Mike Sarraille served 20 years in special operations as a Recon Marine, scout sniper, Navy SEAL, and troop commander in Delta Force. He graduated number one out of three hundred in Marine boot camp, fought in some of the worst firefights of the Iraq War, and broke four world records skydiving across seven continents in under seven days. Then he started a company.   Joe De Sena sits down with Mike to hear why he says building a business with no budget and no guaranteed resources is harder than anything he faced in combat, how he scaled a data center staffing company from fifty employees to five hundred in eighteen months, and what the tier-one military teaches about team performance that most corporate leaders get wrong. Things You Will Learn: Why a Delta Force troop commander says entrepreneurship tested him more than combat, and what specific skills transferred and which did not. The difference between warfighters and warriors, and why combining both creates the leaders people actually follow. Why productive conflict inside a high-performing team is the system itself, not a sign that something is broken. Tools & Frameworks Covered: Shared Hardship Bonding: Psychology shows that teams bonded through shared adversity build trust that cannot be replicated through offsites or team dinners. Find controlled hardship your team can experience together. Iron Sharpens Iron Selection: Always find a group where you are the underperformer. Clear the bar they hold as the standard. Then find the next group above that. Conflict as Operating System: High-performing teams fight over ideas constantly. The mission prevails, not individual egos. If everyone agrees all the time, the team is underperforming.   If this episode moved you, do not just listen. Do something about it. Sign up. Show up. Do the work. Spartan.com. No more excuses.

He graduated number one out of three hundred in Marine boot camp, deployed multiple times to Iraq, and led the Triple Seven Expedition, skydiving across all seven continents in six days, six hours, and six minutes to break four world records. After leaving the military, he built and sold an executive search firm, wrote three books, The Talent War, The Everyday Warrior, and Teams, and now serves as Chief Talent Officer at Overwatch, a data center staffing company he scaled from fifty to five hundred employees in under eighteen months.

A video circulating on social media showing four dogs confronting a seal on a beach has sparked concerns about how people and pet owners should behave around marine wildlife. The dogs appear to be off leash, while the encounter becomes increasingly tense before the owner eventually calls them back. Another man then approaches the seal, which charges at him, prompting him to slap the animal several times before it retreats. The incident highlights both the importance of keeping dogs under control on beaches and the need to give wild animals plenty of space, rather than attempting to touch, move or interact with them. Lisa Starr, media liaison for the Hout Bay Seal Rescue Centre and founder of the Helderberg Ocean Awareness Movement, speaks to Lester Kiewit about the incident and what beachgoers should and should not do when they encounter a seal.

Few musicians have influenced popular music as profoundly as Louie Shelton, yet millions of people know his guitar long before they know his name. In this episode of A Breath of Fresh Air, Louie opens the studio door on one of the greatest periods in recording history.Growing up in Arkansas, Louie discovered the guitar as a young boy, met Elvis Presley while still at junior high school and later became friends with fellow Arkansan Glen Campbell before heading west to Los Angeles with one ambition—to become a top session guitarist. He explains why becoming a studio musician was the ultimate dream and how years of relentless work finally earned him a place among the legendary Wrecking Crew. Louie reveals how one inspired guitar hook changed everything. Asked to come up with something memorable for a new television project called The Monkees, he created the famous opening riff to Last Train to Clarksville, launching a career that would see producers across Los Angeles competing for his talents. He shares extraordinary stories from sessions with The Jackson 5, Motown, Boz Scaggs, Neil Diamond, The Carpenters, Lionel Richie, Marvin Gaye, Diana Ross, Smokey Robinson and dozens more, explaining how many classic recordings were built before the artists even stepped into the studio. You'll hear what made the Motown rhythm section so unique, why Michael Jackson immediately stood out as an 11-year-old vocalist and how session musicians created some of the most recognisable guitar parts in music history. Louie also reflects on working with Elvis Presley, Karen Carpenter, Tiny Tim and countless stars whose careers he watched unfold, while offering thoughtful observations on fame, celebrity and why so many legendary artists struggled with the pressures that accompanied enormous success. The conversation also explores Louie's transition from session guitarist to acclaimed producer, producing Seals & Crofts' Summer Breeze and Diamond Girl, launching England Dan & John Ford Coley, and producing Art Garfunkel's platinum-selling Fate For Breakfast. Finally, Louie reflects on why he believes the music of the '60s and 70s continues to resonate with audiences around the world and explains why, despite an extraordinary career spanning more than six decades, he still picks up the guitar every day. This is a rare opportunity to hear from one of the true architects of popular music—a man whose guitar playing became part of the soundtrack of generations.

