–Rob Rens

Hello there, and welcome to Episode 2 of “Bullshit Sessions: Stupid Conversations for Smart People,” where our job is to bring you groundbreaking insight on inane topics purely for your entertainment.

This week we are discussing:

  1. Songs you wish would get played at dinner parties
  2. Where are the worst drivers in the world?
  3. Words that should be pronounced differently
  4. Cool shit happening in space

To help me with all of this, we have:

  • Co-Host and our resident thespian/comedian: J Kay Weldon
  • Co-Host and muscle junkie: Evan Anderson
  • Co-Host and noticeably absent insurance agent: Rob Rens (played by a potato)

No veteran should feel like civilian life is purgatory. It’s my job to help professionally ambitious post-9/11 veterans avoid entrapment in transition purgatory by challenging the B.S. of Conventional Transition Wisdom.

I challenge the B.S. of Conventional Transition Wisdom by breaking down the mindsets, strategies, and tactics of world-class experts (Titans) to help veterans compress the transition learning curve.

Learning directly from Titans helps veterans escape entrapment by avoiding the costly mistakes encouraged by Conventional Transition Wisdom.

Nate Boyer – Making a Film, Frustration with Politics, and Why You Shouldn’t Worry About Starting at the Bottom (Episode #19)

“We’re innovators and we’re gonna change the game a little bit here. Y’know? And we’ll probably piss a lot of people off.”

– Nate Boyer

Hello everyone, welcome to Episode #19 of the “Spotlight Podcast: Success Stories for Veterans” where it is our job to breakdown and analyze Titans in both the military and civilian communities to discover their tactics, mindset, and systems so that you can apply them to your life, and your transition. Those titans range from NYT best-selling authors, to former heads of state, to other divergent thinkers who dominate their field by challenging conventional wisdom.

Today we are interviewing Nate Boyer.

Nate’s transition story began when he left active duty with the Green Berets to attend the University of Texas, where he earned a starting spot on the football team as a walk-on. Nate went on to gain more national attention for his role in the Colin Kaepernick protest.
Now Nate is making films, working with Mission 6 Zero, and featured in the book Deliberate Discomfort.

So how does Nate do it all? Listen and find out.

P.S. Don’t forget to check out Mission 6 Zero and the book from their team Deliberate Discomfort.
