In This Episode You Will Hear: • I don't think I could beat Marcus at arm wrestling if I can't pick up a bowling ball. (1:58) • You do realize there's a thing called old man strength? (5:53) • [Rob O'Neil] I have a podcast as well, called “The Operator.” We're called The Operator because if you're doing anything, you're an operator. (6:18) • Having a big man to kick your ass and teach you wind a bobbin; you realize there is skill here. (9:59) • When people quit BUDS, it's not because “this is hard”. [It's because] I'm tired of the broken foot.; I'm tired of the shin splints; I'm tired of my dislocated shoulder; I'm tired. (21:20) • In BUDS, one of the biggest problems is eating too much. Like I want 5 cheeseburgers, but we have a 4-mile run afterwards. (26:35) • [Rob] and for everyone that doesn't know, can you explain what a SDV is? (39:20) [Marcus] Imagine a mini submarine and shrink it down. The difference is that a submarine is dry inside, and the SDV is completely full of water. (39:23) • Listen to Marcus discuss the details of being in an SDV for 8 hours. Talk about ultimate torture - If you have a deep freeze in your garage, fill that sucker full of water, crawl in there and sit down for 8 hours. (40:32) • The first time I got in there, I was terrified. (45:29) • [Marcus] There's stuff that happens to us out there. Sometimes safety gets in the way of it. (58:49) • [After falling down the mountain during Operation Red Wings] I could hear that stream running. I've got to get me water, but I kept thinking I can't drink out of it, because my buddies are in it. (81:07) • If you want to make God laugh, tell Him what your plan is. (92:04) • [Marcus] Bro, when you saw that son of a bitch's face [Osama Bin Laden], what was the first thing you saw? [Rob O'Neal] I saw his nose. He was skinny, wearing white – tall. (95:22 ) • My nickname was “Nisro” (Navy SEAL Rob O'Neal). When they asked “Who got him?” They go “Nisro,” and they said “Fuck! We're never gonna hear the end of it.” (97:30) Support Robert:   - IG: mchooyah - Host of The Operator Podcast Support TNQ   - IG: team_neverquit , marcusluttrell , melanieluttrell , huntero13   -  https://www.patreon.com/teamneverquit Sponsors:   - dripdrop.com/TNQ    -  cargurus.com/TNQ    - armslist.com/TNQ   - partnersinbuilding.com - Navyfederal.org        -    - You can find Cremo's new line of antiperspirants and deodorants at Target or Target.com    - WARFARE IN THEATERS APRIL 11th Watch Trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JER0Fkyy3tw First Look Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3DWuqiAUKg&t=3s    -   - PXGapparel.com/TNQ   - bruntworkwear.com/TNQ    - Selectquote.com/TNQ    - Groundnews.com/TNQ    - You can find Cremo's new line of antiperspirants and deodorants at Target or Target.com    - shipsticks.com/TNQ    - Robinhood.com/gold    - strawberry.me/TNQ    - stopboxusa.com {TNQ}    - ghostbed.com/TNQ [TNQ]   -  kalshi.com/TNQ   -  joinbilt.com/TNQ    - Tonal.com [TNQ]   - greenlight.com/TNQ   - PDSDebt.com/TNQ   - drinkAG1.com/TNQ   - Shadyrays.com [TNQ]   - qualialife.com/TNQ [TNQ]   - Hims.com/TNQ   - Shopify.com/TNQ   - Aura.com/TNQ   - Policygenius.com   - TAKELEAN.com [TNQ]   - usejoymode.com [TNQ]

P.M. Edition for July 29. The merger deal between Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern would create a single company controlling coast-to-coast rail shipments for the first time in U.S. history. WSJ reporter Esther Fung discusses why the deal isn't totally done yet, and why it's taken this long to get a coast-to-coast rail operator. Plus, JPMorgan Chase is nearing a deal to take over Apple's credit-card program. We hear from WSJ banking reporter AnnaMaria Andriotis about why the deal would be significant. And as tech companies build more electricity-hungry data centers to power artificial intelligence, utilities want the companies to pay more. Journal reporter Katherine Blunt describes how the dynamic is playing out across the U.S. Alex Ossola hosts. Sign up for the WSJ's free What's News newsletter. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this critical episode of Generation AI, hosts Ardis Kadiu and JC Bonilla examine how AI agents and new consumer behaviors are creating a "great content collapse" that threatens traditional digital marketing. They discuss the launch of Grok 4's multi-agent reasoning system and ChatGPT Agent's integration of deep research with browser automation. The conversation reveals shocking statistics: 70% of Google searches now end without clicks, ChatGPT has a 1500:1 page scraping to traffic ratio, and 61% of Americans use AI as their primary information source. The hosts provide concrete strategies for higher education marketers to adapt, including optimizing for AI citations instead of clicks, implementing comprehensive schema markup, and creating question-based content architecture.

