combat left behind. In this episode, I sit down with Marcus Capone, a retired Navy SEAL of 13 years, and his wife Amber Capone, co-founder and CEO of VETS (Veterans Exploring Treatment Solutions). We walk through the true cost of elite military service and their recovery, individually and as a couple. Marcus speaks candidly about compartmentalization, a survival skill that protects a SEAL in combat but erodes his home life, his drinking habits, treatments that failed him, and a period when suicide felt logical. Amber talks about her resentment and the personal work that freed her from waiting to be rescued. It's a story of refusing to stay stuck, and of a treatment that changed everything afterward.What we explore:- How deployment trains you to compartmentalize, and why that skill quietly erodes a marriage.- Why conventional PTSD treatments failed Marcus, and the undiagnosed traumatic brain injury behind it.- What ibogaine treatment actually involves and what shifts after.- How Amber healed through therapy, faith, and surrender rather than waiting on Marcus.- Why heavy drinking and pharmaceuticals became coping tools, and what finally broke the cycle.- Why roughly 17 veterans die by suicide daily, and what VETS is building to change it.Chapters:00:00 A Navy SEAL Couple's Journey to Healing02:17 Choosing the SEAL Path After 9/1106:17 Raising Kids Alone as a SEAL Wife11:41 The BUD/S Mindset That Changes You16:21 What Constant Deployments Do to a Family18:09 How SEAL Wives Compartmentalize Marriage21:26 Life After the Teams and Losing Purpose29:35 Why He Left the SEALs for Banking35:24 The Therapy Breakthrough That Saved Amber43:34 How Suicidal Thoughts Start With Numbing45:57 Why Ibogaine Worked After Everything Failed52:56 What Happens During an Ibogaine Trip01:01:00 How Amber Saw Her Husband Change01:05:08 Fighting FDA Barriers to Fund Veteran Healing01:08:31 How to Support Veterans With PTSDAbout Marcus and Amber Capone: Marcus Capone served 13 years as a U.S. Navy SEAL before facing a harder battle at home: depression, TBI, PTSD, and treatments that never held.

In this episode of the Ready State Podcast, Kelly and Juliet Starrett sit down with the retired SEAL Team Six operator, pilot, skydiver, and author of Drownproof to explore the mindset that helps people stay steady when life feels anything but that.From a chaotic military skydive gone spectacularly wrong to the emotional toll of divorce, Andy shares why the ability to "chunk" overwhelming challenges into the next manageable step has become one of the most valuable skills he's ever developed. Along the way, the conversation dives into self-talk, asking for help, ownership, leadership, flow state, and why resilience isn't about being fearless – but about learning to focus on what you can control when everything else feels out of control.Whether you're navigating a personal setback, leading a team, raising kids, or simply trying to build a more resilient mindset, this episode offers practical lessons for staying grounded, making better decisions, and keeping your head above water when the inevitable storms of life arrive.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy resilience is less about toughness and more about controlling what you can controlHow breaking overwhelming challenges into small, manageable steps can help you navigate almost any crisisThe surprising role that self-talk plays in performance, confidence, and decision-making under pressureWhy asking for help is one of the strongest leadership skills, not a sign of weaknessHow finding a healthy "flow state" can improve focus, reduce stress, and build long-term resilience through work, sport, or everyday lifeKey Highlights: (00:00) Intro & Andy's Background(05:15) Origin of "Becoming a Supple Leopard"(11:00) Backstory of "Drownproof" Title(17:49) Where We Learn Resilience & Life Skills(20:22) Breaking Tasks Into Small Chunks(23:12) Andy's Wild HAHO Jump Story(30:43) Everything Goes Wrong Mid-Air(37:52) Getting to Safety & Lesson From the Jump(43:04) How Divorce Was Harder Than SEAL Training(47:38) The Power of Self-Talk(49:11) Asking for Help as a Sign of Strength(54:32) After-Action Reviews, Accountability, & Leadership(54:34) Why 85% Quit BUD/S(58:14) The Chunking vs. Overwhelm Theory(1:00:00) Hell Week & the Psychology of Time(1:09:57) "It Takes Longer to Do It Wrong"(1:17:32) Writing Drownproof(1:20:38) BASE Jumping, Wingsuits, & Risk(1:23:44) Flow State, Not Adrenaline(1:31:23) The Sphere of Influence Exercise(1:33:32) Redirecting Negative Self-Talk(1:34:47) The Infinite Shelf: Money & MeaningHuge thanks to our sponsors, LMNT and Momentous.

