BONUS: From Combat Pilot to Scrum Master - How Military Leadership Transforms Agile Teams In this bonus episode, we explore a fascinating career transition with Nate Amidon, a former Air Force combat pilot who now helps software teams embed military-grade leadership principles into their Agile practices. Nate shares how the high-stakes discipline of aviation translates directly into building high-performing development teams, and why veterans make exceptional Scrum Masters. The Brief-Execute-Debrief Cycle: Aviation Meets Agile "We would mission brief in the morning and make sure everyone was on the same page. Then we problem-solved our way through the day, debriefed after, and did it again. When I learned about what Agile was, I realized it's the exact same thing."   Nate's transition from flying C-17 cargo planes to working with Agile teams wasn't as jarring as you might expect. Flying missions that lasted 2-3 weeks with a crew of 5-7 people taught him the fundamentals of iterative work: daily alignment, continuous problem-solving, and regular reflection. The brief-execute-debrief cycle that every military pilot learns mirrors the sprint cadence that Agile teams follow. Time-boxing wasn't new to him either—when you're flying, you only have so much fuel, so deadlines aren't arbitrary constraints but physical realities that demand disciplined execution. In this episode with Christian Boucousis, we also discuss the brief-execute-debrief cycle in detail.  In this segment, we also refer to Cynefin, and the classification of complexity.  Alignment: The Real Purpose Behind Ceremonies "It's really important to make sure everyone understands why you're doing what you're doing. We don't brief, execute, debrief just because—we do it because we know that getting everybody on the same page is really important."   One of the most valuable insights Nate brings to his work with software teams is the understanding that Agile ceremonies aren't bureaucratic checkboxes—they're alignment mechanisms. The purpose of sprint planning, daily stand-ups, and retrospectives is to ensure everyone knows the mission and can adapt when circumstances change. Interestingly, Nate notes that as teams become more high-performing, briefings get shorter and more succinct. The discipline remains, but the overhead decreases as shared context grows. The Art of Knowing When to Interrupt "There are times when you absolutely should not interrupt an engineer. Every shoulder tap is a 15-minute reset for them to get back into the game. But there are also times when you absolutely should shoulder tap them."   High-performing teams understand the delicate balance between deep work and necessary communication. Nate shares an aviation analogy: when loadmasters are loading complex cargo like tanks and helicopters, interrupting them with irrelevant updates would be counterproductive. But if you discover that cargo shouldn't be on the plane, that's absolutely worth the interruption. This judgment—knowing what matters enough to break flow—is something veterans develop through high-stakes experience. Building this awareness across a software team requires:   Understanding what everyone is working on Knowing the bigger picture of the mission Creating psychological safety so people feel comfortable speaking up Developing shared context through daily stand-ups and retrospectives Why Veterans Make Exceptional Scrum Masters "I don't understand why every junior officer getting out of the military doesn't just get automatically hired as a Scrum Master. If you were to say what we want a Scrum Master to do, and what a junior military officer does—it's line for line."   Nate's company, Form100 Consulting, specifically hires former military officers and senior NCOs for Agile roles, often bringing them on without tech experience. The results consistently exceed expectations because veterans bring foundational leadership skills that are difficult to develop elsewhere: showing up on time, doing what you say you'll do, taking care of team members, seeing the forest through the trees. These intangible qualities—combined with the ability to stay calm, listen actively, and maintain integrity under pressure—make for exceptional servant leaders in the software development space. The Onboarding Framework for Veterans "When somebody joins, we have assigned everybody a wingman—a dedicated person that they check in with regularly to bounce ideas off, to ask questions."   Form100's approach to transitioning veterans into tech demonstrates the same principles they advocate for Agile teams. They screen carefully for the right personality fit, provide dedicated internal training on Agile methodologies and program management, and pair every new hire with a wingman. This military unit culture helps bridge the gap between active duty service and the private sector, addressing one of the biggest challenges: the expectation gap around leadership standards that exists between military and civilian organizations. Extreme Ownership: Beyond Process Management "To be a good Scrum Master, you have to take ownership of the team's execution. If the product requirements aren't good, it's a Scrum Master's job to help. If QA is the problem, take ownership. You should be the vessel and ownership of the entire process of value delivery."   One of Nate's core philosophies comes from Jocko Willink's Extreme Ownership. Too many Scrum Masters limit themselves to being "process people" who set meetings and run ceremonies. True servant leadership means owning everything that affects the team's ability to deliver value—even things technically outside your job description. When retrospectives devolve into listing external factors beyond the team's control, the extreme ownership mindset reframes the conversation: "Did we give the stakeholder the right information? Did they make a great decision based on bad information we provided?" This shift from blame to ownership drives genuine continuous improvement. Building Feedback Loops in Complex Environments "In the military, we talk about the OODA loop. Everything gets tighter, we get better—that's why we do the debrief."   Understanding whether you're operating in a complicated or complex domain (referencing the Cynefin framework) determines how tight your feedback loops need to be. In complex environments—where most software development lives—feedback loops aren't just for reacting to what happened; they're for probing and understanding what's changing. Sprint goals become essential because without knowing where you're headed, you can't detect when circumstances have shifted. The product owner role becomes critical as the voice connecting business priorities to team execution, ensuring the mission stays current even when priorities change mid-sprint.

Archivo completo del podcast ordenado por temas en: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://global-strategy.org/podcast/⁠ ¡Bienvenidos a Estrategia, el podcast de Global Strategy! En esta conversación, ⁠Samuel Morales⁠ (⁠@smormor1⁠ en X), acompañado por Javier Jordán (⁠@JavierJordanE⁠ en X), analiza la transformación tecnológica como vector de cambio disruptivo en la seguridad nacional, subrayando la transición de un crecimiento lineal a uno exponencial que redefine los centros de gravedad estratégicos. En el episodio se examina cómo la competencia global ha desplazado su foco hacia el control de loscuellos de botella tecnológicos, la soberanía sobre las tierras raras y el desarrollo de capacidades críticas en inteligencia artificial, robótica y seguridad post-cuántica. El análisis advierte que la superioridad militar contemporánea reside más en las líneas de código y el software que en las plataformas convencionales, lo que exige una reconfiguración urgente del modelo industrial de defensa hacia un ecosistema de prototipado rápido y agilidad operativa. Asimismo, se profundiza en las implicaciones de esta mutación tecnológica en la zona gris, donde la emergencia de armas hipersónicas y sistemas autónomos reduce drásticamente los ciclos de decisión estratégica (OODA loop). Este escenario proyecta un horizonte de "paz negativa permanente" y conflicto en la zona gris, caracterizado por operaciones de influencia cognitiva y competencia multidominio. El episodio concluye con un diagnóstico crítico sobre la situación de España y la Unión Europea, instando a una inversión inteligente que priorice la autonomía estratégica tecnológica frente a las dependencias críticas que actualmente comprometen la eficacia de las políticas de seguridad y defensa y la resiliencia nacional.

