gives thanks to the men and women around the Globe in pursuit or possession of The Crab. It truly takes a different caliber of human to say “Sign me up to blow s**t up.”10 years of service on the bomb squad gave me a lifetime of memories with incredible people, experiences and benefits. Despite all the challenges, I would do it all again.

Thank you to all former, current and future EOD Operators.

Proud to be a patriot. Proud to be American.

Humanity is Still Early

Delusional. Bipolar. Schizophrenic. Autistic. Narcissistic.
All the same compliment. Fortunate to get to learn some cool stuff and work with some incredible people. Our obsession with the progression of humanity is worth the cost and we have much work to do.

My therapist said I suffer from Visions of Grandeur and that I would never be capable of building these visions…

Is she right? We’ll unpack that later but as we flirt with doing the impossible…as we provide more value to our share holders, robust platforms for our partners and launch pads for our customers…I’m enjoying working with incredible people to bring those “visions” to life.

We’re still in the flirting stage and even if we crash and burn, it was a love worth fighting for.

An unprecedented alliance.

Continuity.

is the only word I can use to explain this journey. Its not everyday you get the opportunity to work on projects you only dreamed of as a boy. But I do and it is nothing short of overwhelming, gratifying and rewarding at the same time. The opportunity to work with and around incredible people on an incredible mission to do incredible things…I feel like I won the lottery. And with T-minus 32 days to go until the official launch of HEROS II, its only the beggining.

Thanking God for what I am experiencing right now.

660 episodes is no everyday feat.

90% of podcasts do not make it past episode 3.

Of the remaining 10%, 90% quit before reaching episode 20.

Only 10% of podcasts ever reach 50 episodes.

So at 660 episodes, ENDURE BEYOND has entered the top 1% of podcasts by sheer endurance — surviving the collapse points where most shows disappear.

And even though I’ve had to work 10x harder than my white counterparts to receive a fraction of the recognition, I know exactly where we stand.

By the time the world catches up to what ENDURE BEYOND represents, we won’t even want the recognition.

So keep the applause.

Keep the flowers.

Keep the chair.

Keep the table too.

The chip on my shoulder is too big for it anyway.

Thank you to the investors, listeners, supporters, and real ones who have stood with us since day one.

We are not waiting to be validated.

We are building something they will eventually have to acknowledge.

As a boy I was obsessed with heroes and super soldiers. I thought, what if Captain America was real?

Introducing S5 Doctrine…Super Soldier Survivability, Stability, and Sustainment…a Titanworks research and operational framework focused on preserving enhanced warfighter effectiveness in environments that rapidly degrade ordinary human performance.

Rather than treating the “super soldier” as a narrow question of strength, speed, or augmentation, S5 reframes enhancement as a systems problem centered on three interlocking variables: survivability, stability, and sustainment.

S5 doctrine addresses the reality that next-generation warfighters will increasingly operate in hardened, confined, degraded, and technologically mediated environments

More to come.
