Send us a textBuckle up. In this flaming hot Ones Ready drop, Peaches unloads on the latest Air Force news like it's target practice. From the Pentagon's DEI purge to putting cruise missiles on MQ-9s (because why not?), we're diving deep into the bureaucratic chaos of the DoD's week. We question why the hell an OA-1K would carry a cruise missile, throw shade at “aspirational” tech projects, and get uncomfortably honest about childcare, base closures, and how many damn generals are collecting paychecks. Also, our only search and rescue dog retires, and it gets emotional. Pour one out for Callie.Meanwhile, only four slots remain for the Operator Training Summit—12 hours in the pool, mask clearing, buddy breathing, underwater misery and mentorship with the Ones Ready crew. Don't miss your shot to suffer with a purpose in San Diego this June.

Send us a textWelcome to the May 2nd Daily Drop, where Jared breaks down the absolute fever dream that is today's Air Force memo—everything from piano-burning ceremonies to Space Force launching a special operations element (yes, you read that right). This episode's a rollercoaster through military bureaucracy, geopolitical chaos, and some straight-up “wait… what?” moments.We're talking about 8,000 troops at the southern border, the Air Force testing robo-wingmen, Japan mad about a B-1 bomber blocking their runway, and Guam getting overrun by 25,000 stray dogs (no, seriously). Also, shoutout to the Air Force for helping control said dogs… because readiness, I guess?Throw in canceled Iran nuclear talks, a new missile shield with a suspiciously biblical name (“Golden Dome”), and a nominee for Undersecretary getting roasted for telling the truth—and you've got an episode that proves the Pentagon never sleeps… but maybe should.

Emotional Intelligence–or EQ is now more vital than ever. In today's episode of The Unbeatable Mind, Mark's daughter Catherine is sitting down for a candid and insightful discussion about emotional development and the evolving landscape of leadership in a world that's becoming more dominated by AI.    Catherine and Mark explore the limitations of traditional leadership models that prioritize IQ over EQ, touching on how emotional awareness, self-control, and the oft-overlooked concept of “us” in relationships are fundamental aspects of effective leadership. Drawing from their personal experiences, Mark and Catherine dissect the energy of emotions, the mind-body connection, and the importance of radical self-acceptance.    Together, Mark and Catherine emphasize that real growth does not happen in isolation, it's our most challenging interactions through the emotional landscape that we become better leaders, teammates, and people.    Key Takeaways:  Relational Development: Discover how the most impactful growth happens not in isolation, but through relationships. Real emotional development is tested through authentic connection and mutual vulnerability.  EQ VS. IQ: Learn why Mark and Catherine believe EQ is the leadership superpower of the future. When machines can outperform us in data and logic, our unique advantage lies in self-awareness, empathy, and connection.  The Body-Mind Connection: Understand how acknowledging the somatic side of your feelings can unlock deep growth and healing. Emotions are simply energy in motion—the body plays a key role.  EQ as a Daily Practice: Recognize how emotional maturity is not a destination—but rather a lifelong journey that requires mindfulness, honest communication, and vulnerability.    Catherine Divine is a leadership coach, author, and yoga instructor with over 20 years of experience helping leaders unlock their full potential. Coauthor of Kokoro Yoga with her stepfather, Mark Divine, and author of Sacred Silence, Catherine holds a Master's in Transformative Leadership from CIIS and is pursuing a PhD in East-West Psychology. As a Master Unbeatable Mind Coach, she has trained C-suite executives, Special Ops candidates, and high-performance leaders, guiding them to integrate mindfulness, emotional intelligence, and resilience.

Send us a textIn this heartwarming, sarcastic, slightly chaotic episode, Trent joins M42 Adventures to unpack 20 years of Air Force Special Warfare—and the wild decision-making process that got him there. Spoiler alert: It all started because he hated being told what to do... so naturally, he joined the military.We dive into what makes someone pursue a path where 90% of people fail, why burning your life down might be the best prep for basic training, and how Ones Ready accidentally became a podcast that survived five years, a global war, and zero profits.This is an episode for the ones who never fit the mold, who failed college but found meaning in uniform, and who figured out that purpose doesn't come from clout—it comes from hard lessons, late nights, and unshakable discipline. And yeah, maybe a little stubbornness, too.