Russ Miles joins the show to unpack why developer platforms fail and how to rethink platform engineering through the lens of flow of value rather than factory-style developer productivity metaphors. Russ explains why every organization already has an internal developer platform, and why treating it as platform as a product changes everything. The conversation explores cognitive load and cognitive burden, how to design around strong feedback loops, and why the OODA loop mindset helps teams make better decisions closer to development time. They discuss the risks of overloading pipelines and CI/CD systems, the tension between shipping fast and handling security vulnerabilities in a regulated environment, and how to “shift left” without simply dumping responsibility onto developers. Drawing on lessons from Rod Johnson, the Spring Framework, TDD, and modern software engineering as described by Dave Farley, Russ reframes platforms as systems that support experimentation through the scientific method. The episode also touches on AI assisted coding, developer focus, and how thoughtful developer experience and DX surveys can prevent burnout while improving value delivery.

BULLET POINTS GUN FIGHTS No one stepped into the arena this week. THE AGENCY BRIEF Agency Update (Shawn)### Incident Overview: Minneapolis * Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old nurse. Minnesota protest against ICE. * What we do know is he was in Signal chats tracking ICE movements and likely acting as an observer. * It wasn't just standing between them. Pretti involved himself and injected himself between an ICE agent and another protester. That is the moment he stopped being a legal observer and became a suspect for assault on a federal officer. * Mike Brown: The media claiming he was “shot for filming” is the equivalent of saying “Mike Brown was shot for jaywalking.” The initial act is irrelevant. * Gun in question: Sig P320 AXG, red dot, two spare mags. Small-of-back holster. (Note: The choice of the P320 is controversial in itself given its history). ### The Anatomy of a Split-Second Shoot * The Chaos Factor: The environment was absolute bedlam. Whistles blowing, screaming, constant noise—it's hard to even watch the video because it's so overwhelming. This is the “leftist act” 101: create maximum chaos to disorient and frazzle the opposition, and then get mad when human beings react poorly to that sensory overload. * Unreasonable Expectations: It is unreasonable to expect any human, badge or not, to operate at peak capacity when they are being swarmed and deafened. The disorientation is the point. This is the intended outcome. * Quickly: We can frame-by-frame this all day, but on the ground, this decision happened in a single breath. Juries are often instructed to disregard slow motion because it creates a false sense of time. Real-time analysis shows the true speed of the OODA loop. * Sequence: Scuffle starts. Gun gets exposed. “Gun!” is yelled. Agent (maybe) removes Pretti's gun from his holster and moves away from the scrum. Agent in green draws. Less than one second later, shots are fired. * Communication Breakdown: Even if the gun was removed, if that wasn't communicated instantly to the other agents, they are shooting based on the last known fact: “He has a gun.” ### Use of Force: The OODA Loop Reality * Graham v. Connor: The legal standard is what the officer knew *at the time*, not what we find out later. If they didn't know he was disarmed, the shoot is legally justified under *Graham*. * Processing Lag: The OODA Loop (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) is real. There is always a lag between your brain seeing a threat and your finger moving. * Awful but Lawful: Because the timeline was compressed into milliseconds, an agent could reasonably believe the threat was active. ### Tactical Failures * Five agents on one guy. It seemed overly chaotic and overall bad tactics. * We are stuck relying on shaky cell phone footage because uniformed feds aren't recording. * It is heavily speculated that the 320 went off, which is what drove the shooting. As many times as I've watched frame by frame, I can't confirm that. ### The Narrative: Government Lies & “Ridiculous” Takes The disconnect between the video and the official story is insulting. They immediately pivoted to extreme hyperbole. Officials are using this to set a precedent that carrying a gun invalidates your First Amendment rights. * Gregory Bovino (Border Patrol Commander): “This looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement.” * Stephen Miller (Deputy White House Chief of Staff): “A would-be assassin tried to murder federal law enforcement…” * Kristi Noem (DHS Secretary): Labeled him a “domestic terrorist” and claimed he arrived to “inflict maximum damage.” * Kristi Noem (DHS Secretary): “I don't know of any peaceful protester that shows up with a gun… This is a violent riot when you have someone showing up with weapons…” * Kash Patel (FBI Director): “No one who wants to be peaceful shows up at a protest with a firearm that is loaded with two full magazines! That is not a peaceful protest.” * All fucking lies. This is a terrible anti-2A take. Plenty of us carry at protests and everywhere fucking else. If we let them normalize this “guns = riot” talk, they will use it to disarm us next. ### Anti-2A Rhetoric * Suddenly, anti-gun groups like Brady United are defending a “legal gun owner” just to attack the police. They don't care about Pretti; they just hate the Trump and ICE more than they hate guns right now. ### 2A Absolutism * This is the moment that separates the 2A tourists from the absolutists. It's easy to defend your friends. The test is defending your enemies. American citizens, as long as they have not been legally disqualified, should have the right to carry a firearm. The second amendment is clear. * If you believe in the Second Amendment, you have to believe it applies to everyone, even the anti-ICE radical leftist, mentally ill, TDS guy you disagree with. * Fucking hypocrites, you don't believe in rights; you believe in privileges. Dangerous freedom isn't just a quote, it's a fucking fundamental idea. ### The Burden of Carry & Rittenhouse * I'm not sad he's gone, and frankly, this is a classic case of FAFO. He didn't deserve to die though. * The Rule: “Don't do stupid shit while armed.” Pretti failed. * If you draw the attention of law enforcement while armed, you better chill the fuck out. However, as the Daniel Shaver case proved, even full compliance doesn't guarantee survival. That cop was acquitted btw. * This is Kyle Rittenhouse all over again. A guy took a gun to a volatile counter-protest and it went sideways. Watch the hypocrisy, people who hate Rittenhouse are defending Pretti, and vice versa. You can't have it both ways. ### The “Jackboot” Reality Check * You can support the mission (border security) and still recognize that the agents are often the jackbooted thugs who will stomp on your neck if ordered. * Don't forget COVID. Don't forget Ashli Babbitt on J6. When the chips fall, law enforcement will follow orders, not necessarily the Constitution. * The Cost: There are good cops, sure, but ultimately, blue team will always be their priority. ### Is It Worth It? * Imagine defending illegal immigrant criminals. * The left is mentally ill. This is not about defending illegal immigrants. In fact most of them probably feel the same way as the rest of us. This is about defying Trump because they are all massively inflicted with Trump derangement syndrome. WLS IS LIFESTYLE GOING BALLISTIC

In this episode, Coach G and Brent Phillips explore the nuances of action under pressure, decision-making in high-stress situations, and the transition from military to civilian life. They discuss the fight or flight response, the OODA loop, and the importance of real-world experience in applying training. The conversation also touches on the challenges of communication and emotional intelligence in civilian settings, as well as the future of American manufacturing and the role of creativity in business.

