- Jiu-Jitsu Legend Draculino On Growing Up With The Gracies, Fighting The Best, & Lessons On The Mat
Before Brazilian jiu-jitsu became a global sport, Vinicius “Draculino” Magalhães was a kid surfing alongside the Gracies in Brazil. The people he grew up around would help shape martial arts history — and he would become part of that story himself. He went from watching his idols to facing them in competitions.
In this episode of The Resilient Show, Chad sits down with his former instructor to revisit a lifetime on the mats. Chad knows firsthand what it’s like to learn from Draculino, and that shared history makes this conversation personal. Between the laughs and old stories, you get to know a fierce competitor who now finds some of his greatest pride in what his students accomplish outside the gym.
KEY TOPICS:
Growing up alongside the Gracies and finding jiu-jitsu through surfing
The early Brazilian competition scene
Facing his idols and competing against the best
The devastating injury that nearly cost him his leg
Chad’s years training under Draculino
The danger of treating black belts like life gurus
How modern jiu-jitsu has changed (and sometimes not for the better)
Faith, friendship, and finding purpose through teaching

1 hr 53 min - How To Survive After America’s Power Grid Collapses
The U.S. grid gets taken down by an enemy and the entire country goes dark. No phones. No ATMs. No gas pumps. No grocery deliveries. No running water. What now?That question drives Part 2 of our conversation with Jonathan Hollerman. Part 1 exposed how easily the grid could be attacked. Now Jon walks Chad through what he would actually do to survive it.
Over the next hour and a half, Jon builds a survival plan from the ground up. First, he explains what you need to do now while the lights are still on. Then he walks through the decisions that could keep your family alive once the grid collapses and America descends into a Mad Max scenario — from escaping the city to storing food to choosing weapons, and everything in between.
KEY TOPICS:
What Jonathan witnessed during a nationwide grid-down war game
Why the military and FEMA lack a plan for a nationwide outage
How true is the claim that 90% of Americans could die within one year in a grid-down scenario?
Why military bases depend on the civilian electrical grid
America’s high-voltage transformers and years-long replacement times
Physical attacks, cyberattacks, solar storms, and nuclear EMPs
How few critical targets could trigger a nationwide blackout
Concerns surrounding Chinese-built transformers inside the U.S. grid
The policy failures that have left America’s infrastructure exposed
What it would take to begin hardening the national grid

1 hr 29 min - America’s Power Grid Is Dangerously Exposed And NOBODY Has A Backup Plan
Most Americans assume the electrical grid is protected — and that if it ever failed, the military or federal government would step in. Jonathan Hollerman once wrongly assumed the same thing.
That changed after he participated in a nationwide grid-down war game at Maxwell Air Force Base alongside federal agencies, military branches and utility experts. Jonathan walked away convinced that the safety net Americans expect simply isn’t there. And worse, any attack on the grid would be absolutely catastrophic to the American people.
In part one of this two-part conversation, Jonathan joins Chad to explain why America’s power grid may be the country’s greatest weakness, how quickly a nationwide failure could become catastrophic, and why decades of warnings have produced so little action.

1 hr 6 min - He Was Training To Become A Navy SEAL When 9/11 Changed Everything
Rich Graham spent years learning how to fight at the highest level. He earned his Trident at 20, served as a sniper with SEAL Team 10, trained in martial arts for decades, and eventually built a career teaching others how to protect themselves. But his biggest realization was that tactical skill alone doesn’t make someone a complete warrior.
In this episode, Rich joins Chad to take us inside his life with SEAL Teams and the experiences that shaped his Full Spectrum Warrior philosophy. They get into firearms, combatives, physical readiness, mindset, and preparedness — but also the personal cost of constantly chasing the next achievement. It's a raw and real conversation with someone who reached the summit most men dream about and discovered it still wasn’t enough.
KEY TOPICS:
Why Rich originally joined the Navy to hunt drug cartels
Hearing America was going to war while in SEALs training on 9/11
How the intensity and purpose of training changed overnight
Earning the SEAL Trident at only 20 years old
Deploying as a sniper with SEAL Team 10
The “broken dudes” hiding behind elite achievement
Building the Full Spectrum Warrior philosophy
Faith, family, service, and life beyond the SEAL Teams

