This is an incredible episode chalk full of fun and interesting theories of better communication and presentation. We talk with renowned Speaking Coach, John Bates as we dive into the importance of communicating on an emotional level, rather than a level based on logic. humans are irrational and make choices based on feelings, not sound logic. There is a ton of stuff in this episode that will help you become, not only a better public speaker but, a better communicator all around.

#60!!! As we continue to podcast and people continue to talk to us and reach out, this questions has come up often. "What do you guys listen to?" Thank you to my buddy Chase for asking us to do an entire episode about the podcasts that we listen too and the content we consume. Hope you love the suggestions!

Today is Memorial Day. First off, let’s take a moment to remember the men and women that have given their lives in an opportunity to defend our freedom and way of life..... Today, Major Will Kerrigan of the Baton Rouge Marines joins us to talk about the significance of today and how each of us observe Memorial Day.

Recently Retired SgtMaj. Max Garcia joins us to talk about significance. "i'm a significance junkie. I know that about myself and I want to do things that are significant." We believe that er all have this thought even if it is buried under a few layers of self-loathing and criticism. His book, "The Abundance Factor" talks about how you can do the things in your life that are significant to you.

Remi Adeleke joins us today!!! Remi is a Former Navy SEAL, Author, and film writer. His story is absolutely incredible and we were so grateful to have him on the 2Marines 1MIc Podcast. His Book, "Transformed" drops May 14th, and we highly suggest you get yourself a copy!

Today we're joined by Chris Coker! Chris is the host of The Suit Solider Podcast which brings in Veterans that are doing extraordinary things in their lives after Service and asks them to translate some of those experiences. We dive into how we each define success and the steps and processes we each use to grow towards that best version of ourselves.

Follow our audio journey through the life of Chad Robichaux. From Force Recon Marine and Professional MMA Fighter to suicidal and absent in the lives of his wife and kids. Chad has found his way to his most purposeful self as a loving Husband and Father as well as the President and Founder of The Mighty Oaks Program. His new Mission is to help Veterans in the "worst case scenario" get back in the fight and lead again.

This week on the 2Marines 1Mic Podcast we welcome fellow Magnificent Bastard, Scott Huesing. Scott is a retired Marine Corps Major, New York Times Bestselling Author (Echo In Ramadi), Philanthropist, and Community Builder. We get into the depths of human connection and some specific experiences that brought us all to our conclusions.

Absolutely incredible podcast with THE Rudy Reyes. Recon Marine, Actor, Entrepreneur, and Conservationist, Rudy talks about finding his way through some really dark and rough patches in his life and career. The most inspiring message of hope that we have ever had on this show. AN ABSOLUTE MUST LISTEN!

We're in the effort business! Matt and his wife Chelsea have been extremely supportive and inspirational to us on our journey with both this podcast and with Patriot. Their story is incredible and they happen to be great friends of ours. The story of FroPro; how and why building and serving your community is so important... Be grateful for everything you take for granted and most importantly, relax, It's a fucking snack. @gofropro @matthewwarrenwilliams @chelseawilliams GoFroPro.com

Second time is a charm!! We love getting to chat With Sandra! What an incredible woman with such an incredible mission. She takes her Marine Mindset and helps women transform their lives by guiding them to the same type of thinking. True Grit is all we really need. Step Up and Accept Responsibility!!

Thanks to you, we made it to 50 episodes!! We're so excited to continue the 2Marines 1Mic Podcast and for you to continue listening. In #50 we recap some of the ideas we express often and some of the amazing guests that have graced our show. If this is your first time listening, Welcome!! it's never too late to start right now!

Trust is the backbone of any relationship. We just happening to be talking about the relationship that exists between a company and its consumer. In this case, it's a literal consumer that ingests the products we are referencing. It is our duty, as business owners, as Veterans, as human beings with hearts and families to ensure that our customers can trust what we tell them. They expect that we have their best interests ahead of our own and that their safety and well being is more important than any dollar we can make from them. This is true for us and we will continue to do the right thing NO MATTER WHAT.

In All Honesty, the only thing that really matters is what you believe. If you believe in an idea, actually believe in it and, more importantly, believe in yourself. Because, In All Honesty, if you can't bet on yourself, who else is going to? Take action and then make a plan. Be patient and persistent.

#47..... It's been a hell of a week for both of us and this episode gave us a great opportunity to talk about perspective and what's important to us. All we really have is right now. What are you doing with your time?

In prep for a talk we gave to the Middle Schoolers at American Heritage Boca/Delray, we go really deep into what makes each of us who we are. A must listen! Neither of us ever "had it made." We've both worked and still work extremely hard to keep ourselves moving forward. Resourcefulness > Resources.

Communication is the foundation of every relationship we have. At the most basic level, communication is how we make people feel, not just by spoken word but, with our body language and intentions. SgtMaj. Mario Fields has had an extensive career leading Marines and is beginning his transition into civilian life. The Most Motivated Marine In The Marine Corps is the founder of Global Inspirational Speakers and Still Serving Inc. for-profit and not-for-profit speaking bureaus respectively. The Mission is to bring Dynamic Veteran Speakers to Corporate America to share their experiences.

Hard Work Works. Pro MMA fighter, bodybuilder, powerlifter, gym owner, and now the Strength and Conditioning Coach to the best MMA fighters in the World, Phil Daru is THE example of "if you want something, put the work in to get it." Pleasure talking with him about his process and everything in between.

The way people feel when they leave an interaction with you is their perception. What can we do to insure that we are communicating effectively and getting through the message we believe we are passing on. We can all become better communicators. MOD: Become aware of how people are interacting with you and how you're making them feel during that interaction.

In the past five years or so, there has been a lot of talk about "balance." What is balance? Is balance what I really even want? If so, what does that look like? After years of getting frustrated, I decided to stop chasing balance. At the end of it, I realized I never actually wanted "balance" in the first place. There will be chapters and points in your life where work will take up more focus than your home life; the opposite applies too. Stop seeking balance. it doesn't exist the way that you want it too. MOD: Be present in everything that you do and take time to work on yourself.
