From screw-up recruit to revered drill instructor, First Sergeant John Crouch takes us deep into the crucible of Marine Corps transformation. In this gripping episode, Crouch recalls his early days at bootcamp, his infamous misstep during the Laws of Land Warfare class, and the brutal but formative experience of Drill Instructor School at Parris Island. He shares harrowing tales of PT punishment, spit-shined leadership, and the unwavering standards that mold raw recruits into Marines. Whether he's talking about the origin of “YUT!” or the moment he lost all attraction to a stunning Staff Sergeant mid-drip, Crouch delivers humor, humility, and hard-earned wisdom. You'll hear how tradition, stress, and shared adversity forge the kind of leaders America needs. This one's got everything: embarrassment, endurance, and the emotional gravity that only the Corps can provide. Don't miss this raw, hilarious, and unforgettable ride through the making of a DI.
All was good in the life of Kijuan Amey of Durham, NC. He had an exciting job as an Air Force in-flight refueling specialist, advancing to the rank of Staff Sergeant. He was finishing his bachelor's degree with a 3.87 GPA, played semipro football, had a girlfriend, played the drums, had started a company doing website design and social media marketing for businesses, owned a sweet 2014 Dodge Charger with a Hemi V8, and was active in his church. All at the age of 25. He also enjoyed relaxing takes drives on his Kawasaki Ninja motorcycle. On the fateful day on May 5, 2017, a Honda Accord, in broad daylight, inexplicably pulled out in front of Kijuan and his motorcycle, striking and almost killing him. The long list of injuries included shattering bones in his lower right leg, left hip and femur, and lower vertebrae, a fractured skull, a broken jaw, and a torn lower eyelid that caused his eye to pop out. Kijuan was in a coma for a month, and when he awoke in the hospital, he had no idea that he'd even been in an accident, only that he couldn't see, and with his jaw wired shut, couldn't ask anyone, either. He thought he was in some sort of a nightmare, not reality. Can you imagine trying to process that in your mind? Kijuan faced arduous months of physical and mental rehab, including dealing with the permanent loss of his sight. He'll probably never know why the driver pulled out like that. However, Kijuan is too young and ambitious to be held down, so what you are going to hear in this episode is Kijaun's inspiring battle back and determination to make a difference. His motto is that he may have lost his sight, but not his vision. He is a motivating force and is empowering others to success. He has been called the “Excuse Destroyer,” because he hasn't let this rough incident hold him back and wants to make sure others don't hold themselves back, either. He's out there motivational speaking, and you can book him at ameymotivation.com, where you can also hear him playing the drums to what I think are awesomely soulful tunes. After listening to this incredible story, I highly recommend reading his soon-to-be-bestseller, “Don't Focus on Why Me: From Motorcycle Accident to Miracle,” which is a quick, yet uplifting read that you can find both on his website and on Amazon.Kijuan Ameyameymotivation.comkijuan@ameymotivation.comFacebook Amey MotivationInstagram @kijuanameyLinkedIn Kijuan AmeyYouTube @Story_OfSuccessBill Stahlsilly_billy@msn.comFacebook Bill StahlInstagram and Threads @stahlor and @we_are_superman_podcastYouTube We Are Superman PodcastSubscribe to the We Are Superman Newsletter!https://mailchi.mp/dab62cfc01f8/newsletter-signupSubscribe to our Substack for my archive of articles of coaching tips developed from my more than three decades of experience, wild and funny stories from my long coaching career, the wit and wisdom of David, and highlights of some of the best WASP episodes from the past that I feel are worthwhile giving another listen.Search either We Are Superman Podcast or @billstahl8

What happens when Ontario's top cop family goes rogue? In this unfiltered episode of the Awake & Winning Podcast, Kaylor sits down with Krista and Dave Haynes to expose the truth about COVID mandates, police corruption, and mass compliance inside Canadian law enforcement. Krista, a bold online truth-teller and daughter of Ontario Premier Doug Ford, didn't hold back when the world was told to sit down and stay quiet. Her husband Dave—a high-ranking staff sergeant with Toronto Police—risked everything by refusing the jab and speaking out against the force's unlawful actions. They reveal what really went down behind closed doors, why officers stayed silent, how mandates wrecked police morale, and what's happening to crime across Canada. Plus, they share their raw take on men's mental health, marriage, and why integrity matters more than titles. If you want the truth about what happened in Ontario—this is the episode. Episode Highlights: police culture, COVID mandates, crime in Canada, speaking out, truth-telling, marriage dynamics, mental health, sovereignty, mainstream media, masculinity, censorship, vaccine resistance Takeaways: The hidden internal pressure police officers faced during COVID Why Dave refused the mandate despite being promoted to staff sergeant How Krista used her voice online to spark critical thinking The disturbing silence inside the force during the early pandemic Why crime is rising and police resources are stretched thin The truth about men's mental health and emotional expression How Krista and Dave built a strong marriage rooted in communication If you enjoyed the episode, please be sure to take a screenshot and share it out on Instagram and tag @thekaylorbetts.