2 hr 16 min - Carlson Gracie Jr. On The Origins Of BJJ, The UFC, And The Gracie Family Legacy
This one is personal for Chad. He sits down with his longtime professor — Carlson Gracie Jr. — for a conversation about the family and the art that have shaped the world of fighting. Carlson shares stories about his grandfather Carlos Gracie, his father Carlson Gracie Sr., the early days of Vale Tudo and the UFC, and what it was like growing up inside one of the most influential families in martial arts.
Very few people can talk about the evolution of BJJ from this close to the source. Carlson grew up around the people who built it, competed through a very different era, and has spent the decades since watching the art change in ways his father probably never could have imagined.
Key Topics:
Growing up inside the Gracie family legacy
Carlson Gracie Sr.’s impact on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Vale Tudo
The fights that helped build the Gracie name
How the early UFC changed Brazilian jiu-jitsu
Why Royce Gracie was chosen for the UFC
What made Carlson Gracie’s academy different
Old-school BJJ vs. modern competition jiu-jitsu
What Carlson thinks modern BJJ is losing
Why self-defense still matters
Why belts matter less than development
What jiu-jitsu teaches about losing and resilience

1 hr 9 min - America Could LOSE Its Place At The Top Of The World Order As Warfare Changes
War is changing faster than most people realize, and Dave Cosnotti has seen it firsthand. After more than two decades in Army Special Forces, Dave now works alongside American and allied forces on modern national security challenges involving drones, AI, cyber warfare, critical infrastructure, and the rapidly evolving battlefield.
Dave’s biggest warning isn’t that America has already lost its edge — it’s that being on top today guarantees nothing about tomorrow. Warfare is evolving too quickly for old advantages to last forever, and the next world order may belong to whoever learns, adapts, and moves fastest when the rules change.
Key Topics:
- How AI, drones, and cyber warfare are changing the battlefield
- Why Ukraine is becoming a testing ground for the future of war
- Why Dave says Russia is still an enemy of the United States
- How China has played a longer geopolitical game than America
- Why America’s four-year political cycles can create a strategic disadvantage
- The growing threat to America’s power grid and critical infrastructure
- What happens if communications, power, or supply chains go offline
- Why future wars may target civilians and infrastructure as much as militaries
- Why humans still matter more than technology on the battlefield
- Why Dave believes the next 3–5 years could be especially turbulent

1 hr 55 min - MKUltra NEVER ENDED! Whistleblower EXPOSES The New Age Of Mind Control (Human Chipping, Telepathy, & More!)
MKUltra is supposed to be a dark chapter of American history that closed decades ago. James Martinez doesn’t believe it ever really ended. He argues the experiments simply evolved — from drugs, hypnosis, and behavioral conditioning into technologies capable of collecting brain data, influencing behavior, and potentially reaching directly into the human mind.
James has unique views, built upon decades of studying MKUltra. What follows is a conversation shaped by that worldview — skeptical of official narratives, deeply suspicious of where technology is taking us, and willing to go places most people wouldn’t even consider.
Key Topics:
What MKUltra was actually designed to accomplish
Why James believes the program never truly ended
How mind-control technology may have evolved since MKUltra
Human chipping and brain-computer interfaces
What happens when thoughts and brain activity become data
Why James calls cell phones “training wheels” for telepathy
His theories about engineered public personalities and “Manchurian candidates”
Why he believes some alien abductions were artificially created
AI, cloned voices, deepfakes, and manufactured evidence
The technological ruling class James believes is shaping human behavior and the whole world
Transhumanism and the potential merging of humans with machines
Why James ultimately sees what’s coming as a spiritual battle
This is an action-packed episode! You may not agree with every conclusion James reaches, but you’ll probably come away thinking differently about how much power technology could eventually have over the human mind.