Reports say U.S. planners examined a high-risk special operations mission to secure or destroy Iran's enriched uranium using Navy SEALs and Army Rangers. We walks through what that kind of operation would actually require, the human cost calculus, and why this kind of contingency planning matters even if it never executes. No hype. Just the reality of the tip of the spear.

Joy McCann is an environmental and public historian who has worked to understand and share the stories of how the histories of people, places, ideas and the non human world have and do interact to create the cultures, practices and rhythms of life on this planet. Her work and research has taken her across Australia and over the last decade she has explored the oceans, ice, islands and coastlands of the Southern Hemisphere, resulting in her latest book, ‘Heart of Ice; A Journey Into Antarctica's Frozen Realm'.I loved reading the book and speaking with Joy as both helped me realise how little I know about the ice continent, as well as its fascinating history. From the commencement of planetary glaciation around 34 million years ago to the fables and myths humans projected onto the great unknown southern land, to her own trip to the ice as well as the human history of exploration and discovery there. Considering its crucial role in creating and maintaining our planet's homeostasis the threats and perils it faces, and the rapid changes it has already undergone, are alarming to say the least. What happens in Antarctica doesn't stay in Antarctica, and its role in regulating climate and oceanic systems is fundamental for a stable globe.More than the threats and perils though, Joy's work is about understanding how we got to here, and by revealing the secrets of the past - the stories human's have and still do tell ourselves about ecosystems, place, other species and the planet in general - uncover deeply held values, bias, misalignments and emotions. In the Heart of Ice Joy shares myths about hidden monsters and something known as hollow earth theory about how humans accounted for what they didn't know hundreds of years ago, as well as how the economic invectives of the 18th, 19th and 20th century to plunder and massacre millions of whales, seals and penguins are still entirely present today. A history of separating humanity from the natural world holds strong today, and this book tells the stories of how our species perpetuated that on a continent thousands of kilometres away, across the most gruelling and dangerous ocean crossings on the planet, only to end up carving it up for resources and what could be taken from it for profit.Joy's work reveals the depths of our cultures and the strength of story passed on over generations. I hope she inspires you to consider the stories you tell yourself and others. Some extra reading relevant to this episode from our friends at Altiorem. Is the Atlantic Overturning Circulation Approaching a Tipping Point?What We Know About Deep-Sea Mining — and What We Don'tTurning the tide: How to finance a sustainable ocean recoveryCheck out Planet Protein and get 10% off when you sign up.Send me a messageThanks for listening.

Ross Schneiderman spent his career as a reporter and editor. Newsweek, The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, ESPN. He covered mixed martial arts, then ran a foreign desk working alongside Afghan and Pakistani correspondents. In 2016 he wrote a Newsweek cover story about Mohammad Gulab, the Afghan villager who sheltered Marcus Luttrell. He never went to Afghanistan. He never covered a war. He spent six years piecing this one together anyway. For twenty years, Operation Red Wings has been told one way. Lone Survivor turned it into a legend. He FOIA'd the documents. He read the MERC chat, the debriefs, the after-action reports. He interviewed SEALs, Green Berets, and Afghan sources who were there. What he found doesn't match the movie. We go through it in order. The comms that were supposedly never made, and the records that say otherwise. The vote that never happened. The phone call, and who really made it. The stinger missile that wasn't. And why a story meant to honor four men became a recruiting tool built on things that weren't true. This isn't about tearing anyone down. Many men died doing the best they could in a terrible spot and situation. This is about what happens when an institution picks the myth over the truth.

