Kelly highlights the evolution of medical practices within Special Forces, particularly the adoption of methods from the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to improve patient outcomes in combat situations.Kelly elaborates on the specific surgical techniques taught to Special Forces medics, including wound excision, closure, and amputation, all tailored to the limited resources available in the field. He contrasts these practices with conventional medical approaches, underscoring the necessity for adaptability and efficiency in high-pressure environments. The episode concludes with a call for healthcare providers to better understand the realities of austere medicine, enabling them to support Special Forces medics more effectively.Understanding austere medicine is crucial for effective healthcare delivery.The ICRC's methods have significantly influenced Special Forces medical training.Infection rates can be drastically reduced with proper wound management.Chapters05:30 Adopting ICRC Methods10:39 Challenges in Austere Environments16:46 Conclusion and Key TakeawaysFor more content go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.prolongedfieldcare.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Consider supporting us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/ProlongedFieldCareCollective⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.lobocoffeeco.com/product-page/prolonged-field-care

In this Wednesday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan explains the fast-moving crisis over Greenland, why European military moves triggered President Trump's tariff threats, and how the fallout is already hitting markets and mortgage rates. He then turns to two strategically vital islands, Greenland and Diego Garcia, outlining why U.S. control of both matters for missile defense, China containment, and future war planning. Bryan argues Britain's deal to hand Diego Garcia to Mauritius is dangerously naive and urges Washington to act before Beijing exploits the opening. Back in the Americas, U.S. forces seize a seventh ghost-fleet oil tanker tied to Iran, Russia, and China, while Mexico quietly extradites 37 cartel leaders, handing U.S. intelligence a major win that could reshape cartel operations this year. Domestically, Bryan covers escalating clashes between Democrats and ICE in Minnesota, the DOJ investigation into state leaders after activists stormed a Christian church, and growing evidence of coordinated efforts to shield criminal illegal aliens from deportation. He closes with economic good news from Davos, where global bankers praise the strength of the U.S. economy under President Trump, and warns listeners to prepare for a severe winter storm sweeping from Texas to the Carolinas.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: January 21 2026 Wright Report, Greenland military escalation tariffs Europe, Denmark NATO Arctic dispute, Diego Garcia Chagos Island China risk, ghost fleet oil tanker seizure Caribbean, Mexico extradites cartel leaders intelligence win, Minnesota ICE church attack DOJ probe, Keith Ellison Don Lemon investigation, Davos bankers praise U.S. economy, winter storm Texas Carolinas

Jeremy Baughn is back! Jeremy - a former Special Forces operator who, interestingly enough, served a deployment with Tim Kennedy. We address claims made in Tim Kennedy's book and call out some of the alleged lies. Real talk from someone who was there. Beyond deployments, Jeremy shares more (check out our other three episodes with Jeremy) about some of his incredible personal journeys - including walking the Appalachian Trail from start to finish, a six-month mental and physical, grind. We also dive into the work he does today with veterans, taking them hunting as a form of healing and purpose. One of the most powerful moments of the episode comes from a recent Whitetail hunt with a disabled veteran who had lost three of his limbs – and still found success in the hunt. This episode isn't all about calling out members from the SOF communities– it's about brotherhood, resilience, accountability, and what service looks like after the uniform comes off.

You don't rise to your potential—you recover to it. Sleep isn't a luxury. It's a skill. On this episode of WINNERS FIND A WAY, Trent M. Clark sits down with Mollie Eastman, founder of Sleep Is a Skill and host of one of the top sleep podcasts in the world, to tackle one of the most overlooked performance levers in leadership, entrepreneurship, and elite athletics: sleep and recovery. From HRV and wearables to circadian rhythm, wake-ups at 3am, sleep anxiety, and data overload, this is a masterclass in how top performers actually win—by mastering the downshift. This conversation isn't theory. It's practical, real-world, and immediately actionable. About the Guest Mollie Eastman is a leading voice in sleep optimization, founder of SleepIsASkill.com, and creator of the Sleep Obsessions newsletter.

