Enjoying the show or have feedback? I'd love to hear from you!
On the latest episode, I chatted with Sergeant Major Jason Baker. Baker is a seasoned Public Affairs Soldier who has spent half his 24-year-long Army career supporting Airborne and Special Operations units. As a flailing fine art photography major in college, he was an unlikely recruit but, an impromptu call from a recruiter changed his life trajectory. A year later he would find himself deployed to Afghanistan and later Iraq. He is passionate about the role of military public affairs in information operations and enjoys consuming the many conversations and debates found in the digital environment.

On this episode, I sat down with Steve and Nate, twin brothers separated by church and tradition. They recently released a book titled "Men Of God Men Of War": two journeys, two stories - and one shared vision. Nate learned his lessons through war and conflict; Steve learned his lessons through the twisting of faith.
If interested in purchasing their book, it is available on Amazon (this episode is not sponsored): https://www.amazon.com/Men-God-Nathan-Smith/dp/1944296263/ref=sr_1_1?sr=8-1
