    • Forged in Chaos: Elite Delta Force veteran’s new book reveals groundbreaking theory and flaws in modern medicine’s treatment of PTSD

      Forged in Chaos: Elite Delta Force veteran’s new book reveals groundbreaking theory and flaws in modern medicine’s treatment of PTSD
      Jul 25 2025
      This week we’re talking about the new book, “Forged in Chaos: A Warrior’s Origin Story” by Army Special Operations veteran Tyler Grey. Tyler was the epitome of the modern warrior, a Delta Force operator, master of counterterrorism. He hunted the worst bullies on the world’s playground—high-value targets, bomb makers, warlords—executing covert missions that never made the news- until one mission in Sadr City, Iraq changed everything.” On what should’ve been a routine raid, an explosion ripped through the home shattering his arm and worse; it fractured his identity. Grey describes “chaos addiction” and how most combat veterans share a similar past, which support his groundbreaking LTSD theory, “Lack of Traumatic Stress Disorder”. We hear how this theory explains why Grey managed his mental health crisis with drugs, sex and toxic relationships. We also examine two traits common among combat vets, which he calls “The Warrior and Destroyer”. Grey also revealed serious flaws behind modern medicine’s current PTSD diagnosis, and how anyone who has experienced trauma can learn from his fight to conquer the battle within. This book doesn’t challenge the narrative; it destroys it, laying bare the cost of being forged in chaos.

    • Ranger to Rancher: Valor Provisions delivers great steaks (and more) to your door!

      Ranger to Rancher: Valor Provisions delivers great steaks (and more) to your door!
      Jul 3 2025
      This week we’re talking about veteran business success and the best steaks for your backyard BBQ, with Army Ranger veteran Patrick Montgomery. He shared his journey from warrior to rancher to founder of Valor Provisions, an innovative e-commerce site where consumers can get prime cuts of steak, burgers, and world-famous hot dogs delivered right to their door. We start with his transition from the military to a career in the cattle industry. Montgomery shared how his first attempt in the beef business almost failed. But his dedication to small ethical ranchers resulted in a break that would elevate his small business to a national brand. After his first taste of success, Montgomery shared how rising prices, the corporate-owned beef industry and other factors almost crushed his business. He outlined his innovative e-commerce membership model, and how being open and honest with customers was the real key to Valor Provisions’ success. Montgomery also talked about the premium meats Valor Provisions offers and new additions like grass fed beef and pasture raised chicken. We also learn the real origin story behind the wildly popular Wagyu beef.
