Today we hear the Combat Story of a long-time Green Beret, combat veteran, and retired Sergeant Major Josh Johnson.

Josh spent multiple years downrange in Iraq and Afghanistan, many with 1st Special Forces Group, in combat where he led from the front but also spent years teaching other Green Berets and partner forces.

Josh was selected as an Exchange Officer to the Australian Special Air Services Regiment where he trained and fought alongside our very close Australian brethren. In his last two years of service, Josh focused specifically on leadership development and training.

Since leaving the service, Josh has continued training and developing leaders, this time with Mike Sarraille’s Talent War Group where Josh is a Partner and Senior VP of Leadership Development.

I hope you enjoy this interesting and wide-ranging Combat Story as much as I did.

President Biden, announced new sanctions,  intended to continue crippling Russia’s economy, to retaliate against Russian PresidentVladimir Putin. This, coming amid another week of devastation and tragedy, in Ukraine.

Among the many watching on, anxiously and in horror, was Sergiv Greblov an international student from Kiev Ukraine, studying at Oregon State University, which held an on line panel of local experts this week, entitled“War in Europe: Context and Implications of Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine.”

Downtown Portland is trying to get back some of what’s been lost to the pandemic.  Restaurants, in particular have suffered.  But next week, there’s hope that a celebration will kick off renewal.  I talked to Josh Johnson, who owns Independent Restaurant Concepts, including Paddy’s Bar and Grill… home of a famous celebration, that also raises money to help kids with cancer.

And as clocks spring forward Sunday, do you know that the time change actually impairs our brains' frontal lobes? We hear about that from Dr. Kimberly Hutchison, an Associate Professor of Neurology and Sleep Medicine at OHSU.   She explains how to make the transition easier on mind and body.

Finally, we check in with best selling author and History Channel host: Brad Meltzer, about his newest book and writing career spanning 25 years.

I first spoke to Johnson in 2019 for The Boston Globe, and back then he was already an established headlining comic with a distinct voice. He is a smart joke writer at ease with his own vulnerability, and those are qualities that are only enhanced as he gets bolder as an artist. Most of this episode is centered around Elusive: A Mixtape, his album-length exploration of comedy and music. Johnson isn’t a singer or a musician, but he had an idea that he wanted to put stand-up and music together, so he called some musician friends and made an album that is at turns silly and thoughtful, with live comedy punctuated by music recorded in a studio. It also couldn’t have been easy writing for the Daily Show in a year when it felt like the world was ending, and Johnson shares how working with Trevor Noah has helped him both as a writer and a person. I should note that Johnson’s new one-hour Comedy Central special, Trevor Noah Presents Josh Johnson: #, was released after out conversation. But there was plenty to talk about concerning Elusive, and I’m sure we’ll be hearing much more from Johnson sooner rather than later.

The new album is Elusive: A Mixtape, which you can find on Apple Music and Spotify and wherever you get your music. The new special, #, is on Comedy Central now. You can also see The Daily Show on Comedy Central. His website is www.joshjohnsoncomedy.com, and you can also find him on IG at @joshjohnsoncomedy and Twitter at @joshjohnson.