In this episode, Elliot Weil, founder of OODA Motorsports, joins us to talk about his Porsche journey and how real-world track failures led to engineering breakthroughs. Elliot shares his ownership experience with a 997.2 RS, including a catastrophic engine failure that didn't just stop him—it pushed him to innovate. Rather than accepting the limits of stock components, he developed new high-performance parts using better materials to enhance reliability for serious track work and high-performance applications. We dive deep into Elliot's approach to building the perfect Porsche, including the personal decision to change his dream car's color and the philosophy behind getting every detail right. The conversation covers the unique appeal of air-cooled ownership, navigating today's vintage Porsche market, and comparing the driving dynamics across different 911 generations. What draws enthusiasts to specific models? What makes one generation feel different from another? Elliot shares his future modification plans and what keeps the passion alive for these cars. Thank you for your support! Kimchi Crew: Leslie, Chris, Ken, Aaron, Matthew, Sean, and Nik  

John Boyd's OODA loop is widely referenced but fundamentally misunderstood. Mark McGrath reveals how the common circular diagram represents less than one percent of Boyd's work. The real framework centers on orientation—constantly updating mental models through destruction and creation. This conversation explores entropy, uncertainty, and incompleteness as foundations for adaptive decision-making in tactical operations, business strategy, and leadership.Guest Information:Mark McGrath Marine Corps Veteran, Master's Degree in Economics, Author of 'The Whirl of Reorientation' Substack, Co-Host of 'No Way Out' Podcast

We are at a moment of impasse, a time where political spaces and dynamics are shifting drastically. In the past months we have seen military units deploy to streets, the DOJ get used as an overt weapon of the administration, and terrorism laws being openly utilized to suppress anarchist movements. At the same time, there is a distinct sense in which the state, and this current administration, is breaking the state apart while they are trying to consolidate control over it. We are stuck in a race between administrative authoritarianism and the collapse of the American state as we understand it. The result has been a situation that is kinetic rather than definitive, in which the conditions of politics change into terms that are more material and less clear, which differ from place to place, and in which situational awareness becomes paramount for anyone attempting to act directly and effectively.At times like this it makes sense to do something anarchists have been doing for decades, delving into operational theory. Operational theory is often described as the space that exists between strategy (large-scale movements over time) and tactics (the immediate techniques of fighting). It is a space in which we focus on dynamics, terrains, logistics, in an attempt not to pin an enemy down to simple categories, but to understand ourselves as acting in an environment that shapes those enemies, and ourselves, in very specific hyper-localized ways. In this discussion we will be sitting down with an editor for the upcoming publication BREACH Digest to talk a little bit about operational theory. We discuss what operational theory is, the history of anarchists studying the operational arts, and some resources that you can get into if you want to dig deeper. BREACH Digest is a forthcoming publication with a release scheduled in the coming months.

BONUS: Flawless Execution — Translating Fighter Pilot Precision to Business Results In this powerful conversation, former fighter pilot Christian "Boo" Boucousis reveals how military precision translates into agile business leadership. We explore the FLEX model (Plan-Brief-Execute-Debrief), the critical difference between control-based and awareness-based leadership, and why most organizations fail to truly embrace iterative thinking. From Cockpit to Boardroom: An Unexpected Journey "I learned over time that it doesn't matter what you do if you're always curious, and you're always intentional, and you're always asking questions." — Christian "Boo" Boucousis   Christian's path from fighter pilot to leadership consultant wasn't planned—it was driven by necessity and curiosity. After 11 years as a fighter pilot (7 in Australia, 4 in the UK), an autoimmune condition ended his flying career at age 30. Rather than accepting a comfy job flying politicians around, he chose entrepreneurship. He moved to Afghanistan with a friend and built a reconstruction company that grew to a quarter billion dollars in four years. The secret? The debrief skills he learned as a fighter pilot. By constantly asking "What are you trying to achieve? How's it going? Why is there a gap?" he approached business with an agile mindset before he even knew what agile was. This curiosity-driven, question-focused approach became the foundation for everything that followed. The FLEX Model: Plan-Brief-Execute-Debrief "Agile and scrum were co-created by John Sutherland, who was a fighter pilot, and its origins sit in the OODA loop and iteration. Which is why it's a circle." — Christian "Boo" Boucousis   The FLEX model isn't new—fighter pilots have used this Plan-Brief-Execute-Debrief cycle for 60 years. It's the ultimate simple agile model, designed to help teams accelerate toward goals using the same accelerated learning curve the Air Force uses to train fighter pilots. The key insight: everything in this model is iterative, not linear. Every mission has a start, middle, and end, and every stage involves constant adaptation. Afterburner (the company Christian now leads as CEO) has worked with nearly 3,800 companies and 2.8 million people over 30 years, teaching this model. What's fascinating is that the DNA of agile is baked into fighter pilot thinking—John Sutherland, co-creator of Scrum, wrote the foreword for Christian's book "The Afterburner Advantage" because they share the same roots in the OODA loop and iterative thinking. Why Iterative Thinking Doesn't Come Naturally "Iterative thinking is not a natural human model. Most of the time we learn from mistakes. We don't learn as a habit." — Christian "Boo" Boucousis   Here's the hard truth: agile as a way of working is very different from the way human beings naturally think. Business leadership models still hark back to Frederick Winslow Taylor's 1911 book on scientific management—industrial era leadership designed for building buildings, not creating software. Time is always linear (foundation, then structure, then finishing), and this shapes how we think about planning. Humans also tend to organize like villages with chiefs, warriors, and gatherers—hierarchical and political. Fighter pilots created a parallel system where politics exist outside missions, but during execution, personality clashes can't interfere. The challenge for business isn't the method—it's getting human minds to embrace iteration as a habit, not just a process they follow when forced. Planning: Building Collective Consciousness, Not Task Lists "Planning isn't all about sequencing actions—that's not planning. That's the byproduct of planning, which is collectively agreeing what good looks like at the end." — Christian "Boo" Boucousis   Most people plan in their head or in front of a spreadsheet by themselves. That's not planning—that's collecting thoughts. Real planning means bringing everyone on the team together to build collective consciousness about what's possible. The plan is always "the best idea based on what we know now." Once airborne, everything changes because the enemy doesn't cooperate with your plan. Planning is about the destination, not the work to get there. Think about airline pilots: they don't tell you about traffic delays on their commute or maintenance issues. They say "Welcome aboard, our destination is Amsterdam, there's weather on the way, we'll land 5 minutes early." That's a brief—just the effect on you based on all their work. Most business meetings waste 55 minutes on backstory and 5 minutes deciding to have another meeting. Fighter pilots focus entirely on: What are we trying to achieve? What might get in the way? Let's go. Briefing: The 25-Minute Focus Window "You need 25 minutes of focus before your brain really focuses on the task. You program your brain for the mission at hand." — Christian "Boo" Boucousis   The brief is the moment between planning and execution when the plan is as accurate as it'll ever get. It's called "brief" for a reason—it's really short. The team checks that everyone understands the plan in today's context, accounting for last-minute changes (broken equipment, weather, personnel changes). Then comes the critical part: creating the mission bubble. From the brief until mission end, there are no distractions, no notifications. If someone tries to interrupt a fighter pilot walking to the jet, the response is clear: "I'm in my mission bubble. No distractions." This isn't optional—research shows it takes 25 minutes of uninterrupted focus before your brain truly locks onto a task. Yet most business leaders expect constant availability, with notifications pinging every few minutes. If you need everyone to have notifications on to run your business, you're doing a really bad job at planning. Execution: Awareness-Based Leadership vs. Control-Based Leadership "The reason we have so many meetings is because the leader is trying to control the situation and own all the awareness. It's not humanly possible to do that." — Christian "Boo" Boucousis   During execution, fighter pilots fly the plan until it doesn't work anymore—then they adapt. A mission commander might lead 70 airplanes, but can't possibly track all 69 others. Instead, they create "gates"—checkpoints where everyone confirms they're in the right place within 10 seconds. They plan for chaos, creating awareness points where the team is generally on track or not. The key shift: from control-based leadership (the leader tries to control everything) to awareness-based leadership (the leader facilitates and listens for divergences). This includes "subordinated leadership"—any of the four pilots in a formation can take the lead if they have better awareness. If a wingman calls out a threat the leader doesn't see, the immediate response is "Press! You take the lead." This works because they planned for it and have criteria. Business teams profess to want this kind of agile collaboration, but struggle because they haven't invested in the planning and shared understanding that makes fluid leadership transitions possible. Abort Criteria: Knowing When to Stop "We have this concept called abort criteria. If certain criteria are hit, we abort the mission. I think that's a massive opportunity for business." — Christian "Boo" Boucousis   There are degrees of things going wrong: a little bit, a medium amount, and everything going wrong. When everything's going wrong, fighter pilots stop and turn around—they don't keep pressing a bad situation. This "abort criteria" concept is massively underutilized in business. Too often, teams press bad situations, transparency disappears, people stop talking, and everyone goes into survival mode (protect myself, blame others). This never happens with fighter pilots. If something goes wrong, they take accountability and make the best decision. The most potent team size is four people: a leader, deputy leader, and two wingmen. This small team size with clear roles and shared abort criteria creates psychological safety to call out problems and adapt quickly. The Retrospective Mindset: Not Just a Ritual "A retrospective isn't a ritual. It's actually a way of thinking. It's a cognitive model. If you approached everything as a retrospective—what are we trying to achieve? How's it going? Why is it not going where we want? What's the one action to get back on track?" — Christian "Boo" Boucousis   The debrief—the retrospective—is the most important part of fighter pilot culture translated into agile. It's not just a meeting you have at the end of a sprint. It's a mindset you apply to everything: projects, relationships, personal development. Christian introduces "Flawless Leadership" built on three M's: Method (agile practices), Mindset (growth mindset developed through acting iteratively), and Moments (understanding when to show up as a people leader vs. an impact leader). The biggest mistake in technology: teams do retrospectives internally but don't include the business. They get a brief from the business, build for two months, come back, and the business says "What is this? This isn't what I expected." If they'd had the business in every scrum, every iteration, trust would build naturally. Everyone involved in the mission must be part of the planning, briefing, executing, and debriefing. Leading in the Moment: Three Layers of Leadership "Your job as a scrum master, as a leader—it doesn't matter if you're leading a division of people—is to be aware. And you're only going to be aware by listening." — Christian "Boo" Boucousis   Christian breaks leadership into three layers: People Leadership (political, emotional, dealing with personalities and overwhelm), Impact Leadership (the agile layer, results-driven, scientific), and Leading Now (the reactive, amygdala-driven panic response when things go wrong). The mistake: mixing these layers. Don't try to be a people leader during execution—that's not the time. But if you're really good at impact leadership (planning, breaking epics into stories, getting work done), you become high trust and high credibility. People leadership becomes easier because success eliminates excuses. During execution, watch for individual traits and blind spots. Use one-on-ones with a retrospective mindset: "What does good look like for you? How do we get to where you're not frustrated?" When leaders aren't present—checking phones and watches during meetings—they lose people. Your job as a leader is to turn your ears on, facilitate (not direct), and listen for divergences others don't see. The Technology-Business Disconnect "Every time you're having a scrum, every time you're coming together to talk about the product, just have the business there with you. It's easy." — Christian "Boo" Boucousis   One of the biggest packages of work Afterburner does: technology teams ask them to help build trust with the business. The solution is shockingly simple—include the business in every scrum, every planning session, every retrospective. Agile is a tech-driven approach, creating a disconnect. Technology brings overwhelming information about how hard they're working and problems they've solved, but business doesn't care about the past. They care about the future: what are you delivering and when? During the Gulf War, the military scaled this fighter pilot model to large-scale planning. Fighter pilots work with marines, special forces, navy, CIA agents—everyone is part of the plan. If one person is missing from planning, execution falls apart. If someone on the ground doesn't know how an F-18 works, the jet is just expensive decoration. Planning is about learning what everyone else does and how to support them best—not announcing what you'll do and how you'll do it. High-Definition Destinations: Beyond Goals "Planning is all about the destination, not the work to get there. Think about when you hop on an airplane—the pilot doesn't tell you the whole backstory. They say 'Welcome aboard, our destination is Amsterdam, there's weather on the way, we'll land 5 minutes early.' All you want is the effect on you." — Christian "Boo" Boucousis   Christian uses the term "High-Definition Destinations" rather than goals. The difference is clarity and vividness. When you board a plane, you don't get the pilot's commute story or maintenance details—you get the destination, obstacles, and estimated arrival. That's communication focused on effect, not process. Most business communication does the opposite: overwhelming context, backstory, and detail, with the destination buried somewhere in the middle. The brief should always be: Here's where we're going. Here's what might get in the way. Let's go. This communication style—focused on outcomes and effects rather than processes and problems—transforms how teams align and execute. It eliminates the noise and centers everyone on what actually matters: the destination.   About Christian "Boo" Boucousis   Christian "Boo" Boucousis is a former fighter pilot who now helps leaders navigate today's fast-moving world.

