Losing our countrymen in war is something that is we have to deal with, but one we accept in that it’s a necessary evil to combat those who wish us harm. When those deaths are clouded in controversy, it makes it incredibly tough to accept. I sat down with green beret Gold star widow Michelle Black, to talk about her search for the truth after her husband was killed in Niger.

Active police K9 handlers are usually at the tip of the spear when it comes to dealing with the toughest calls. I sat down with Kyle Shoberg, who’s spent 14 years as a police officer - and half of that as a handler. We get in to the difficulties of policing in such a polarized political climate and also numerous shootouts he’s been in during his tenure.

The discipline required to be an effective sniper is similar to the discipline required to be a successful entrepreneur. I sat down with former Navy SEAL sniper and Bottle Breacher CEO Eli Crane to discuss his time in the teams, going on the show “Shark Tank”, and the transition into being a businessman after his career.

I’ve had the honor to meet many a strong independent women in my life, and this episode was no exception. I sat down with Hollie McKay, author of “Only Cry For The Living” who has spent years covering the war torn Iraq/Syria region of the Middle East at the height of the ISIS onslaught. It was both inspiring and gut wrenching all at the same time, and really gave me a perspective reset that is always powerful and necessary to appreciate what we have and where we live.

The Duality of Service when completing 10 combat deployments with development group, all while being a staunch Christian is delicate yet impressive balance. I had the honor of sitting down with AMTAC shooting owner Bill Rapier, where we discussed his time serving in one of the most prestigious units in existence, growing up overseas, his family and faith, and living off the grid in Northern Idaho. Super interesting life of one hell of a warrior.

Since the beginning of combat, weather has played an enormous role in how it's won and lost. Countless souls have been lost due to miscalculations of weather and it’s impacts on the battlefield. In this episode, I sat down with an active duty Air Force Special Warfare Weatherman. From being in gunfights alongside green berets, to missing windows of helo extract that results in being snowed in for 2 days, a fascinating look at a very small and elite, yet vitally important element of this nations war-fighting tip of the spear.
