“I didn’t want to get high anymore, but I couldn’t stop.” That line sits at the center of Logan’s story—a small-town athlete whose life flips after a bar fight, a traumatic brain injury, and 18 months on prescribed opiates. When the scripts end, withdrawal hits like a freight train. A friend hands him a pill. Forty-five minutes later, addiction has a name.

From there, we follow the brutal logic of the street. Open-air drug markets. “Scramble” bags cut with fentanyl, benzos, and quinine. The first IV hit. Speedballs in gas station bathrooms. A blackout and a hospital bed, hands cuffed to a gurney. Robberies at gunpoint. Narcan save after Narcan save—and one young man he couldn’t bring back. Then the darkest chapter: sexual assault used as “discipline” by people who held his debt. Hope narrows to a single point. He tries to die by proximity, chasing the batch that killed others. Winter arrives. He’s too cold to get high.
What changes everything isn’t a slogan. It’s a stranger who lets him borrow a phone, a mother who will cross bridges and neighborhoods to pull him out, and a caseworker who says, “Be at the door by 8 a.m.” He chooses a detox that hurts enough to remember and builds a recovery that actually fits: daily meetings, step work, and a gym where effort turns back into dignity. He grieves the overdose of his best friend and stays clean. He learns that strength includes crying, apologizing, and teaching his son to name feelings before they turn to rage.
Now, Logan runs operations at Fit To Recover in Salt Lake City, a nonprofit built on four pillars—fitness, creative arts, nutrition, and service—that helps people in recovery and those unsheltered feel safe and seen. We talk harm reduction, why fentanyl is everywhere, how meth-induced psychosis rewires reality, and what real boundaries look like for families: stop funding the disease, never stop loving the person.

A bluebird day, a backcountry mayday, and a helicopter that vanishes behind a ridge. That’s where Valerie’s story grips you—and it doesn’t let go. Born and raised in Jackson, Wyoming to EMT parents, she spent a decade as a volunteer firefighter and EMT before moving behind the console as a 911 dispatcher. What she reveals from the headset is a masterclass in calm under pressure, interagency coordination, and the emotional gymnastics it takes to reset between tragedies. We walk through the real work of dispatch—shadowing, ride‑alongs, multi‑screen radios, and the muscle memory that frees up brainspace to hear what a caller isn’t saying.

Valerie breaks down how she anticipates field needs, sends backup before it’s requested, and uses tiny clues to paint a map others can’t see. You’ll hear the story of a child flickering a bedroom light to guide officers to a violent home, the mountain town chaos of holiday weekends and canyon wrecks, and why location is the first thing you should say when you dial 911. Then the helicopter crash: AFF goes silent, a witness says, “I think your helicopter just crashed,” and hours of searching yield no smoke, no debris, no coordinates. Valerie orchestrates ground teams, aircraft, and agencies while holding the mental picture together until a lone snowmobiler with a radio finds the wreck under trees. One rescuer dies, two survive, and a community grieves. She later voices the last call at the funeral—proof that dispatch carries the weight even when unseen. We also face the cost.
Valerie describes the 3:15 a.m. calls that never leave, the cultural stigma around mental health, and the night she asked for help and got punished for it. She argues for better dispatcher training that builds anticipatory thinking and for support systems that don’t brand vulnerability as weakness. Today she channels her skills into logistics—still dispatching, now without the mortal stakes. If you’ve ever wondered what happens between your panic and the moment help arrives, this conversation brings clarity, respect, and practical wisdom. Subscribe, share with a friend who works in public safety, and leave a review telling us what changed how you think about 911—and what you’ll do differently the next time you call.

The first minutes hit like a siren: why are graphic scenes of war broadcast in real time, and who gains from the outrage? From there we follow a veteran who stopped scrolling and bought a plane ticket—Dubai to Jerusalem, through the Old City’s quarters and into the West Bank with a Palestinian Christian guide. He describes 702 checkpoints in a territory the size of a small state, villages fenced and locked, and settlers in civilian clothes carrying M4s he says trace back to US aid. Between family visits and stories of demolished homes and lost permits, the moral question sharpens: what does it mean when American taxes echo as gunfire in another land?