People sometimes make mistakes [citation needed]. The obvious explanation for most of those mistakes is that decision makers do not have access to the information necessary to avoid the mistake, or are not smart/competent enough to think through the consequences of their actions. This predicts that as decision-makers get access to more information, or are replaced with smarter people, their decisions will get better. And this is substantially true! Markets seem more efficient today than they were before the onset of the internet, and in general decision-making across the board has improved on many dimensions. But in many domains, I posit, decision-making has gotten worse, despite access to more information, and despite much larger labor markets, better education, the removal of lead from gasoline, and many other things that should generally cause decision-makers to be more competent and intelligent. There is a lot of variance in decision-making quality that is not well-accounted for by how much information actors have about the problem domain, and how smart they are. I currently believe that the factor that explains most of this remaining variance is "paranoia", in-particular the kind of paranoia that becomes more adaptive as your environment gets [...] ---Outline:(01:31) A market for lemons(05:02) Its lemons all the way down(06:15) Fighter jets and OODA loops(08:23) The first thing you try is to blind yourself(13:37) The second thing you try is to purge the untrustworthy(20:55) The third thing to try is to become unpredictable and vindictive --- First published: November 13th, 2025 Source: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/yXSKGm4txgbC3gvNs/paranoia-rules-everything-around-me --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO.

In this episode, host Jason Kikta talks with Dmitri Alperovitch – CrowdStrike co-founder and chairman of the Automox board – about how speed and precision define modern cyber defense. Alperovitch explores how the OODA loop (Observe–Orient–Decide–Act), a concept rooted in military strategy, can help IT and security teams detect, respond, and adapt to threats in real time.They discuss why cloud-native automation is essential for staying ahead, how to close gaps between IT and security teams, and what happens when organizations react too slowly. Drawing on decades of experience in cybersecurity and threat intelligence, this conversation challenges you to rethink what it means to be fast enough to defend your environment.This episode originally aired on June 13, 2024.

