Rick Hogg has spent almost 3 decades in the U.S. Army, most of which with joint special operations command. He also spent several deployments as a k9 handler, also at the highest level possible. It was great to sit down with him and hear the story of his career, as well as his thoughts on a lot of what’s going on right as his perspective is about as relevant as it gets.

Episode 75: 29 Years in Special Operations with Rick Hogg

Losing our countrymen in war is something that is we have to deal with, but one we accept in that it’s a necessary evil to combat those who wish us harm. When those deaths are clouded in controversy, it makes it incredibly tough to accept.

Episode 74: A Gold Star Widow's Fight For The Truth with Michelle Black

Many of my guests are those of faith, and I myself have had a lot of questions about religion over the years after growing up Lutheran and being around the world a few times. I sat down with Man of God Kyle Thompson to really get into doubts I have and questions I think many of us seem to ask. "Devils Advocate" seemed to be a recurring theme.

Episode 73: God's Undaunted Plan with Kyle Thompson

Longtime Mike Drop fans might be familiar with friend of the show and author of '100 Deadly Skills' Clint Emerson, but what you might not know is that he's hosting Season 2 of 'Can You Survive This Podcast,' a show that explores hypothetical life-threatening situations and asks a simple question: Will you be a survivor, or a statistic? For the big premiere of Season 2, Clint invited me on as his first guest and it only seemed natural to a sneak peek of the episode with all y'all here. Check out this short teaser for the new season of 'Can You Survive This Podcast' and slide on over to their page on your favorite podcasting platform and subscribe, rate, and review!
