Meet Your Host: Steve Hallman
“I believe that a natural inclination to be comfortable is the very thing that prevents so many people from becoming all that they were designed to be. At the center of this battle against complacency is my faith and understanding that in and of my own strength I am incapable of victory in this world.”
Steve’s careers in elementary education and law enforcement have taught him that to find meaning in our pursuits we need to embrace humility, ask better questions, and listen more. Listening to the wisdom of others has inspired Steve to exercise self-discipline, pursue truth through faith, and maintain high levels of integrity, which have resulted in greater resilience in the face of life’s interruptions.
“I cannot avoid every interruption in life, but I am able to have a positive perspective and execute tactics that will enable me to move past the difficult ones.”
Steve Hallman is a devoted husband, father of three young children, avid outdoors man, and founder of the Interrupted Movement.
Brace For Impact with Kegan "Smurf" Gill
Finding hope following a horrific Naval aviation crash is exactly what Kegan “SMurF” Gill did. After years of preparation and training to fly a US Navy F/A -18E Super Hornet, Kegan found himself bracing for impact when his jet was speeding toward the Atlantic Ocean at nearly the speed of sound. In January of 2014 over the icy waters of the Atlantic Kegan sustained devastating injuries from a high-speed ejection into the sound barrier. After over a dozen surgeries, two years of rehabilitation and weening himself off high dosage pain meds he returned to flying Super Hornets. Eventually he started to struggle from delayed onset PTSD and cognitive impairments from his severe traumatic brain injury. Pharmaceutical psych medication worsened his symptoms to the point of being hospitalized in a psychosis. After years of struggling in the VA healthcare system, nearly loosing his family and fighting the urge of suicide he discovered a variety of alternative treatments including psychedelics. He is now off all psych medications and truly healing his mind, body and soul. Kegan is committed to having a positive and lasting impact on others who have experienced significant physical and mental health injuries and desires to show others that there is a different path to healthy living.
Winning at One G and Zero Knots with Wes Woodhouse
Today on the show, I am joined by Wes Woodhouse who is a United States Air Force fighter Pilot and trains everyday to face today’s most potent military threats. Wes Flies the F-15E Strike Eagle. He has tested and built a satellite that is currently orbiting the Earth, used to calibrate earth-based satellite tracking systems. But these efforts merely face the challenges of today. Wes believes that as we transition out of the Information Age and into a new ‘Age’, the most valuable resource will be human attention. The visible battlefield requires technology. The invisible battlefield is in the mind of every one of us. Wes’s attention is on building up the next generation of leaders, prepared to face the human, technological, and geo-political challenges of the next several decades.
