The Vanguard Wall Podcast
The Vanguard Wall is a long-form interview podcast rooted in the world of combat veterans, special operators, and first responders — the people who did the hard things and carry them home. The host — himself an Army and law-enforcement veteran — sits down with them to talk about what they did, what it cost, and what they carry.
The show goes deep on the moments most podcasts skip — the call you made under fire, the teammate you lost, the door you walked through that you can't walk back out of, and the long quiet work of putting it back together. Past guests include Green Berets and Rangers, MACV-SOG veterans, Marines from the Battle of Fallujah, Delta Force operators, Air Force pilots, CIA case officers and Ground Branch, and the law enforcement and emergency responders who do the work most never see.
It doesn't stop at the uniform. The Vanguard Wall also brings on the builders, storytellers, and experts whose lives speak to the same audience — entrepreneurs and founders, filmmakers and actors, and voices in health, human performance, and resilience — because hard-won wisdom and a story worth telling are worth hearing wherever they come from.
Topics: combat operations, special operations, training and selection (Q Course, Ranger School, BUDS), leadership under stress, PTSD and trauma recovery, health and human performance, entrepreneurship, storytelling, family, faith, and the transition to civilian life.
For warriors. For the families who love them. For anyone who wants to understand what service — and grit — actually demand.
New episodes every other week. Long-form video on YouTube. Audio on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and everywhere podcasts are heard.
