  • Sleeper! And not in a good way

    I wish the names of podcast authors or speakers were listed in podcast information, as I’d avoid anything that this guy does. I previously deleted his spy craft podcast from my list because I don’t like being red too, which seems to be his style. Unfortunately, it does the same thing here, and it creates the most unappealing and disengaging style of podcast. I’ve seen yet.

    In the top 3 podcasts I have ever listened to. A strong candidate for number one but I can’t narrow it down any further.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Infiltration Under the Canopy: The Art of the Invisible Strike
Q: Can you share a story of a mission where your Buds training clearly paid off?
There were missions in the Philippines that were heavily challenging and required staying calm under uncertainty; despite setbacks, the training helped me maintain composure, adapt to jungle warfare, and make decisions that kept my team safe while pursuing complex objectives.
