EP-329 | Leading - Combat vs. Other

We're taught to see leadership as an abstract undertaking, a matter of vision and values rather than practical detail. Combat demands more and requires self-reflection and empathy from the leader. In this episode we sit down with the fellas from Brigands Co. and talk about the differences and challenges of leading in different situations, including combat, and the challenges that go along with that.

EP-327 | One Team, One Fight

One Team, One Fight is the name of a beer brewed by veteran Matt Berger, but it also represents how veterans should join together to support one another post military transition as they did while on active duty. 
Matt served eight years in the U.S. Army (2006-2014) as a mechanic with one tour in Afghanistan (09-10) with the 82nd Airborne Division. He separated the Army and after a while ended up at Line Creek Brewing Co., where he began brewing beer. The brewery decided that they wanted to create a beer and support local veteran non-profits. They asked Matt to lead the effort to create a great tasting beer for this fundraiser. We discuss the impact that this creation had on Matt, his role in the process, and how what he does today helps him deal with the invisible wounds of combat.

EP-325 | Brigands | By Any Means Necessary

By Any Means Necessary is how these men live their lives daily. The word "BRIGAND"
is defined in the dictionary as a member of a gang that ambushes and robs people in forests and mountains, and it is known by many within special operations as something associated with the 75th Ranger Regiment. 
Brothers Dylan and Connor Curtis are former U.S. Army Rangers from 1st Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment who founded Brigands Co. and was later joined by RJ Casey, a U.S. Army Special Forces (Green Beret), Ranger, and USAF Pararescueman. Between the three of them, they have countless combat deployments to Afghanistan, Colombia, Iraq, Pakistan, the Philippines, Somalia, and Syria. 
In this episode, we sit down with Dylan and RJ to not only discuss their incredible careers in the the Army and Air Forces within special operations, we get into what this company does as consultants to a wide array of areas, including medical support, personal recovery, training, film and television script consultation, military advisors, stunts, writers, and rescue safety coordinators on set.
RJ Casey has worked on multiple films, including the very popular Amazon Prime original, "Jack Ryan", the movie "Dunkirk", "The Dark Night Rises", "Inception", "Terminator Salvation", and "We Were Soldiers" to name a few. 
Brigands Co. was founded as an outlet for a continued pursuit of excellence, and a way to use their experience across a range of industries. They live “service before self” and their motto is “by any means necessary”.

EP-324 | Patrick Kinsella, Ranger, Afghan Female Tactical Platoon (FTP)

Patrick Kinsella spent 1 deployment in Iraq and 4 deployments to Afghanistan while serving with 1st Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment. His time in SOF had him trained with K9s, and conducting nighttime raids on HVTs and Mi-17 crashes. But, he'll quickly share that some of his best time was as a contractor in Afghanistan where he trained the Afghanistan Female Tactical Platoon (FTP) who is tasked with supporting the Afghan Special Security Forces during counterterrorism operations, specializing in searches, interrogations, and medical assistance.
He came off of the Appalachian Trail to tape this episode and we discuss his time in and out of service and why being on the trail was so important.

EP-323 | Thomas Bryant - Ranger

Throughout Thomas Bryant's time in the Army, he has come to find his resiliency has taken him on a never-ending battle to be the best he can be when facing any new challenge.
In 2006, Bryant was wounded in an ambush during his first deployment to Afghanistan with this unit, the 173rd Infantry Brigade Combat Team. He was sent to Germany where he would spend a year in the Warrior Transition Unit. There, it was found he had cancer for the second time, he said. His first time was when he was 19, but this time he was told it had moved up to his abdomen, lungs and pelvic area.