The great Todd Rundgren once sang, "I don't wanna work, I wanna Beatle Banger, all day!" Well, Mr. Motor City (sorry Jack White! Not sorry, Kid C&ck!), the UBP is back with yet another powerful/perhaps controversial edition of UBP Beatle-esque Bangers! These are, well, bangers that the UBP-3 believe share lysergic properties with songs written by the Fab 5, and perhaps, one or three of Tony Sheridan's #BeatBros. Do you like these bangers? Do you prefer post-bangers, e.g. Bangers and AfterMASH? Do you want more questions, like:

A new bill in Congress would dramatically expand the killing of seals and sea lions in Washington waters in the name of salmon recovery. We're joined by Casey McLean, executive director and veterinary nurse at SR3, to examine the history and science behind pinniped culls—and why removing predators from a complex marine ecosystem could have serious unintended consequences. We discuss the lack of current pinniped population data, the many human-caused pressures affecting salmon, the absence of clear monitoring and measures of success in the proposed legislation, and the overlooked dietary needs of the growing Bigg's killer whale population. We also explore where the bill stands and how listeners can make their voices heard.

You've felt it before you could name it. That gut-punch when someone doesn't choose you. That flinch before you hit send. That story you told yourself before you even tried.This week, Jess goes deep into the fourth seal — rejection — and reveals something most people never realize: this wound doesn't live in your mind. It lives in your causal body, the deepest layer of soul-memory that carries who you've been across every lifetime. Which is exactly why one small moment of being overlooked can feel like it's ripping something ancient out of you.Inside this episode:

If you've ever watched something you wanted just... not happen, and felt strangely relieved about it — this episode is going to make uncomfortable sense of that.We're continuing the Seven Sacred Seals series, moving from repression and denial into the third wound: shame. Not enoughness. Comparison. Competition. Hierarchy. The thoughts, held in the mental body, that quietly run underneath almost everything you're trying to build.I walk through why manifestation is actually incredibly precise — you always get what you want. The catch is that "what you want" consciously and what you're unconsciously trying to resolve are rarely the same thing. If shame is running the show, you're not manifesting the win. You're manifesting the loser, because losing is what actually resolves the wound. I use the gambler as the clearest example: playing to win, but only ever finding relief the moment everything is gone.I also get personal — my daughter's confidence before and after nursery school, and years of dancing next to a comparison I never let go of, Sylvie Guillem, and what it did to me to watch myself on tape. And I talk about the "no" — why, for most people, being told no delivers a bigger dopamine hit than getting the yes, and what that says about power, identity, and how much we resist becoming someone new.The antidote to all of it is unconditional love — not for a partner, for yourself, and for the thing you're building because you love it, not because it proves you're enough. That's where real, fast manifestation lives. It's also the exact work we do inside The Vessel — building something from what you actually love, not what makes you look like enough. https://spiritualised-the-vessel.netlify.app/In this episode:The Third Sacred Seal and the wound of shame — not enoughness, comparison, hierarchyWhy shame is held in the mental body, and how that shows up as intrusive, comparing thoughtsThe addiction pattern behind gambling, and what it reveals about identity and "the loser"Why manifestation always works — and why it gives you the inverse of what you consciously wantMy own story: my daughter's confidence before and after starting schoolMy own story: dancing next to Sylvie Guillem, and why I couldn't watch myself on videoWhy the "no" can feel better than the "yes" — the power play and identity protection underneath refusalUnconditional love as the antidote — doing what you love because you love it, not to prove anythingHow this work shows up inside The VesselReady to stop manifesting from the wound? https://spiritualised-the-vessel.netlify.app/

