Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back. Man, we got a banger of an episode for you today. All right. There are some cool things about my old job. A lot of people think that it is the, I don't know, the apex of what your life could potentially be. And I'm just here to tell you that if today's guest doesn't convince you that that's not the case, I don't know what to tell you.

So there's two people today, two guests, James and Tom. James, I met today. Tom, I served with in the military. Well, I can't say necessarily served directly with him. Apparently, I was a BUDS instructor at around the same time he went through. He has a memory of that. I do not. James, before we get into this, is, man, what a hell of a life the man has lived.

Worked in the bar space for quite some time. He's also an author of A very well-published author. And with Tom, they have created a novel, which is what we're going to get to. But the book is called The Breacher's Playbook. This is a fictional novel. But what I like about this kind of genre is that it's very similar to Jack Carr in many ways, meaning –

lot of truth woven in and when you know what you're looking for you can kind of tell about the authenticity and it speaks to you in that way and then if you just still want to be able to detach your mind you can go down the fictional route as well so i actually think it was james that reached out to me first and i need to read right off of what he wrote tom's background because it's ridiculous

Tom obviously went to Bud's and successfully graduated, served at SEAL Team 1 as a breacher. Before that, he was a professional MMA fighter, 7-0, no big deal. Joined the Navy after 9-11, 10-year career as a SEAL. Then he enrolled in Northwestern University and walked on and played D1 football as a linebacker when he was 32 to 34 years old.

What does somebody do after they've already done all of those things? I don't know. How about continue to stay in school and educate themselves author. Unbelievable. It just goes to show you that you are really limited by the barriers that you put in front of yourself. And I'm going to shut up. I'm going to let them talk for themselves. We're going to get into episode 380 with James and Tom.

Before that though, give me a quick sec. Let's pay the bills. Today's episode is brought to you by Montana Knife Company. I know everybody who listens to the show is familiar with the brand. Last week's episode was with the founder, Josh Smith. It was really cool. We combined like a little bit of a podcast with a little bit of a vlog. Go to montanaknifecompany.com.