    In this episode of the Thrive State Podcast, Dr. V sits down with Jill Schulman, former United States Marine Corps officer, positive psychology researcher trained at the University of Pennsylvania under Martin Seligman, and globally recognized keynote speaker on the science of bravery. Jill shares her remarkable journey from a small town in Minnesota to the Marine Corps, how she discovered bravery as her life's work, and the evidence-based framework she now teaches leaders and organizations around the world. This conversation dives deep into the psychology of fear, why avoidance destroys potential, how action actually creates confidence (not the other way around), and why the next generation needs more discomfort, not less.   In this episode, we cover: The Five to Thrive rapid-fire game show segment Jill's origin story: from small-town Minnesota to the United States Marine Corps How studying positive psychology at Penn led to her focus on bravery The Marine Corps lesson: act when you have 70% of the information, not 100% Why bravery is a trainable skill just like building strength in the gym Discerning between fears you should listen to and fears you should move toward The hidden cost of experiential avoidance (and its link to anxiety and depression) The Navy SEAL confidence course story and why action precedes confidence Discipline vs. motivation and why you should never "press snooze" Marcus Buckingham's "red threads" and how to follow what lights you up How fear shows up in business: difficult conversations and safe goal-setting Why young people need to feel fear more, not less (the biosphere palm tree analogy) What leaders must do: set high expectations and support people to rise Jill is offering a free audiobook to listeners.

    He moved to Hollywood with $43 and a dream. Watched his dad pour brilliant ideas into businesses that made other people rich. Decided the only thing scarier than risking everything was never finding out what he was capable of. Twenty-five years and 51 countries later, Caleb Gilbert protects the world's most elite. And everything he's learned doing it maps directly into how you're building your business right now. Caleb Gilbert is the founder of White Glove Protection Group and a global expert in executive protection. In this conversation, he and George translate the frameworks used to protect A-list celebrities and Fortune 200 companies into a masterclass on entrepreneurship, covering risk, trust, vision, proactive vs. reactive posture, and what it really means to be all in. What You'll Learn In This Episode: How executive protection frameworks apply directly to building a business Why your relevance is entirely based on the perceived value of your consumer The difference between being energetically all in vs. financially all in Why Caleb turned down $1.5M in business to protect his vision and how it led to 4,000% growth How to build a proactive business posture instead of a reactive one The one question that revealed imposter syndrome was costing him clients Why grit, not tactics, is the most transferable skill from protection to entrepreneurship Key Takeaways: ✔️Your relevance is based on the perceived value of your consumer, not what you think they need. Flip the script. ✔️Being energetically all in and being financially all in are not the same thing. The people around you will tell you when you're truly all in, they'll tell you you're overdoing it. ✔️Zero revenue for two years. Turned down $1.5M. Then 4,000% growth. Knowing your vision and protecting it is a competitive strategy. ✔️Proactive posture beats reactive posture every time, in protection and in business. Stop waiting for the threat. Get ahead of it. ✔️The biggest threat your business faces is distraction. Not competition. Not market conditions. Distraction. ✔️Nobody else has your brain, your context, your background. The moment Caleb stopped trying to be a Navy SEAL and started leading with his actual edge, everything changed. ✔️Don't let money be your north star. If vision, strategy, and execution align with what the market needs, the money follows. ✔️Reinvest like you're still building. A $1.50 lawn mower became a business, because every dollar went back in. Timestamps & Highlights: [00:00] — $43, a dream, and the mindset that made it work [01:26] — Welcome: 25 years, 51 countries, and the White Glove difference [03:16] — Montana grit: why hard things inspire instead of dissuade [06:28] — Environment that demands vs. inspires and what that means for your team [07:33] — Starting at age 11: Nike socks, lawn mowers, and learning risk vs. reward early [11:03] — How to mitigate risk without impeding what makes your business great [13:07] — "Your relevance is based on the perceived value of your consumer" [18:00] — The onboarding parallel: walking clients through what they've never experienced [21:00] — Client number one, staying in vision, and zero revenue for two years [24:17] — Energetically all in vs. financially all in, how to tell the difference [28:34] — The 2020 gut check: when a CEO told Caleb not to chase money [35:00] — Ego in the protection industry and how Caleb navigated it [43:00] — Imposter syndrome, 86% prior military, and the moment he found his edge [50:00] — Proactive vs. reactive posture in business and protection [55:00] — Reinvesting like you're still building: the $1.50 lawn mower origin story [59:43] — Caleb's closing wisdom: be proactive, know your strengths, hit refresh Connect with Caleb Gilbert:  Founder and President of White Glove Protection Group, with 25 years of executive protection experience across 51 countries.

