In this emotional episode, AJ Buckley talks with Scott about guilt, heroes who don’t make it home, and the pressure that never turns off when operators return from deployment. From the song “Heroes” to the story of a lodge built for dads and kids to reconnect, this conversation dives into purpose, faith, and higher calling.

It’s about real boots-on-the-ground support instead of empty posts. Real stories, real tears, and real work for the men and women who gave everything.

Grayson Russell takes it from the Listening Room in Pigeon Forge “redneck Disneyland” by Dollywood to the moment a brutal, true line hit him in Walmart by the salmon. He shares the family truth his dad revealed, why his mom didn’t know, and how it became the song “Turned Out Good,” played for crowds from 100 to 30- 40,000 then bringing his dad on stage as the evidence.

They also hit old soul songwriting, Irish ballads, touring, opening for Grammy winners, and the episode’s closing stretch on kids, purpose, and life on the road.

AJ Buckley talks with Daniel Corbett SEAL Team Six operator and author of "The American Mercenary" about the future fight: a “gorilla squadron” operating in onesies and twosies, language-driven intel, and why full-scale assault elements are fading.

Corbett breaks down Green Team’s unforgiving standard, shatters the biggest mercenary myth—no ethics and explains how saying “absolutely not” is part of the job. The conversation turns to Serbia, where there’s no jury only a judge and how that ordeal rewired his approach to risk, trust, and knowing exactly when to walk away.