Fly Navarro on the Wildest Tie in Blue Marlin World Cup History and Why Anglers Need to OrganizeThis one is for anyone who fishes here in Washington but hasn't thought much about what it takes, at the policy level, to keep that fishing possible. Fly Navarro has run the only global blue marlin tournament in the world for over a decade, and it just produced the first tie in the event's 41-year history. He also sits on fishery boards back east, and had a lot to say about why our community needs to organize too. This one covers the tournament story, conservation vs. environmentalism, and hard-won lessons on decision-making, faith, and building a trustworthy circle.Episode OverviewGuest Robert "Fly" Navarro is Tournament Director of the Blue Marlin World Cup, the only worldwide blue marlin tournament, now in its 41st year The inside story of the July 4th tournament tie: two boats weighed blue marlin at the exact same 653 pounds Why Fly believes the fishing and hunting community needs to organize the way environmental groups do Conservation vs. environmentalism, and how it connects to seal and sea lion predation on Washington hatchery salmon Life lessons on decision-making, choosing your circle, and taking a leap of faith, from Fly's path from deckhand to running tournaments in Saudi Arabia A direct invite to the Washington Tuna Classic in Westport, benefiting local veterans through Mission OutdoorsKey TakeawaysTwo boats weighed blue marlin at the exact same 653 pounds, the first tie in the Blue Marlin World Cup's 41-year history. The fishing and hunting community needs to organize the way environmental groups do, before laws get passed that are hard to repeal. Conservation means protecting a resource for future generations; environmentalism means keeping people from using it at all. Seals and sea lions, protected since 1972, now eat a significant share of hatchery salmon. The best decisions come after you let the emotion pass, not in the heat of the moment. Who you let into your circle matters more than how big your reach gets. Failure isn't falling short of a goal, it's quitting after you fall.Timestamps 00:00 - Meet Fly Navarro and what this episode covers 00:04 - Fly's "why" behind fishing 00:14 - From $4-an-hour deckhand to running blue marlin boats worldwide 00:21 - Building a social media company and 1,500 free how-to videos 00:23 - How a marina visit in Jeddah led to Saudi Arabia's first fishing tournaments 00:28 - Why Fly and girlfriend Naomi chose the San Juan Islands 00:33 - Why fishermen and hunters need to organize like environmental groups 00:36 - Conservation vs. environmentalism, and the Marine Mammal Protection Act 00:52 - The July 4th tournament tie: two blue marlin, same exact weight 01:24 - Building a trustworthy circle and learning to trust your gut 01:41 - Faith, fatherhood, and what's happened to young men 01:59 - Closing question and the Washington Tuna Classic inviteResources Mentioned Blue Marlin World Cup: https://bluemarlinworldcup.comWashington Tuna Classic (Westport, July 24-25): https://missionoutdoors.org/programs/wtc/The FlyZone Podcast with Fly Navarro: https://open.spotify.com/show/1jqRM7mm0xFWbeqr6XkEzJ Fly's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/flynavarro_/Fly's YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/FlyNavarroAnglers Unlimited Gold: https://anglersunlimited.co/goldAbout the PodcastFishing for a Reason is the Pacific Northwest saltwater fishing education podcast for new anglers and families who want to catch more salmon, halibut, lingcod, shrimp and crab in Washington waters.

Be sure to comment your thoughts on the text that we cover. We would love to hear them all!Is Revelation written chronologically? Will Christians experience the Great Tribulation?

This episode moves into the next of the Seven Sacred Seals: denial — held, Jess explains, in the astral body, where our emotions and felt experience live.Denial works through what Jess calls the projection field: reality operating in reverse, where what we can't see in ourselves gets boomeranged back at us through other people, circumstances, and "why does this keep happening to me" storylines. The way out isn't to exit the projection field completely (that would be enlightenment) — it's to reduce our shadow's grip on it, moving from opinion and judgment into what she calls omniscience, denial's antidote: a farsighted, witness-like state where there's simply nothing left to react to.She connects this directly back to last episode's conversation on ease — because denial is exactly why an easy business, an easy relationship, an easy life gets quietly rejected even when it's handed over on a plate. If it's too smooth, too still, too simple, something in us doesn't trust it.Topics covered:The astral body and the wound of denial — where this Sacred Seal lives, and how it shows up as reactivity, storylines, and victimhoodThe projection field as boomerang — how what we can't see in ourselves gets reflected back through relationships and circumstanceWhy identity resists its own healing — using the pattern of chronic, undiagnosable illness, and a lifetime spent among healing modalities, to show how an "inverse structure" can quietly serve an identity even while appearing to hurt itThe discomfort of real stillness — why perfect, conflict-free moments can feel more unsettling than chaos, and what that says about how the ego uses drama to feel realOmniscience as the antidote — the witness state (with a nod to Michael Singer's The Untethered Soul), and how it differs from ordinary rest or ordinary calmSynchronicity vs. cause-and-effect — a personal story about a pink dress, a haircut, and how the universe delivers what you want by a route your logical mind would never chooseRejecting the answer you were just given — why something offered in perfect simplicity can be completely invisible to a lower state of consciousness, even when it's exactly what was asked forThe Las Vegas analogy — shadow projection as an "arena" that feels alive and fun even while it isn't sovereign, and why leaving it means reconstructing identity from the ground upA preview of shame — the Sacred Seal ahead, and its link to addiction, self-worth, and the gambler who is unconsciously playing to loseThe Seven Sacred Seals seriesThe Untethered Soul by Michael SingerThe previous episode on ease and The VesselKey IdeaDenial doesn't feel like refusal — it feels like reasonable, rational excuses.

