Just thought you all might wanna know; here in Virginia the Locals are having multiple meetings to go over the ILA East coast contract from Maine to Texas starting tomorrow morning. We will be voting on this ground breaking contract on February 25th

I have failed many times in my life. Fortunately, Shawn I am grateful you took a chance on podcasting. Your guests and the aspect of actually processing my own mental health from Combat and the PTSD that follows was lifesaving. Semper Fi.

OC

Great job, both of you. Thank you for the helpful content 🙏

Amber

What about the lab grown meat....mmmmmmmm (sarcasm) 😂 Hey....in search of a goat distributor...

You strive not to fail but if u do u learn from ur failures

Weird name for a female. But the interview was very entertaining and I liked the shorter length.

Randy Weston

Congrats Brett for an Awesome start. You could not have chosen a better first guest. Seals have always intrigued me since I was attached to a fast attack submarine and we would take those guys out and they would leave the boat through the escape trunks. And I love Shawn for his commitment to a Christian life and the values he represents.

You trained John Wick. Did you teach him the pencil thing?

Tom

On your show, you ask great questions Shawn and you let the people answer them. The content is amazing.

Teena

Ask yourself “am I going to marry this girl/guy?” If the answer is no then move on why are you spending time/$ on someone else’s spouse?

Jim Fisher
