Avsnitt

  • Dr. Eugene G. Lipov is a physician researcher and board-certified anesthesiologist who specializes in intervention-based pain management in the Chicago area. He is best known for his treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder using the stellate ganglion block - an injection-based technique that "seems to 'reboot' the body's sympathetic nervous system. Simply put, it's a localized injection to the neck that can immediately provide relief for pain relief, circulation, and notably, post-traumatic stress disorder - a one-shot injection that claims to nearly cure PTSD altogether.
    Having authored over 40 medical publications alongside his upcoming book 'The God Shot: A Breakthrough That Forever Changed Trauma Care' and having treated hundreds of veterans across a number of global military branches, it's safe to say that Dr. Lipov's work is on the very edge of what's possible in relieving PTSD in the veteran community. His work has saved countless lives of countless warriors, even including some of Mike's own circle of former operators. Are we at an inflection point in medicine, where we may soon find a real, genuine solution to post-traumatic stress disorder? Should we be embracing new language to de-stigmatize the term, shifting from PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) to PTSI (post-traumatic stress injury)? And most importantly - does SGB truly work as well as Dr. Lipov claims?

  • Jim DiOrio is a former FBI Interrogation Expert, Undercover Operative, and Military Veteran. A 1986 West Point Graduate, Jim served overseas as an Army Ranger before joining the FBI, where he'd spend a decade as one of the most successful undercover agents in Bureau history. After that, he'd go on to turn another 15 years at the Bureau as a ferocious interrogator and Special Agent In-Charge. Rumor has it that he was even the man who told Captain Phillips that he could have his boat back.
    Today, Jim is the CEO of J3 Global, an international crisis security firm that Jim describes as 'Ray Donovan with more experience.' He also does some work with former CIA agent Andrew Bustamante at Everyday Spy - a potent combination of FBI and CIA experience that's been making waves all over the internet.

  • John A. Dailey is a USMC MARSOC Instructor that's trained hundreds of Marine Raiders across his over 20 years in the military. An early Force Reconnaissance Sniper, John witnessed the 9/11 attacks from a pub in Australia before getting shipped out to Afghanistan to help kick off the War on Terror. Later, he'd serve alongside his fellow 'tough rugged bastards' as a team leader at Detachment-1 in 2004, hunting insurgents, bomb-makers, and other HVT's in what would lead to the formation of the Marine Special Operations Command (MARSOC). in 2008 he retired, taking a job that has him still training Raiders while penning his memoir 'Tough Rugged Bastards: A Memoir of a Life in Marine Special Operations'.
    So what did the Raiders originally look like back when John joined Detachment-1? How has MARSOC changed since then, and what's really the difference between Marine Raiders and SEAL Teams? And as the titular tough rugged bastard, do you have to be hard-wired to be a hard man, or can you learn to be truly tough? Let's ask John.

  • Ryan Hendrickson is a 13-Year Green Beret, Author, and Landmine Recovery Expert. While serving as an 18C in 2010 on his first deployment as a Green Beret, he suffered an IED blast that should have killed him - a devastating injury that would have cost him his leg, if not for the Army's new THOR 3 program and a newfound appreciation for medical limb salvage. To the surprise of nearly all parties involved, Ryan returned to the battlefield a mere 18 months later, where he continued to serve for 12 more years at the Tip of the Spear.

    Later, he'd pen a memoir of his personal struggles from his deployment journals called ''Tip of the Spear: The Incredible Story of an Injured Green Beret's Return to Battle' along with pivoting into military contracting, but he felt a new calling when the Russia/Ukraine engagement began to swell in 2022. He headed into the chaos, performing his unique specialty - the deadly art of landmine removal - where he continues to work today. One thing's for sure - with Ryan's newfound appreciation on life (and surprise in-studio guests like Scott Huesing in tow), anything's possible.

  • From the Navy SEALs, to Delta Force, Marines, and the French Foreign Legion—this Veteran's Day, we're honoring all America’s warriors with five unforgettable stories from former Mike Drop guests. Every November 11th, America celebrates its service men and women, reflecting on the heroism of those who have selflessly served our great nation. For some this is a day of gratitude, and for others, a day of regret.Each veteran featured has a unique journey, from moments of courage and sacrifice to powerful experiences that helped shape them into the men they are today. USMC Veteran Ryan Rogers reflects on the times he was made to be a man of his word in Afghanistan, while Delta Force operator Tom Satterly recounts the intense Battle of Mogadishu—more commonly known as Black Hawk Down. Navy SEAL and French Foreign Legionnaire Taylor Cavanaugh opens up about his battle with addiction and redemption in France; Navy SEAL Zack Ferguson speaks on family, duty, and devastation; and the Sheriff of Baghdad, John 'Shrek' McPhee, shares remarkable solo missions, including his role in bringing down Saddam Hussein’s sons. It’s been an honor sharing the stage with such remarkable men and having the opportunity to share their stories with our listeners. A sincere and heartfelt thank you to those who have served, and the family and citizens that support their efforts.