Bienvenido al podcast Productividad Máxima. Soy el clon en prácticas de Borja Girón. Si hoy me notas un pelín metálico, paciencia: estoy en versión beta, pero en cuanto me actualicen dos veces más empiezo a presentar yo el programa y a Borja le dejo las tareas de becario. Hoy traigo una estrategia de productividad sobre Ciclo OODA para emprendedores: decide más rápido y corrige antes.Y ahora toca una historia real para que lo entiendas al vuelo. Vamos a la aviación militar de mediados del siglo veinte. John Boyd, piloto de caza de la Fuerza Aérea de Estados Unidos, se hizo famoso por ganar combates simulados en menos de cuarenta segundos. Su secreto no era un avión más potente, era un ciclo de decisiones más rápido: observar, orientar, decidir y actuar. Mientras el oponente aún procesaba lo que pasaba, Boyd ya estaba ejecutando la siguiente maniobra. Esa idea se llamó OODA. Y lo curioso es que no solo sirve en combate; cuando tu ciclo es más corto que el del rival, tomas ventaja. En negocios pasa lo mismo: si observas el mercado, te orientas con criterio, decides una acción y la ejecutas antes de que otros terminen su reunión, te llevas al cliente.Continuamos con un aprendizaje rápido. Toma nota. El enemigo del emprendedor no es la falta de horas, es la lentitud del ciclo. Cuando tardas días en decidir y semanas en actuar, la realidad te adelanta. Si comprimes tu ciclo a bloques de sesenta minutos, reduces el coste del error, aumentas la frecuencia de aciertos y conviertes tu calendario en una fábrica de decisiones útiles.Para aterrizarlo, te propongo un OODA de sesenta minutos. Primero, observa durante cinco minutos: datos simples, no enciclopedias. Abre tu analítica, mira la última campaña, revisa dos métricas y lee dos mensajes de clientes. Segundo, oriéntate durante cinco minutos: ¿qué significa lo que ves? Formula una hipótesis sencilla, por ejemplo “los leads convierten mejor cuando la oferta menciona entrega en veinticuatro horas”. Tercero, decide en un minuto: una acción concreta con verbo de entrega. Nada de “trabajar en ello”, sino “cambiar el titular de la landing y añadir prueba social”. Cuarto, actúa durante treinta minutos: ejecuta solo esa acción, versión uno lista para publicar. Quinto, cierra durante diez minutos: publica, mide un indicador de referencia y agenda la siguiente iteración. Ese es tu ciclo. Cuando lo repites cada día, empiezas a ganar por inercia.Este episodio está patrocinado por Systeme, la herramienta de marketing todo en uno gratuita con la que puedes crear tu web, blog, landing page y tienda online, crear automatizaciones y embudos de venta, realizar tus campañas de email marketing, vender cursos online, añadir pagos online e incluso crear webinars automatizados. Puedes empezar a usar Systeme gratis entrando en borjagiron.com barra systeme o desde el link de la descripción. Y ahora continuamos con el episodio.Y ahora toca una historia rápida para que lo veas con un caso particular. Clara vende formación para abogados. Llevaba semanas dándole vueltas al precio y a la propuesta de valor. Cambiamos reuniones por un OODA diario. Día uno, observó que la página con más visitas tenía un tiempo de lectura bajo. Se orientó: quizá el titular no conectaba. Decidió cambiarlo a una promesa específica y añadió un testimonio con nombre y colegio profesional. Actuó en treinta minutos y publicó. Día dos, observó un aumento en clics al botón. Se orientó: faltaba urgencia clara. Decidió añadir una garantía de catorce días y un bono de seguimiento. Actuó y midió. Día cuatro, subió el precio veinte euros porque la tasa de conversión lo permitía. Resultado en una semana: más ingresos con las mismas visitas y un proceso de decisiones que ya no dependía de inspiración, sino de ciclos rápidos con datos reales.Para que lo apliques desde hoy sin complicarte, quédate con tres reglas. Uno, limita la información: dos métricas y dos comentarios de clientes por ciclo. Demasiados datos frenan la orientación. Dos, prioriza decisiones reversibles: es más productivo hacer cinco cambios pequeños que un gran cambio cada mes. Tres, pon caducidad: cada ciclo debe acabar en algo visible, publicado o enviado. Si no termina en entrega, no cuenta.Y ahora vamos con el resumen del episodio. Hemos visto que la ventaja no está en tener más horas, sino en acortar el ciclo de observar, orientar, decidir y actuar. Lo aprendimos del mundo aéreo con John Boyd y lo aterrizamos con un bloque de sesenta minutos: cinco para observar, cinco para orientarte, uno para decidir, treinta para actuar y diez para cerrar y medir. Viste cómo una emprendedora mejoró titulares, ofertas y precios sin drama, solo con iteraciones cortas. La idea central es que un ciclo rápido reduce el coste del error y acelera el aprendizaje.Tu única acción hoy es esta: reserva sesenta minutos, corta notificaciones y ejecuta un OODA completo sobre tu página principal. Observa dos métricas y dos comentarios, oriéntate con una hipótesis, decide un cambio concreto de alto impacto, actúa y publica una versión uno, y cierra midiendo un dato base para comparar mañana.Antes de despedirme, si quieres decidir mejor para no perder tiempo ni dinero, te recomiendo el Club de Emprendedores Triunfers, al que puedes unirte desde Triunfers.com. Deja de tomar malas decisiones en tu negocio. Es un Club Privado de Emprendedores que nos ayudamos a solucionar dudas y problemas para tomar mejores decisiones de negocio. Una mala decisión puede hundir tu negocio, además de hacerte perder mucho tiempo y dinero. Sin olvidar la frustración, la ansiedad, tener que cerrar tu negocio y abandonar tu sueño de emprender con libertad. Deja de tomar malas decisiones. Antes de hacer algo pregunta a los expertos del club.Y hasta aquí por hoy. Si has llegado hasta el final escuchando a un clon en prácticas, te has ganado una cláusula antiaburrimiento en tu contrato de oyente. Prometo que en la próxima actualización ya hago chistes buenos y dejo a Borja programando mis cafés. Gracias por compartir el episodio con esa persona que lo pueda necesitar. Te espero mañana en el próximo episodio.

Why do we freeze when we should act? Why do organizations wait for the crisis to end before changing? In this episode, Todd DeVoe and Brian Colburn unpack the psychological trap of normalcy bias and its close cousin, complacency — the silent killers that erode readiness long before disaster strikes.Drawing from behavioral science, real-world emergency management experience, and leadership philosophy, they explore how our brains resist change, why “business as usual” is so seductive, and how leaders can build cultures that recognize danger without panic and adapt without hesitation.From the OODA and POP-DOC loops to the quiet moments before chaos hits, Todd and Dan challenge emergency managers to confront the most dangerous phrase in the field: “It's fine — we've always done it this way.”Show Notes:Hosts: Todd T. DeVoe & Brian ColburnProduced by: The Emergency Management NetworkEpisode Length: ~45 minutesKey Themes Covered:* Understanding Normalcy Bias: Why our minds reject disruptive information and how that plays out in disasters.* Complacency as Organizational Decay: How routine and comfort create blind spots that make us brittle, not resilient.* Lessons from the Field: Real-world examples where complacency cost time, trust, and sometimes lives.* Cognitive Loops for Leaders: How frameworks like OODA and POP-DOC help break the freeze-response and restore situational awareness.* The Moral Imperative of Readiness: Why awareness isn't paranoia — it's professionalism.* Cultural Antidotes: Creating workplaces where curiosity and adaptation are rewarded more than compliance and comfort.Referenced Concepts & Thinkers: John Boyd's OODA Loop, Eric McNulty and the NPLI POP-DOC model, Daniel Kahneman's cognitive biases, and Stoic and Taoist perspectives on awareness and control.