Isaac Frazier- 2nd generation Firefighter with 21 years of career experience. Former Capt of Special Ops with St.John's County Fire/Rescue in Florida. Currently a Firefighter on Truck 2 with Wichita Fire Department, Owner of Tactical Advantage Training & Creator of Into The Job Firefighter symposium. My interview with Isaac went down a few damn good rabbit holes but overall the message given was as Firefighters, husbands, fathers, mothers, wives significant others sometimes we really need to self evaluate ourselves by assessing our own performance and abilities. We should self assess, reflect, criticize, and ask ourselves are we being accountable? It's no secret Firefighters can eat their own in vicious ways but on the other end Firefighters can rise up to the occasion when needed. My favorite quote from Isaac was “ Some are not who they think they are.”IG: tacticaladvantagetraining & intothejob

This week's Urban Valor episode features Rory Farrell, a retired Navy Special Operations Corpsman (2004-2024), who shares his journey through the military and beyond. Growing up in Colchester, CT, Rory was deeply impacted by 9/11, which inspired him to enlist in the Navy. He pursued the Special Amphibious Reconnaissance Corpsman pipeline, undergoing some of the most grueling training in military history to become a Special Ops Medic. Throughout his career, Rory faced intense challenges, including a flashbang accident that nearly cost him his hand, and a shocking attempt by a superior officer to sabotage his career.

Allison Black surprised her family by deciding to enlist in the U.S. Air Force after high school. She did it to be part of a mission bigger than herself. After basic training, Black spent the next several years as a Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape - or SERE - instructor, teaching service members what to do if shot down, stuck behind enemy lines, or captured. After several years of that she became an officer in Air Force special operations and served as a navigator aboard an AC-130H gunship. Shortly after 9/11, she and her crew were deployed to Afghanistan.In this edition of Veterans Chronicles, Col. Black describes her life in SERE training, making the shift to special operations and the AC-130, what 9/11 was like for her, entering combat in Afghanistan, and how a famed Afghan ally ended up dubbing her "The Angel of Death."Retiring in 2024, Black also reflects on the lessons she learned in 32 years of service and what she hopes others learned from her.

Catherine Divine is back on The Unbeatable Mind this week to delve into the concept of mastering the ‘physical mountain'--a term that refers to one's journey towards physical health and fitness.    Mark and Catherine delve into the idea that in order to unlock one's full potential, it's important to train not only the body, but also the mind and spirit. Got a busy schedule and don't know how or where to incorporate fitness? Mark and Catherine share practical advice for how to do so. The power of small, consistent efforts—-what Mark calls “spot drills”----can't be understated and can seem like a godsend for those leading hectic lives. Beyond the benefits of physical activity, the interconnectedness of physical, emotional, and mental well-being is explored!   Key Takeaways: Time Management: Reframe physical activity as a cumulative activity and learn how to utilise ‘spot drills' throughout the day.  Integration of Different Aspects of Experience: Realize the importance of connecting fully to life through bodily awareness and the interconnectedness of both physical and mental experiences.  Body and Mind as a Unified Construct: Listen to different philosophical perspectives on what the mind is and learn to create a mindful connection between physical and emotional states.  Training Balance and Recovery: Recognize the importance of recovery in forming a balanced training routine and discover how to integrate physical challenges with mental and emotional ones.    Itunes Bio: Catherine Divine is a leadership coach, author, and yoga instructor with over 20 years of experience helping leaders unlock their full potential.

JERRY GLAZERAs the leader of a Special Ops team, I learned the hard way that the Vietnam War was built on lies and deceit. We had as much to fear from the hardened American units, as we did from the enemy. ​I was one of the more fortunate ones who returned alive, but every soldier has been wounded. I was awarded 3 medals for bravery, and meritorious service awards, but PTSD, regret and guilt followed me home. When I returned from Vietnam, I recounted these the bizarre stories: the humor and absurdity of basic training and combat. My friends and family members, were both intrigued and in awe of the insanity of it all. And it was then, that I put my thoughts on paper, and my passion for writing had begun…... ​Connect with Jerry Glazerwebsite: https://jerryglazer.medium.comwebsite: www.Vietnamjerry.comemail: jerryglazer@texfabco.cahttp://www.facebook.com/jerryglazerlinkedin.com/in/jerryglazerX @Jerry_glazerhttps://www.instagram.com/jgauthor22/Connect with Host Terry LohrbeerIf you are a Boomer and feel you would make a great guest please email Terry with your bio and any other info you would like to share at: terry@kickassboomers.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2658545911065461/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/terrylohrbeer/Instagram: kickassboomersTwitter: @kickassboomersWebsite: kickassboomers.comTerry's editing company:Connect to Premiere Podcast Pros for podcast editing:premierepodcastpros@gmail.com LEAVE A REVIEW and join me on my journey to become and stay a Kickass Boomer!Visit http://kickassboomers.com/ to listen to the previous episodes.

