  • Top notch

    As a civilian who has always been fascinated with SOF and aspired to try out for the Green Berets before health problems derailed that dream, this podcast has been an incredible window into that world. Brent is a great interviewer, and the range of guests from across the SOF world and beyond speaks to his credibility in the community.

    I'd love to hear interviews with some more AF, CIA, and RRC guys. It would be great to hear from someone who was in ISA as well.

    You should not have broken up the original podcast with the boys(your cop friends). This new podcast is pretty boring.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ranger K9 Handler Trent McDonald |Tier1 Live
Q: Will robots replace dogs in combat?
The panel agrees that while drone technology will expand capabilities, humans will still be necessary for on-the-ground decision-making and handling unexpected situations; a full replacement of dogs is unlikely in the foreseeable future.
Green Beret & Florida Gator Strength Coach, Rusty Whitt | Tier1 Live
Q: How do you translate athletic discipline from sports into military operations or selection processes?
Discipline and structure from sports translate into military contexts through consistent work ethic, adherence to standards, and the ability to execute corrections quickly. Training emphasis on movement, technique, and conditioning helps athletes adapt to high-stress environments by keeping focus on fundamentals and teamwork.
Ryan Hendrickson | Tier1 Podcast
Q: How did Ukraine impact your sense of purpose after Afghanistan?
Ukraine gave him a renewed sense of service and hope, reinforcing the belief that pain can drive positive action and humanitarian work.
Green Beret Ukraine Humanitarian | Tier1 Live
Q: What is the sketchy situation you encountered in Ukraine involving mines or ERW and how did you handle it?
The guest describes encountering a dangerous OZM-72 bounding mine with tight tripwire networks, outlining how such devices create large danger radii and require careful movement and detonation planning to avoid casualties. He explains the differences between bounding mines and Mon-series mines and emphasizes situational awareness and route planning to mitigate risk.
CIA Black Ops | Ric Prado
Q: What motivated you to write the book and how did you handle pushback?
I wanted to present a realistic picture of the agency, its oversight, and the moral high ground, showing that covert work is conducted within strict boundaries and for legitimate purposes; Annie Jacobson helped catalyze the process by convincing him to document his experiences.