The conversation centers around his new Orient-Step-Learn framework, designed to help individual developers master true simplicity through deliberate practice and feedback loops, emphasizing that real simplicity requires mastery and cannot be achieved overnight.Dave advocates for developers to take personal agency, reduce unnecessary dependencies, and focus on what they can control rather than waiting for organizational change, arguing that simplicity is ultimately about cutting away complexity to reveal elegant, minimal solutions.RECOMMENDED BOOKSDave Thomas • simplicity • https://amzn.to/43FghBJDave Thomas & Andy Hunt • The Pragmatic Programmer • https://amzn.to/43QuMBjDave Snowden & Friends • Cynefin • https://amzn.to/3FSnF3Inspiring Tech Leaders - The Technology PodcastInterviews with Tech Leaders and insights on the latest emerging technology trends.Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifyBlueskyTwitterInstagramLinkedInFacebookCHANNEL MEMBERSHIP BONUSJoin this channel to get early access to videos & other perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCs_tLP3AiwYKwdUHpltJPuA/joinLooking for a unique learning experience?Attend the next GOTO conference near you!

We take a hard, clear look at former CIA targeting officer Sarah Adams' recent warnings—from the so‑called “invisible bomb” designed to slip past today's screening to legal immigration pathways that sophisticated networks may exploit—and translate them into practical steps for everyday listeners who want to be ready without living scared.We start by setting the stakes: Adams' track record spans Al‑Qaeda targeting, on‑the‑ground experience during Benghazi, and later advisory roles that honed her eye for systemic gaps. From there, we unpack the core risks she's raising now: potential threats to aviation and crowded public venues, vetting and information‑sharing failures, and the uncomfortable reality that bureaucracy moves slower than adversaries. Rather than catastrophize, we use these insights to build a calm, capable posture: situational awareness grounded in the OODA loop, small but reliable go‑bags and get‑home bags, and an information diet that favors verified alerts over viral fear.You'll hear how to pressure‑test your routine in airports, malls, concerts, and stadiums; what to include in a minimalist kit that serves for terror threats and natural disasters alike; and why local alert systems, police feeds, and primary sources can out‑perform national noise when minutes matter. We also make the case for community readiness—Stop the Bleed training, first aid basics, neighbor networks—and for respectful civic pressure to improve visa screening, detection technology, and intel‑sharing between federal and local agencies. The throughline is simple: vigilance is not paranoia, and preparedness is a form of care for the people you love.If this deep dive helps you think clearer and act smarter, subscribe, share the show with a friend, and leave a quick review to help others find it.

We brought in Christopher, a paramedic with 30 years of experience, to walk us through what actually saves lives before an ambulance arrives. This is a clear, no-drama guide to the tools and decisions that work under pressure.We start with tourniquets: which ones to buy (CAT, SOFT-T, etc), how to spot counterfeits, and why the initial strap pull matters more than endless windlass turns. We cover when to apply a TQ (think bright, pulsing arterial bleeds), why legs often need two, and how to improvise using wide cloth and a rigid windlass if you've run out of commercial gear. Then we shift to the “box”—chest and torso—where pressure isn't enough. You'll learn to find every hole, use chest seals (and their packaging) to manage sucking chest wounds, and “burp” a seal if breathing worsens. For non‑tourniquet bleeds (groin, shoulder, neck), we get hands-on with wound packing and explain why hemostatic gauze beats powder.The small details save lives. Hypothermia ruins clotting, so we talk warming casualties even in summer with space blankets and layers. We unpack a lean IFAK you'll actually carry: real tourniquets, compressed gauze, chest seals, serious tape, shears, and an elastic wrap. On the meds front, we keep it simple and strong: Tylenol for pain and fever, ibuprofen for inflammation, and diphenhydramine for nausea, anxiety, and spasm—plus how to dose when someone can't swallow. We also get practical about triage: move people out of danger first, then treat. The OODA loop gives you a mental map to make a decision fast when your hands shake and your heart pounds.This isn't theory. It's the stuff a parent, usher, or bystander can do in a church, a parking lot, or on a road shoulder and feel confident they made the right call. You'll use a med kit before a gun; and if you ever use a gun, you'll need the med kit. Build yours, train your hands, and be ready to act.

Ghost welcomes retired Army Lt. Colonel Oakland McCulloch back for a deep dive into the Marine Corps manual FM1 Warfighting and its lessons for both kinetic and information warfare. They explore timeless principles like friction, uncertainty, fluidity, and disorder, showing how simple plans, decentralized decision-making, and adaptability are as critical in today's information battles as they are on the battlefield. Colonel McCulloch shares insights from his time in Kosovo, where diplomacy, economics, and psychological operations proved more effective than bullets, and explains how concepts like the OODA loop, surprise, boldness, and tempo apply far beyond the military. With examples from World War II, the Gulf War, and modern geopolitics, the conversation illustrates how maneuver warfare, striking weakness instead of strength, reinforcing success, and exploiting opportunity, remains the key to victory. Together, Ghost and McCulloch connect battlefield strategy to Trump's political maneuvers, the cultural struggle in America, and the broader war for sovereignty.

Send us a text by clicking this link!The tragic case of Iryna Sarutska, a Ukrainian woman brutally attacked on public transportation while absorbed in her phone, serves as a stark reminder of why situational awareness matters more than ever. In this eye-opening episode, we dive deep into the forgotten art of environmental vigilance – a skill that could mean the difference between life and death.The modern world has trained us to keep our heads down, eyes locked on screens, hoping to remain invisible in public spaces. But this disconnection from our surroundings has created a society of potential victims. We explore the OODA loop (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act), a powerful framework developed by military strategist John Boyd that can transform your ability to perceive threats before they materialize.From practical strategies for navigating public spaces to understanding the psychology of violence, we cover essential skills everyone should develop. Learn about the color code system of awareness, how to identify pre-attack indicators, and why most people freeze during violent encounters. We share insights from experts like Varg Freeborn and former military personnel on developing the mindset needed to protect yourself and loved ones.For those who carry firearms for protection, we discuss optimal carry positions, holster selection, and the importance of proper training. But situational awareness extends far beyond self-defense – it's about cultivating a heightened state of presence that enriches every aspect of life while keeping you safer.Whether you're concerned about personal safety, protecting your family, or simply becoming more present in a distraction-filled world, this episode provides actionable wisdom for navigating today's unpredictable environment.

lets get this out of the way: the audio is probably not as good as it has been and I want everyone to fully understand that it is Kevin's fault. Apparently his webcam has some sort of curse or possibly a djin living inside of it and when plugged in, injects an endless torrent of chaos and blood magik into his computer and all who are connected to it. But we still did the work. Ooda loops is what is on the menu today. ✅This is a professional, casual episode description for your podcast.

