THE Wartime Leadership Podcast: The Resiliency of divorced, but not denied, dad Dwight Scott! Dwight is a retired US Air Force Security Forces member AND a former teamie of mine when we served as Military Training Instructors together. Dwight retired from the military to focus on his growing family and to allow the dust of the battle rhythm to settle, only to find himself struggling alongside his wife. Separated and living apart, Dwight was taken to court for child support, unknowingly having to represent himself against a well-educated attorney his estranged wife had hired. The attorney questioned his character, the quality of service to our country and his role as a father. Life became overly complicated quickly, but foundational things remained constant… Dwight’s dedication to God and God’s love for Dwight. Always focused on personally developing those around him, Dwight put pen to paper to write some of the most amazing, heartfelt words I have ever read. In his book The Armed Forces Devotional Guide to a Fulfilling Career Dwight wrote: “A military career is about sacrificing and protecting the freedom and liberties of those around you. How can you continue the drive to accomplish the mission while having an internal force that can prevent burnout? The answer is this: by renewing your spirit and allowing God's power in all aspects of your life. Many military members understand how to improve their physical fitness or gain education through classes, but how do we gain spiritual fitness...The uniform we wear is indeed the fabric of our nation; however, we neglect the stitching that holds it all together--our heavenly Father.” Dwight is turning his pain into God’s glory by writing a currently untitled devotional for divorcees...till then you can find his current books at the links provided below: The Armed Forces Devotional Fulfilling Career https://shorturl.at/fgJM2 Back Porch Poetry https://shorturl.at/sNQV3   Be sure to like / follow / share / review us on: https://linktr.ee/WartimeLeadership⁠ #leadbyexample #servantleader #advocate #leadership #leadershipdevelopment #leadershipcoach #resilient #spiritaullyresilient #interviews #interview #podcast #podcastsofinstagram #tiktok #IG #YouTube #vision #military #divorce #healing #dad #father #divorced #selflove #appreciation #conversation #healyourfamily #GodTheFather #healer #pain #noregret --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wartime-leadership/support

THE Wartime Leadership Podcast: The Resiliency of Ghost Helper Tina Erwin. Tina is passionate about being a "Ghost Helper." Her mission is to teach the living how to help the dead. She wants to empower everyone to help any ghost they may find. Tina says that this is the compassion we will all want for ourselves. Tina has studied metaphysics all of her life, gaining insight into the mystical world of spirituality. She is the author of eight books on metaphysics. Her writing comes from an intense desire to know and understand the hard science behind the unseen world of action and reaction combined with a sincere desire to share this understanding with other knowledge seekers. Ghosts just seem to find Tina. It's as if she’s a "ghost magnet." In every single case, Tina says that these ghosts are looking for help and they tell her why they didn't cross over; they tell her their stories. She assists these souls by crossing them into the Heaven World. When a psychic only connects to a dead person, the ghost does not receive the critical assistance they desperately need. Her lifelong studies into the deeper meaning of events and actions were further enhanced by the experiences of a dynamic 20-year career in the Navy, working for the U.S. Submarine Force, retiring at the Commander level. Commander Erwin found the Navy to be a tremendous schoolhouse in which to study all the facets of behavior and karma, from the worst to the finest levels of humanity. She has a Master’s Degree in Business and Management. You can find all of her books on AMAZON.COM You can learn more about Tina at TinaErwin.com and GhostHelpers.com Liquid IV Promo: Ready to shop better hydration, use my special link “Wartime” to save 20% off anything you order at Liquid-IV.com Connect with us at: https://linktr.ee/WartimeLeadership Be sure to like / follow / share / review us on all platforms!!

THE Wartime Leadership Podcast: The Resiliency of “We Don’t Want You, Uncle Sam” author Matthew Weiss!! Matthew went from Defense Contractor to an Intelligence Officer in the United States Marine Corps. He holds a BS and an MBA from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. Most importantly, he is a member of Generation Z who cares deeply about solving this issue of service. Recently his first book was released called “WevDon’t Want YOU, Uncle Sam” and sits as a best-seller on Amazon (www.amazon.com/dp/B0CDF7Z32K/). The all-volunteer force that has served our country well for more than 50 years is at a critical inflection point. Today, recruiters are struggling to bring enough Zoomers into the armed services. Mismatched fundamental ideals, divergent beliefs about the workplace, and other sociocultural influences have contributed to the United States military scrambling to get a grasp on how to appeal to Gen Z. Through the use of personal life stories and macro analysis, this book explains why military recruiting in the United States is at an all-time low in order to suggest ways that American society and its leaders can fix this issue. We must rebuild the value proposition of military service by demonstrating the benefits of the world’s greatest physical social network.