In this episode of the Awake & Winning Podcast, Kaylor Betts sits down with Tim Kennedy for a raw, high-voltage conversation about power, propaganda, personal sovereignty, and what it actually means to lead when the heat gets turned up. Tim—entrepreneur, former Special Forces operator, and founder behind Apogee Strong—breaks down who "they" really are, why transparency matters more than institutions, and how fear-based narratives hijack nations. They go deep on COVID-era coercion, media manipulation, and why awareness without action creates "over-awake, under-achievers." Tim also shares how he prioritizes God, family, and mission, and what discipline looks like when you're being publicly attacked. This one is a call-out and a call-up: stop doom-scrolling, start building strength—inside your home, your body, and your community.     Episode Highlights: government transparency, "who are they" elites, decentralized power networks, USAID corruption claims, media fear campaigns, DOGE-style audits, COVID coercion and compliance, vaccine shedding discussion, personal sovereignty skills, family-first leadership, handling public criticism, discipline as masculinity       Takeaways: Transparency is the fastest path to rebuilding public trust Awareness without action turns into paralysis Real sovereignty looks like skills, health, and preparedness Family leadership comes before politics and platforms Discipline beats motivation every time Criticism is often the cost of doing meaningful work Build your circle: know who's with you in the trenches     If this episode lit a fire under you, don't keep it to yourself.

Logan Harris is CEO, President, and Founder of Spotter Global—a company specializing in compact radar and drone detection technologies. Spotter Global imagines, designs, manufactures, and coordinates the software development of compact surveillance radars, Remote Drone ID, NetworkedIO command and control, and its Integrated Management Center. The company was originally founded to meet the needs of U.S. Special Forces, who required a very small, wide-area radar to protect small units conducting Village Stability Operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. From that need, the first Compact Surveillance Radar—the M600—was developed to protect warfighters operating in austere environments. In 2013, the attack on the Metcalf substation in California highlighted the need to detect threats far beyond the fence line. In response, Spotter introduced its first Compact Security Radar, the C40. Since then, the company has expanded its commercial off-the-shelf offerings to include 17 radar models covering areas from one acre to more than 380 acres, serving markets well beyond critical infrastructure—and far beyond North America. Logan is widely recognized as the inventor of the compact surveillance radar category. With deep expertise in RF engineering and digital signal processing, he launched SpotterRF in 2009 to help prevent harm to critical infrastructure and protect warfighters. Previously, Logan served as CTO at Wavetronix and as CTO and co-founder of ImSAR, the creator of NanoSAR. His engineering background also includes roles at IBM, TRW, Sensar Larson Davis, and Vantage. Logan holds both Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Electrical Engineering from Brigham Young University. Known for his innovation and leadership, he has positioned Spotter Global as a trusted radar provider across government and commercial sectors. In this episode of the Drone Radio Show, Logan talks about the growing reality of drone threats, how Spotter Global is using advanced detection and Remote ID technology to protect critical infrastructure and large public events, and what the future of airspace security looks like as agencies, regulations, and technologies continue to evolve.