Cyberattacks aren't just about hackers in hoodies anymore. Today, we're up against professionalized, well-funded organizations that run like businesses. They use AI to crack defenses, run labs that simulate the tools we rely on, and rake in trillions while defenders struggle to keep pace. The scary part? Even the strongest companies and governments can fall behind when the threat landscape moves this fast. My guest, Evan Powell, has spent nearly 30 years in the cybersecurity world. He's the founder and CEO of Deep Tempo, and a serial entrepreneur who's helped industries from cloud data to resilience engineering make big transitions. Evan knows what it looks like when attackers have the upper hand, and he's seen firsthand how enterprises try to shift the balance. In this conversation, Evan explains why compliance checkboxes aren't enough, why raising the cost of an attack is often more realistic than stopping one outright, and how AI is reshaping both sides of the fight. He also shares the creative ways defenders are adapting, from honeypots to sock puppets, and the simple steps every one of us can take to make life harder for attackers. Show Notes: [00:57] Evan Powell introduces himself as founder and CEO of Deep Tempo, with nearly 30 years in cybersecurity and tech innovation. [02:39] He recalls a high-profile spearphishing case where the CIA director's AOL email and home router were compromised. [03:51] Attackers are professionalizing, running AI-powered labs, and making trillions while defenders spend billions and still fall behind. [07:06] Evan contrasts compliance-driven “checkbox security” with threat-informed defense that anticipates attacker behavior. [09:40] Enterprises deploy creative tactics like honeypots and sock puppet employees to study attackers in action. [12:22] Raising the cost of attack through stronger habits, better routers, and multi-factor authentication can make attacks less profitable. [15:01] Attackers are using AI to morph and simulate defenses, while defenders experiment with anomaly detection and adaptive models. [20:56] Evan explains why security vendors themselves can become attack vectors and why data should sometimes stay inside customer environments. [24:50] He draws parallels between fraud rings and cybercrime, where different groups handle exploits, ransomware, and money laundering. [26:29] The debate over “hacking back” raises legal and policy questions about whether enterprises should strike attackers directly. [30:18] Network providers struggle with whether they should act as firewalls to protect compromised consumer devices. [34:59] Data silos across 50+ vendors per enterprise create “Franken-stacks,” slowing real-time defense and collaboration. [37:28] AI agents may help unify security systems by querying across silos and tightening the OODA loop for faster response. [39:10] MITRE's ATT&CK framework and open-source collaboration are pushing the industry toward more shared knowledge. [41:05] Evan acknowledges burnout in cybersecurity roles but sees automation and better tools improving day-to-day work. [42:59] Final advice: corporations should rethink from first principles with data-centric solutions, and consumers must build protective habits like MFA and secret family phrases.

In today's episode of Construction Genius, we dive deep into a powerful leadership framework that can transform how you run your construction projects — the Fighter Pilot Mindset based on John Boyd's legendary OODA loop. In fast-paced, high-risk environments — whether it's a fighter jet or a complex construction site — the speed and quality of your team's decision-making can make or break project outcomes.   Yet many construction leaders today face persistent challenges: ✅ Bridging the gap between office leadership and field crews ✅ Balancing safety and productivity under constant schedule pressure ✅ Driving real-time decision-making on job sites that are always changing ✅ Building a job site culture where workers are empowered — not micromanaged ✅ Improving communication between leadership and the front line That's where the OODA loop — Observe, Orient, Decide, Act — comes in. Originally designed for fighter pilots in life-or-death combat, this mental model helps leaders and crews think faster and act smarter — without sacrificing safety. My guest today is Stokes McIntyre, CEO of MindForge, who brings a unique background in both film production and construction technology. Stokes is passionate about helping construction leaders apply OODA loop thinking to close the field-office communication gap and create job sites where safety and speed reinforce each other — not compete.   RESOURCES Website - mindforgeapp.com   LinkedIn Handle - linkedin.com/in/stokesmcintyre/  Insta -  instagram.com/mindforgellc/   X - x.com/MindForge   Facebook - facebook.com/mindforgeinc  Company LinkedIn - linkedin.com/company/mindforgellc  Restaurant Recommendation - giuseppesritrovo.com/

We took a minute. Summer break, slow mode, call it what you want. We're back. Still cruising at 33, but this one hits like it's cut at 45. Korbeat steps in with a mix that doesn't waste a second. Colombian-born, Brooklyn-based, and clearly not here to fill space. Sixty-three minutes of pulsing, precision-engineered techno that moves like a night train, no brakes, no letup. Opening track? Sciama's Intercede on OODA. It sets the tone, and the pressure just builds from there. This isn't some throwaway club hour but a lean, locked-in, and fully dialed mix. No fluff. No filler. Just groove and grit. Transitions snap like circuit breakers, clean, sudden, right on cue. Korbeat co-runs Bajo Constructo out of Armenia, Quindío in Colombia, and was a resident of Seis Records. Lately, he's been surfacing on compilations from QEONE and Aneelhi Rec, steadily staking ground in Brooklyn's underground. File under: fuel.

Send us a textBrian Antonelli, known throughout corrections as "the fixer," pulls back the curtain on what it takes to restore order in some of America's most challenging prisons. Drawing from 32 years of distinguished service in federal and state corrections, Antonelli shares candid stories about transforming troubled facilities like USP Hazleton, where he arrived shortly after high-profile homicides to implement sweeping reforms.The conversation takes us through Antonelli's remarkable journey from Air Force security forces to becoming a nationally recognized correctional leader. With refreshing honesty, he discusses the realities of prison management – from dealing with gang violence and homicides over trivial debts to the delicate balance of pushing for reform without alienating staff. His experiences activating new facilities, managing high-security inmates, and designing emergency response protocols provide a masterclass in correctional leadership.What sets this episode apart is Antonelli's unique perspective on physical discipline as a foundation for leadership. As both a black belt in Gracie Jiu-Jitsu and a competitive powerlifter, he explains how martial arts training creates officers who make better decisions under pressure: "I think one of the biggest things that jiu-jitsu gives you is the ability to make tough decisions in the worst possible scenarios." This philosophy extends to his management approach, where he advocates empowering staff to develop solutions rather than micromanaging from above.The conversation delves into practical leadership frameworks, including the OODA loop for decision-making and techniques for tactfully influencing superiors when necessary. Antonelli's guiding principle—"You can't have programming without discipline, order, and control"—resonates throughout as he explains his counterinsurgency-inspired "Seize Clear, Build, Hold" model for regaining control of troubled facilities.Connect with Brian on LinkedIn to continue the conversation about corrections leadership, or check out his books for deeper insights into restoring order in challenging correctional environments.Bryan on LinkedIn - linkedin.com/in/bryan-a-9b88b44aBryan Books:Leadership Field Manual For Correctional ProfessionalsSEIZE, CLEAR, BUILD, HOLD: REGAINING CONTROL OF TROUBLED PRISONSAlso, check out Michael's newest book - POWER SKILLS for Correctional Professionals PepperBallFrom crowd control to cell extractions, the PepperBall system is the safe, non-lethal option.OMNIOMNI is cutting-edge software designed to track inmates and assets within your prison or jail.

