It is our pleasure to bring you our interview with author and documentarian Sebastian Junger. Sebastian is known for his work on the documentary Restrepo, or from his books: The Perfect Storm, War, Fire and Tribe.

Sebastian has been an embedded journalist in Afghanistan pre 9/11, on 9/11 and now post 9/11. It is this unique perspective on hardship, battle and comradery that has influenced his work with film and his writing. Time and time again Sebastian has put himself into harms way to share the story of those who are living it.

Sebastian now works on his passion project- Reports Instructed on Saving Colleagues (RISC): focusing on teaching combat first aid to reporters and providing first kits. He was moved to help after his colleague and friend Tim Heatherington was killed from a wound sustained while reporting in Libya.

Bryan Turner is following his dream: becoming a full-time soccer coach/trainer. His academy, No Stress Midwest, is taking the Kansas City area by storm. Now we wait until his prodigies represent USA at the professional level.

Separately, we dive into all things World Cup, including: bracket busters, the white stuff on the field, the difference between Panama and Trinidad & Tobago because we clearly don't know, soccer celebrations and the legendary careers of Messi and Ronaldo.

Mike Schiavone and Mike DiFran dive deeper into "The Greater Good", their original thoughts, what it is and what it is to become. This is a concept that will ultimately give a person the tools to allow them to accomplish the things they set out to accomplish.

Exclusive one on one interview with Lieutenant Colonel Spencer Wallace. Before his current assignment as the Deputy Director, Army Protocol, LTC Wallace served as the Regimental Executive Officer for the 3rd US Infantry Regiment, and Battalion Executive Officer for 4th Battalion, 3rd US Infantry Regiment, the official ceremonial escort to the President of the United States.

Spencer and I met in Washington, D.C. for the 3rd Annual Vetty's (Episode 19!!) in January and had a chance to catch up. Spencer goes into his background, his service and his role now and how he views his career as a professional and in his personal life.

We make our biggest announcement yet (click to listen)and discuss the concept of embracing debate by separating opinions and facts.

Oh, and there might be a reference or two to the greatest sports debate of all time: LeBron vs. Jordan.

Enjoy our 26th episode of The Good Network!