In this Special War Brief edition of The Wright Report, Bryan delivers an exclusive breakdown of the stunning U.S. operation that captured Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro, examines the legal and strategic fallout of the mission, and warns that while the snatch was flawless, what comes next may be far more dangerous. Operation Absolute Resolve Captures Maduro: U.S. Special Forces and the CIA executed a high-risk overnight raid in Caracas, capturing Nicolás Maduro and his wife from a fortified military base and flying them to New York to face federal drug trafficking charges. The operation involved more than 150 U.S. aircraft, cyber tools that disabled air defenses and electricity, and months of CIA recruitment inside Maduro's inner circle. One U.S. helicopter took fire and one soldier was lightly injured, but the mission succeeded without American fatalities. Legal Gray Zone and Regime Change Risks: Bryan explains the central legal question now facing the Trump administration. If the operation is treated strictly as a law enforcement action, it likely falls within presidential authority. But Trump's own comments about controlling Venezuelan oil, gold, and governance blur that line and raise questions about whether this was de facto regime change, which could require congressional approval. The uncertainty is already complicating Maduro's prosecution and U.S. credibility abroad. Who Runs Venezuela Now: Despite Maduro's removal, his vice president Delcy Rodríguez remains in power and is openly defying Washington, claiming Maduro is still the legitimate leader. Bryan warns that the United States may be attempting a "puppet strategy" rather than a clean transition, relying on hardline Marxists who still control militias, gangs, and narco networks like Tren de Aragua. This creates a volatile mix of criminal, ideological, and guerrilla threats inside a country larger than Texas. Global Shockwaves and Warnings: China reacted with fury and signaled that America's action could justify similar operations against Taiwan. Democrats condemned the raid as unlawful despite years of calling for Maduro's removal. Trump and Secretary Rubio warned that Cuba, Colombia, Mexico, and even Greenland should take note. Bryan cautions that while the operation showcased American intelligence and military excellence, it also exposed U.S. vulnerabilities to retaliation through minerals, sabotage networks, and proxy violence at home. Best Case vs. Worst Case: Best case, the U.S. secures energy access, stabilizes Venezuela, and sends millions of migrants home. Worst case, Venezuela descends into chaos, guerrilla warfare erupts, Tren de Aragua launches attacks inside the United States, and China or Russia escalate through economic or covert retaliation. Bryan concludes that capturing Maduro may prove to be the easiest part of a long and dangerous chapter now unfolding.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Operation Absolute Resolve Maduro capture, CIA Special Forces Caracas raid, Maduro drug trafficking SDNY, Trump Venezuela oil gold control, Delcy Rodríguez power struggle, Tren de Aragua retaliation risk, China Taiwan snatch precedent, Cuba Colombia Mexico warnings, regime change legal authority, Venezuela best case worst case scenario

