It has finally arrived. After weeks of work the first Group Coalition podcast is finally live. For Episode 1 of the Group Podcast I decided to invite John McPhee, aka The Sheriff of Baghdad, onto the show. A former US Army Special Operations Sergeant Major, John is one of the most respected men in the firearms community. His handgun classes are extremely well respected and he is regarded as one of the best teachers in the industry. John tells it how it is and has years of real world experience to back up every word. Listen to the episode to find out more about John and how a real operator thinks. Find out more about John’s firearms classes and openings here: Gunfighter University John’s Condom Holster: Condom Holster (Photo of John McPhee by shootersmagazine.com. Podcast intro and outro music by SandWHO.)

On this episode I am talking with former Delta Force operator, Tom Satterly, and his wife, Jen Satterly. Tom spent 20 years with Delta Force, and like some of the other guests I have had on, Tom was part of the Battle of Mogadishu, which many people know as the Black Hawk Down incident. Jen was a photographer assigned to document special operations when she met Tom. The two were eventually married. Together, they run the All Secure Foundation, which helps victims of PTSD in various ways, including retreats; which we get into on the episode. Tom has written a book called All Secure, and Jen has written a book called Arsenal of Hope, both of which I highly recommend you check out.

On this episode I am talking with someone quite special: Jason Beighley. Jason served in the most elite special operations unit in the US Army, where he took part in the Battle of Mogadishu (Black Hawk Down), and was later project lead for designing the Heckler & Koch HK416. Jason talks about his service and his work with HK in helping design the 416. Jason is mellow, understated, and a joy to talk to. Sit back, enjoy the episode, and learn a thing or two from an elite soldier. GroupCoalition.comInstagram: @GroupCoalitionTikTok: @GroupCoalition

Kyle Lamb is a Delta Force veteran, notably of the “Black Hawk Down” mission. He now runs his company Viking Tactics, where he offers firearm products and training to the shooting community. Kyle is also an instructor for the Sig Sauer Academy. On the episode, Kyle talks with me about his family lineage, history, his experiences in the military, and Viking Tactics. Kyle is a fantastic and highly intelligent gentleman, and I am beyond grateful that he was on the podcast. @vikingtacticsvikingtactics.com Instagram: @groupcoalitionTikTok: @groupcoalitionGroupCoalition.com

On this episode I talk with Kyle Defoor: a Steve McQueen fan, watch aficionado, Navy SEAL sniper, and Blackwater weapons instructor, who is now a shooting instructor with his own company, Defoor Proformance Shooting. We talk about Steve McQueen movies, watches, his upbringing, his path to becoming a SEAL, his weapons as a sniper, his gear, the War on Terror, companies like Arc’teryx and Patagonia (and why he now likes Mountain Hardwear), his time with Blackwater as a shooting instructor, and Defoor Proformace Shooting. This was a great talk and I hope you enjoy it. www.kyledefoor.comdefoor-proformance-shooting.myshopify.comInstagram: @defoorproformanceshooting