This is the first in a six-part series exploring the Seven Sacred Seals — the core wounds carried ancestrally in our DNA that quietly block manifestation. Today's focus: repression, the wound of the physical body.Jess breaks down why karma and unprocessed fear live in the body as tension, and how that contraction shuts down access to the higher subtle bodies, synchronicity, and divine will. She traces the line from chronic stress to burnout to disease, and explains why the antidote isn't relaxation as a nap or a spa day — it's a deep rest from survival itself.The episode moves into the architecture of attachment: why relationships so often form from fear rather than love (the "Hunger Games" of partnership), how energetic cords create expectation and heaviness, and why sovereignty — not codependency — is what actually lets the heart stay open. Jess shares personal stories along the way, including a break-in during her marriage and her 40-day water fast, to illustrate the difference between real fear and the illusion of it.The back half is a walk through the archetypes — warrior, queen, king, lover, magician, saboteur, trickster — and how they govern every threshold you're too afraid to cross. If you've ever said "someday" instead of "yes," this one's for you.In This EpisodeWhat the repression wound actually is, and why it's tied to the physical body and DNAWhy disease is often just unprocessed tension and fear held at a cellular levelThe difference between manufactured bliss states and genuine high vibrationAvoidance as a survival strategy — and why looking at others' suffering (not turning away from it) raises your frequencyThe "Hunger Games" model of relationship: attachment, tallying, and why people stay in relationships they don't even likeEnergetic cords, expectation, and the difference between sovereignty and codependencyThe archetypes — warrior, king, queen, lover, magician, saboteur, trickster — and how they move you across a thresholdWhy nothing worth having ever feels good to reach for, and why courage always precedes conviction, never the other way roundJess's own stories: a home break-in, marriage, and the 40-day water fast that taught her about certaintyComing NextEpisode 2 in the series: Denial — and why it might be the biggest block in the manifestation space.www.goinward.co.uk

In this episode, we examine the July 7, 2026 CENTCOM retaliatory strikes that hit more than 80 Iranian targets—including air defenses, coastal radar, anti-ship missiles, and over 60 IRGC small boats—following attacks on three commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz. Drawing directly from my background as a Navy SEAL, I break down the tactical execution, the likely role of special operations forces in targeting and maritime security, and the strategic context of renewed U.S. measures including the “Guardian of Hormuz” posture and blockade elements. Listeners will walk away with a clear operator-level understanding of escalation control, precision effects in contested waterways, and what these developments signal for future missions in the region.

What if the frustration, uncertainty, waiting, and resistance in your life are not proof that God forgot you, but evidence that He is developing you? In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Nick Surface and Garrett Unclebach challenge Christian men to stop trying to hack their way into purpose and start trusting the process God is using to form them. Garrett compares it to Navy SEAL training: SEALs do not show up to become something they are not. They show up to be trained into what they were already assigned to become. In the same way, God has a plan for your life, and real faith means believing that plan is not just true in general, but true for you.Nick and Garrett unpack what it looks like to let God develop you instead of trying to build your own staircase. Too many men want the promotion, platform, title, opportunity, or breakthrough without becoming the kind of man who can carry it. But God is not just interested in where you are going; He is interested in who you are becoming. Through Scripture, they show that Christian growth requires both God's power and your effort. Faith is not passive. It is taking God at His word, acting accordingly, and making every effort to add goodness, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, affection, and love to your life.This episode gives men three mentalities for the development process: consider it joy, praise God at all times, and play your part. That means learning to see suffering as training, worshiping Jesus for who He is even when life is hard, and caring more about God's mission than your own reputation. This is where masculinity, humility, strength, and faith come together. If you want to live with purpose, stop asking God to bless your plan and start asking what He wants. When a man becomes submitted and determined, strong and humble, powerful and warm, he becomes the kind of man God can trust, develop, and use.Get With NuWave Home Lenders By Clicking HereGet a Free 7 Day Trial On The Tailored Training App By Clicking HereJoin a group of likeminded Impossible Life listeners in our FREE Skool community by clicking here.Get the Purpose Playbook by clicking hereGet the FREE Basic Discipline Training 30 Day Program by clicking hereJoin us in Mindset Mastery by clicking hereLevel up your nutrition with IDLife by clicking hereGET IN TOUCHSocial Media - @theimpossiblelifeEmail - info@theimpossible.life

In this episode, we take you behind the scenes of a historic, grinding 10-month deployment that just wrapped up in our own backyard. The heavily armed Marines and Sailors of the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit (Special Operations Capable) just returned home after spearheading Operation Southern Spear under U.S. Southern Command. We break down the stark reality of how these amphibious forces took the fight directly to heavily armed transnational narco-terrorist networks, guarded our southern approaches, and changed the rules of engagement in the Western Hemisphere.

