  • Choices Not Chances Podcast Episode 104 - Jo Patti X on child trafficking
    Mar 3 2026

    Jo Munisteri has been on the show 2 times before and joins us today to talk about the world of good versus evil. A world that was seemingly so dark, I wouldn't believe most of it. But, with the revelations of the E. files, many of the conspiracies are not conspiracies at all. Jo spent time working around the world on behalf of different NGOs. Some of this work was dangerous, and some of the key players in command were just as corrupt as you would imagine. This is one of the more intense shows that we have had concerning trafficking and the dark underworld of power and politics.

    Mar 3 2026

    In this episode, we sit down with Matthew St Pierre. A retired Marine Gunner who has been around the block. He has been through the fire and brought the lessons out of the other side. Featured in the book "On Combat" by Dave Grossman (Episode 40), as he gathered his teams and squads for a debrief after the gunfights. He is/was a leader of men. In this episode, we talk about Medal of Honor recipient Cpl. Jason Dunham and his heroics. St. Pierre also talks in depth about the loss of Major Gannon on the Syrian border. A place that I later fell in on, by that time, rightfully named Camp Gannon. There is a wealth of information in this episode, and I hope you enjoy it.