Are you the biggest bottleneck in your business—and don't even realize it? You didn't build your company to babysit it. But if you're still the one making every call, solving every fire, and holding the reins so tightly no one else can lead...this episode is your wake-up call. In this second installment of the special mini-series on the seven essential transitions every successful woman must navigate when she knows it's time for something new, Kris explores what it really means to step into the advisory consultant role for the very business you created and the team you built. If you've ever felt the urge to evolve beyond the business you built, this is your roadmap—and your invitation. It's not just about delegation. It's about identity. Because learning to release control doesn't start with your team—it starts with you. Letting go of being the person who approves every decision, solves every problem, or catches every dropped ball requires more than systems—it requires a shift in who you believe yourself to be. Kris walks through why founders get stuck in a cycle of over-functioning, how perfectionism masks fear, and why holding the metaphorical bat too tightly means no one else will dare take a swing. Here's what we explore: The difference between being essential and being in the way Why your team may be relying on you more than they need to What mentorship and true leadership actually look like How to grow your business by getting out of the weeds What really happens—emotionally and practically—when you loosen your grip This episode calls you forward—not to abandon your company, but to evolve into a different kind of leader: one who guides instead of manages, who advises instead of reacts, and who trusts her team to rise.

Host Jeremy C. Park talks with Brink Fidler, Founder and President of Defend Systems, along with Tom Herring, Operator of Herring Technology, who both highlight the importance of taking proactive measures with comprehensive security solutions, including training, consulting, and technical support and equipment to save lives and protect people and property.During the interview, Brink shares his extensive background in law enforcement, particularly in narcotics and tactical operations, which informed the development of Defense Systems' training curriculum focused on active shooter response and rapid medical intervention. The company offers various training programs, including active shooter drills, law enforcement training, and medical courses for both professionals and civilians, emphasizing the goal of equipping individuals with the skills to protect themselves during emergencies.Tom explains how his company, Herring Technology, evolved from a data cabling business to offering a holistic approach to security systems, partnering with Defense Systems and conducting comprehensive assessments to then provide the technology and service needed to protect an organization and its people and property. Herring Technology focuses on proactive measures, including training and proper use of technology, to prevent security incidents rather than just reacting to them.Brink emphasizes the critical importance of training staff to respond effectively during emergencies, highlighting that over 80% of school attacks involve current or former students/staff, and proper training could significantly reduce casualties. Brink explains that their training program, which lasts 4.5 hours including a lunch break, is customizable and includes a walkthrough of the facility to identify potential issues. He also notes that the training provides valuable life skills, such as medical pre-hospital trauma care, which participants have used outside of work, including in car crashes.Tom discusses leveraging technology, including AI, to enhance security measures proactively. He emphasizes the importance of creating a deterrent environment without making buildings look like prisons and highlighted the use of AI for perimeter security and virtual guard systems. He also discusses testing new security technologies to ensure effectiveness, stating their company's commitment to finding reliable solutions regardless of brand.Brink emphasizes the importance of identifying multiple exits in public places and pre-planning escape routes during emergencies. Tom highlights the need to utilize security equipment effectively, integrating it into daily routines for better monitoring and proactive management.

OpenAI heeft de Agent-modus voor ChatGPT gelanceerd voor betalende gebruikers. De chatbot kan daardoor ook een virtuele computer bedienen en bijvoorbeeld je agenda voor je checken of een powerpoint-presentatie opstellen. De dienst combineert eerdere functies, zoals Operator en Deep Research, om meer taken voor elkaar te krijgnen. Met Operator kon voorheen al een virtuele browser bestuurd worden, nu is dat een hele computer geworden. Volgens OpenAI is de Agent-functie nu nog wat rudimentair, maar moet deze de komende maanden verder verfijnd worden. Voor betalende Plus gebruikers van ChatGPT kan de dienst gelimiteerd gebruikt worden, Pro-gebruikers hebben oneindig toegang. OpenAI is niet de eerste AI-ontwikkelaar die deze functie aanbiedt, maar lijkt hiermee wel weer aan te sluiten bij koppositie.
