Failure Makes Us Stronger | The Truth About Falling, Failing & Getting Back Up Artwork

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.

The Truth About Growth, Lessons, and the Power of Failing Forward

In this episode of Four Titles, One Truth, Tommie and Lance open up about the moments that didn’t go as planned — the failures that shaped their character, careers, and purpose.

From setbacks in leadership to personal struggles, this conversation dives deep into the uncomfortable truth: failure isn’t the opposite of success — it’s the foundation of it.

They explore how learning from mistakes, staying humble, and growing through pain have been the real markers of success — not the titles or accomplishments.

Whether you’re a man navigating fatherhood, marriage, military life, or personal growth, this episode will challenge you to rethink how you define winning — and how much power there is in losing the right way.
