You're listening to software, radio, special operations, military news and straight talk with the guys in the community.

Hello, everyone. Welcome back to software, radio. I'm your host, Steve Valsuri.

Software, radio on time on target. And we have a very special guest with us today.

We have Sean, also known as Buck Rogers.

And Barry is an author. We're going to talk about Sean's book.

And by the way, I have to say, I love the nickname Buck. So Buck Rogers is perfect.

But anyway, Sean has written a book. It's, it's called Rising Above.

And he talks about a simple car accident, changed the life of him when he was six years old.

And everything from that point forward, pretty much went haywire for him until basically he became an adult. And we're going to get into all that.

Sean is a, he's a green beret. He was a police officer. He's now an entrepreneur and he has my utmost respect. He's also an ultra marathoner, which a, you know, all I'll say is when I was in SF, I ran because I had to not because I liked to and I ran half marathon once instead I would never do it again.

Anyone who can do an ultra marathon is tops in my book. He also does a great podcast called the FNG Academy.

So now we have a guy from the FNG Academy talking to a FOG. And for those of you who don't know what that means, you can look it up.

So Sean, welcome to software radio.

Thanks. Thanks for having me, man. I appreciate you having me on in those. That was a great intro, man. I like that. I definitely love talking to FOG.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. And I'm definitely FOG and I'm going to date myself here shortly when we get into it. But one of the things I really liked because, you know, when I got your book, I started checking out your podcast.

The podcast is really excellent, by the way.

And I encourage all of our, all of our listeners to check that out as well. It's the FNG Academy.

And it's all about creating a mindset and it's covers a lot of the things that I've written about because one of the things that software passed me to write about was for people that want to challenge themselves.

And get into special operations and how do you prepare? And I think that it delves a lot into that, doesn't it?

Oh, yeah. Yeah. That's, that's kind of the goal is to help people, even if you're not trying to go special operations, you could use the mindsets of becoming special operations in whatever career path that you're trying to go.

So, you know, regardless of what you choose to do with your life, we all, we all give a lot of respect to special operations guys for a very specific reason. That's because they've overcome so many mental and physical challenges to get to that point.

First, how did they do that? How do we break that down and help guys become special operations and influence the next generation of warriors to be better than we were so we could have, you know, even more elite army than we already do now.