  • How confident are we in our election integrity? Do we believe that our votes are counted fairly - and that the people we're electing to office are truly there to represent us? And between the political lobbying, allocated tax dollars, social media shadowbanning, and widespread fears of national voter fraud, how does anybody maintain any real confidence in the system? One thing's for sure - with a big country comes big problems, and big solutions aren't always easy to come by. 
    That's why Mike's sitting down with two friends of the show - Clint Emerson, ret. SEAL Team 6 and the author of '100 Deadly Skills', and Clark Impastato, ret. SEAL Team 5 and a former Phoenix Police Officer - to talk about the state of the union, U.S. election integrity, potential long-term solutions, and how things may end up going after November 5th, 2024.

  • Benjamin H. Milligan is a former US Navy SEAL, author, and military historian that served in SEAL Teams from 2001 to 2009. A native of Indianapolis, he received a BA in History at Purdue University before deploying with SEAL Team 4 in Europe and deploying into combat at SEAL Team 5. Since then, he's penned 'By Water Beneath the Walls: The Rise of the Navy SEALs', a gripping history chronicling the fits and starts of American Special Operations the ultimate rise of the Navy SEALs from unarmed frogmen to elite, go-anywhere commandos as told by one of their own. He's a father, writer, and speaker on leadership, organizational change, and American history at various universities, military commands, and veteran’s events. 

    So where did SEAL Teams originate, and how were Vietnam Green Beret's a part of their story? What kind of situations have helped to grow Special Operations, and what characters have worked against that progress? And when it really comes down to it, is there any truth to the myth that the Navy despises SEAL Teams? One thing's for sure - with a published SEAL Historian on the couch, researched answers are soon to follow. Let's meet Ben.

  • Johnny MF Glenn is a former Green Beret with over a dozen combat deployments - more than 21 years of back-to-back, nonstop, kinetic action in Iraq, Afghanistan, Africa, and parts unknown. He's seen gunfights, IED's, combat dressings, and human shields - he's been blown up five times, shot once, and had two cracks in his frontal lobe, all over the course of a career that's dotted with wild tales of 'organized' chaos that only a veteran operator could know.But for Johnny, organized chaos isn't just a way of life - it's a mantra; a fundamental belief that when good people do good things, good things happen regardless of the circumstances. So how's a farm kid in southwest Georgia go on to become a Green Beret? What keeps someone coming back, deployment after deployment, returning to the combat zone? And when you've served as long as Johnny has, what does the cost of human life really mean?Subscribe to the Mike Drop Patreon Page to see Ad-Free Episodes Early + Bonus Content at https://www.patreon.com/mikedrop----------Support Johnny MF Glenn -Check Out Johnny's Podcast, The JMFG Podcast at open.spotify.com/show/3WYn4jc7g4D3SfmmNbP3smInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jmfg0598YouTube: www.youtube.com/@JohnnyGlenn-3112----------TEAM DOG FOOD, TREATS & SUPPLEMENTSBe Your Dog’s Hero: Veteran-owned by a former Navy SEAL and Special Operations K9 Trainer, Team Dog provides a complete diet of science-backed premium dog food, treats, and supplements to optimize your dog’s health, forged from rigorous standards and real-world expertise.https://www.teamdog.shopTEAM DOG ONLINE TRAININGMike Ritland – a former Navy SEAL & Special Operations K9 trainer – shares his simple and effective dog training program to build trust and control with your dog.

  • Austin Hancock is a former United States Marine who served in the Iraq War, deploying to Iraq and North Africa after 2005. After serving he started a family, pivoting into the real estate investing business with a startup firm that would go on to host a multi-million dollar portfolio. Since then, he's stepped into coaching, speaking around the country to inspire others to seize the day and work towards achieving their own far-reaching goals.

    But there's more to Austin's successful lifestyle than meets the eye - two felonies at seventeen, multiple V.I.P. operations in Iraq, and chasing the American dream by hard-launching your own business isn't for the faint of heart. So how'd Austin end up getting into the Marine Corps with a pending trial, anyway? What's the secret to finding your own success as a struggling veteran newly home from deployment, and then guiding others to find the same? And when it comes down to it, is Austin Hancock really a bad guy, or is he a good guy who's just made stupid mistakes? Let's meet Austin.

    The Central Intelligence Agency is skilled in many covert practices, but being honest isn't always their strong suit. Just take it from Andrew Bustamante - a former covert officer that spent seven years at The Agency, Andrew was recruited while applying to join the Peace Corps after leaving the U.S. Air Force as a combat veteran. During his tenure at the CIA, he developed a range of valuable skills, growing to master the line between truth and falsehood while also meeting his wife at the Agency, where they quickly grew to learn that the CIA was no place for families. Today, he owns and operates his own company, Everyday Spy, where he trains everybody from casual interests to Fortune 500 CEO's in the very techniques he learned as a covert operator. 

    But leaving a life that is, to most people, a lie isn't easy. So where does the line exist between truth and fiction? Does the CIA ever cross that line, and when they do, is it purely in the interest of all American citizens? And if Andrew's skills at the CIA helped him to accomplish every goal he's ever set out to achieve, then what possibilities can those same skills unlock in the rest of us? Let's meet Andrew.