In The Book of Trump Chapter 14, Ghost welcomes retired Lt. Colonel Oakland McCulloch for a masterclass on maneuver warfare and how its principles apply to today's geopolitical battles. They explore the history and evolution of maneuver warfare from its roots in the Austro-Prussian War to modern applications on the psychological battlefield. Oak breaks down how decentralized command, mission intent, and rapid decision-making cycles, the famed OODA loop, revolutionized military strategy and why Donald Trump has mastered these tactics politically. The conversation spans from tank warfare and battlefield deception to fifth-generation narrative warfare, with insights into how Trump's strategic patience and unpredictability mirror classical military doctrine. They also discuss the economic and political restructuring underway in Africa, the collapse of old-world alliances like NATO, the obsolescence of aircraft carriers, and the revolutionary impact of drone and cyber warfare. This episode is an essential deep dive into understanding the modern battlefield, both kinetic and informational, and why maneuvering faster than the enemy is more critical than ever.

Industrial operations have long depended on the OODA loop—Observe, Orient, Decide, Act—a military-inspired decision framework that works, but at great cost. It requires physical presence, human expertise, and often misses key variables hidden from view. This age-old method is embedded across energy infrastructure—from wells to refineries. The digital age, however, is transforming our ability to observe. With billions of video-capable devices generating colossal amounts of data, and artificial intelligence now capable of interpreting this data in real time, there's a game-changing opportunity at hand. This episode explores the staggering scale and value of video data, and how AI's emerging ability to interpret video feeds on the fly can augment, and in some cases replace, the human eye in the OODA loop. I outline some of the implications for quality inspections, site assembly checks, and future-proofing industrial operations. Additional Tools & Resources

Happy Resurrection Sunday, Shiloh Church! In this power-packed Easter message, we celebrate the cornerstone of our faith — the EMPTY grave and the Risen Savior — and explore a surprising yet powerful spiritual challenge: How fast is your OODA loop? Pastor Bailey unpacks this military decision-making framework (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) and how it applies to our spiritual walk, especially in the face of adversity, spiritual warfare, and everyday leadership. With biblical insight from the lives of Joseph of Arimathea, Nicodemus, Mary Magdalene, and Jesus Himself, this message will encourage you to:  Make bold, informed decisions for Christ  Pre-decide based on God's Word  Be fearless and Spirit-led in your actions Whether you're new to faith or seasoned in the journey, this is not your average Easter sermon. It's a call to live decisively, boldly, and victoriously. HE IS RISEN… indeed!   

Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! In this week's episode we embark on the final phase of our conquest of Sun Tzu's Taoist manual for never losing, The Art of War. In the free side of the show we discuss how terrain influenced the outcome of the Battle of Agincourt and how Roman general Varro would have been spared the vengeance of Hannibal had he abided by Sun Tzu's advice and kept his cool, costing 80,000 of his own troops their lives. Then we take a look at how US fighter pilot John Boyd utilized Sun Tzu's advice about the rapidity of war to construct a highly deadly theory of winning battles called the OODA loop which we explore in depth. In the extended show we begin by discussing how to influence your own troops under different conditions and why Sun Tzu says you should fire everybody when you take office. Finally we discuss the supreme art of lighting the enemy on fire and the proper use of spies which, amazingly, can be sorted into the five elements and used accordingly. Thank you and enjoy the show!

I'm thrilled to share some incredible insights from my latest episode featuring Mark McGrath, the Chief Learning Officer at AGL and a former captain in the United States Marine Corps. This conversation is packed with wisdom on leadership, decision-making, and thriving in complex environments. Here are some key takeaways:

In this episode of the OODAcast, Bob Gourley speaks with Ian Brown, retired Marine Corps officer and author of A New Conception of War, which explores the influence of John Boyd on the Marine Corps and the evolution of maneuver warfare. Ian shares insights from his 20-year career in the Marines, including his experiences as a CH-53 helicopter pilot, forward air controller, and operations officer at the Brute Krulak Center for Innovation and Future Warfare. The conversation dives into the history and adaptability of the Marine Corps, Boyd's impact on military strategy, and how maneuver warfare became central to Marine Corps doctrine. Ian discusses Boyd's unique ability to synthesize knowledge from multiple disciplines, his contributions beyond the well-known OODA loop, and his lasting influence on competitive decision-making across military and business environments. Ian also previews his next book project, which will compile full transcripts of Boyd's recorded presentations, offering a deeper look into his strategic thinking. The discussion touches on leadership, decision-making, and the importance of adapting mental models for success—principles that apply beyond warfare to business, strategy, and national security. Whether you're a military historian, strategist, or business leader, this episode provides valuable insights into the enduring relevance of Boyd's ideas.

What happens in the brain when a stress response is activated ? How does developmental trauma shapes our nervous system and subconscious reactions as adults?   Today, we're answering those questions and diving deeper into how the brain develops through social interactions, why social connection is a survival need, and what happens in the body when we experience connection with other people.   Matt Bush is joining Jennifer and Elisabeth to discuss the impact of trauma on the brain's functioning, and therefore, our relationships, expression, sense of safety, and overall health. They talk about what happens when you're not primed for connection in childhood, how the brain is wired to be part of the social structure in relationships, what part of the brain guides us toward dysregulation and protective outputs, and lots more.   In this episode we delve into the intricate relationships between high ACE (Adverse Childhood Experiences) scores, developmental trauma, and their lifelong impacts on individuals' stress levels and physical health. The conversation highlights the critical role of early childhood experiences, particularly the bond with caregivers, in shaping one's ability to manage stress and form healthy relationships.   We know that connection is crucial to our survival as humans, but for those with complex trauma, even the healthiest relationships can trigger a stress response and lead to maladaptive behaviors. This episode provides a comprehensive look at how stress impacts our relationships and physical health, and highlights the importance of consistent nervous system training to rewire the brain's response to stress and build resilience.   You'll also learn why complex trauma is an attachment would, and most importantly, that change is possible and how you can get started NOW. Tune in for all this and more!   We discuss chronic inflammation and its connection to social threats and shame, noting that these emotional stressors can trigger physical responses.   Talking Points: Impact of high ACE scores and developmental trauma on stress levels and physical outcomes. Influence of early childhood experiences on the HPA axis and long-term stress responses. Role of attachment theory and the impact of caregiver availability. Relationship between social threats, shame, and inflammatory responses. Importance of training the nervous system through neurosomatic integration (NSI) tools. Personal narratives on managing complex PTSD and changing attachment patterns. Exploration of the OODA loop in processing and responding to environmental stimuli. Emphasis on the potential for neuroplasticity and intentional change in nervous system responses.   Learn more about the Neuro-Somatic Intelligence Coaching program and sign up for the next cohort enrolling now! https://www.neurosomaticintelligence.com   Connect with Matt Bush: https://www.nextlevelneuro.com/ matt@nextlevelneuro.com   Get started training your nervous system with our FREE 2-week offer on the Brain Based Membership site: https://www.rewiretrial.com   Connect with us on social media: @trauma.rewired   Join the Trauma Rewired Facebook Group! https://www.facebook.com/groups/761101225132846   FREE 1 Year Supply of Vitamin D + 5 Travel Packs from Athletic Greens when you use my exclusive offer: https://www.drinkag1.com/rewired   This episode was produced by Podcast Boutique https://www.podcastboutique.com   Trauma Rewired podcast  is intended to educate and inform but does not constitute medical, psychological or other professional advice or services.