This Day in Legal History: Federal Court Strikes Down “Balanced Treatment” Law in ArkansasOn January 5, 1982, a federal district court in Arkansas issued a landmark ruling in McLean v. Arkansas Board of Education, striking down a state law that required public schools to give “balanced treatment” to both evolution and creation science. The law, known as Act 590, had been passed in 1981 and mandated that schools teach creationism—defined in the statute as a scientific model based on a literal interpretation of the Bible—alongside evolution. The law was immediately challenged by a coalition of clergy, educators, and scientists who argued that it violated the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.Judge William Overton ruled that Act 590 was unconstitutional because it advanced a particular religious viewpoint under the guise of science. In his decision, Overton provided a clear and influential definition of what constitutes science, stating that scientific theories must be guided by natural law, testable, and subject to falsification. He found that “creation science” failed all of these criteria and was therefore religious in nature, not scientific. The court also concluded that requiring its teaching in public schools constituted state endorsement of religion.The ruling marked one of the first major judicial rejections of efforts to include religious doctrine in public school science curricula following the U.S. Supreme Court's earlier decision in Epperson v. Arkansas (1968), which struck down laws banning the teaching of evolution altogether. McLean v. Arkansas would go on to shape the legal and educational landscape in future church-state separation cases, including the pivotal 1987 Supreme Court decision Edwards v. Aguillard, which similarly invalidated a Louisiana law promoting creationism in schools.Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro appeared in a New York court after a surprise U.S. military operation captured him in Caracas. The high-stakes raid, likened to the 1989 Panama invasion, involved U.S. Special Forces breaching Maduro's security and flying him to Manhattan, where he faces drug trafficking and narco-terrorism charges. His wife, Cilia Flores, was also captured. Maduro is accused of running a cocaine network in collaboration with major criminal groups like Mexico's Sinaloa cartel and Colombia's FARC.The capture sparked international outrage. Russia, China, Cuba, and other allies condemned the raid, while U.S. allies cautiously emphasized legality and diplomacy. The U.N. Security Council is set to review the operation's legality. Meanwhile, Venezuela's acting president, Delcy Rodríguez, shifted from initial outrage to signaling willingness for cooperation with the U.S., a notable pivot considering her past as a fiery Chavista loyalist.President Trump justified the move as a counter to drug smuggling, illegal immigration, and the past nationalization of U.S. oil assets. He also made clear his aim to reopen Venezuela's oil sector to U.S. companies. However, he has sidelined Venezuela's opposition leaders, disappointing figures like María Corina Machado. Despite Maduro's removal, his political allies remain in power, and the military's loyalty appears unchanged. Venezuelans at home are wary, bracing for possible unrest.Venezuela's Maduro due in court, loyalists send message to Trump | ReutersTrump's efforts to further reshape the federal judiciary in 2026 are facing a slowdown due to a shortage of vacancies. After returning to office in 2025, Trump secured the confirmation of 26 judicial nominees—more than in the first year of his initial term. However, only 30 new judicial seats have opened since then, compared to the 108 vacancies available when he first took office in 2017. This is largely due to aggressive judicial appointments by both Trump and former President Biden over the past decade, which filled many potential retirements with younger judges.Some judges eligible for senior status—a form of semi-retirement—have opted to remain active. Experts suggest this could be due to either personal preference or distrust among conservative judges about Trump's choices for replacements. The appellate court nominations have particularly slowed, with only three judges announcing retirements in 2025. Still, Trump managed to flip the balance of the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals and strengthen conservative influence in district courts across states like Missouri, Florida, and Mississippi.Despite the low number of available seats—currently 49—Trump still has opportunities to make appointments, especially in Republican-led states. However, 13 of those vacancies are in states with at least one Democratic senator, triggering the “blue slip” custom, which allows senators to block judicial nominees from their states. While this tradition doesn't apply to appellate courts, it still limits district court nominations. Senate Republicans remain divided on whether to uphold the blue slip norm.Trump's ability to further reshape judiciary in 2026 hindered by few vacancies | ReutersIn 2026, U.S. law schools are facing a mix of rising interest in legal education and mounting regulatory and financial pressures. A major shift comes from President Trump's 2025 budget, which capped federal loans for professional degrees at $50,000 annually and $200,000 total. With many law schools charging over $50,000 per year (excluding living costs), incoming students may need to seek private loans, which often come with higher interest rates and stricter credit requirements. In response, some schools—like Santa Clara University—are offering across-the-board scholarships to help bridge the gap.Law school accreditation is also in flux. The American Bar Association (ABA), traditionally the primary accreditor, is facing political attacks over its diversity standards and regulatory burden. Texas is planning to develop its own law school approval system for bar eligibility, and other states like Florida and Ohio are exploring similar options. The ABA is now working to streamline its standards amid this pressure.July 2026 will also see the debut of the “NextGen UBE,” a shorter, skills-focused national bar exam that replaces some memorization with practical assessment. Some states, however, are opting out or creating their own licensing alternatives.Meanwhile, artificial intelligence is gaining traction in legal education. A growing number of law schools are integrating AI training into their curricula, and platforms like Harvey are being adopted by faculty and students alike.Despite the looming challenges, interest in law school remains strong. Applicant numbers rose 20% over the previous year, building on an 18% increase in 2024, and first-year enrollment is also trending upward.US law schools face loan limits, oversight pressures in 2026 | ReutersU.S. courts are poised to play a decisive role in shaping how copyright law applies to generative AI this year, as lawsuits from major publishers, creators, and tech companies come to a head. At issue is whether AI developers like OpenAI, Google, Meta, and others can invoke the legal doctrine of fair use when training models on copyrighted materials, or whether they must pay license fees—potentially amounting to billions.The legal landscape shifted dramatically in 2025. A class action by authors against Anthropic resulted in a $1.5 billion settlement, the largest of its kind, while The New York Times, Disney, and other major rights holders filed fresh lawsuits. Judges began issuing preliminary rulings on whether AI training qualifies as transformative fair use, with conflicting outcomes. One judge called AI training “quintessentially transformative,” supporting tech companies' claims, while another warned that generative AI could harm creators by saturating the market with competing content.Several high-profile cases remain active in 2026, including those involving AI-generated music and visual art. Meanwhile, some copyright holders are choosing collaboration over litigation. Disney, for example, invested $1 billion in OpenAI and granted use of its characters, while Warner Music dropped lawsuits against AI firms to co-develop music tools. These deals hint at possible industry-wide licensing frameworks, though ongoing litigation could still dramatically reshape the economic and legal norms governing AI.AI copyright battles enter pivotal year as US courts weigh fair use | Reuters This is a public episode.

