Ep 26: Grandmaster Competitive Shooter and Full Time LEO Raph

Aviation Safety and the Path to Becoming a Commercial Pilot

I sit down with Brett, a pilot for a major airline, and we discuss recent fatal aviation incidents and steps pilots take to keep their passengers safe. We talk about the path to becoming a pilot, and get philosophical on living life and collecting watches.

Ep31: Ollech and Wajs with Charles

Charles, the owner of OW Watches, goes over the rich history of Ollech and Wajs and details the connection to the military, as well as their emphasis on Swiss manufacturing. After my own experiences wearing OW M-52 AU for a week, and hearing Charles talk about OW, I'm thoroughly impressed by the brand. You can find more at www.ow-watch.com or @ollechandwajs on IG.

Ep 30: Career Ending Injury with Bradley, retired LAPD Metro Officer

Bradley (@patient0zero on IG), a medically retired LAPD officer, discusses his upbringing in the Midwest, his path to the elite Metro Division of the LAPD, and what seemed like a minor injury during an apprehension of a suspect. Due to misdiagnosis and delays caused by COVID, the injury sat untreated, resulting in a nonfunctional leg with excruciating pain. We discuss the headache of dealing with city medical and the IOD process, and we talk mental health and the impact something like this can have. Throughout the conversation, Bradley gives the listener specific advice if, God forbid, you find yourself in a situation where you've been injured in the line of duty. Of course, we dive into Bradley's watch collection journey. This raw conversation takes you behind what happens after an incident is over, and the aftermath begins.

Ep 29: Teddy, AF EOD and Grey Area Co

Teddy, an Air Force EOD tech and co-founder of Grey Area Co walks us through the training pipeline to become EOD, as well as starting a small business (Grey Area Co) and what goes into making leather watch straps.

Ep 28: Joe Dawson: Navy SEAL and Veles Industries

Joe Dawson highlights his 14 year military career as a Navy SEAL, including incorporating lessons learned from the civilian competitive shooting world to NSW's sniper training. We talk about multiple injuries, and his attitude to get him through numerous training accidents/injuries. We get philosophical on raising children, your "why," and how to view the world. This was a great conversation that I'm happy to bring to you. Be sure you're following Sketchy Boyz Watch Club on IG as well as Facebook, and check out the site.
