On today's episode, Dennis is joined again by with RET. Delta Force Operator and Founder of Blue Bearing Solutions, Kyle Morgan.

Kyle is the Founder & CEO at Blu Bearing Solutions & for the past 20 years, he's served our country by fighting with elite special operations units in the harshest environments. He strived for excellence in everything he did and discovered that he thrives at leading cross-functional teams, creating inclusion, and making critical decisions under extreme stress. Kyle has been at the frontlines of every American kinetic conflict since 9/11.  Starting as an infantryman in Iraq in 2003, then as a Special Forces Green Beret, and for the last 11 years as a Special Operator within the Army’s 1st SFOD-D Combat Applications Group, where he led and managed elite teams that specialize in hostage rescue.  

Of all his experiences in the Service, one of the most challenging days was reacting to an attack while deployed as a Special Operations Advisor to the US Embassy in Bamako, Mali. His mission was to be a military advisor to the US Ambassador. This deployment had him engaging high-level State Department officials wearing a suit daily. Nothing about this was kinetic, but without regard for his safety, he ran towards the sounds of gunfire and relied on the training he had up to that point; Kyle formed a small team and led them to intervene in this horrendous terrorist attack on the Radisson Blu hotel in Bamako, Mali on 20 November 2015. Hundreds of innocent civilians were being held, hostage. This attack claimed the lives of twenty-three innocent civilians, including one American citizen. 

This attack challenged him physically, mentally, and spiritually. Physically they were in control, and he had to fight on their terms. Mentally he had no time to prepare for what unfolded. Spiritually the evil that transpired and he witnessed was disgusting. This was the longest day of Kyle's life. That pushed his personal & professional abilities to new heights. He'll always be grateful for the personal development that happened during those very long and frustrating days that followed.  Blu Bearing Solutions is the culmination of his career in the military.

They focus on building the “Protector” mindset and firearms instruction designed for law enforcement officers and law-abiding citizens, teaching students active shooter & crisis response tactics being used on the battlefield today by one of the most elite fighting forces in the world.”

Today, Dennis and Kyle discuss standardized active shooter training, the problems of receiving proper training, holding yourself accountable, never staying stagnant, safe guarding and helping others, the negatives of comparing trauma, learning to love yourself and making sacrifices and showing up every single day.
