This is the podcast I’ve been searching for! With a husband currently in the ‘couch to assessment’ pipeline; this is the only place I’ve gained the insight and knowledge needed to give him the support and confidence he needs most. Thank you Ash and Derek, it all started with the Ghost in the Machine episode in 2022!

Lots of good content here related to leadership even if you’re not in the military. Yes it’s military themed but they do a good job breaking some terms down for civilians. Solid listening.

Ordinary citzen · Dec 2023

The truths stated in this episode are long overdue to be proclaimed. May God richly bless SFC Fiocca and his family for persevering through the suffering and for being bold enough and concerned enough to get the message to the ears that need to hear it. Not only do the powers that be need to listen to it, but those of us who have suffered horribly because of the exact issues SFC Fiocca described need to hear it as well. There is tremendous validation in having answers, in knowing there are solutions, and in knowing that we are not the only ones enduring that plight. God bless whoever made the decision to produce and air this podcast. You may never know the rogue wave effect this interview has had and will have on so many people similarly situated, and on those who will be spared this trauma because of the changes to come. Giving this soldier this platform has and will change lives. I pray that SFC Fiocca’s testimony is the first of many, and that those testimonies change the tide that has drowned so much hope and so many lives in the SOF community. I encourage you all to continue highlighting these issues and spotlighting solutions, including help for the families. They suffer greatly as well. My only suggestion for improvement on this particular podcast is that I would have enjoyed hearing more about the role that God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit played in SFC Fiocca’s comeback. He hit the nail on the head when he said that it is spiritual warfare. As the Apostle Paul wrote in the book of Ephesians “We wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Ephesians 6:12 Well done. De Oppresso Liber

I thought I would check this podcast out with no expectations. I was pleasantly surprised at how insightful I found it to be! The first episode I listened to was episode 40, what an episode! If you take it to heart, it is extremely powerful. Not only are the principles discussed in the episode factors that make a great leader in the military but they are invaluable guiding stars after the military that won’t fail you in your career or interaction with others. Thank you! I look forward to listening more!