1 hr 48 min - He’s Worked With Delta Force, CIA, Apple, & Nike. Here’s What The Best Do Differently
Justin Klahn has spent more than two decades inside some of the most demanding environments in the world — from Nike and Apple to DARPA, the CIA, and Delta Force. His job has been the same no matter where he goes: find the real problem, bring the right people in, and figure out what separates a good solution from a breakthrough.
In this episode of The Resilient Show, Chad sits down with Justin to unpack what he’s learned from working around elite performers, operators, executives, innovators, and fighters. They talk about why the best aren’t afraid to fail, how high-performing teams attack hard problems, why execution matters more than having all the answers, and what happens when driven people realize they can’t control every outcome.
Key Topics:
- What Justin learned working with Delta Force/CAG, Nike, Apple, DARPA, and the CIA
- The problem-solving principle: “Solving the wrong problem well still fails”
- How failure builds resilience and exposes the next level you need to reach
- Why execution separates people who know what to do from people who actually get results
- The importance of identifying the real problem instead of treating symptoms
- How martial arts shaped Chad and Justin’s views on discipline, suffering, and performance
- What he learned sitting inside high-pressure rooms with figures like Kanye West
- Why fear and the need for control can affect even the most capable people
- How faith and surrender changed Justin’s understanding of resilience
The environments may look completely different, but Justin keeps seeing the same principles show up at the highest levels. He shares it all on this episode!

1 hr 49 min - Navy SEAL Craig “Sawman” Sawyer: From DEVGRU To The War Against Child Trafficking
Craig “Sawman” Sawyer spent years operating at the highest levels of the military and federal government. But the fight that would come to define his life didn’t begin at DEVGRU or as a Federal Air Marshal — it began when he turned his attention to child trafficking.
In this episode of The Resilient Show, Chad sits down with one of his personal military heroes for a deeply personal conversation about Craig’s journey from the SEAL Teams to founding Veterans For Child Rescue. Craig explains what first opened his eyes to the scale of child trafficking in America, how his daughter Aspen was abducted and raped shortly after he launched the organization, and why her decision to fight back only strengthened their mission.
Key Topics:
- Craig’s path from the Marine Corps to the Navy SEALs and DEVGRU
- Why he believes a true warrior’s job is to protect- The founding of Veterans For Child Rescue
- The night Craig learned his 18-year-old daughter had been abducted and raped
- How Aspen helped put her attacker in prison for 38 years- What Craig has learned about childhood trauma from survivors and veterans
- Why he believes good men can’t sit on the sidelines while evil wins
- Faith, masculinity, spiritual warfare, and the responsibility to protect the vulnerable
- Craig’s surprising perspective on UFO's
Craig spent his career preparing to confront evil overseas. Today, he believes one of the most important battles is happening much closer to home — and that every person has a role to play in protecting those who can’t protect themselves.

1 hr 44 min - The FOREIGN TAKEOVER Of America’s Food And Farms
America can’t be resilient if it can’t feed itself — and Patrick Montgomery believes we’ve handed far too much control of our food supply to everyone but American farmers.
In this episode of The Resilient Show, Chad sits down with the former Army Ranger and KC Cattle Company founder for a blunt conversation about the disappearing American farm, foreign influence over our meat industry, and why food supply needs to be treated as national security.
Key Topics:
- Why American farms are disappearing
- China’s influence over the U.S. pork industry
- Brazil’s growing control over American beef
- Why America has fewer cattle despite a much larger population
- The aging American farmer and the missing next generation
- What COVID exposed about our fragile food supply
- Why food supply is national security
Americans have gotten used to food always being there. Patrick’s warning is simple: if we lose the ability to feed our own people and military, everything else becomes secondary.
