Liberty Risk

On this episode of the Liberty Risk Podcast, former Army Ranger Jon Wechter returns for round two - and if you thought his first appearance was wild, this one somehow goes even further.

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. Jett Cruzz Lanoha, former SEAL Team 3 operator, does the thing right, and what follows is a nearly-lost piece of SEAL culture that the old guys had to physically threaten him into learning. 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.

Grant's path into acting started the way most good stories do: irrational confidence, a couple weird opportunities, and a last-minute decision to drive to LA with no money, no plan, and a mattress he pulled off the sidewalk. Somehow that tur...

This week we sit down with Tim Pyles - San Diego's "Mayor of Local Music" - for a long-form conversation that feels less like an interview and more like closing down a bar with someone who's seen every version of this city.

If Part 1 was Navajo roots, SEAL Team life, cryptids, and Brian trying to make sense of God and the unseen… Part 2 is where the mission shifts inward.

After leaving the Navy, Brian finds himself standing at the edge of an entirely different world, one that has nothing to do with war zones or deployments, and everything to do with rebuilding a life from the ground ...

This episode of Liberty Risk goes somewhere we've never been before.
