More Than the Uniform: Greg Froelick's Pursuit of Purpose This week on the Team Never Quit Podcast, Marcus and Melanie sit down with former Navy SEAL and private aviation businessman*, Greg Froelick—a man who has dedicated his life to excellence, discipline, and service both on and off the battlefield. Greg's journey began after college, when he chose to serve his country and earned his place among the elite ranks of the U.S. Navy SEAL Teams. His time in special operations sharpened his perspective on resilience, teamwork, and intentional living—lessons he now carries into every corner of his life. After leaving the military, Greg transitioned into the medical sales industry, where he quickly proved himself in a competitive arena. His combination of grit, professionalism, and mission-focused thinking eventually opened the door to his next chapter with EMCJET, a premier group in the private aviation space. Today, he plays a key role on the EMCJET team, helping deliver world-class service with a warrior's level of precision and accountability. Greg recounts his experience aiding in the recovery efforts following the July 4th Camp Mystic flood disaster. He and Marcus reflect on their immediate decision to head to the affected area, coordinating the logistics required to make a meaningful impact—joining forces with several fellow Navy SEALs to provide help where it was needed most. Greg's story is a reminder that your mission doesn't end when one chapter closes. Whether in uniform or in business, he continues to serve — helping others live with intention. In this episode you will hear: • We shouldn't be on no defense - Department of Defense. This is the Department of War. We don't go on defense. You step up, and we'll come in and crush the shit out of you. (19:02) • Got into private aviation. It's like a real estate agent for private jets. (22:46) • [The gate at Camp Mystic] was twisted. You can't talk about it and do it justice – the way it was twisted steel. (34:46) • We're not by any means a search and rescue outfit, but we knew that we could help. (36:31) • We're this close to being signed up to be a care coalition. It's a safe place to land. (36:51) • You're at that point where “I hope I don't find anything” [and at the same time] “I hope I find it.” (41:01) • When the cadaver dogs showed up and the backhoe maintainers showed up – Game Changers. (41:16) • The one's that'll never get any attention or no one will ever know who they are the drivers of the maintainers. (41:51) • How many times did we walk on somebody before we even found ‘em, because they were buried under the dirt from the Cypress trees. (43:30) • This is why it was key to have the cadaver dogs because of everything else that was dead around it: horses, pigs, deer, dogs. (44:02) • Everything aside from the situation – A lot of good came from all that. (46:55) • The more people sometimes – the harder it becomes. Everybody just wants to help. We were fortunate to get in the way we got in. (48:27) • No one was there yet. It was just us.

Edward Byers became fascinated with the military - and Navy SEALs in particular - through books and movies in his younger years. He joined the U.S. Navy and, just a few months after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, began SEAL training. His service would then bring him face to face with our enemies on multiple deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan.In this edition of Veterans Chronicles, Byers takes us through the mentally and physically grueling experience of BUD/s training to become a SEAL and his deployments to Iraq. And Byers walks us through the harrowing and costly mission to rescue an American doctor that resulted in Byers receiving the military's highest honor.

In this episode of The Super Human Life, Coach Frank Rich sits down with Dan Brulé, one of the world's leading breathwork pioneers and author of Just Breathe, to uncover the true power hidden in something we all do every day: breathing. With over five decades of experience teaching conscious breathwork to Navy SEALs, elite performers, and spiritual seekers alike, Dan shares how mastering the breath can transform your body, emotions, and connection to God. Together, Frank and Dan explore how something as simple as breathing with awareness can reduce anxiety, heal trauma, improve focus, and unlock the presence of the Holy Spirit in your daily life. If you've ever struggled with stress, burnout, or emotional reactivity, or if you're simply looking for a deeper way to live, the wisdom in this conversation will show you how to pause, breathe, and step into a more powerful state of being. Key Takeaways Breathwork is simpler and more accessible than most people think. Conscious awareness of the breath deepens emotional regulation and clarity. Every breath is an opportunity to reconnect body, mind, and spirit. Integrating breathwork with fitness, prayer, or meditation multiplies results. Daily breath rituals improve sleep, recovery, and resilience under pressure. High performers use breath control to stay calm, focused, and intentional. Awareness of breath opens deeper heart connection and body intelligence. The science of breathing reveals how it impacts energy, hormones, and sleep. Living a "superhuman life" means using your breath to fuel passion, growth, and impact. Featured Guest Dan Brulé is a world-renowned expert in the art and science of breathwork. A former U.S. Navy diver and author of the international bestseller Just Breathe, Dan has trained more than 250,000 people in over 60 countries, including elite military units, Olympic athletes, and top executives. His mission is to help people use conscious breathing as a tool for healing, performance, and spiritual awakening.