    Jeff Reid has a lot of mouths to feed. He's the owner/operator of Frozen Trident, a dog kennel he and his family founded in 2018 in Two Rivers, Alaska: the dog-mushing capital of the world. He's an Iditarod racer, having received the Red Lantern Award after racing with his own dogs along the wildly difficult long-distance annual sled dog race traveling 938 miles from Anchorage to Nome. He's also a former SEAL, having served 9 years with SEAL Team 4 with two kinetic deployments in Afghanistan. 

    But Jeff wasn't always a dog guy - he never even owned one growing up, in fact. It wasn't until his platoon met a stray dog named Frank on his second deployment in Afghanistan that things really started to change. So how's a Pennsylvania native end up deploying to Afghanistan, serving at the Tip of the Spear, retiring to Alaska, and competing in one of the coldest, most difficult races in the country? Let's meet Jeff.

    Dan Hughes was working as a Special Agent in the New York Field Office of the U.S. Secret Service when the first plane hit the North Tower on September 11th, 2001. As the second plane hit the South Tower, Dan set up an on-site triage area for the injured, witnessing atrocities and providing life-saving assistance that would later earn him the U.S. Secret Service Medal of Valor for his actions on the day. Later, Dan joined the Secret Service's Technical Security Division as an Advance Agent, supervising explosive detection canine sweeps for the President, Vice President, and major Heads of State, where he would discover a major K-9 shortage for preforming pre-event security sweeps.

    To help fill the role, Dan would go on to join the Bismarck Police Department in North Dakota, developing key K-9 team strategies along with his own business, 'Dogs for Defense' where he would personally subcontract K-9 security work in Iraq and Afghanistan alongside K-9 Adak (later named USA Today's #1 Most Heroic Dog) with Blackwater and other private security companies during height of the Iraq War in 2007. Today, Dogs for Defense continues to provide some of the finest working dog solutions around the world.

    The Unrelenting Pursuit of Excellence. That's what Dean Stott's chasing - a 16-year career Veteran, Dean's started his military service by joining the SBS, an elite special forces unit of the United Kingdom. In 2011, an injury pushed Dean into the private security sector, providing expertise to governments, presidents, and royals, including single-handedly evacuating the Canadian Embassy in Libya in 2014. Then in 2016, Dean set his sights on a new challenge - cycling all 14,000 miles of the Pan-American Highway, a feat he completed while nabbing two world records to boot.

    An author, a speaker, and a personal friend of England's Prince Harry, it's safe to say Dean's got no shortage of incredible stories from his globetrotting work in protecting the people that matter most, from everyday citizens to the most privileged among us. But what's the real difference between an SBS Operator and their U.S. counterpart? How does one go about evacuating an entire embassy, alone, under threat of danger? And how exactly does someone manage to cycle the entire length of the American continent in just 99 days? Let's meet Dean.

He's also one of the creators behind Ones Ready, an unparalleled resource providing information and consulting via podcast and special events specific to the Special Operations community. 

    Safe to say, there's no shortage of stories when it comes to calling in CAS, but how does somebody manage to do it consistently for such a long time? What are the nuances to managing battlefield resources, and how do you know when to deploy the right plane at just the right moment? And when it really comes down to it, how close does Close Air end up getting, anyway? Let's ask Peaches.

But law enforcement is about more than simply catching criminals, - just last April, Zach testified in Sacramento to combat the elimination of Police Canines with Assembly Bill 3241, representing all Canine Handlers in the State of California.

    Benjamin Sledge is a wounded combat veteran. He served tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, serving most of his time under Special Operations Civil Affairs and Psychological Operations Command. He's received the Bronze Star, Purple Heart, and two Army Commendation Medals for his actions overseas. He's also a multi award-winning author, having penned several viral articles and two books, the most recent being 'Where Cowards Go To Die', an unflinchingly honest detail of his time served overseas and the haunting experiences that followed. 

    Since then, Ben's dedicated himself to his family and his creative works, tapping into his unique narrative voice characterized by a rare blend of poetic eloquence and unfiltered authenticity. But how does an aspiring comic-book artist end up going to Afghanistan, anyway? What's the story behind that Purple Heart of his? And when a soldier does finally come home from war, does their mind ever truly leave the battlefield?

    AI isn't always welcome when it comes to advanced warfare capabilities - we've all seen Terminator 2, after all. But when it comes to saving lives overseas, safety is always a top priority. Just ask Brandon Tseng - with 7 years in SEAL Teams under his belt, he's seen firsthand just how dangerous an aptly-named fatal funnel can really be. That's why he started Shield AI, a groundbreaking technology company that's set out to protect service members and civilians with intelligent systems, driven by Hivemind, an AI Pilot that's designed to enable swarms of drones and aircraft to operate autonomously, without GPS, communications, or a pilot. 

    So how does one go about building an artificially-intelligent driven swarm pilot? Are we headed towards a future right out of science fiction, where machine learning inevitably starts to spin outside of human control? And most importantly, can an AI-powered quadcopter really clear a hell house better than a Navy SEAL?
