In this episode, David Burnell reflects on two of the most powerful words we can live by: remember and necessity. Drawing from years of operational experience in military service, rescue missions, and running the Urban Warfare Center, David shares how the principle of necessity—identifying and acting on the single most important next step—can cut through chaos and bring clarity.

From high-pressure tactical training to navigating today’s noisy, overstimulated world, necessity becomes the compass that points us toward what truly matters—whether it’s political action, personal restoration, or simply drinking a glass of water. Through vivid stories and hard-earned lessons, David challenges listeners to strip away the unnecessary and focus on what will make the greatest difference, right now.
