SOFLETE Performance

SOFLETE HQ is proud to welcome our new friend Dwayne Taylor to the studio. Dwayne is a world class BJJ practitioner, polymath, and overall rad dude.

We're proud to help pre-release "You", a track from Silence & Light's debut album. We can use this as text on the blog post as well. Formed in May of 2017 in New York City, Silence & Light draws from their musical pasts and their experiences as U.S. Special Operations veterans and set out to create music music that would raise awareness about the myriad issues facing veterans of the Global War on Terror and civil first responders, and to create a mechanism to support organizations that support those individuals in times of need. We are a modern hard rock band whose sole purpose is to inspire the people of the world who have endured the thrills of great success and high achievement and the lows of life's hardships and struggles to channel their energy into creating something positive and meaningful. In January 2019, Silence & Light recorded their debut EP at Stagg Street Studios in Van Nuys, California under the direction of Grammy Award-winning Producer, Josh Gudwin, and Studio Engineer Bil Lane. Silence & Light is committed to contributing profits from its music sales to numerous Charitable Organizations designed to help support the members and families of the Special Operations community, as well as first responders. In keeping with their mission, proceeds from music sales for their first album will be contributed to Warriors Heart and the Marine Raider Foundation.

George and friend of SOFLETE Chase Ford discuss mindset and training for endurance events.

Back by popular demand is one of our original, poorly recorded podcasts. This episode explores the topic of sociopathic tendencies in special operations and other careers and activities that demand high levels of risk tolerance and management.

George sits with BJ and Jessica of YogiTriathlete. If you are the person who digs the mindfulness, meditation, quantum energy, and the story of why we make the transition into this deeper realm of thinking when we are able to actually find self-actualization. Jess gets deep into her rock bottom, and how she was able to make that switch into this powerful human being. She is doing some amazing things to help others. BJ story is a bit unique, he comes from the world of having it all, but not happy, injury from the past crimpled him into this deep hole that he had to figure out a way out. Jess was a huge part of this, as he had to really do it himself. This show is not just mind-opening, but will also bring some gratitude and vulnerability to your day after listening to it. If you want to check them out on IG @yogitriathlete and give them a follow.

George sits with the Billy "The 100-mile Slayer" Richards who is currently looking to break the record for consecutive 100 miles in 1 year, he is also a Veteran. The show isn't what you think. Billy faces different challenges than just running more than 40+ 100 miles in 2019. If you like to find out more about Billy please check out Billy Richards on Facebook.

One of the top tactical gear manufacturers in the game, Adam Holroyd, stopped in to talk about all the awesome stuff he's been up to, the perils of growing a business, and where the tactical industry is headed.

George sits with Vernon Griffth who is the Co-Owner/Founder of Virginia High Performance in Virginia Beach. Vernon is no stranger to training the tactical athlete. George and Vernon dive deep into the misconceptions of training the tactical athlete, plus they enjoy some rabbit holes that we are sure you guys will enjoy. We also get deep into how Vernon looks at exploring the corners of human movement. We get into talking about what our foundation truly is, and it ain't what you would think, something most people wouldn't even think to help strengthen and work on as well. Strap yourself in for a show of the year!

To our surprise, Brad and Tyson of the awesome SOF band Silence and Light stopped by the office to chat about all things music.

Don't listen if you don't want to spoil Midsommar for yourself. Better still, just don't listen at all. That's what I do.
