Brian Dolan is a hockey player. OK, that's true, but he's much more than that. He's a genius in using math to solve problems. Brian's company is called Verdant.ai their mission is to help solve the world's most complex problems. 

Sandra Ponce De Leon is a producer and co-host on this episode- though Pete doesn't let her get in a single question. We suggest that's because Sandra NAILED it on finding such an intriguing guest. We'll surely have more episodes with Brian in the future.

David White, a veteran, drank himself to death in June 2020. Scott Huesing, a life-long friend of David's decided to ride his motorcycle to the funeral. From this was born the #RidefortheBrave.

Gabby is one of our favorite guests we've had on the BIDS It's easy to look at Gabby and see a perfect life: Homes in Malibu, Hawaii, a marriage to a surfing legend-but Gabby reveals much more about her self in her latest podcast.

Gabby understands the power of being vulnerable, fillable and able to grow or learn...and that's what she reveals in herself and with her guests on her latest podcast. Jon Leon Guerrero and Pete A Turner do what they do 2nd best and get a great conversation that nobody else gets

Gabby Reece has the most perfect imperfect life.  She's a specimen of an athlete, mother, and wife, and like the rest of us, she struggles to keep all of it in balance.  She may also be the sweetest person you'd ever want to whoop your ass into shape.  Gabby takes some time to tell us about how it all starts with breathing, how her new podcast, The Truth Barrel on Podcast One, came to be, and how she'll cook the veneer right off of anyone who steps in.  Great lady, great episode.

We love having Mark Pellington on the show. Today the Petes; Koch and Turner sit with Mark to talk about COVID and how it's holding up the movie-making process. Mark notes that the union has to be convinced that making movies is a safe thing to do. Given a staff of 150 people on a movie that Mark might create...it gets tricky. Also, and this is fun, Pete Koch and Mark were in college at the same time at rival universities. It's not often that side of Mark is revealed...but that's why we listen to BIDS

Brad Hauter is a doer. Currently, Brad is the head coach of the DePauw University's Men's soccer team. As a coach, he's a smashing success winning over 60% of the games his team plays. Brad is also an author, writing a book on counterterrorism. He's also produced TV shows--and rode a lawnmower across the nation, TWICE! raising money for a charity focused on homelessness in Chicago. Brad and Pete A Turner talk on the BIDS about what it takes to push through adversity and make something special of yourself.

JB Lion brings us a fantastic chat discussing his visual novels. The Seventh Spark series grew from conversations and storytelling with his sons. Pete A Turner and JB sit down and give us insight not only into Lion's world...but also on black issues in the US. We didn't know the two would explore the topic...but sure enough...they did and we're glad for it.

Chad Michael Collins returns for another visit to the Break It Down Show. Chad is hosted by Best Selling author Scott Huesing and Pete A Turner. The three discuss Chad's COVID life, which consists of home workouts and playing Call of Duty. Chad plays the character Alex in the latest version of the game. We recommend that fans of the game look for Chad, as Alex, live on Call of Duty on Twitch. 

Also, Chad and Tom Berringer reprise their roles in the Sony Sniper franchise with "Sniper: Assassins End."

When terrorist groups like ANTIFA claims that because they are decentralized, therefore, it's not possible to analyze the group...they ignored dudes like Erik Kleinsmith. Erik is an expert on analysis, especially with decentralized groups. 

Erik served as Pete's commander during their deployment to Bosnia in the 90's. We're fortunate to have Erik join us to explain why groups like ANTIFA are no different than any other group that seeks to harm fellow Americans.

Jo Jorgensen is the Libertarian party's candidate for President. She's on the ballot in every state. When we ask for better options, or a 3rd party, well, here's Jo with the solution to the problem. Jon Leon Guerrero and Pete A Turner host Jo on a conversation that explores her platform as a candidate for president of the US. Jo's approach to government is to create reduce the governement's influence on one's life and liberty. Given our choices for US president, we're glad to vote for JO!!!