The Learning Leader Show with Ryan Hawk www.LearningLeader.com Book - The Price of Becoming -- www.LearningLeader.com/Becoming This is brought to you by Insight Global. If you need to hire one person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world has the hustle and grit to deliver. My guest: Andy Stumpf is a retired Navy SEAL who spent 17 years on active duty, including assignments with one of the most elite special operations units in the U.S. military. He's a New York Times bestselling author. His newest book is Drownproof: Eight Life Lessons to Keep Your Head Above Water. Key Learnings "What you allow in your presence is your standard." It doesn't matter what your corporate ethos is. It doesn't matter what's tattooed on the wall behind you. If your actions don't align with your speech, it means nothing. Speech is debatable. Actions have impact. You can control almost nothing in your life, but you can control the boundaries you set and your willingness to maintain them. There's a difference between a SEAL and a team guy. A SEAL is there for the title and the individual journey. A team guy is there for the mission and the team. They wear the same uniform. From the outside, you can't tell them apart. Internally, everyone knows. Andy would rather have a group of team guys than a group of SEALs. Your ability to accomplish unbelievable things is 100% aligned with what group of people you bring into your organization. You'll get fooled in the interview process. People wear masks. That's just how it works. The reps come after. Set up consistent feedback. Bi-annual after-action reviews on performance and how they're showing up as a person. 80/20 the interview. Talk 20%. Make them talk 80%. The more they speak, the harder it is to keep the mask on. Let people go faster, not slower. It's way easier to solve this problem six months in than six years in, when they've already catastrophically impacted the culture. Drown-proofing is not an exercise in being drown-proof. It's an exercise in self-control. You bob up and down in a pool for an hour with your hands tied behind your back and your feet bound. If you panic, you sink. If you stay calm and control your breathing, you can do it indefinitely. The test occurs in the water, but it has almost nothing to do with the water itself. The world is chaotic. That doesn't mean you have to be. When everything around you is going sideways, walk yourself back. What can I actually control? My breathing. My self-talk. My priorities. My next move. The circle of influence vs. the circle of concern. Draw a line down the middle of a legal pad. On the left, write everything you're worried about, working on, occupied by. That column will be huge. On the right, write what you actually have direct control over. You'll only be able to write one thing: yourself. The most effective leadership tool is mentorship. Andy's mentor Dave Hall gave him "just the perfect amount of rope to hang myself, and then maybe he'd help me get it around my neck just a little bit." Dave would let him fall short, then crush him, then sit there and facilitate what he needed to fill the gap. A high standard is a finely sharpened blade. It can cut in both directions. Andy's mentor, Dave Hall, ultimately died by suicide. One reason Andy believes it happened is Dave couldn't hold himself to the same standard anymore, and it destroyed him. Have grace for yourself. Not every goal is worth your life. Focus on post-traumatic growth, not post-traumatic stress. Trauma doesn't have to destroy you. If you take the time and energy to work your way through it, it can turn you into a better version of yourself. Motivation can be outsourced. Discipline cannot. Motivation is like the tide. It comes in and out. Discipline is doing the things you need to do regardless of how you feel. Win the micro-battles, not the war, in one fell swoop. If you try to attack 10 bad habits overnight, you'll fail. Pick one for a week. Build momentum. Stack days. You win the war via the micro-battles. If you don't think of yourself as a leader, you'll never step into a leadership void. You'll tell yourself you're not the person. Not qualified. Not capable. Stop treating leadership like the DMV. You don't show up at the window and challenge the test with no preparation. You crawl, walk, run. You practice. Every interaction is either a micro-deposit or a micro-withdrawal of leadership capital. Sustained high performers master the basics. They make no attempt to be flashy. They make no attempt to gain 50 yards at a time. They'll do one yard 50 times in a row. If they see a real opportunity with managed risk, they'll go big. Otherwise, one yard. Over and over. Andy's champagne moment a year from now: being there with the people he loves. "Would you rather have all the things you think you want in life and enjoy them by yourself? Or be surrounded by people who truly love you for who you are? I'm taking the latter every time." Reflection Questions What are you allowing in your presence right now that contradicts the standard you say you hold? What's the cost of letting it continue? If you drew the line down the legal pad today, what would be in your concern column that shouldn't be? Where is your energy going to things you cannot control?

