Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Pace served in the U.S. Army for 22 years. He first deployed to Afghanistan at the beginning of the War on Terror as an infantryman, then redeployed to Afghanistan in ‘03. After attending officer candidate school, Pace then deployed to Iraq as a company executive officer in ‘07.  Pace then decided to join the U.S. Army Special Forces (Green Berets). He did work in places like Colombia, Peru, Europe and Central America, doing foreign internal defense before returning to Afghanistan in 2019 as a part of Special Operation Forces. There, he oversaw drone warfare. In this interview, Pace talks about his deployment to Iraq, joining the Green Berets, and the horrors of drone warfare:  “I started to feel like I was running some kind of weird factory, where our product was human tragedies, where we're just blowing up these people over and over, we're just watching it night after night. And it started to bother me, but it did achieve its desired effect. It did achieve its impact. Again, it's a very effective way to do business.”  Click here to check out Two Weeks In Hell, the Discovery Channel show about the Green Beret's training which features LTC Pace.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Cheers,Scott, Jake, & MichaelBourbon Lens About Horse Soldier Bourbon Horse Soldier Bourbon is an all American, ultra-premium whiskey crafted by the legendary U.S. Army Green Berets who answered the country's call days after 9/11 with a daring insertion, on horseback, into northern Afghanistan. This brave and unconventional act earned them the moniker of “Horse Soldiers” and inspired them to create their awarding winning bourbon. The team has been featured in the Hollywood movie 12 Strong, the CNN documentary Legion of Brothers, and is memorialized by America's Response Monument located at Ground Zero in New York City. When the team first set out on their journey to make Horse Soldier Bourbon, they wanted to ensure they were fully immersing themselves in the art of making whiskey and learning all they could about the ingredients used, distillation, aging and design. They therefore traveled around the world visiting distilleries and brand houses to gain more information and understand everything that went into making a stellar bourbon. The result was the ability to successfully combine their new knowledge and whiskey making skills with the meticulous precision, process, and habits they gained in the military and translate both into distilling the world-class Horse Soldier Bourbon brand.  Founded in 2015, Horse Soldier Bourbon encompasses three core elements that make it the legendary spirit it is today: Authentic, the team behind the brand are an integral part of the country's history; All-American, each ingredient used to make Horse Soldier Bourbon is from the U.S, including its glass bottle, which is molded by steel recovered from the World Trade Center to commemorate the lives lost but never forgotten; And Award-Winning, to date the brand has won more than 30 awards from many of the industry's most prestigious competitions, including three Double Gold Medals at the San Francisco International Spirits Competition. Today, the team's steadfast mission is to continue to create an award-winning, legendary line of bourbons, the embodiment of the American spirit and the Horse Soldier's legacy in a bottle. Comprised of rich and complex wheat-forward whiskies, the core Horse Soldier Portfolio includes the Straight Bourbon, Small Batch Bourbon, and Barrel Strength Bourbon in addition to limited edition expressions launched annually, such as the Commander's Select Limited Edition Release.  Looking ahead, Horse Soldier Bourbon will be making its forever home in Somerset, Kentucky. Located on 225 acres of rolling countryside, they put together an award winning team of international and local architects, experiential designers, and engineers to create the Horse Soldier Distillery experience.  The new distillery will become the most southern stop on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, joining the family of iconic distilleries that have made their home there and ensuring the Horse Soldier legacy lives on for decades to come. The Horse Soldier Bourbon Portfolio: Horse Soldier Straight Bourbon (SRP: $49.99 | 43.5% ABV):  The brand's classic recipe of authentic bourbon is made with corn, rye, and malted barley and won a Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2019. It is a balanced and robust bourbon aged a minimum of 3 years to ensure its distinctive, mellow character.  Horse Soldier Small Batch Bourbon (SRP: $69.99 | 47.5% ABV): Extraordinarily complex with notes of vanilla, ginger, and cherries, this “wheated” bourbon is made from small batches of meticulously blended mature whiskey, aged for a minimum of 6 years in new American white oak barrels. It received a Gold Medal (95 Points) at the New York International Spirits Competition and 92 Points at the International Wine & Spirits Competition.  Horse Soldier Barrel Strength Bourbon (SRP: $84.99 | 54% ABV): A uniquely complex “wheated” uncut and non-chill filtered bourbon that has matured for a minimum of 6 years in new American white oak barrels. This all-natural, all-American product just won a Double Gold in the 2021 San Francisco World Spirits Competition and was included in the Top 100 Spirits of 2020. It also earned 93 points at the New York International Spirits Competition and 92 points at the International Wine and Spirits Competition, making it a truly prized bourbon. The soft red winter wheat in the recipe provides intriguing depth and complexity to this ultimate American spirit. Commander's Select Limited Edition Single Batch Release (SRP: $595 | 65.5% ABV): An outstanding and award-winning limited annual release, most recently winning Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2019, the Commanders Select barrels are meticulously chosen each year by both Commander and Chief Warrant Officer of Special Forces ODA Team 595. Sales from the Commander's Select are all donated to maintaining the America Response Monument located at Ground Zero in New York City. This year's 2021 release will be debuted in the fall, commemorating the 20th Anniversary of 9/11.

