Today Dan and I did some much needed catching up after having made it through the holidays.  I give a shout out to my old 1138th En Co battle buddies, as Jan31 is the anniversary of a tragic ambush we dealt with 16 years ago.  We talk about the election year and all the trappings involved in what is sure to be a real mess. ultimately we set the stage for a great year.  Thanks for joining us on thi...

This Episode of the compass explores our new favorite slogan: "Make America 50 States again".  As the ShowMe state, we are most interested in a bottom up model of governance where the federal layer responds to the will of the states.  We get to provide our methods over time and encourage other states to adopt our ideas based on merit.   ultimately we don't solve any of the major pro...

Today Dan and I were able to catch up with Eapen Thampy, a lobbyist here in Missouri who is doing incredible work focused around saving lives.  We do a deep dive into psychedelics, psychedelic assisted therapy, PTSD, and why the time is right for a revolution in American mental health treatment. (this was recorded live. the video is on the Missouri Lion YouTube channel.) www.psychedelicmissouri.co...

IMO best episode to date!  We discuss 5th generational warfare. I experience the Mandela Effect live on air and recalibrate my understanding of the difference between the terms "lobster effect" and "frog effect".  Along the way we reveal our new slogan "Make American 50 States again", and discuss the what, when, who, why, and how's of the concept. Audience intera...

Here we have the full post-competition episode with Dan Berlemann, myself, and James Williamson who got 2nd in his bracket at the tourney.  This should be a real treat especially for anyone who is thinking about competing, or who currently competes locally.

Dan and I find a moment over the summer of 2023 to get together for a recording. It is very exciting to have this project off the ground and dropping episodes. Much more to come!

As we get the ball rolling here with The Compass: my good friend and training partner Dan Berlemann helps me unpack a bit about the term kayfabe, why we must reject it without abandoning order and tradition along the way. thank you for joining us on this journey! please feel free to reach out and suggest topics to cover, guests to have on, or just even to simply troll for the lolz.

On this episode of The Compass: Ty Loethen and I expand on freedom, entrepreneurship, and living each of our lives in our own vision.  We catch up from his initial episode on The Missouri Line, promote everything we are currently up to, and shed light on our plans for the future. 

As the compass kicks off: We embark on this journey with the intention of having some fun while diving into some thought provoking conversation.   Thank you for listening.  Feedback is highly encouraged.
