#64 – Imposing Order On Chaos: Practical Lessons From Warfighting Doctrine

Today we dive into a publication that has heavily influenced both of our lives, both inside and outside the Marine Corps. We argue that the principles of warfighting transcend the battlefield and are readily applicable to succeeding in everyday life.  Have you taken inventory of your centers of gravity? Do you default to a responsive, defensive posture in your day-to-day life? John and I drive home the importance of being a tactician. Being a commander as you chart the course for your own well-being.  This might be one of our most foundational episodes that outlines the principles of how we view the world. We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed recording it.

One of the beauties of Marine Doctrine, is that Marines are trained to abandon said doctrine when the fluidity, friction, or other elements of war determine we do so. Therefore the Marine Corps see’s no issue in publishing such a manual so that it can be read by our enemies and the average person has access to this publication with the beautiful gift or curse, that is the internet.

#63 – Adaptability

On Today’s episode, John goes solo while Isaac moves into his new home and covers the topic of adaptability. Human beings are amazingly resilient and adaptable. These skills have been developed over hundreds and thousands of years. What’s more, we are most adaptable to change initially. This ability to adapt rapidly to a new sport, skill, or hobby, should encourage us to try new things. Our ability to make great gains in something we have built great skill in should encourage us to push further. Relish your adaptability and use it as a tool to do awesome things!

#62 – Election Reflections

In today’s episode Isaac and I celebrate the second greatest birthday this nation has to offer. That is in fact, the Marine Corps Birthday. We delve into why that is a proud topic amongst Marines and the beauty of our sacred warrior fraternity. We spend the remainder of the episode covering whether or not Crypto was a bad buy based on FTX’s major failing that may or may not have been a scam all along. We close out the episode with a riveting discussion about the “Red Wave” that never came in the mid terms this year.

TT 61: Conspiracy Theories

Today is election day. To celebrate, John and I dive into the importance of being deliberate with how you exercise your right to vote.  Then we go off the rails and down the rabbit hole of the Jeffrey Epstein case. We do our best at trying to stay grounded in reality while discussing such an unbelievably unreal story. How can something so heinous go unchecked for years? And are we so desensitized to evil that it no longer fazes us that we still don’t have answers? This is not one to miss.  TOUGH TALK PICKS John on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/postmodernpatriot/?hl=en] Isaac on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/isaacwyant/?hl=en] Martyr Made Jeffrey Epstein Episodes [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bonus-the-jeffrey-epstein-series-pts-1-2-of-3/id978322714?i=1000567791061]
