In this episode of The Team House, we sit down with a former U.S. Army Special Forces (Green Beret) combat medic who also spent time with the 75th Ranger Regiment, tracing his path from enlistment through the SF pipeline and into high-tempo operational assignments. He breaks down the realities of unconventional warfare, battlefield trauma care and medevac under pressure, and lessons learned from deployments and partner-force work (including the Gulf War and training alongside Pakistan’s SSG). We also get into building combatives and medical training programs, leadership on an ODA, and how 9/11 reshaped the mission and the generation that followed.Today's Sponsors:Qualia Life ⬇️Take control of your cellular health today.