Nugget of Hope: "Together, we can combat any challenge."Doug Lawrence is the founder of TalentC® and is focused on mentoring as a solution provider. Doug is an internationally certified Mentor.Serving as a Staff Sergeant in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) for 25 years, Doug retired in 1999. He then volunteered as a mentor with the Sir Richard Branson Entrepreneur Program in the Caribbean and with the American Corporate Partners in the United States, working with military personnel to transition from military life to civilian life.With over 30 years of mentoring and leadership experience, Doug is recognized as a thought leader in the mentoring space. Doug authored “The Gift of Mentoring,” and his second book, “You Are Not Alone,” became an Amazon #1 Best Seller in North America and the UK and is a Bronze medal recipient in the Global Book Awards. Doug lost his wife, Debra, to cancer in 2021 and has been dealing with grief since then. His lived experience has provided him with a unique look at grief and the realization that grief does impact your mental health. “The Silent Pandemic”- releasing in April 2025 - Speaks to how grief can be a part of your mental health challenges. It touches on how cancer can be viewed as a pandemic, with it being the number 1 cause of death in the world today. With each death comes more grief, pain, and suffering and a further impact on one's mental health.Doug has worked with organizations to establish mentoring programs/mentoring cultures and provides one-on-one professional mentoring with people at all levels in an organization on an international basis.Doug's Practice of Mentoring continues to grow and has resulted in his accumulation of 3,400 hours of mentoring (in person and virtual), 235 hours of speaking opportunities and 672 hours teaching others how to effectively mentor.He has worked with researchers to examine the role of mentoring as a support for those struggling with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). His experience in law enforcement, coupled with working with people as a mentor who are suffering from PTSD, has afforded him a unique view of mentoring and PTSD.His personal story is one that is compelling and it fuels his passion about wanting to help others.His book, “The Silent Pandemic” came from research and lived experience that Doug has acquired. He realized the all too often stigma of people being afraid to ask for help, afraid to step out of the closet and say, “I need help.” Dealing with grief can be a physically and mentally draining experience. To have to deal with that alone makes it all that much harder. Through all of this, Doug's passion is contagious. He is committed to helping organizations and people be successful no matter the challenges that they are facing. He has dedicated his life to the mentoring of others and helping them with their healing journey.Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/doug.lawrence.1610/LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/douglawrence-mentorTwitter: @DougLawrenceJMYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCE4YC1GkfHrQtFYgYrf8baQWebsite: https://www.talentc.caBook: “You Are Not Alone” - Amazon: https://amzn.to/3QcCa1aLearn more about your host, Kim Lengling:www.kimlenglingauthor.comDon't forget to Like/Subscribe/Rate and do all the things so we can continue to toss out Nuggets of Hope!

Redefining Mindsets and Building Community In this week's Team Never Quit Podcast, Marcus and Melanie's guest is Earl Granville, a true testament to resilience, leadership, and the power of positive mindset. Earl shares his transformative journey from trauma to triumph, offering listeners insights into how to redefine their own mindset to create the space for positive shifts in life. He discusses stepping out of your comfort zone, becoming the leader you are meant to be, and the critical importance of building and maintaining a healthy community. Earl's story is nothing short of inspiring. Just two weeks into basic training at Fort Benning, GA, with his twin brother Joe, the tragic events of 9/11 unfolded, marking a pivotal moment in his life. Earl went on to serve nine years as an Infantryman in the Army National Guard, with multiple deployments to Bosnia, Iraq, and Afghanistan. During his final tour, Earl lost his left leg below the knee due to a roadside bomb, and tragically, he also lost two of his teammates, Major Scott Hagerty and Specialist Derek Holland, on that same day. After the loss of his limb in combat and the passing of his brother Joe, who took his own life while serving on active duty, Earl discovered the power of a positive mindset and became a passionate advocate for mental health, physical fitness, and resilience. He continues his journey as a public speaker, traveling the country to share his story and motivate others to overcome challenges. In addition to speaking, Earl works with several non-profits like Operation Enduring Warrior, the Oscar Mike Foundation, and WarriorStrong, all of which help wounded veterans and law enforcement officers stay physically active post-injury. Earl's efforts have earned him numerous awards, including the 2018 Attorney General Heart So Big Award, the Junior Chamber International (JCI USA) TOYA Award, and the 2018 Daughters of the American Revolution Veterans Volunteer Award. He retired as a Staff Sergeant with multiple honors, including the Bronze Star, Purple Heart, and Combat Infantryman Badge. Tune in to hear how Earl Granville's story of overcoming adversity and his commitment to positive change can inspire you to face your own challenges with resilience, build stronger connections, and lead a life of purpose. In This Episode You Will Hear: • One good thing about these conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan is that we've had a lot of people in their 20s and 30s that were losing limbs that causes technology to be boosted. (3:48) • The amputee's best friend is your Allen wrench. (7:03) • [At] NYPD, the culture today is like the modern day Vietnam veteran. (21:09) • Joining the military made it about me.

(37:27) • There's pride that people take when tragedy happens. It's what the community does to honor those who aren't here anymore. (42:52) • I remember going over the headset talking to my guys like “Damn, it's beautiful here, look at this green grass. Who's water the grass in Afghanistan?” The next thing I remember, I saw nothing but black. (65:52) • I was ejected out of my Humvee and I wasn't wearing mu gunner's harness which probably saved my life, because the roof peeled back like a tuna can. (70:04) • Everything happened right in my situation. I really do feel that way. What do I have to complain about? (70:20) • Afghans don't have the will to fight. (76:26) • Have you ever met an Afghan or an Iraqi with an Iraqi flag or an Afghan flag tattoo? (76:43) • I went under for surgery on my hip, and I woke up in Germany, with a nurse pulling a breathing tube out of my throat. (79:02) • Joe [my twin brother] seeing me in this state, says to me: “I shoulda just gone with you. (84:23) • It's not forever. I'm gonna get my independence back. I'm gonna be walking again, cause it's not forever. (96:08) • While on active duty, my twin brother, Staff Sergeant Joe Granville, takes his own life. (97:57) • How do I get this second chance at life, and Joe [my twin brother] take his away? (98:08) • Not every mental health situation with an armed forces service member is PTSD related. (109:00) • The big thing people need is purpose – military or not. (110:29) • I found this passion of physical fitness once again thanks to being introduced to Crossfit. (120:41) • People you surround yourself with, I truly believe, makes who you are.