This episode follows our conversation with Staff Sgt. Kevin Flike, a Green Beret, and Alan Price, an Army Veteran and the current JFK Library and Museum Director, released on 8-24-20.Staff Sergeant Kevin Flike is a true role model for so many in any culture, and for both service members and civilians. He continues to educate us through public speaking, his work with the Green Beret Foundation, and through academic leadership that began at the Sloan school at MIT and the Harvard Kennedy School of Government. Make sure to check out Kevin’s 2019 documentary Wounded by War for an incredible view of his story of injury and resilience. The US Army Special Forces is the special operations force established in 1952. Throughout the 1950s the Green Beret was worn as an unofficial part of the SF uniform, until 1961 when President JFK authorized the GB as the official head gear. JFK called the green beret "a symbol of excellence, a badge of courage, a mark of distinction in the fight for freedom."Many thanks to the JFK Presidential Library and Museum for hosting the Home Base team for this conversation, Leslie Feinberg our government relations director, and Army Veteran Pat Smith, Home Base’s Special Operation’s liaison. Thank you Staff Sergeant Flike for your service both before and after 2011, and thank you to Kimberlee Flike and your family for their service over these trying years. To learn more and connect with us:www.homebase.org/homebasenationTwitter, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedInHome Base Nation Team:Steve Monaco, US Marine Corps Brendan McCaffrey, Maureen Roderick, Charlotte Luckey, Karianne Kraus, Chuck Clough, DeeDee Kearney, Natalie BonelliProducer and Host:Ron Hirschberg Thank you to:Photography - Joe Wallace for photographyOn location recording - Chuck Clough of Above The Basement  Introduction scene and "Taliban Fight" score - David G.

The United States government has tried their best to keep the facts about their Special Forces and what they do as secretive as possible. However, in a country that is so proud of its military and their lore, quite a bit has managed to leak out anyway. More recently, the Navy SEALs have been very much in the spotlight due to the raid on the compound holding Osama Bin Laden, as well as the subsequent movies and books about it. However, much of what you have heard recently about the SEALs may not be the whole truth, and there are many other equally interesting Special Forces that have fallen under the radar in recent years.

