Cody is a former Marine Raider turned entrepreneur. Cody opens up about his raw and intense experiences, from violent missions to the daily struggles with military bureaucracy. We'll dive into the founding of MARSOC, the special operations branch of the Marine Corps, and hear Cody's candid thoughts on military leadership, the impact of service on personal life, and his unexpected transition to civilian life.With unflinching honesty, Cody details his personal battles, from being on the KIA list to the psychological toll of warfare, and recounts a particularly harrowing encounter during the battle of Fallujah. Beyond the battlefield, Cody confronts societal issues, including his views on media influence and the need to foster critical thinking in our youth.Find Cody here: https://wedefythenorm.com/or IG @thecodyalford🎙️Afterburn Podcast Links🎙️Newsletter - https://bit.ly/AfterburnNewsletterContact - https://www.theafterburnpodcast.com/contactHelp a Veteran - Guns Garin Memorial Foundation gunsgarin.com/rain  🚨 Support the Podcast 🚨Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/theafterburnpodcastTAP Gear - https://shop.theafterburnpodcast.com/ TAP SponsorsLaunch Your Aviation Career - BogiDope: https://bit.ly/BogiDopeSecure Your Digital Identity - Aura: https://aura.com/afterburnE3 Aviation Association: https://bit.ly/E3AviationSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-afterburn-podcast8255/exclusive-contentSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-afterburn-podcast/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands 🛫 Become a Fighter/Bomber/Cargo/Tanker/RPA Pilot 🎯 : http://bogidope.com/?bd=tappodcast 🛫🔺 Aviation & Defense Newsletter - https://bit.ly/AfterburnNewsletter 🔺✈ Your Pilot Destination E3 Aviation Association: https://bit.ly/E3AviationBecome a Patron, Support the Show, & Gain Exclusive Benefits: https://www.patreon.com/c/theafterburnpodcastSponsors:💉Take Control of Your Health with Whole Body Lab Testing: https://bit.ly/FunctionHealthAfterburn 🩺🥷 Scrub Your Info from Data Brokers & Protect Yourself | https://aura.com/afterburn 14-day free trial