In this Fitness Friday episode on the Habits and Hustle podcast, Michael Breus, the Sleep Doctor, says it's not your fault. We unpack the science of why everyone wakes up between 1-3 AM, the shocking Alzheimer's connection to Benadryl, and why CBN (not CBD) is the cannabis compound that actually helps sleep. Plus: the truth about melatonin, why magnesium beats most sleep aids, and the supplement deficiencies sabotaging your rest.

Known as "The Sleep Doctor," he's the author of five books including Sleep, Drink, Breathe and has treated celebrities from Carson Daly to Paris Hilton to DJ Steve Aoki.

In this deeply personal piece, Jon shares something raw and different ... a song born straight from his journaling practice.After years of living by duty, discipline, and performance, Jon found himself realizing he'd lost touch with the part of him that once felt fully alive.That reflection became a song called “Called Home to Yourself.”Through honest storytelling and emotional depth, Jon opens up about what it means to wake up after years on autopilot... to remember the child you once were, the fire you once carried, and the freedom of feeling seen again.This song isn't about perfection (nor is it perfect)... it's about presence.It's about rediscovering who you are beneath the roles, the ranks, and the noise of everyday life.If you've ever felt that quiet ache... that pull toward something real... this episode is for you.Because sometimes, the bravest thing we can do is stop running, listen, and come home.Listen to “Called Home to Yourself” — written and performed by... well, AI!!Hosted by Jon Macaskill | Men Talking MindfulnessHosted by Ausha.

I sat down with Andrew Herr to unpack what flying really does to your body and how to fix it with simple, science-based steps. Andrew has coached fighter pilots, Navy SEALs, and busy executives, and he built a travel system that treats jet lag like a solvable problem, not a life sentence.We break down why pressure changes and lower oxygen in the cabin drive inflammation, why that brain fog and puffy feeling show up even on short hops, and how circadian rhythm, light, and meal timing fit into the picture. We get into domestic versus international travel, when you only need a “mini” protocol, and when you need the full reset. You will hear exactly how to set up sleep the first night, when to use light or block it, how to time magnesium, omega-3s, and melatonin, why small protein-first meals beat grazing on junk, and why fasting can help some people but not everyone.You will also learn how to read your own signals, why some frequent fliers think they are fine when they are not, and how to test whether something actually helps you. If you want to land clear-headed, sleep that first night, and feel like yourself again, this episode gives you a plan you can run on your very next trip.Key topicsWhy flights trigger inflammation, even on short routesCircadian rhythm basics, light timing, and sleep setupDomestic vs international playbook, what changes and whyProtein-first eating on travel days, hydration, and walking after mealsWhen fasting helps and when it backfiresBlue light blocking, battery-powered alarm clocks, and a bedroom setup after you landHow to test if a tool or supplement is working for youWhere Andrew's timing protocol came from and how the app personalizes it without guessworkTimeline Mitopure Gummies: GET 20% Off Now!

Send us a textTony Crescenzo, Marine Corps veteran and CEO of Intelligent Waves and Peak NeuroWhat if healing trauma didn't require endless therapy sessions or medication? Tony Crescenzo, Marine Corps veteran and CEO of Intelligent Waves and Peak Neuro, reveals a groundbreaking approach that's changing lives.After eight years in the Marines and time working undercover for Naval Investigative Service, Crescenzo battled PTSD for decades. "I was one of those veterans who goes from zero to FU in about 10 seconds," he admits with candid honesty. His journey from combat to corporate America ultimately led him to discover neuroacoustic brainwave entrainment—a technology that would transform not only his life but the lives of countless veterans, first responders, and elite athletes.The science is fascinating yet approachable. Unlike traditional psychotherapy that requires verbally processing trauma, this technology uses specific sound frequencies to entrain the brain into beneficial states. The prefrontal cortex quiets down, rumination stops, and the body processes trauma somatically rather than narratively. "You may observe the event that caused your trauma like watching a movie, but the emotion dissolves. Your body essentially digests it," Crescenzo explains.The results speak volumes. A Navy SEAL with 21 traumatic brain injuries went from three hours of fragmented sleep to six uninterrupted hours in just 30 days. Headaches disappeared, brain fog lifted, and EEG measurements showed actual neurological restructuring. Perhaps most remarkably, users don't become dependent on the technology—the brain undergoes permanent trait-level changes, eliminating the need for ongoing medication or therapy.Ready to experience this transformation yourself? The Peak Neuro app offers free trials with exercises for sleep, stress reduction, and cognitive enhancement. As Crescenzo powerfully reminds us: "If you're struggling, don't struggle alone. Whatever happened is over and your body's here, but your mind is there. Bring your mind with you and we can help you do that."