What is that you want to achieve in life? How do you want to live your life? These are the questions at the core of Dr Paul Arciero’s work into helping people live longer, and live healthier. Shan interviews Dr Arciero about his newly released book ‘The Protein Pacing Diet’, on how he came into the field following a career as an athlete, and why taking time out for yourself each day can add seven years to your life. If you’re looking for practical key strategies for improving your overall health from nutrition, to emotional wellbeing this is the episode for you.   Key Takeaways How did you get into this area? I grew up in a close-knit large Italian family. Early on I had a really close connection with my family. When I first saw my parents and grandparents getting ill, it hit me hard. I knew then, that I wanted to go into a career where I was helping people live a healthier life.   My grandmother suffered from heart disease. There were things that she could have changed that would have helped her health like being a little bit more active. My grandfather developed type two diabetes, a disease where lifestyle is a contributing factor. Consequently, as an adult researcher, my focus has been on diabetes and heart disease.   Taking time alone for yourself each day. One of the biggest factors in terms of gaining high blood pressure is stress, so even a five minute daily ‘body-visit’ which can be prayer or mindfulness can be effective in reducing your blood pressure. Even 15-20 minutes outside in nature can reduce your cortisol levels, without even moving. Of all of our lifestyle choices diet is the biggest factor but simple things like being in nature can help.   I was not a good student growing up. I was held back twice until I went to middle school. I had to find something that I could create self-worth around. Just out of survival I gravitated towards using my physical body. It led to having a positive connection to my dad through Hockey. With my mum, the connection was through gardening which was physical as well as connected to food.   What were the specific things that you were doing that other athlete’s weren’t? For me, it was the way I trained in a multidisciplinary way, as a lot of people were training in relation to quantity back then. More and more cardio or more and more weights rather than stretching for example. I was exposed to things like yoga early on, in the ’70s, which was almost unheard of back then. I very much focused on the quality of the experience in training. So I would take the time to have a yoga session while I was a Tennis player.   There are around four exercises that you should be doing to improve your health. Engage in some sort of resistance training, which can be anything from weights to modified exercises. Completing some higher intensity exercise where you push yourself a little further than you would do normally, for a short space of time, including a full recovery for 4-5 minutes. The third is stretching, so this could be Yoga or a different modified form. Our bodies are nothing more than a series of pulleys and levers. This is more important as you get older and when you do more exercise. The fourth is endurance exercise, such as a bike ride, or swim. There is great research to back up doing every one of these areas.   The majority of people know exactly what they need to do to be healthier. This isn’t motivating, however, finding something that is motivating can be difficult. We have to make sure that we focus on what motivates us. What is that people want to achieve and do in their life?   Why would someone consider going into the Prise Life Programme? I’m a scientist and want to go into something based on data. I want to provide information to people to help, that is based on facts. There is so much anecdotal information that is not based on facts or research. Starting with things that are scientifically proven is a good starting point. This approach to comprehensive not compartmentalised. Some have a nutritional component, and others have an exercise but not emotional well-being. This is an overarching approach to wellbeing.   Any pyramid structure has a great foundation and everything else is built on it. The protein pacing lifestyle is the process of consuming high-quality protein from plant and animal sources at certain intervals in the day. Protein is the most vital and important area of nutrition. This isn’t a high-protein diet, it’s about eating the right amount and the right quality of protein. Timing of when you are consuming is important. Our bodies work best when we consume it every 3-4 hours and the amounts should be 20-40g of servings. This is critical as it's based on science.   Best Moments ‘We developed this close-knit family.’ ‘It hit me hard when I first saw my parents and grandparents get ill.’ ‘I want to help others live a healthier life.’ ‘This raw gut feeling that these people I really love, and their struggling.’ ‘The heart is a fascinating organ.’ ‘Caffeine is a known stressor on our blood pressure.’ ‘We are exposing ourselves to things we aren’t aware of that can impact our health.’ ‘I’m on a mission to help people create easy lifestyle.’ ‘We have to keep it simple for people.’ ‘Stress is a big factor in high blood pressure.’ ‘A five-minute break, mindfulness can be an effective way of reducing blood pressure.’ ‘Just being in nature can be great for you.’ ‘I found an identity in my physical body.’ ‘I found a connection with my mom through gardening.’ ‘All of a sudden, some people were asking me as the expert how to train properly.’ ‘It was so much meaningful helping others as a life purpose.’ ‘I focused on the quality, and multidisciplinary approach to training.’ ‘It’s important to adapt your exercises to you.’ ‘Start off with something easy on your body like walking.’ ‘Make sure it’s something sustainable.’ ‘Variety is really important for people in terms of exercise.’ ‘Put people in more in touch with the life that they want to live.’ ‘Do things that are sustainable and you find fun.’ ‘Make sure all the things that you take on board in terms of advice is based on evidence.’ ‘I think we have compartmentalized too much.’ ‘I’ve been able to create a wellbeing lifestyle with a nutritional, physical and emotional that work  in synergy.’ ‘Protein is the most important aspect of nutrition.’ ‘The brain is a really major consumer of high-quality protein.’ ‘Nuritioning your body that makes you feel good.’   Valuable Resources Buy ‘The Protein Pacing Diet’ here www.paularciero.com   ABOUT THE HOST Dr Shan Hussain is an author, general practitioner, health coach, wellness advisor and ambassador to the World Health Innovation Summit.
