Podcasts about sheepdog response

In this week's special episode of The Kevin Roberts Show, we're taking a moment to revisit some of the most thought-provoking conversations we've had with leading voices in the conservative movement. From deep dives into American culture and policy to personal stories of resilience and conviction, this episode features highlights from some of our most iconic guests.Join us as we revisit the sharp wit of Michael Knowles, the profound historical perspectives of Victor Davis Hanson, the leadership of Tulsi Gabbard, and the unwavering patriotism of Tim Kennedy. Each segment offers a unique lens on the challenges facing our nation and the path forward for conservatism in America. Whether you're a long-time listener or new to the show, this episode is packed with insights that are as relevant today as they were when first recorded. Tune in and be inspired by the voices shaping the future of our country.Guests:Michael Knowles is the celebrated host of The Michael Knowles Show at the Daily Wire and The Book Club at PragerU. In 2017, Michael published the #1 national bestselling treatise Reasons to Vote for Democrats, which President Donald Trump hailed as “a great book for your reading enjoyment."Victor Davis Hanson is the Martin and Illie Anderson Senior Fellow in Residence in Classics and Military History at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, a professor of Classics Emeritus at California State University, Fresno, and a nationally syndicated columnist for Tribune Media Services.Tulsi Gabbard was the rising star of the Democrat Party. But the growing wokeness, fomenting racism, and intolerance were more than she could stomach, and she left. A combat veteran, 4-term member of Congress, and 2020 presidential candidate, Tulsi loves her country: “I answered the call to serve and swore an oath, dedicating my life to supporting and defending the Constitution, both in uniform and in public office. I have always been an independent-minded person but became a Democrat when I first ran for office because I saw a party that stood up for the little guy, free speech and civil liberties. That party is no more.”Tim Kennedy, Green Beret Sniper, author, UFC Fighter & Entrepreneur has a rapidly growing audience with millions of followers on his personal Instagram and over 10 million followers through the many outlets of his parent company Tim Kennedy Operations and Sheepdog Response.

I'm not talking about that fake alpha facade you may be familiar with on reality tv shows. I'm talking about the real alpha stuff. The alpha with substance. The one that doesn't have to be the loudest in the room because they know who they are. They know what they're capable of. And whether everyone else recognizes it consciously or not, the alpha is who is in charge when everyone else has no idea what to do. You don't get there by acting confident. You get there by being competent. Will you be the alpha in every situation? I hope not. That would mean you're not surrounding yourself with people who are better than you at what you want to get better at. The path to alpha is filled with humility. A true alpha can put down his need to be right and look good, in order to gain the competence. It's a long game. Can you look dumb now, so you can be in charge later? Most people have no interest in this. The path is too frightening and they'll continue to live a life of mediocrity. Join Mike Salemi and myself on today's show as we discuss leadership, hierarchy, violence and the functional purpose of being prepared.

Acton Academy has a term that they use to identify the true leaders among the group, the ones who are making big things happen, and are actively supporting fellow students' success- we call them sheepdogs. When we had the idea for Apogee, before it had its name, we wanted this new program to specifically cultivate sheepdogs, not just men who follow the herd, but men who go above and beyond to be the ultimate gentleman, the ultimate savages, and ultimate leaders who are making waves in today's culture. And who better to team up with to accomplish this massive mission than the founder of Sheepdog Response himself? Today's guest is Tim Kennedy, a Green Beret, Special Forces Sniper, former top 5 UFC Middleweight, and now, co-founder of Apogee Strong and founder of an Acton Academy in Austin, Texas. We cover the Essential 11 questions while getting into just how important resilience is and being able to display an ongoing track-record of resilience to create bigger opportunities for yourself.

“A Fight is a Fight, it doesn't matter what tools you have, all that matters is how efficient your chassis is.” – Tim KennedyMy guest this episode is Tim Kennedy, a Special Forces Sniper, a Range Qualified Green Beret, a former UFC & Strike Force Fighter, and the President of Sheep Dog Response.  He is one of the few fighters to simultaneously serve in the United States Army while also fighting professionally and is the recipient of the Army's Bronze Star Medal.  Mr. Kennedy is the founder of the Acton Academy, which is a K-12 Charter school.  He is also active as a television host, producer, and entrepreneur.This episode is filled with leadership, mindset, and fighting wisdom from Tim Kennedy's first-hand experience in life and death situations and his experience competing in Mixed Martial Arts.  My Key takeaway is that “Awareness, Assessment, Action, and Analysis” are essential skills to success on the battlefield, in the boardroom, and in the cage.  In this episode we talk about how important it is to build a physical and mental chassis that can adapt and change in chaos.  We dive deep into dealing with Fear and understanding the value of time.  Time is all we have, it is constantly running out, and we can never get it back.  So live a life with intention, discipline, and focus so that we can be ready to serve and protect when called upon.

Tim Kennedy is a man's man. He is an Army Green Beret turned former top 5 Middleweight UFC Fighter, and the founder of Sheepdog Response where he helps people develop the skills to successfully respond to threats.  Today's episode is a true testament of what happens when you do tough things.