Operation Red Wings II is a bone-chilling moment in the history of the United States' involvement in the Middle East. After a tragic turn of events, the US Navy Seals found themselves in a dangerous search and rescue mission for one of their own. In the end, 16 Navy Seals paid the ultimate sacrifice to return the lone survivor home. Today, Pastor Dan teaches that Christianity demands sacrifices for the sake of unity. It may not cost you your life, but it could cost you your time, money, or satisfaction.

When opportunity doesn't knock, some women build their own door — and that's exactly what Lauren Wittenberg Weiner did. As a military spouse stationed overseas, Lauren refused to accept the limits placed on her career. Lauren is the author of Unruly, where she reminds women that following the rules doesn't mean following everyone else. She's living proof that grit, purpose, and innovation can turn barriers into breakthroughs. She calls herself an “accidental entrepreneur.” Unable to find work, she forged her own path in the male-dominated world of government contracting — and ended up building an empire that empowers military spouses. Lauren founded WWC Global, now one of the largest woman-owned contracting firms in Tampa Bay. Her company made history by landing a $200 million U.S. Special Operations Command award, supporting elite units like the Navy SEALs and Green Berets. Over two decades, she scaled WWC Global to nearly $100 million in annual revenue before selling it in 2022 — all while employing more than 250 military spouses around the world. She also founded In Gear Career, a nonprofit that merged with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation's Hiring Our Heroes program, helping thousands of military spouses sustain meaningful employment through every PCS move.

Newt talks with Marcus and Amber Capone, co-founders of Veterans Exploring Treatment Solutions (VETS), about the transformative impact of ibogaine treatment on veterans suffering from mental health issues, including TBI, depression and PTSD. Marcus, a former Navy SEAL, shares his personal journey of overcoming challenges related to traumatic brain injury and mental health struggles through ibogaine therapy, which he initially resisted due to misconceptions about psychedelics. Amber, instrumental in finding this treatment, highlights the profound changes it brought to Marcus and their family, leading them to establish VETS in 2019. Their organization has since supported over a thousand veterans and their families in accessing ibogaine treatment, despite regulatory challenges in the United States. The Capone’s emphasize the need for research and policy change to make such treatments available domestically, citing successful legislative efforts in Texas and ongoing studies at institutions like Stanford and Ohio State. They also discuss their upcoming Netflix documentary, which aims to raise awareness about ibogaine's potential.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The Discipline of Focus: How to Start Winning Again In this mashup episode, I've brought together four powerhouse voices including myself, Codie Sanchez, Damar Hamlin, and James Lawrence, to uncover what it really takes to build an unshakable focus and eliminate the distractions that steal our greatness. I'm breaking down the hard truths about the secret things in your life that are stealing your attention and ultimately your bliss. I'm also giving you the truth about sacrifice and the true cost of winning at anything in life. Codie Sanchez shares a mindset shift that hit me hard: stop setting goals, start setting sacrifices. She reveals how true success begins when you decide in advance what price you're willing to pay and refuse to negotiate with yourself once the work starts. You'll hear how she and her Navy SEAL husband built their lives around discipline, eliminating decision fatigue, and choosing obsession over comfort. Then, Damar Hamlin delivers one of the most powerful messages I've ever recorded about resilience and perspective. This is a man who literally fought for his life on live television and came back stronger. His advice? Take it one step at a time. Don't drown in self-pity. Move. Even when life knocks you down, you've got to keep putting one foot in front of the other. He'll remind you that gratitude and focus are the oxygen that keep your spirit alive. And finally, Iron Cowboy James Lawrence opens up about what happens after you achieve the impossible. From completing 100 Ironmans in 100 days to facing the emotional crash that followed, James reveals the truth about purpose, pain, and the power of “one more.” His story is proof that even when you've hit your limit, you've still got one more step, one more rep, one more moment of greatness left inside you. These stories are going to shake something loose in you. Because the truth is, your dream isn't waiting for more time—it's waiting for more focus. Key Takeaways: - Why setting sacrifices, not goals, builds unstoppable discipline (Codie Sanchez) - The mindset to eliminate decision fatigue and master consistency - How to rebuild your life one step at a time after loss (Damar Hamlin) - The emotional aftermath of success and how to find meaning again (James Lawrence) - Why doing “one more” is the ultimate mindset for greatness - How obsession creates the life you've been chasing Also don't miss out on MAXOUT2026: Once a year, I open my home for an intimate one-day experience unlike anything else I do.

