Paul Alkoby is a Photographer & Filmmaker currently based in Orlando, FL.
"Much of my work is primarily based in the fitness and tactical realms however, I truly believe in creating outside of my comfort zone. Starting as a street photographer, I rapidly realized my passion for using a camera to create images whether still or video. My work has taken me internationally shooting for a wide variety of brands as well as passion projects such as documentaries within the veteran community where my roots are tied. Upon separating from the military, I found myself working in the private sector as a defense contractor which ultimately led me to a path of creativity."

We're back. Sorry for the hiatus. I hate it when podcasts do that, and I became the thing I hated go figure. There are reasons of course, but we've put some plans in place to make sure we never disappear from the face of the earth again.
There is a happy accident in all this, however. Our last episode was with Paul Harrington and our first episode back just so happens to feature Paul again as well, so you're getting back-to-back episodes for your binge listening ease.
Air Force veteran Paul Harrington is the author of the soon to be released Justice or Not: My Experiences as a State Corrections Officer in New York's Prisons.
Paul was injured on the job due to workplace violence - violence committed by another officer. Paul and I discuss the toxicity of working in the prison system, the psychology of working in such an environment for so long and why you never hear of a really motivated corrections officer.

Scott Faith covers down for me and interviews "Miggy", a Ukrainian still in country about what he is seeing and hearing and feeling while under attack from the Russians.
Tom Schueman is an active duty Marine infantry officer with deployments to Afghanistan, Australia and a former English instructor at the Naval Academy. He has accumulated a large following through his Instagram account @kill.z0n3 where he touches on the philosophy, psychology, and intellectual framework of the modern day warfighter and the powers that govern him. In addition, Tom is the founder of PB Abbate, one of the most dynamic and impactful veterans nonprofit to emerge in the past year. Tom has also just launched Lethal Minds Journal. He may be moving the needle more than almost any other field grade officer when it comes to bottom-up development of the veteran and servicemember community right now.

Geoff Dardia couldn’t have been a better guest to have on this week. I realized, after the episode, that we had recorded it on the one-year anniversary of the show. Sure, we had a lot to talk about – Ukraine, the Afghan withdrawl, the state of military readiness in the event of war in Europe…or the South China Sea, the intersection of our kids and military service, but it was great to have Geoff on to discuss since he is exactly the kind of guest that makes Profiles in Havok (and the old Weekly Havok) so popular. In fact, Geoff’s other appearance on the show was on Weekly Havok, so I’m glad we could officially record his “profile”.
If you don’t remember Geoff from his previous appearance…
