Joining us on this week's show is an incredibly interesting man, who is trying his best to put Canadians at the forefront of military thrillers through his writing. Not only is Michael a retired intel officer with CAF, and an author, he's also a full-time law student, craziness! Big thank you to Michael for making the trip to Ottawa specifically to speak with us, and tell us about all the good work he's got going on.

His new book comes out December 9th, and is available here: https://www.michaeljlalonde.com/

We'll be honest here, we've been talking about this podcast since we recorded it. Brad has an incredible background from Marine Force Recon, where he starred in the book Generation Kill, to training of government agencies, and now starting a whiskey brand, he is a wealth of knowledge and truly one of the best conversations we've had, and hope to have more of.

Brad also has a podcast! You can listen to it here: https://www.patreon.com/bradicemancolbert

This was a very cool experience for us, and something we're hoping to do more of moving forward, speaking with men and women of the armed forces from around the world.

It won't always be a discussion about tactics and deployments, as you'll hear in this interview with Andy, but we are looking to explore the experiences as a whole from other operators.

This is really our first online pod, so the look and feel may still change, but we sincerely hope you enjoy it - and please, if you aren't already, give Andy a follow!

Randy and Mark's friendship dates back well over a decade and is deeply rooted in martial arts. Mark is a business owner, former UFC fighter, father, and phenomenal human being. He has lived 100 lives with the time he has spent on this earth to date. I can assure you, there will be a part 2.

Enjoy!
