THE Wartime Leadership Podcast

THE Wartime Leadership Podcast: The Resiliency of divorced, but not denied, dad Dwight Scott! Dwight is a retired US Air Force Security Forces member AND a former teamie of mine when we served as Military Training Instructors together. Dwight retired from the military to focus on his growing family and to allow the dust of the battle rhythm to settle, only to find himself struggling alongside his wife. Separated and living apart, Dwight was taken to court for child support, unknowingly having to represent himself against a well-educated attorney his estranged wife had hired. The attorney questioned his character, the quality of service to our country and his role as a father. Life became overly complicated quickly, but foundational things remained constant… Dwight’s dedication to God and God’s love for Dwight.

Always focused on personally developing those around him, Dwight put pen to paper to write some of the most amazing, heartfelt words I have ever read. In his book The Armed Forces Devotional Guide to a Fulfilling Career Dwight wrote: “A military career is about sacrificing and protecting the freedom and liberties of those around you. How can you continue the drive to accomplish the mission while having an internal force that can prevent burnout? The answer is this: by renewing your spirit and allowing God's power in all aspects of your life. Many military members understand how to improve their physical fitness or gain education through classes, but how do we gain spiritual fitness...The uniform we wear is indeed the fabric of our nation; however, we neglect the stitching that holds it all together--our heavenly Father.” Dwight is turning his pain into God’s glory by writing a currently untitled devotional for divorcees...till then you can find his current books at the links provided below:

THE Wartime Leadership Podcast: The Resiliency of Ghost Helper Tina Erwin. Tina is passionate about being a "Ghost Helper." Her mission is to teach the living how to help the dead. She wants to empower everyone to help any ghost they may find. Tina says that this is the compassion we will all want for ourselves.

Tina has studied metaphysics all of her life, gaining insight into the mystical world of spirituality. She is the author of eight books on metaphysics. Her writing comes from an intense desire to know and understand the hard science behind the unseen world of action and reaction combined with a sincere desire to share this understanding with other knowledge seekers.

Ghosts just seem to find Tina. It's as if she’s a "ghost magnet." In every single case, Tina says that these ghosts are looking for help and they tell her why they didn't cross over; they tell her their stories. She assists these souls by crossing them into the Heaven World. When a psychic only connects to a dead person, the ghost does not receive the critical assistance they desperately need.

Her lifelong studies into the deeper meaning of events and actions were further enhanced by the experiences of a dynamic 20-year career in the Navy, working for the U.S. Submarine Force, retiring at the Commander level. Commander Erwin found the Navy to be a tremendous schoolhouse in which to study all the facets of behavior and karma, from the worst to the finest levels of humanity. She has a Master’s Degree in Business and Management.

You can find all of her books on AMAZON.COM You can learn more about Tina at TinaErwin.com and GhostHelpers.com

THE Wartime Leadership Podcast: The Resiliency of EveryWarrior.org’s Trey McGuire!! Prior to 2014, Trey began noticing a trend, and that trend was unacceptable to him. Serving in a local church, Trey worked hand in hand with young adults of our area. The more service members he met, the more he noticed that our Warriors were alone, isolated, and, sometimes, forgotten. That hole was something that he set out to fill.
Over the years, a tight knit group of Airmen, Soldiers, Sailors, and Marines alongside Trey set their sights on filling what was missing with a makeshift extended "family". Out of that small "family" of brothers, the first Warrior's Thanksgiving Feast was born, as a way to make sure our local Warriors were not alone at Thanksgiving. From that November 2014 night, the idea of a non-profit organization was born.

THE Wartime Leadership Podcast: The Resiliency of IED Survivor Shane Vincent! May 24th, 2007, former BMX Olympic superstar, Shane Vincent’s Cavalry troop was headed back from a seemingly routine mission in Iraq when his Humvee tripped a wire which was connected to a roadside improvised explosive device. The IED was built to eliminate a tank but flipped his Humvee over 100 feet into the air, flipping countless times before finally crashing into the ground. As the twisted heap of metal smoldered, Shane was thought dead with a broken neck, back, jaw, and pelvis. Placed into a medically-induced coma, Shane had no memory of the explosion. He woke several weeks later stuttering, confused, and disoriented.

 This 4th of July edition finds us looking at the resilience of a true American hero as we discuss the fight and battle after “the battle”. Inspiring does NOT start to describe this conversation and the courage of Shane and his family. Shane’s fight back embodies The Warrior Ethos: “I will always place the mission first.

Like many others, he was taught to work hard, grind, hustle, put in the sweat equity, sacrificing time, money health and family and just continue doing, chasing dreams and eventually, one day, it will all be worth it. But, there came a moment in life where he realized this was not the only way to a desired life, nor to achieving success and so much more.

Dr. Vic was tired from being burnt out every 4-6 months.  He was tired of not feeling satisfied with my success and the massive impact in his community.  Dr. Vic felt unfulfilled. He decided to stop DOING and start focusing on the BEING side of things.

Dr. Vic had studied 10-12 different techniques on energy healing which taught him more than just the healing arts.  It taught him spirituality, studying Universal Laws, while learning more on how quantum physics is showing how consciousness affects physical matter. He started to look into his own limiting beliefs, the power of the subconscious, how his mind was programmed from an early age and understand the power of reframing one’s mind.

Dr. Vic ended up working less, making more, leading a more fulfilled and soul-filled life. Every aspect of life transformed to higher and higher levels.

He has now learned how to construct the ‘future self’ and utilize the science and ancient wisdom to achieve that.  Now Dr. Vic has taught this process to 100s of business owners in 22 different professions and 4 different countries.

Additionally, he introduces us to the love of his life, The woman who would become his wife, Desiree. Roberts navigates us through how two different paths: his finance journey in Abu Dhabu and how Desiree excelled in the MD/Ph.D program at Mt. Sinai of New York City. These two paths eventually formed into one cohesive trail. That’s when the couple was hit with some of the most difficult news a married couple can endure. That news, and the aftereffects led Robert down a path of rediscovery and purpose.
