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.
Four Titles, One Truth
Retired, Not Rewired | Why We Didn't Go Back to Work S1, E9
Welcome back to Four Titles, One Truth
Veterans. Husbands. Fathers. Black Men.
Hosted by retired Army Sergeant Major Tommie Jones and retired Colonel Lance Taylor, this is where real conversations happen — no filters, no scripts, just lived experience.
In this episode, we’re talking about what life really looks like after military retirement. No 9-to-5 grind. No corporate hustle. Just a decision to live life on our terms and why that was the right choice for us.
We discuss:
•Why we chose not to go back to work after retiring
•The pressure to “keep grinding” even when you don’t need to
•Redefining success and purpose without a job title
•How we’re staying productive, fulfilled, and focused post-retirement
•And the advice we’d give anyone struggling with the idea of what’s next after service
Retirement isn’t the end — it’s a new mission. And this time, the mission is peace, purpose, and freedom.