In this explosive episode of Unleashing Intuition Secrets, Michael Jaco welcomes back Juan O Savin for a deep-intel breakdown of one of the most consequential geopolitical moments unfolding behind the scenes. Juan analyzes reports surrounding a high-stakes military operation involving Nicolás Maduro, examining how Special Forces tactics, internal intelligence assets, and coordinated strategy mirror historic missions such as the takedown of Noriega. The conversation explores how modern operations rely on layered intelligence, timing, and psychological pressure—not just force. From there, Michael and Juan widen the lens to the Iran–Cuba–Venezuela axis, international drug trafficking networks, and how these global actors intersect with election interference, corruption, and power struggles closer to home. They discuss leadership failures in places like Colorado, the Tina Peters case, and why domestic political battles cannot be separated from global intelligence warfare. The episode also connects these developments to Trump-era policies, strategic deterrence, and why certain operations only become possible when the geopolitical board is properly set. This is not surface-level commentary. It's a strategic overview of how global conflicts, covert operations, and local politics are deeply intertwined—and why understanding that connection matters now more than ever.

In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan covers the first confirmed U.S. ground strike inside Venezuela, escalating threats between Washington and Tehran, high-stakes peace negotiations over Ukraine, and a wide-ranging listener Q&A that spans Africa, Europe, and promising medical breakthroughs. U.S. Destroys Venezuelan Port Facility: President Trump confirmed that U.S. forces destroyed a port facility used by the Maduro regime to load drug trafficking boats. Reporting from Axios and CNN indicates the strike targeted land-based infrastructure, marking a major escalation beyond maritime interdictions. Bryan explains that the CIA and U.S. Special Forces were almost certainly involved and that the attack was meant to signal to Maduro that Washington has deep intelligence access and is prepared to keep striking unless a deal is reached. Risks of Retaliation and Global Entanglement: Bryan warns that a cornered Maduro may turn to sabotage operations inside the United States using narco gangs like Tren de Aragua. He also outlines less likely but more dangerous scenarios involving Chinese or Russian support, noting that Venezuela owes Beijing roughly $70 billion. Bryan argues Trump likely holds the advantage, but the situation remains volatile. Trump Threatens New Strikes on Iran: Following talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President Trump said additional U.S. airstrikes are possible if Iran advances its nuclear or ballistic missile programs. For the first time, Washington appears equally focused on Iran's missile capabilities, aligning more closely with Israel's long held concerns. Iran's president responded by declaring a full-scale war with the United States and Israel. Iranian Assassination Plot Uncovered: The FBI is investigating an Iranian Quds Force team allegedly operating inside the United States to kidnap or assassinate American officials, including President Trump. Bryan connects the threat to mounting unrest inside Iran, where currency collapse, water shortages, and street protests are pushing the regime toward desperation. Ukraine Seeks Long-Term U.S. Security Guarantees: President Zelenskyy asked for a fifty-year American security guarantee as part of any peace deal with Russia. Trump countered with an offer of fifteen years. Bryan explains why such guarantees could entangle the United States in future wars and spark backlash from Trump's America First base, especially if paired with new conflicts in Iran and Venezuela. Listener Questions and Medical Good News: Bryan answers listener questions on Somaliland, European cultural decline, and why Israel's recognition of Somaliland has ignited regional tensions. He closes with encouraging medical updates on multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, and diabetes, highlighting research that links oral health, cellular energy balance, and natural sunlight exposure to improved outcomes.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Venezuela port strike CIA Special Forces, Maduro narco boats Tren de Aragua, Trump Iran missile nuclear threats, Iranian assassination plot Quds Force FBI, Ukraine peace talks security guarantee, Zelenskyy Trump fifteen years, Somaliland Israel recognition Horn of Africa, Europe cultural decline cousin marriage, MS oral bacteria research, NAD Alzheimer's study, sunlight diabetes glucose control

