SE7 #243 Rick Crosson- 8th Congressional Candiate

Great podcast with my new friend Rick Crosson. Rick is a retired LT. Colonel running for congress for the 8th Congressional district in Wisconsin. Rick and I talked about his 20 years of service in the Army and how he decided to run for congress. This was fun and light hearted. Politics are not our usual type of content but this was just about his vision and mission.

SE7 #242 Michael "Big Drill" Fletcher- Drill Sergeant- OG Iraq Veteran-Afghanistan

My Senior Drill Sergeant from Infantry School Michael Fletcher, drove all the way up from South Carolina for a podcast and to chase some geese with me. Exactly 19 years ago, I graduated Infantry School on Sand Hill, Fort Benning, GA. Sitting down with him again after all these years was surreal—fun, emotional, and a full-circle moment. We talked about my time at Sand Hill, deployments, and even had surprise messages from guys who graduated with me. This podcast means alot to me to share with the world. I've had alot of great mentors but Mike really established a great foudation for my military career but also how achieved my goals. He taught me to never quit. Thank you to all my fellow Platoon members that sent videos in for Mike!

SE7 #241 Veterans Day Message 2025

Surprised a very deserving veteran with a free elite OnX Membership and I shared my thoughts and feeling about veterans day. Have a great Veterans Day be safe and have fun.

SE7 #240 Tom Farley

We caught up on all his travels for work and talked about his ongoing recovery journey. The conversation went in all directions—from sandhill crane hunts to hog hunting and everything in between. Got an update on the biopic about his brother Chris. After recording, we grabbed lunch at The Mad Apple Burger & Billiard and shot a few games of pool… which confirmed that neither of us will be joining a pro league anytime soon. Thanks for the great day, brother!

SE7 #239 Dan NewBerry- Part 3- Redemption

Part 3 - Dan is an Iraq War veteran, Purple Heart recipient, and one of the most selfless people I've ever met. After serving his country, he dedicated his life to helping veterans — opening two gyms, creating jobs, and giving others a place to belong. But in the process, he lost everything: his house, his car, his relationship, and his sense of self. Dan hit rock bottom and spent 30 days at the Milwaukee VA Domiciliary. That time changed everything. Today, he's rebuilding his life — working as a personal security guard, back in the gym, and rediscovering who he is beyond the uniform. His story is raw, emotional, and full of redemption.