***It says Episode 77, but we wanted to get it out sooner*** The Resiliency of Prison Artist Elizabeth Mikotowicz!! In her 20's she barely survived a very violent relationship; she was assaulted with a wooden dowel so bad you could see her skull. Drs gave her opioids, but when she refused, they threatened her w/child protective services because she was unknowingly pregnant and refusing medical advice. She was told she was on too small a dose to get addicted. Eventually she went to a shelter but was turned away, because her injury was too severe. She survived only because drug dealers helped her. Eventually, she went to federal prison for a nonviolent drug charge where she endured and witnessed so much institutional abuse, corruption, systemic racism, and cruelty; sometimes waking up screaming. But, she turned it all around and launched an environmentally friendly clothing brand. She has advocated and fought for legislation to be passed for the good of the people. She's letting the world know what America "land of the free" is doing to its incarcerated population, the highest in the world. She's exposing other systemic abuse and corruption effecting Americans every day. She's sharing her healing journey and what she's learned about her own trauma and mental health. 5 years ago she was painting murals as a federal inmate, now Elizabeth has her own art shows. Prison opened her eyes to the systemic racism, cruelty, corruption, and inequality in this country. Now she exposes what she witnessed and endured to advocate legislation. Her women's clothing brand has helped her healing journey, and wants to help people from all walks of life do the same.

THE Wartime Leadership Podcast: The Resiliency of UPS Management Team Member Steve Turner!! Steve is COO of Beyond Resilience LLC and President of Flow Business Solution. He joined ‘Beyond Resilience’ because his values and approaches to leading employees resonate with their objectives. “We have an opportunity to enhance the effectiveness of business leadership throughout any organization.” Steve graduated from the University of Wisconsin with a degree in Business Administration.  This, along with his appreciation and respect for UPS, where he was on the management team while attending college, launched his business career on a leadership journey of success. Steve has a proven 35-year career with UPS. He provided leadership in the diverse environments of Operations, Finance & Accounting, and Technology at District, Region, and Corporate levels. This included five years in Europe at the beginning of UPS’ global expansion, where he was a Finance Director with responsibilities in 10 countries. Upon his return to the USA, he moved into UPS Information Services leading groups that designed, built, and deployed UPS financial systems for worldwide use.   His responsibilities in the countries he covered globally solidified an important fact... cultures change, hearts do not.  No matter where he went, he experienced the same reality.  Employees will follow those who care about them, train them for success and appreciate who they are as individuals.  His dedication to the individual lives of his employees and the value they provided in his business groups yielded him success in every position he held.  He demonstrated the value of leading employees as opposed to managing them.  “Systems, processes, and procedures should be managed.  Employees should be led.” Liquid IV Promo: Ready to shop better hydration, use my special link “Wartime” to save 20% off anything you order at Liquid-IV.com Connect with us at: https://linktr.ee/WartimeLeadership Be sure to like / follow / share / review us on: Instagram: Wartime_Leadership Twitter: @Wartime_Ldrshp YouTube: Wartime Leadership All episodes are available at http://www.thewartimeleadershippodcast.com and http://www.wartime-leadership.com Be sure to rate and review each episode.

THE Wartime Leadership Podcast: Adopted, Addicted, and Absolved The Resiliency of Dallas Goodlet. At the age of 19 years old, Dallas was told by his parents he was adopted… at age 5. He had lived his whole life as a lie, thinking he knew who his biological parents/family were. Dallas developed anger problems stemming from shame and abandonment. His whole life and identity crumbled and that led to years of reckless behavior with drugs and alcohol abuse, attempted suicides, feelings of being totally worthless. In that time, he never gave up though and developed a “never quit” resilient war cry. Unknown adoption had created a hole in his heart and soul that had to be healed.   Liquid IV Promo: Ready to shop better hydration, use my special link “Wartime” to save 20% off anything you order at Liquid-IV.com Connect with us at: https://linktr.ee/WartimeLeadership Be sure to like / follow / share / review us on: Instagram: Wartime_Leadership Twitter: @Wartime_Ldrshp YouTube: Wartime Leadership All episodes are available at www.thewartimeleadershippodcast.com Be sure to rate and review each episode.

THE Wartime Leadership Podcast: The Resiliency of EveryWarrior.org’s Trey McGuire!! Prior to 2014, Trey began noticing a trend, and that trend was unacceptable to him. Serving in a local church, Trey worked hand in hand with young adults of our area. The more service members he met, the more he noticed that our Warriors were alone, isolated, and, sometimes, forgotten. That hole was something that he set out to fill. Over the years, a tight knit group of Airmen, Soldiers, Sailors, and Marines alongside Trey set their sights on filling what was missing with a makeshift extended "family". Out of that small "family" of brothers, the first Warrior's Thanksgiving Feast was born, as a way to make sure our local Warriors were not alone at Thanksgiving. From that November 2014 night, the idea of a non-profit organization was born.