In New Orleans, a man rammed down innocent civilians and opened fire on New Year's eve/day in the French Quarter. Initially the FBI said it wasn't terrorism. Then they said it was and that he acted with a bunch of people including a woman who planted IEDs throughout the city. Then they claimed he acted alone. In front of Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, a Cybertruck exploded with fireworks and bombs after the driver killed himself. Both of these people rented through Turo. Both of them were stationed at Fort Bragg. The Trump Hotel attacker was Special Ops and was still active duty. The New Orleans attacker was in the military there. Ryan Routh, the alleged attempted assassin of Trump on a golf course months ago also was stationed at Fort Bragg and worked for the Ukrainian intelligence service. This is clearly a Mossad/Cia operation to cause destabilization, fear and emergency orders while "justifying" the mass murder World War 3's manufactured campaigns will incur. Just like the Christmas Market attacker who called himself a "Zionist-Atheist" and was wanted for child trafficking. We have entered False Flag Season and they're stoking chaos before our eyes.

This week on The Unbeatable Mind, Catherine Divine provides her riveting account of how she breathed her way through adversity after a surfing accident left her with a concussion and fractured occipital bone.    Though breathing for most is simply an automatic function of life, mastering breath control can have profound impacts on both mental and emotional states. Mark and Catherine share their valuable knowledge on techniques like box breathing, and alternate nostril breathing. Such techniques hold the power to manage stress and improve overall well-being. Together, they unpack the art of breathing and discuss its largely unrealized potential as a “free medicine” that can absolutely transform your life!  Key Takeaways: Health Benefits of Breathwork: Discover how consistent breathwork practice can bring about positive health benefits such as weight loss, and balancing the body's energy systems.  Observations and Adjustments in Breathing: Learn how to identify and correct breathing imbalances and identify changes in nostril predominance over time and seasonal influences.  Nose Vs. Mouth Breathing: Identify the benefits of nostril breathing over mouth breathing, and the relevance of the body's chakras and energy systems.  Breath Control: Hear Catherine's personal account of using breath control to manage her recovery after a surfing accident.    Catherine Divine is a leadership coach, author, and yoga instructor with over 20 years of experience helping leaders unlock their full potential. Coauthor of Kokoro Yoga with her stepfather, Mark Divine, and author of Sacred Silence, Catherine holds a Master's in Transformative Leadership from CIIS and is pursuing a PhD in East-West Psychology.

Breaking Up with the Enemy Mike Manuel Part 2Are you ready to break free from the unseen chains holding you back? Today, we going to dive into the power of deliverance – setting people free from the grip of the devil and his fallen angels. Whether it's freeing non-believers from possession or helping believers overcome demonic oppression, Pastor Mike Manuel is the expert in this area…and he is going to share with us the truth about these types of spiritual battles. Learn how deception can impact your life and discover how to reclaim your peace, hope, and joy.  Pastor Mike Manuel is an ordained pastor with the Assemblies of God. He is a published author, an international speaker and a deliverance minister serving the Lord Jesus. Amen! He has helped hundreds of people to be transformed emotionally, physically and spiritually by the Supernatural Power of the Living God. Amen! Pastor Mike is the author of two books, “Torn: Embracing the New Covenant in an Old Covenant World” and his latest book, “Breaking Up with the Enemy: How to Defeat the Devil's Deceit and Reclaim Peace, Hope and Joy.” Help me welcome to the program, Pastor Mike Manuel. This is part two to a great onversation with Pastor Mike Manuel!I think one of the problems is that many believers think they can just recite one or two scripture verses and they are like some “magic incantations” that make the devil run away. But Jesus clearly says the Word has to be in your heart. “Out of the ABUNDANCE of the heart, the mouth speaks.” That does not mean “memorized in your head.” But an abundance in your heart…am I correct in that assumption? Let's shift to your book, “Breaking Up with the Enemy.” Why did you write this book and why publish now? In your book, “Breaking Up with the Enemy,” you actually go through some practical steps that will help people “close the doors” to the areas they have possibly left open for the devil to wreak havoc in their lives. Can you give us a few more examples from your book? How can someone order a copy of your book? Is it on Amazon? You not only do services at churches, you also will hold events in hotel conference rooms and special events, etc. correct? If you could summarize it for us, what is the number one thing you would like your readers to take away from reading this book? Is there anything you'd like to share with our listeners today that we have not already covered? Pastor Mike, this has been so interesting. I could talk to you about this for hours. Praise God for you and your anointing in this ministry. If someone has a question or would like more information, or they would like to have you on an interview like this - how can the get in touch with you? I'll put links to all of this in the show notes below. Folks, this type of Spiritual warfare is not for the faint of heart…but believers need to be the “front line troops” in handling anything that pops its ugly head up in your area of operations. Amen! There are times in the military where the front line troops are encountering something that requires the Special Ops people to come in and handle. That is where Pastor Mike Manuel and his Deliverance Ministry comes...