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Have you gotten mediocre output from AI and blamed the tool? Are you running a marketing team that is still activity-based when the clients who trust you need you to own outcomes? Today's featured guest came up through the Navy, where he learned that calm in chaos comes from frameworks, not confidence. In this episode, Kevin walks through SMAC, the military-derived operating framework he uses with clients, employees, and his own agency. He also gets into the Iron Man model for AI usage, how he cut a two-day research process to eight minutes, and what his Red Lens tool does before any campaign goes out the door. Kevin McGrew is the founder and CEO of Strategos, a demand generation agency based in Southern California. He served in the Navy after high school, where he discovered that elite performance under pressure is a function of drilled frameworks, not natural ability. He went on to found and exit three businesses before launching Strategos, which started as a social media agency at the dawn of Facebook business pages and has since evolved into a full demand generation model. Kevin trains his team and his clients on the SMAC framework and has rebuilt his entire production model around what he calls human-led, AI-amplified operations. In this episode, we'll discuss: Kevin's SMAC Framework for successful campaigns The Iron Man model for human-AI relationships How to get a resistant team to use AI Subscribe Apple | Spotify | iHeart Radio Sponsors and Resources This episode is brought to you by Wix Studio: If you're leveling up your team and your client experience, your site builder should keep up too.

Why Spray and Pray Is Still the Default and What SMAC Replaces It With In his time in the Navy, Kevin was impressed by how cool, calm, and collected the SEALs were when dealing with stressful situations. The reason for this was basically training and frameworks. This is something he applies to every aspect of his life, and it's the tool he uses to train his team on how to build winning campaigns with the SMAC framework, which comes directly from military operation: Shoot: knowing your target with enough specificity that you are not wasting ammo. In marketing terms, that is ICP clarity before any campaign launches, understanding who you are looking for before you spend a dollar trying to reach them. Move: staying agile and not sitting still long enough for the competitive environment to get a clear bead on you. Adapt: this is the data discipline: running campaigns on real signals rather than assumptions, the way combat aircraft are identified friend or foe before anyone pulls a trigger. Communicate: this refers to preparation, having the right message built before you need it rather than scrambling to write copy mid-campaign. The reason most agencies default to activity-based marketing instead of this kind of disciplined execution is the same reason Kevin's early Navy self had no framework for anything: nobody built it for them. Spray and pray is what happens when the target package is unclear and the pressure to produce something is higher than the standard for producing the right thing. SMAC does not require a military background. It requires deciding, before the work starts, that clarity is worth more than speed. The Iron Man Model and What the Suit Cannot Do Without the Operator Kevin uses Iron Man to frame the human-AI relationship. Basically, the suit by itself is junk. Tony Stark is the variable that matters. AI handles research and synthesis, first draft production, and reporting narratives, the parts of the work where speed and information aggregation are the constraints. The human operator stays accountable to the client, owns the strategic direction, and runs everything through a quality check before it goes out. The practical output of this model is striking. A competitive landscape analysis that used to take two and a half days of dedicated people hours now takes eight minutes. Monthly client reports that required two hours of prep are now twenty minutes. That compression is coming from building the right AI infrastructure, training it on your frameworks and your quality standards, and having the discipline to keep humans in the accountability seat. The agencies getting burned by AI right now are the ones treating the first draft as a finished output. The ones building leverage are the ones who figured out what the suit is actually for. The Red Lens: Why You Need a Skeptic Before Anything Ships AI is optimistic about its own output. It produces something impressive-looking and fast, and the human reviewing it gets pulled into the quality of the presentation rather than the quality of the thinking underneath it. This is why Kevin built an internal tool called Red Lens. Red Lens is an agent trained as a skeptic that reviews every campaign output before it launches. It runs Gary Klein's pre-mortem framework: instead of reviewing what went wrong after the fact, it anticipates what is going to fail before money gets spent. The results of running this tool on their own output have been instructive. The tool flags messaging aimed at the wrong stage of the buyer journey, audiences that do not match the campaign brief, and positioning claims that cannot hold up under scrutiny. It catches things the human team missed because they were too close to the work. Every agency that is shipping AI-assisted content without a systematic skeptic layer is doing the equivalent of proofing your own copy. You see what you intended to write, not what you actually wrote. Red Lens is the outside read that makes the inside work trustworthy. Crawl, Walk, Run: How to Get a Resistant Team Actually Using AI How do you get a team that thinks AI is cheating or that it will replace them to actually adopt it? Kevin approached the solution at the operational level. The answer was not a training session or a mandate. It was engineering small, undeniable wins at the individual level before asking anyone to change how they work at the system level. Kevin calls them micro moments of awesomeness: twelve to fifteen small experiences where a team member feels the tool working for them rather than threatening them. Crawl, walk, run is the philosophy underneath it. You do not learn to sprint before you can stand. You master the foundation layer until it becomes the floor, and then you add the next layer on top of that. The agencies that have struggled most with AI adoption inside their teams are the ones that announced the new direction without engineering the experience of what it feels like to win with it. Giving someone a taste of the efficiency before asking them to commit to the change is not soft management. It is how behavioral adoption actually works.

