EP-196 | A Daring Combat Rescue - 4 Men Strapped to Apache's to Rescue Their Own

The story of three Royal Marines and one Royal Engineer strapped to two Apache Helicopters and dodging Taliban fire -- a daring rescue of one of their own.
The Apaches were nearly out of fuel before they lifted off on the rescue mission. Capt. Dave Rigg MC was the Royal Engineer who along with 3 Royal Marines helped rescue Lance Corporal Ford from a heavily fortified Taliban fort. This is a rescue story that will live in infamy.
Dave joined Robert Gowin and Scott Johnson on this episode to share first-hand what happened that day and the lessons learned.
Robert is a retired US Army Armor and Recruiter/Retention MSG turned Fortune 50 executive; Scott Johnson is a former British Army Royal Engineer and EOD tech.

EP-186 | Former Special Forces Breacher Gives You The Keys to Original Freedom

"Opinions are debated; beliefs are stated." -- Scot Spooner
Robert Gowin, Erich Martin, and Tom Satterly welcomed Scot Spooner to the podcast this week. We first talk about Scot's military career where he was a breacher for 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment Delta, and then we get into a deeper discussion on what it means to be free -- truly free.
After 17 years of service, Scot left the military to pursue his ambitions in business. In 2013, he started his own consulting company that advises in the area of executive leadership and has been featured as a speaker for numerous leadership conferences throughout the country.Learn more about OG Free at http://www.ogfree.com
