Endless Endeavor with Greg Anderson

In Episode 052 I sit down with former Ranger Medic James Merrick. James and I both served in 2nd Ranger Battalion, but we were different generations of Rangers that never crossed paths. He worked with some good friends of mine and it was interesting hearing stories of the Regiment following my era. James goes into great detail about the process and pipeline that one needs to go through to become a medic inside the Regiment. James had a great energy to him and I’m proud that this is our one year anniversary episode!

In Episode 51 I sit down with retired Marine Corps Veteran Paul Gardner. Paul and I connected over instagram and I immediately wanted to use this platform to let him tell his story. Paul was with 2/5 Marines and partook in the Invasion of Iraq in March of 2003. On April 12th of that year Paul found himself in a close range gun battle with members of the Iraqi Army and sustained a life altering injury leaving him paralyzed. Pauls ability to live life with gratitude and positivity is something everyone needs to hear to gain some much needed perspective. I feel very fortunate that I got to spend a day with Paul and his wife Taylor, break bread with them and record this episode. Follow and support this warrior and see how someone with a massive amounts of adversity continues to crush life! We knocked out 3 hours in no time and are already talking about Episode 2 to outline his his road to recovery in even more detail.

Episode 050 takes us back to New Orleans, Louisiana where we had our second Guns and Gis Camp. I was able to sit down with my Jiu Jitsu coach Joao Assis and record an episode. Joao is a 7 time IBJJF World Champion and an ADCC champion. I received by blackbelt under him in 2014 and we’ve been close friends ever since. Joao grew up in Brazil and was able to chase the dream through Jiu Jitsu. He’s now close to obtaining his United States citizenship and shared that journey with us. Greg Lapin once again joins as we were all together about to run camp.

Episode 049 takes me to the FOB Brewing company outside of Ft Lewis, Washington where I sit down with COL Jon Chung, CPT Hailey Gibbons and CPT Nick Ondovcsik. COL Chung is the Commander of 2nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team and Hail and Nick are both company commanders under his command. These Officers have had incredible military careers and we speak about a conglomerate of leadership topics such as: military leadership, soldier’s mental health, combat, as well as an in depth look at females inside of combat MOS’s. Hailey is scheduled to attend Ranger School this fall and I enjoyed getting a female perspective as well as asking the hard questions about intergrading sexes in both combat and training. I really enjoyed making the trip to Lewis for this episode and look forward to doing it again.

In Episode 48 I’m road tripping back from Coeur D’Alene ID with my good friend Greg Lapin. We spent a week in Idaho teaching jiu jitsu at Seth Farwell’s jiu jitsu academy and set up the recording studio in my 4Runner and recorded on our drive back to Seattle. This episode heavily focused on “capabilities” ranging from self defense, every day carry and mobility.

In Episode 47 I sit down with my friend Tyler Stanaway to discuss the current push for vaccinations world wide. In a world where cancel culture shuts down anyone with an opinion contrary to the pushed narrative, it can be difficult to discern fact from fiction and make educated decisions. Many people are concerned about the direction this is going with college campuses, businesses and employers requiring the vaccines when there are health risks to be weighed on both sides of this issue.

In Episode 45 I sit down once again with Christy Campbell. Christy is an NCI Certified Nutrition Coach, CrossFit Level 2 Trainer, and a USAW Advanced Sports Performance Coach. She is a Navy veteran, Navy spouse and mom of 2 boys and a baby girl. Christy created a program called Fit Me because she believes the solution to weight gain and negative body image is a fundamentally different approach to healthy habits and choices. Christy has really put a tremendous focus on jiu jitsu over the last 18 months and it's been incredible to see her progression as of lately. I love hearing a females perspectives on training jiu jitsu and what this journey means to her.

In Episode 44 I am joined by my longtime friend Kyle McCutchen. Kyle has been in the law enforcement profession for nearly 20 years and specializes in training and defensive tactics for his department. Kyle and I met when we were both training MMA under Charlie Pearson nearly 17 years ago. Kyle earned his black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and now owns and operates Kindred Jiu Jitsu in Edmonds Washington. He brings a ton of experience and perspective on how to better the profession and is passionate about teaching officers both the mindset and skillset that is necessary to work patrol.

In Episode 43 I am joined by my former co-worker Ed. Ed and I worked together in Los Angeles back when I was with the feds and he recently moved to the Seattle area allowing us to reconnect. Ed and I had a pretty low key conversation, nothing too crazy like episode 41, but those kind of episodes are probably bad for my blood pressure so it’s a nice change! We talk about the career of law enforcement, our current political climate, Ed’s families story of escaping communism in Vietnam, and of course Ed’s favorite pass time; Shuffling.