    Long Range Tactics 107 – The $5,000 Rangefinder Test

    Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)

    Play Episode Listen Later Aug 11, 2026


    On This EpisodeA $5,000 weapon-mounted rangefinder sounds ridiculous until a bad range costs you the shot. Matt returns from a National Guard sniper train-up at Camp Robinson and a match in Montana with side-by-side time behind the Maztech X4-LRF 15K and X4-LRF 2K Generation II. The question is not whether the expensive unit is impressive. It is what the extra money buys, who can use it, and where a lower-cost unit still gets the job done. They break down the practical difference between a 905 nm commercial laser and the 1534 nm system in the 15K, including target size, return speed, fog, smoke, dust, onboard Applied Ballistics, atmospherics, field zeroing, and a wired trigger beside the rifle's trigger. Matt shares what it took to range small steel around 800 to 850 yards and full-size silhouettes past 1,500, plus the simple mistake that can send the laser miles behind the target if the turret is not returned to zero. The conversation goes beyond one piece of gear. Cole and Matt get into the new MDT DRT chassis, a pre-production Leupold spotting scope, BX-6 Range HD binoculars, why guides should take glass seriously, and the budget workaround of pre-ranging a stand before a coyote or animal appears. The goal is not buying the most expensive setup. It is knowing the capability wall of what you already own and deciding whether the problem is worth paying to remove. Then the episode turns to wildfire responsibility, public-land cleanup, hunting rifles, recoil, cartridge availability, youth setups, and why a magnum is usually the wrong answer for a 300 to 400 yard deer. They cover 6.5 PRC, .22 Creedmoor, 6.5 Grendel, straight-wall cartridges, an experimental 10mm lever gun, upcoming hunts, Straight Jacket Armory's move, beginner rifle questions, industry misinformation, and the uncertainty around suppressor regulation. Detailed Episode Breakdown: Life and the return to the podcast: Cole and Matt catch up after a rough stretch of fires, travel, moves, work, and a long break between episodes. Camp Robinson and Montana: Matt recaps a week-long National Guard sniper train-up in Arkansas, followed by a sniper-focused match at the Thorson Ranch near White Sulphur Springs, Montana. Wildfire damage: Cole describes losing a cabin and seeing his ranch burn, then explains how loose soil, ash, monsoon rain, and missing vegetation turn the next storm into years of sludge and flooding. Shooter responsibility: They separate responsible target shooting from preventable fire risks such as old steel-jacketed surplus ammunition, tracers, exploding targets, tannerite, and shooting trash during dry conditions. Public-land stewardship: The conversation returns to the basic rule that shooters should know what they are firing, choose safe conditions, clean up the range, and stop giving land managers a reason to close access. The field setup: Matt ran a 6.5 Creedmoor built around a Lone Peak action in the magnesium MDT DRT chassis, with an Area 419 mount, MDT CKYE-POD, and a weapon-mounted Maztech rangefinder. Maztech 15K versus 2K: The 15K delivered faster, tighter returns on small and distant targets, while the 2K remained a practical option for larger targets, terrain features, and shooters who do not need the same adverse-condition performance. Ranging workflow: They discuss zeroing the laser, validating the return, integrating a ballistic profile, keeping the rifle turret at zero while ranging, and getting a range and hold without leaving the firing position. Who needs the expensive tool: A professional user, timed competitor, predator hunter, or hunter carrying a rare tag may be paying for speed and certainty. A recreational shooter can often pre-range terrain and keep a simple dope reference instead. Glass is part of the job: They explain why low-light clarity and a dependable range matter to guides and hunters, especially when the best animal appears at first light and there is no time to fight poor optics. Hunting cartridges and recoil: The episode pushes back on ultra-light magnums for moderate-distance deer hunting. They discuss 6.5 PRC, 6.5 Grendel, .277 Fury, .22 Creedmoor, and choosing a cartridge the shooter can control. Availability matters: A hunt is a bad place to discover that a specialty cartridge, brass, or ammunition cannot be replaced locally. Build around the mission, but account for what happens when something is forgotten or damaged. Youth rifle setup: Cole and Matt argue for manageable recoil, correct fit, and enjoyable early experiences instead of handing a young shooter a hard-kicking rifle and hoping they learn through punishment. 10mm lever-gun experiment: Matt shares his testing with a suppressed 10mm Marlin lever gun, the difference between pistol and carbine behavior, pressure signs, and why he will not publish experimental load data. What is next: Straight Jacket Armory is moving into a larger building with studio space. Future LRT topics include first-rifle decisions, beginner scope questions, youth hunting setups, technology versus primitive-weapon rules, industry changes, and suppressor policy. Practical Decision Rules •     Do not buy the most expensive rangefinder because the number looks impressive. Buy it when faster, more certain ranging changes the result of your match, hunt, or professional job.•     If a high-end system is outside the budget, pre-range terrain, write down the distances, and know the hold before the animal or target appears.•     Treat glass and ranging as one system. A clean image does not help if the range is wrong, and a strong laser does not help if you cannot identify the target at first light.•     Match the cartridge to the animal, distance, recoil tolerance, and ammunition supply. More energy is not automatically a better choice if the shooter cannot control the rifle.•     Set younger shooters up with correct fit and manageable recoil. Confidence and repeatable hits matter more than handing them the biggest cartridge available.•     During fire season, verify the ammunition and target, avoid ignition risks, pick the conditions, and clean up the site. Access disappears when shooters act like the mess belongs to somebody else. Gear and Technology Discussed Maztech X4-LRF 15K and X4-LRF 2K Generation II: https://www.maztechindustries.com/product-page/x4-lrf Weapon-mounted ranging with an integrated ballistic solver and onboard environmental sensors. The episode compares the two laser systems in field use.