***Special 4th of July Edition*** THE Wartime Leadership Podcast: The Resiliency of IED Survivor Shane Vincent! May 24th, 2007, former BMX Olympic superstar, Shane Vincent’s Cavalry troop was headed back from a seemingly routine mission in Iraq when his Humvee tripped a wire which was connected to a roadside improvised explosive device. The IED was built to eliminate a tank but flipped his Humvee over 100 feet into the air, flipping countless times before finally crashing into the ground. As the twisted heap of metal smoldered, Shane was thought dead with a broken neck, back, jaw, and pelvis. Placed into a medically-induced coma, Shane had no memory of the explosion. He woke several weeks later stuttering, confused, and disoriented.  This 4th of July edition finds us looking at the resilience of a true American hero as we discuss the fight and battle after “the battle”. Inspiring does NOT start to describe this conversation and the courage of Shane and his family. Shane’s fight back embodies The Warrior Ethos: “I will always place the mission first. I will never accept defeat. I will never quit!” Connect with us at: https://linktr.ee/WartimeLeadership Be sure to like / follow / share / review us on: Instagram: Wartime_Leadership Twitter: @Wartime_Ldrshp YouTube: Wartime Leadership Facebook: Wartime Leadership All episodes are available at http://www.thewartimeleadershippodcast.com and http://www.wartime-leadership.com Be sure to rate and review each episode.

THE Wartime Leadership Podcast: The Resiliency of American Gladiator Deron “MALIBU” McBee! He is an actor and sportsman, known best as Malibu on American Gladiators and for playing Motaro in Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. Deron toured the professional racquetball circuit for three years. Daron was a gladiator on the TV series American Gladiators, performing under the name Malibu. He appeared in both the TV series and returned several years later for the live tour! He was known for his blond hair, tanned skin, and surfer persona. Deron walks out this experience in ESPN Film’s 30-For-30 ‘American Gladiators documentary’. Such a detailed look, it took 2-hour long episodes. As an actor, Daron has been cast in action movies where he was often asked to use fighting skills and often portrayed villain roles. To help develop his skills, Daron trained in the art of karate at the famed Billy Blanks World Karate Studio, and hand-to-hand combat and swordsmanship with Anthony De Longis. He states that he has produced his impressive physique by abstaining from steroids and using a combination of prayer and faith.   From chasing his father’s love, affection, and attention, losing his wife to a heart attack, to surviving multiple injuries and ultimately leading to an addiction to pain killers, Deron opens up to us in a very vulnerable conversation.

THE Wartime Leadership Podcast: The Resiliency of Lt Col (Ret) Jason Pike!! The Army investigated him, arrested him, and tried to break him. LT. Col. Jason Pike is undoubtedly A Soldier Against All Odds. National Best Selling Author and Book. A decorated combat veteran with multiple deployments, Jason Pike shares in this inspiring memoir and through storytelling in speaking events how he survived 31 years in the service on sacred secrets. A genuine and frank account—the good, the very bad, and the very ugly—of his years in uniform.  Starting from the bottom, as a private, and working his way through the ranks, Pike tells his story with wicked whit and shows us the price he paid for his service - as well as a glimpse into the adventure of life in the Army, including 9 years of living overseas. Diagnosed at age seven with an acute learning disability and failing first grade that year, Jason Pike was sent back to repeat it. At age nine, he was diagnosed with osteomyelitis, a crippling bone disease dissolving the bone of his knee that added to his academic challenges and a significant physical disadvantage. With more than three decades of national guard and active service, after starting his military career at seventeen and retiring at the rank of lieutenant colonel, he was told that none of it would be possible. For that advice, there were indeed excellent grounds. His story, therefore, is one of survival, perseverance, and a refusal to quit, no matter what, a characteristic gifted to him by his father. Once he did it, everyone asked, "how the hell did you do it?" And many times, he had asked himself the same question… In A Soldier Against All Odds, Jason Pile shows that It is possible, through determination, careful application, and bold strategy, to overcome or compensate for personal humiliation brought about primarily by his own mistakes, being haunted by investigations, academic difficulty, arrests, many ass-chewings, and physical frailty. He did pay the price for being himself. This is how he did it, but most importantly, how he survived it. Despite these facts, Jason refuses to brag, refuses to portray any sort of pretentiousness, and refuses to call himself a hero. “The heroes are the ones, who didn’t come home,” he says. “Now, let me tell you about another time I managed not to die by doing something stupid.” Indeed, the mental image of Jason attempting to escape from a hole filled with animal feces in South Korea, his electrocution in the doorway of an airplane, running from a police helicopter after burning trash illegally, nearly breaking his legs after faulty parachute jump, and being stabbed in ROTC are just a few Pike stories that are listed in the book. Regardless of what he has experienced for good or ill, Jason’s jovial sense of humor and desire to teach others to believe in oneself persists.
