In today's episode, Jordan sits down with Green Beret and Special Forces operator Tu Lam, founder of Ronin Tactics. Tu Lam opens up about escaping genocide in Vietnam as a refugee child, floating on a boat at three years old left for dead, and how that early survival forged the resilience that carried him through 23 years in the military.

From the 82nd Airborne to Ranger School, Special Forces selection, the deployment in Okinawa, and eventually the top tier of army special operations working alongside the CIA, Tu Lam built a career at the tip of the spear. But the war came home with him. In this episode he speaks honestly about a decade of opioid addiction, the hate that made him proficient in combat but a horrible human being, a traumatic brain injury, suicidal thoughts, and the total loss of identity that hit when the uniform came off.

This is also a story about climbing back out. Tu Lam breaks down the practical tools that rebuilt him, from journaling and tracking emotions to their root thoughts, to meditation, gratitude, meditations on death drawn from the Tibetan monks, and ultimately his surrender to faith and his walk with Jesus Christ.

In today's episode, Jordan sits down with Mike Glover, former Special Forces Green Beret, former CIA contractor, and founder of Fieldcraft Survival, for a conversation on elite military training, Delta Force, survival psychology, faith, and the long road back to civilian life.

Mike Glover takes us from a North Carolina childhood spent playing soldier to a five year journey earning the Green Beret, guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Solider as badge holder 470, and serving across nine combat rotations in Afghanistan and Iraq. He shares the reality of Robin Sage training, building host nation forces with the Iraqi Counterterrorism Force, standing up a counter terrorism programme in Libya the month after Benghazi, and the technical reconnaissance work he and Tu Lam carried out inside Delta Force, including a now declassified DARPA drone project that involved a vulture.

This is also a deeply honest account of what comes after the uniform. Mike opens up about losing his identity in transition, the night he hit rock bottom alone on an air mattress, finding his way back through hot yoga, faith in Christ, and the medicine that helped him heal. He breaks down the 10-80-10 rule of survival psychology, his philosophy of operating the outdoors rather than just surviving it, and the three priorities every veteran should rebuild first.

In today's episode, Jordan sits down with Tu Lam, former Green Beret, CIA-trained operator, and CEO of Ronin Tactics, for a conversation about war, faith, and the long road to healing. A child refugee who escaped Vietnam and survived genocide before the age of seven, Tu Lam went on to serve 23 years in US Army Special Forces during the height of the global war on terrorism, becoming the inspiration behind a Call of Duty character and a recognised face in the tactical world.

Behind the warrior image was a man living in silent suffering. In this deeply personal interview, Tu Lam opens up about the spiritual battle that woke him at three o'clock every morning, his journey through psychedelics and plant medicine to confront buried childhood trauma, and how surrendering to his faith in Jesus finally brought him peace. He shares the real meaning behind the Ronin name, the seven virtues of the Bushido code, hard lessons learned working alongside the British SAS and other elite units, and why he came to believe the enemy was never external.

This is a story about awareness, forgiveness, and learning to be present. About carrying two swords, the physical and the spiritual, and finding the balance between them.
