He Built An $80 Million Disaster Response In 60 Days Without the Government Adam Smith's Story When Hurricane Helene devastated Western North Carolina, one man stepped up—without orders, without funding, and without waiting for permission. Former Green Beret Adam Smith shares how he led a volunteer force of thousands, delivered over 5.5 million pounds of aid, and created an $80 million impact in just 60 days—all while government agencies scrambled. This raw and unfiltered conversation with Jeff Dudan breaks down the failures of federal disaster response, the rise of the "Redneck Air Force," and what real leadership looks like under pressure. 🔗 Connect with Adam Smith SAVAGE FREEDOMS Adam's Instagram 👇 Who’s more prepared to respond in a crisis—government or private citizens?