In today's show, we interview special guest Tim Kennedy on finding the quitter. Tim needs little introduction. He is a Master Sergeant with the US Army Green Berets and a Special Forces sniper with multiple combat deployments throughout the middle east. He is a former professional mixed martial arts fighter and a two-time title challenger. He has been featured on numerous TV shows including HISTORY Channel's show, “Hunting Hitler,” as well as the Discovery Channel's series, “Hard to Kill.” Tim joins us this episode to talk about doing hard things, rejecting comfort, and mental fortitude. Appreciative of the plight of home service professionals, Tim speaks into the preparation that he used to handle difficult highs and lows in a day.

Dayna Monroe recently completed her first course with Sheepdog Response.  She joins the podcast to detail her experience.   Sheepdog Response Sheepdog Response was founded by Green Beret, Special Forces, Sniper, and former top 5 UFC Middleweight, Tim Kennedy. Tim was also the co-star of Hunting Hitler on the History Channel, and more recently, Hard To Kill, on the Discovery Channel. People face threats of violence every day, ranging from large-scale terrorism to one-on-one assaults. Most people are unprepared, unequipped, and untrained to respond effectively. This weakness in the flock allows the wolves to attack with great ease and success. The answer is not more laws. The wolves don't follow them. We must give the good guys the tools they need to effectively respond to violence. The more Sheepdogs we can train to be truly ready to respond to a mass shooting, terrorist attack, violent mugging or home invasion, the better the chances are that the bad guys will get what they deserve and the good guys will survive. Most people sign up for martial arts or weapons training expecting to learn realistic self-defense, and few get it… We have developed a curriculum that addresses the skills you need to successfully respond to threats.

BenGreenfieldFitness.com/timkennedy My wife and I recently immersed ourselves in a three-day close quarter combat and firearm and personal defense training course called "Sheepdog-Response". We experienced hours upon hours of grappling, close quarter combat, situational awareness, firearm training and much more. We were feeling a bit sore and beat up at the end, but definitely more prepared for any “curveballs” life may throw at us. I think these types of skills, along with skills such as wilderness survival, plant foraging, hunting, etc. are really good ways to ensure that one is prepared for life in general. I was so impressed with the course, that I decided to get the founder of Sheepdog, Tim Kennedy, on the podcast to talk about it, and much, much more. If you haven't heard of Tim, then you definitely need to know about this guy. Tim is a retired American mixed martial artist and current soldier. A fighting professional from 2001 until 2016, he has fought in the UFC, Strikeforce, the WEC, ShoMMA, HDNet Fights, and represented the Chicago Red Bears in the IFL. Kennedy is one of the few fighters to simultaneously serve in the United States Army while also fighting professionally. He also is a television host, producer, and entrepreneur. Tim completed Basic Combat Training, Advanced Individual Training, Airborne School, Special Forces Assessment and Selection and the Special Forces Qualification Course. In 2007, he completed Ranger School and was assigned to the 7th Special Forces Group, where he served on an Operational Detachments Alpha. During this time he was also a sniper, sniper instructor, and the principal combatives instructor for C Company, 3rd Battalion, 7th Special Forces Group. Kennedy deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom multiple times. In August 2009, Kennedy transitioned from active duty to the Texas Army National Guard's 19th Special Forces Group and served in the position of Special Forces Weapons Sergeant. Among Kennedy's multiple awards are the Army's Bronze Star Medal with V device, which was awarded for valor under fire. He is now an active, Ranger qualified, Green Beret, Special Forces Sniper with tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as other locations around the globe. He was host of the History Channel television series Hunting Hitler which explores alternative theories about Adolf Hitler's death.

Acton Academy has a term that they use to identify the true leaders among the group, the ones who are making big things happen, and are actively supporting fellow students' success- we call them sheepdogs. When we had the idea for Apogee, before it had its name, we wanted this new program to specifically cultivate sheepdogs, not just men who follow the herd, but men who go above and beyond to be the ultimate gentleman, the ultimate savages, and ultimate leaders who are making waves in today's culture. And who better to team up with to accomplish this massive mission than the founder of Sheepdog Response himself? Today's guest is Tim Kennedy, a Green Beret, Special Forces Sniper, former top 5 UFC Middleweight, and now, co-founder of Apogee Strong and founder of an Acton Academy in Austin, Texas. We cover the Essential 11 questions while getting into just how important resilience is and being able to display an ongoing track-record of resilience to create bigger opportunities for yourself. Other things covered include: Tim opening his own Acton Academy Building leaders with strong characters is better for society than creating kids who get good grades Tim's divinely created panel of mentors The need for parents need to stop metaphorically wrapping their children in bubble wrap The true value of delayed gratification Polished resumes are out, experience is in "Smarter not harder" is absolutely false More places you can find Tim: Instagram - @TimKennedyMMA Facebook - @TimKennedyMMA YouTube - Sheepdog Response
