Like a Man w/ Miles Nielsen

In this episode of Like a Man, we talk with planetary scientist and BYU professor Dr. Jani Radebaugh. As a world explorer and Science Team member of the Dragonfly mission to Titan, Dr. Radebaugh shares how the drive to explore—from distant moons like Titan to the most remote deserts on Earth—shapes our understanding of the universe and ourselves.

Whether you're charting new terrain in life or just trying to rediscover your spark, this conversation reminds us that the world is still full of wonder.

In this episode of Like a Man, we take a deep dive into naval leadership, and global readiness with Commander Salamander — a respected voice in national defense circles, blogger on Substack, and co-host of the Midrats podcast.

From the command bridge to the geopolitical chessboard, we explore the strategic importance of leadership in the U.S. Navy and what it truly means to lead under pressure. Commander Salamander shares powerful insights on decision-making in isolation, leading in high-stakes environments, and how centuries of naval wisdom can teach today’s men to lead with clarity, courage, and long-term vision.

Whether you're a student of history, a fan of military strategy, or a man seeking to sharpen your leadership edge, this episode will give you practical takeaways wrapped in hard-earned experience.

In this hard-hitting episode of Like a Man, we go behind the scenes with veteran SWAT commander and OpTempo Training's Matt Harden to talk about what it really takes to lead when lives are on the line. From tactical training to decision-making in chaotic moments, we explore how elite teams operate under extreme pressure — and what kind of leadership holds it all together.

We dig into how SWAT teams prepare for the worst-case scenario, what separates a good leader from a great one when time is measured in seconds, and how the same principles used in high-stress missions can be applied to your life, career, and family.

This isn’t Hollywood — it’s raw, real-world leadership forged in the fire. If you’ve ever wondered what it means to stay calm under pressure, lead when the stakes are highest, or build trust in a team where hesitation can cost lives, this is your episode.

What happens when you remove the org chart and let the mission lead? In this episode of Like a Man, we sit down with the Nantan of F3 Nation—the national leader of a movement that has redefined how men lead, serve, and grow together.

F3 (Fitness, Fellowship, and Faith) is built on a decentralized leadership model that empowers men at the grassroots level. There are no paid positions. No titles that come with perks. Just men taking ownership of their communities, sharpening each other, and accelerating their impact. It’s a model that flies in the face of traditional command-and-control leadership—and it’s working.