Where does your field jacket actually come from? Were WWII soldiers the original hypebeasts? What is the M-43 jacket? Sol and Michael sit down with Avery Trufelman, host of Articles of Interest and 99% Invisible veteran, to break down the military origins of menswear and why everyone's suddenly obsessed with gorpcore. The trio dive deep into the history of the M-65 field jacket, how World War II military surplus shaped American fashion, the invention of layering (yes, someone had to invent it), why Special Forces operators became fashion influencers, and the complicated ethics of wearing military aesthetics as civilians. Further, Avery shares insights from her latest podcast season "Gear," explaining the connection between outdoor brands and military contracts, the decline of army surplus stores, why The Row is making combat boots now, and how Buck Mason's militaria collection tells the story of American style. They also discuss Vivienne Westwood's punk legacy, the upcoming Antwerp Six book, athleisure as health signifier, Rick Owens' influence on tactical fashion, women's gear and the "pink it and shrink it" problem, plus whether military fashion makes you complicit in something larger. Other topics include: the Parsons jacket and Supreme-style military drops, George Doria inventing venture capital AND the field jacket, challenge coins and PowerPoint patch design, Americana Pipe Dream's hunt for rare surplus, Cher and the Armenian diaspora (a future episode?), and why fashion never really goes away — it just cycles back.Want to support the podcast?

Rising Above: From Runaway Kid to Green Beret, Cop, and Creator This week's Team Never Quit episode brings you a raw, unfiltered, and deeply inspiring conversation with Sean Rogers - a man who has lived several lifetimes' worth of adversity, discipline, transformation, and impact. From a desert town to the global stage, Rogers' story is one of resilience forged under pressure. Born in California and raised in Phelan, his early years were marked by chaos and instability. After running away from home as a teenager, he refused to let hardship dictate his future. He finished high school on his own terms and made the bold choice to enlist in the military, setting into motion a journey that would change everything. While on active duty, Sean began his formal education and pushed himself academically with the same intensity he brought to training. He earned a master's degree in organizational leadership—all while pursuing the grueling path to become a U.S. Army Special Forces Green Beret. Two deployments later, he transitioned to a new mission: serving his community as a police officer. What he witnessed on the streets during the riots following the death of George Floyd would reshape his understanding of leadership, culture, communication, and human behavior. But Sean's story didn't stop there. Driven to help the next generation of warriors, he founded The FNG Academy, an online platform designed to prepare aspiring Special Forces candidates for the mental, physical, and emotional challenges of selection. What started as a simple resource has grown into a thriving YouTube community, a robust online store, and a dedicated team committed to equipping others to step into their potential with confidence. He later chronicled his incredible life journey in his autobiography, Rising Above, a book that captures the honesty, grit, and self-discovery that have shaped his path. Sean Rogers embodies what it means to overcome circumstances, own your story, and turn pain into purpose. Whether you're chasing personal growth, preparing for a demanding path, or simply looking for motivation to push through your own challenges, this is an episode you won't want to miss. In this episode you will hear: • Recently, I finally figured out that God is what I needed to be chasing. (5:27) • I got a Master's Degree. I ran marathons. I ran ultra marathons. Trying to fill that void. I got Special Forces; I went police officer. Everything I thought would help – none of it helped. (6:49) • They develop this fear in you that if you get found out by CPS, you're gonna get separated from your siblings. So, you start learning how to hide what's going on at home. (11:06) • I used to run away constantly – to all my family member's houses, and the cops would go get me and bring me back. (18:03) • [I wanted to die] I had one of two directions to go: either get worse, and then she's gonna look back one day and say she made the right decision, or I can get better and I can look back one day and say that was the best thing that ever happened to me. (38:59) • I had to make a decision. I don't want this to define me that someone got to choose my fate. (39:53) • If I can't get my act together enough to follow through on a plan, maybe the Army will be the place where they will let me be kinda wild and refine me a little bit. (44:56) • At 67:12 to 70:30, Sean speaks about an awful mistake he made in a gunfight. • Writing books. Of all the things I've done, I've hated that the worst. (78:00) • I trust people that talk about God now. A lot of SF guys idolize. We say “Look at me.” (78:06) • What stoked my fire with God was the show “Chosen.” (80:29) • I'm claiming to be Christian, and I don't even know how cool Jesus is. (80:57) • At some point you have to say. “I'm buckling down, this is where God wants me. I'm here – thick or thin, and we're gonna get through this.” (104:52) • [Marcus] from 0-40 it's an opinion; 40-60 it's perspective; and 60+ is wisdom. • Self-help books are broken people talking to broken people to give you some temporary encouragement.