We pull back the camera to the information war: censorship, the algorithmic burying of uncomfortable footage, and narratives that turn neighbors into enemies. The host and guest argue that culture wars function like a trap—keeping citizens as “human batteries” fed on distraction, debt, and division. The alternative is demanding but tangible: personal excellence, strong families, financial independence, homesteading and homeschooling where possible, and a conscious march into media, education, finance, and tech to rebuild the culture that reshapes policy. No calls for insurrection here—only a sober read on how uprisings are used to justify tighter surveillance and how real change is planted, tended, and grown.
The conversation then traces an arc few podcasts dare: from the destruction of the Second Temple to Constantine’s Edict of Milan, the Nicene Creed, the Great Schism, and the Reformation. For listeners lost in a sea of shifting pulpits and politicized sermons, Orthodoxy is presented as a throughline—apostolic succession, unchanged creed, and the writings of the Church Fathers—as a stable anchor in an age of spin. The finale turns to purpose. The odds of your existence are nearly zero; don’t donate your life to an algorithm. Seek Christ, ask for truth, and pursue a calling with integrity. If this resonated, share it with a friend, subscribe for future deep dives, and leave a review so more people can find the conversation.

Smoke in your lungs, fire at your back, and a decision you can’t postpone: run or turn around and help. That’s where our conversation goes when a Marine walks us through an Osprey crash in Australia—alarms, hard banks, treetops, impact, then blackness split by orange flame. He unstraps, bolts, then sprints back to push guys farther from the heat, watching crew pull a barely conscious crew chief from the wreck. The pilots didn’t make it. The adrenaline masked pain for hours; the paperwork later masked responsibility.

Before that day, he’d already been recalibrated by the world. MSG duty stationed him at embassies where suits, diplomacy, and three‑letter agencies share space and secrets. Tokyo set a new high bar for food quality, cleanliness, and civic discipline—Ikigai made visible in daily work. In Riyadh, he discovered how rules and reality diverge, where expats and elites create an underground nightlife, and how scarcity turns access into currency. Those scenes weren’t about flexing; they were about understanding how networks, incentives, and culture really move people.
Back in the fleet, Australia’s ranges delivered heat, snakes, crocs, and the kind of miles that make you question why the range is always twenty clicks away. Then came the flight he couldn’t shake. Afterward, flying became a ritual of white‑knuckled prayer. The VA process added its own turbulence. Meanwhile, travel kept tugging. Ancient stones in Egypt and temple quiet in Kyoto didn’t just awe—they argued. Over time, he found his way back to faith, this time owned and practiced: Orthodox prayer morning and night and a willingness to speak plainly online about politics, war, and conscience because he’s stood close to the consequences.

The first time he lifted an Apache off the ground, it felt like piloting a floating bus. The first time he said “no” to what he believed was an unlawful mandate, it felt like stepping into a different kind of combat. In this candid, high-velocity conversation, a National Guard Apache pilot walks us through SEER school realities, gunnery exhilaration, and the boredom of a deployment constrained by a peace deal that tied hands while allies bled. Then the fight comes home: policy-by-whisper, moving goalposts, and a refusal to file for exemptions because conscience, oath, and regulation mattered more than convenience.

When leaders wouldn’t put groundings in writing and mental health became a pretext, he documented everything and spoke out. The video went viral not because it was loud, but because it was clear. We unpack the blowback that never came from the public, the board that’s coming anyway, and the question every service member must answer: who are you accountable to when orders and integrity collide?

From there we shift into faith and institutions. He separates belief in Christ and original texts from corporate religion, calling out secrecy, money incentives, and ever-shifting rules as un-Christlike. No barbs for sport—just a standard: test paths by their fruits. If it grows honesty, sacrifice, and love, keep going. If it demands secrecy and obedience without light, step away. Finally, we wade into pornography as a spiritual and cultural weapon. This isn’t moralizing; it’s a field manual. Accountability with a trusted friend, device discipline, and a higher aim—purity as strength—can reset attention, intimacy, and confidence. He’s living proof.

If you care about courage, conscience, and the kind of brotherhood that makes men harder to buy and harder to break, press play. Then share it with someone who needs a spine-stiffening story, subscribe for more unfiltered conversations, and leave a review with the one moment you won’t forget.
