You'd best strap in and tune out the distraction around you.

If you want the no BS of what being a Tier 1 Operator looks like in a warzone, this is it.

Dave is very open and vulnerable in our chat, not only about his extreme experiences in combat during the Iraq war, but also about what happens outside the battlefield.

We discuss killing, faith, dealing with childhood trauma and how we move forward in spite of all of those.

Mike Dowling is a former United States Marine Corps K9 handler.

He served in the early stages of the Iraq war, most notably the Battle for Fallujah.

The battle itself has seared its way into USMC history and Mike and his K9, Rex, are a part of that history forever.

We discuss the loss of friends, being at Boot Camp on 9/11 2001 and his place in the world after leaving the Corps.

Enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed chatting to Mike.

Semper Fi!

This episode I speak with Mick Corlett. 

Mick is a former soldier, police officer and security contractor. 

Mick has been a dog handler, a tactical police officer and fulfilled many training roles in multiple organisations. 

Mick is currently employed in an Australian Agency that we have excluded from this episode for personal and operational reasons. 

His story includes death and violence, deployments to warzones, mental performance struggles, organisational frustrations, the loss of friends and much more. 

Mike Nezbeth is the owner and founder of Grassroots K9.

He is most known for his impressive decoy skills and is highly regarded as one of the best.

We chat about his upbringing and how a diagnosis of Asperger's has allowed him to harness his obsession with dogs, psychology and learning theory into a successful business and passion.

Mike was an absolute pleasure to chat to and you will most definitely enjoy this episode.

Mike Jones is a man who has overcome adversity, time and time again.

We talk about his early life and the influences of growing up in East San Hose and how brushes with the law saw him self reflect and turn him into the man he is today.

He has shown his worth in the K9 industry repeatedly both in his pet training, decoy work and his new mission 'The Fight' to help survivors of human trafficking in their recovery.

We thoroughly enjoyed recording this and we know you'll love listening!
