Four Titles, One Truth
Four Titles, One Truth is a raw, real, and often hilarious podcast hosted by two retired Army veterans — a Sergeant Major and a Colonel — who’ve lived, led, and learned through decades of service, fatherhood, marriage, and manhood.
Tommie and Lance explore the real conversations that matter: life after the military, raising families, confronting loss, staying grounded, and navigating the world as Black men in America.
This isn’t just a military podcast. It’s a lot more. Join the conversations between two friends, two men who’ve seen it a lot, learned even more— and have something to say.
Veterans. Husbands. Fathers. Black Men.
