Episode description as stored

Former Navy SEAL Joe Taverner joins us to discuss his career from joining the Navy before 9/11 to deployments in the Philippines, Iraq, Afghanistan, and the fight against ISIS. He breaks down hunting Abu Sayyaf in Zamboanga, working with Polish GROM in Baghdad, the Battle of Najaf, and the 2016 Battle of Tel Skuf where Charlie Keating was killed in action. This episode also covers leadership after loss, how the SEAL Teams evolved during the GWOT, and Joe’s current work in directed energy weapons, laser defense, and counter-drone technology. https://www.aureliussystems.com/ Today's Sponsor: Quince⬇️ go to: https://www.quince.com/house for free shipping and 365 day returns GhostBed ⬇️ https://www.ghostbed.com/house FOR 10% off!
