Interview with Terry Don West

Brett "Matt" Moore is our Distinguished Grit guest today. 

We had the honor of talking with Matt and dove into his life and his journey, touching on everything from the loss of his father to suicide as a young age, to his experiences good and bad in the war.  Marriage and divorce.   We talked of personal struggles and professional triumphs.  How therapy helped a lot, the stigma surrounding it, and dove in to Matt's friendships and his promising real estate career.

Please leave the podcast a review and let us know what you think of the full podcast episode.

Michael "Mike" Dalske joins us to talk about his time in the U.S. Army and U.S  Federal Air Marshal service.

Mikes Army and Law Enforcement service includes combat in the 1990s Gulf War,  continued service with the 101st Airborne Division and over two decades as a U.S  Federal Air Marshal (FAM).   Mike's service includes being a firearms instructor for the FAM academy, which boasts one of the stringent courses of fire in law enforcement.   Mike recently coached a 1st place win in the Tactical Games and now spends his retirement riding his motorcycle raising money for various veterans charities.

This was a great chance to sit down with a great friend who has experienced a lot in life.   I'm glad Mike was able to join me to share stories in what's been a full career of service and lifes adventures along the way.