    A Navy SEAL trainee who says he was wrongfully convicted of murder and abduction to defile for a crime the actual killer later confessed to committing alone, served 31 years of an 82-year sentence before walking out of prison. This is his first interview. SHOW DESCRIPTION: In 1995, 20-year-old Navy SEAL trainee Dusty Turner watched his swim buddy Billy Brown strangle a 21-year-old pre-med student named Jennifer Evans in a Virginia Beach parking lot. Dusty says he tried to stop him, but he failed. Bound by the SEAL code to protect his teammate, he helped hide the body. Eight days later, consumed by guilt, he says he confessed to his commanding officer, led police to the scene, and cooperated fully with investigators. Then he says the system took 31 years of his life. Brown flipped and blamed Dusty for the murder. Both were convicted in separate trials. Brown got 72 years. Dusty got 82, more time than the man who actually killed her. In 2002, Brown confessed on tape that he acted alone. A Virginia judge declared Dusty actually innocent. The appellate court overturned it on a legal theory never presented at his original trial. Under Virginia law, the only crime Dusty admits to ... helping hide a body ... carried a maximum sentence of one year. He served thirty-one. On March 5, 2026, Dusty walked out of prison. He is 51 years old. His murder conviction still stands. He is not exonerated. Now, for the first time, Dusty sits down with Dr. Phil, alongside his mother Linda, who never stopped fighting ... to tell his story, confront the system that he says failed him, and face the most difficult question of all: how do you rebuild a life when the majority of it was taken from you for something you say you didn't do?This episode is made possible with the support of our sponsors.

    In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, my guest is Jocko Willink, a retired U.S. Navy SEAL officer, author and host of the Jocko Podcast. We discuss why discipline, rather than motivation, is the reliable driver of daily action, and how taking action is the most effective way to move through adversity, loss and setbacks. We also discuss how exercise generates energy, the leader's role as a counterweight to team morale, and detachment as a trainable skill for widening perspective and making better decisions under stress.
