While reflecting on the process of vulnerability in creative work, I shared a story inspired by Bubba, a friend writing about his near-death experience and grappling with fear as he prepares to release his book. I recalled my own anxiety when handing my first manuscript to Steven Pressfield, my literary hero. Despite initial doubts, his encouragement, including offering to write the foreword, changed my perspective. This journey taught me the importance of trusting others with your work and paying forward the support and kindness we receive.

I'll see you on the Rooftop.

As a nation, we can and must use the Green Beret Principles of trust, resilience, restoration, and more to face our foes abroad - and overcome the internal strife that besets American society today.” These are the words from “Hard Truths,” recently released by Congressman Mike Waltz, soon to be National Security Advisor (NSA) under President Trump. This podcast addresses the Hard Truths that Mike Waltz must consider around Afghanistan and the aftermath of the Afghanistan debacle and the “asleep at the switch” consequences of the past Administration. This podcast contains a no-B.S. run down of “hard truths” that speak to one of Waltz’s critical points as the National Security Advisor to President Trump, but also hard truths for you and me. Why? As Waltz Says…”We must be vigilant. Perhaps that is the hardest and most important, truth of all.” Get a notepad for this one. Let’s lean in, set our politics aside, and get focused and loud on these hard truths as we roll into 2025.
