Is it Worth It? Final Episode
Jan 3, 202500:27:35Tap to summarizeThis is probably a question you’ve asked yourself many times when building your movement, or product, or next big thing. When life taps us on the shoulder and challenges us to play a bigger game, this question is usually not far behind. It causes us to question ourselves, our purpose, even our ability. In this final episode of the Rooftop Podcast we explore not just the answer to this universal question, but how you can use that answer as your true north in every challenge you face from here on. I’ll see you on the Rooftop!

Transcribe →Leaving Tracks with our Youth Ep. 404
Dec 27, 202400:34:57Tap to summarizeAs 2024 comes to a close, I think we could all take a little time to reflect on the tracks we’re leaving in this world. The impact we can make on our youth is one of the greatest legacy gifts we can give and one of the highest forms of social capital. Join me for a walk down the driveway to discuss what that looks like in your life! I’ll see you on the Rooftop.

Transcribe →The Four Pillars of Rooftop Leadership Ep.403
Dec 20, 202401:01:21Tap to summarizeIn this time of elections and the churn, I reflect on the past few transformative years—from the chaos of Afghanistan’s collapse and Operation Pineapple Express to the resurgence of my play, Last Out: Elegy of a Green Beret. These experiences shaped Rooftop Leadership, a methodology rooted in four pillars: strategic impact, human nature, human connection, and deep work. Drawing from my Green Beret experiences, this approach confronts the disconnection and low-trust environments that dominate today’s world. By fostering meaningful relationships and addressing “the churn” of fear, distraction, and distrust, I aim to help leaders align with their deeper nature, inspire action, and drive profound, lasting change. I'll see you on the Rooftop.

Transcribe →The Hardest Part About Sharing Stories That Matter.... Ep.402
Dec 6, 202400:11:59Tap to summarizeWhile reflecting on the process of vulnerability in creative work, I shared a story inspired by Bubba, a friend writing about his near-death experience and grappling with fear as he prepares to release his book. I recalled my own anxiety when handing my first manuscript to Steven Pressfield, my literary hero. Despite initial doubts, his encouragement, including offering to write the foreword, changed my perspective. This journey taught me the importance of trusting others with your work and paying forward the support and kindness we receive. I'll see you on the Rooftop.

Transcribe →Hard Truths Ep. 401
Nov 29, 202401:08:05Tap to summarizeAs a nation, we can and must use the Green Beret Principles of trust, resilience, restoration, and more to face our foes abroad - and overcome the internal strife that besets American society today.” These are the words from “Hard Truths,” recently released by Congressman Mike Waltz, soon to be National Security Advisor (NSA) under President Trump. This podcast addresses the Hard Truths that Mike Waltz must consider around Afghanistan and the aftermath of the Afghanistan debacle and the “asleep at the switch” consequences of the past Administration. This podcast contains a no-B.S. run down of “hard truths” that speak to one of Waltz’s critical points as the National Security Advisor to President Trump, but also hard truths for you and me. Why? As Waltz Says…”We must be vigilant. Perhaps that is the hardest and most important, truth of all.” Get a notepad for this one. Let’s lean in, set our politics aside, and get focused and loud on these hard truths as we roll into 2025.

Transcribe →Find Your Voice, Tell Your Story Ep. 397
Nov 1, 202400:30:54Tap to summarizeThis message emphasizes the importance of finding and sharing your authentic voice as a leader, embracing vulnerability, and telling personal stories to foster deep connections and build social capital. True influence goes beyond success; it requires relatability, relevance, and a willingness to share difficult experiences to resonate deeply with others. Leadership involves persevering through fear, iterating on personal growth, and accepting that no one is coming to save you—progress depends on your commitment to show up and share your journey. By doing so, you empower others, inspire reciprocal support, and create meaningful change in both your community and yourself. I’ll see you on the Rooftop.

Transcribe →The Return of Task Force Pineapple Ep. 396
Oct 25, 202400:30:12Tap to summarizeI believe in getting big sh*t done even when nobody else is coming. I believe it to my core. This country is built on this concept. For me, one of those areas is mobilizing the GWOT Generation of veterans and military family members to solve wicked problems that supplement the gaps that are often not filled by the federal government. The abandonment of our Afghan Allies. The wildfires in Maui. The hurricane - ravaged hills of Western North Carolina. Our veteran network brings enormous horsepower to solving tough problems. It’s the ultimate private public partnership and it’s changing the game of how veterans can maintain relevance in a time when our country is extremely challenged. Task Force Pineapple is back and our veterans are stepping up in a big way. Give this episode a listen and then let me know: What’s your Pineapple Express? I’ll see you on the Rooftop!