From SEAL to Studio: The Art of Grit with Justin Hughes In this week's episode of the Team Never Quit Podcast, Marcus, Melanie, and Hunter sit down with Justin Hughes — former Navy SEAL turned professional oil painter — whose journey from the battlefield to the art studio embodies the essence of transformation, discipline, and creative courage. Based out of Charleston, South Carolina, Justin has redefined what it means to serve and to create. As a self-taught representational artist, he channels the lessons, emotions, and intensity of his time in the SEAL Teams into his paintings, merging the warrior spirit with the sensitivity of the fine arts. His mission is to bridge two seemingly distant worlds — the world of combat and the world of creativity — revealing that both demand vision, perseverance, and heart. Listeners will hear how Justin's childhood in Southeast Asia, and a fateful encounter with Lone Survivor sparked a dream that would change his life forever. His story takes us through the rigors of SEAL training, moments of doubt and triumph, and the eventual transition from military service to artistry — a path shaped by struggle, purpose, and redemption. Through his brushstrokes, Justin explores what it means to be a modern warrior — one who fights not only on the battlefield but also in the soul. Drawing comparisons to the renaissance genius Leonardo da Vinci, Hughes uses his art to express the beauty within discipline and the strength found in vulnerability. In this episode you will hear: • My dad was a Huey pilot. (8:44) • I grew up all over Southeast Asia (9:20) • I was thinking: Whatever is gonna be the hardest thing to do in the military; wherever that realm is, those are the people that want to be in those jobs the most. That's gotta be where my people are at. (14:41) • One of the biggest misconceptions of BUDs is you can't just show up and not quit. You still have to be a good team guy. You still have to do the work. You gotta be a performer. You gotta be a pro. We're looking for the whole man. (21:05) • For those of you who don't know what pool competency is. It's the hardest single test in BUDs. (37:55) • When I first started painting, I didn't know any artists. I didn't know anything about art. (62:48) • [Melanie] Q: What's your goal with art? A: Just to be better every day. And continue to provide paintings that are meaningful to people. To glorify the Lord through whatever work I'm doing. (74:30) • I'm still saying “Hooyah! like turrets. (75:25) • It takes a lot of bad work. You've gotta be patient with the process.

Welcome to another episode of the Mike Drop podcast, where we dive deep into the stories of warriors, operators, and those who've lived on the edge. Mike Ritland, retired Navy SEAL, dog trainer, and author, sits down with Jeremy Rebmann—a true embodiment of dedication, precision, and service. Jeremy is a retired FBI Special Agent with an impressive 32-year career spanning the U.S. Air Force and the FBI. A graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy, he started as a Sortie Generation Officer and later served as a Special Agent in the USAF Office of Special Investigations. Transitioning to the FBI, he spent 23 years in the Oklahoma City Field Office, where he logged 21 years as a SWAT operator and sniper, tackling some of the Bureau's most high-stakes missions—from hostage rescues to counterterrorism ops. Beyond his tactical expertise, Jeremy is a certified pilot, WMD agent, emergency medical technician, and evidence response team member. He's also an accomplished author, with his top-10 bestselling short story "Glass Mountain" and his recent book "Send Me: Chronicles of an FBI Sniper," which pulls back the curtain on the intense world of FBI SWAT operations. In this episode, we'll unpack Jeremy's journey from the Air Force Academy to the front lines of law enforcement, the evolution of SWAT tactics, the mental grit required for sniper work, and lessons from his most adrenaline-fueled deployments.