Trump's proposed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the U.S. and Iran is so dreadful that even the network that helped get him elected cannot muster much enthusiasm for it.The producers at Fox & Friends trotted out several experts who said the pending agreement was worse than no deal between the two countries. Brian Kilmeade even snapped an experienced military expert who tried to downplay the agreement's shortcomings.Sean Hannity shifted his focus to criticizing the newly opened Obama Presidential Center rather than try to promote the deeply flawed MoU. The cast of The Five spoke about it in vague terms but spent far more time and effort on what they were called the socialist revolution in the Democratic Party.The only holdout was Jesse Watters; a man so dim he once asked during an episode of The Five if seals could breathe out of water. Seals are covered in fur and have puppy-like faces - two obvious signs of mammalian traits.In the four and a half years I've covered Fox News I have never seen the network abandon Donald J. Trump as they did last week. Normally Fox will simply ignore stories it cannot spin as it did during the Israel-Hamas conflict, the many scandals surrounding the Epstein files, and countless embarrassing gaffes and alarming social media posts made by President Trump.Instead of pretending the MoU didn't exist multiple Fox News hosts and guests openly criticized it. It was shocking to witness as this is incredibly unusual for a network that thanked its viewers for voting for Trump and enthusiastically celebrated his inauguration.Fox News is the Trump administration in many ways as over 20 former Fox News hosts or contributors have government positions in the president's second term. While several former Trump officials, such as Kayleigh McEnany and Kellyanne Conway are now Fox News employees.There is no line between the propaganda network and the president's mind as Trump has been known to change policy soon after a Fox News host suggests it on air. The president has also posted slogans, conspiracy theories and policy ideas on social media minutes after they were broadcast on Fox News.Most of the pushback against Trump's MoU came from the folks on Fox & Friends. The corporate heads at Fox News have the most influence over the popular morning show than any other programming.It seems that the corporate leadership or even the Murdoch family is trying to send the president a message since they know he's a devoted fan of the morning show.Other topics the network spent a lot of airtime covering last week:* The socialist takeover of the Democratic Party* European World Cup attendees falling in love with America* Liberals lack of patriotism* How the FBI foiled a terrorist attack planned for the UFC fight at the White House.There was little talk of the affordability crisis or domestic issues, but Fox did mention that Ukraine managed to strike military targets in Moscow. Fox has gone weeks without including much of anything about the Russian invasion of Ukraine.This week's newsletter is solely dedicated to how the network framed the pending MoU between the United States and Iran. It's so unusual for Fox News to openly criticize the Trump administration that I felt it was far more important to cover this than the usual ‘Democrats are terrible' schtick on the network.

Supercharge Your Performance: The Navy SEAL's Secret Sleep Formula Revealed - Dr. Kirk Parsley : 283 Dr. Kirk Parsley, a former Navy SEAL performance optimization doctor, discusses his journey in discovering the impact of sleep on performance and developing a sleep formula for Navy SEALs. He highlights the disconnect between sleep researchers and clinicians and the lack of understanding about sleep in the medical field.
