On this episode of the Liberty Risk Podcast, Tim Speer is back - and this time we go way past how he got to the Teams.

If you heard his first episode (way back on number 6!), you already know the origin story. High school chaos, figuring it out the hard way, and forcing his way into the SEAL pipeline when the odds said otherwise.

This one opens the way every great Liberty Risk episode should - with a shirtless man standing on a table, reciting the Frogman Toast from memory.

From there it o...

This episode we sit down with Grant Harvey - actor, adventurer, and living proof that sometimes the craziest stories in Hollywood happen off camera.
