1 hr 51 min - Ep.39: Karl Krahn - It’s not Failure if You Don’t Quit
Learning to deal with adversity is understanding that you haven't failed if you don't give up.
A positive attitude will bring us all to a greater position in life.
Karl Krahn separated from the Navy as an EODCS at 19 years. The first 17 years of his career were marked with success after success. He served in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Philippines as an EOD Operator after spending some time in the fleet as an ET. The job is intense and built up stressors that compounded with his personal life, as it does for many of us. During the last few years those boiled over and caused an early exit.
Not one to give up, he pushed through, got the help he needed, and was able to purchase a franchise with a fitness company. Through that business, Karl was able to build a community. Not without its own struggles, the community is something that he thrived in.
His journey from EOD to the civilian sector shows us that the objective in life is to look forward and keep pushing. Our past struggles can be used for future strength.
I had an amazing conversation with Karl that was and is motivation to me.

1 hr 24 min - Ep. 37: Brian Kirk - Building the Quality of Person You Want to Be
Episode 37 is with Brian Kirk, a US Navy Reserve Commander who served 11 years on active duty as a Navy EOD Officer. During his active duty time, he deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan and spent significant time in Korea. He shares stories from his combat deployments, some funny and some serious. He also talks about the transition to a civilian job and what the Naval Reserves has done for him.
I went through EOD school with Brian, some of the most memorable times I’ve had in EOD. We reminisce on those times, share some stories, and purposely leave out names. We all know our exploits during that time could come back to haunt us.

2 hr 3 min - Ep. 36: Tod Neal - The Strength a Hard Life Teaches
Tod Neal, a 30-year Navy Veteran who retired as a Senior Chief EOD Operator, joins me for episode 36 of the podcast. Growing up in a Methodist children’s home, he had a tough childhood. While struggling with direction, he found toughness and learned he wouldn’t quit.
Tod joined the Navy in 1991 and even before he joined EOD his courage under fire was tested. After finding out about EOD and being selected to go through training, Tod flourished. EOD was where he belonged. Being tested over and over again in combat, he always rose to the occasion. Trouble seemed to find him, some would say he was unlucky, but he always bested it and came out on top.

EODCS James Hebert (Eh Bear) joins me in Episode 31 where he talks about a variety of EOD topics experienced over his 20 years of service. One subject that is brought up frequently in this episode is the importance of mental health.

His first IED call, an unlikely group reporting a weapons cache and the ensuing shenanigans, almost getting shot, along with stories from times with the boy’s. This episode has it all.
I was honored to sit down with James and take some nuggets for myself. Enjoy.
