Guess what? You don’t need another Instagram quote about "manifesting your dream life." You need a personal revolution. This week on Ones Ready, we bring in the savage soul surgeon himself — David Waldy, the Fierce Empathy Coach — to rip your excuses straight out by the roots and hand you a shovel to dig your way out of mediocrity.

We dive deep into the real work: why self-sabotage is lazy thinking, how forgiveness isn’t for your abuser — it's for your freedom — and why clarity, constructs, commitment, and consistency (yeah, C4, baby!) are the only real bombs you should be setting off in your life.

If you've ever used "trauma" as a participation trophy or wondered why you can’t seem to get unstuck no matter how many motivational videos you watch, this one's for you. (Spoiler: it's you. You're the problem. And the solution.)

Stay tuned, stay uncomfortable, and stop being allergic to your own potential.

🔥 Key Takeaways:

• You Are Not Your Trauma: Stop worshiping your wounds like they’re personality traits.
• Fierce Empathy > Fake Empathy: Real empathy demands truth — not participation trophies.
• Reprogram or Stay Programmed: Your brain is just a scratched CD... fix it or keep skipping.
• The Power of C4: Clarity, Constructs, Commitment, Consistency — blow up your old self and build better.
• Selfish is Selfless: Prioritize you if you actually want to serve others well.
• No One’s Coming to Save You: God gave you the gifts — it’s your job to sharpen them.

In this unapologetically chaotic daily drop, Jared rolls through everything from drones dropping grenades to pedos in court and AI that’s apparently too complex for senior leadership to Google. Welcome to the April 30th edition of the Ones Ready podcast—where we break down the actual DoD news that gets sent to generals...and then we make fun of it.

From failed Firefly launches to tribal warfare over F-15EX seating arrangements, this episode is basically the Pentagon's group chat with better commentary. Also, find out which documentary produced by the Obamas might make you respect the Thunderbirds (but probably won’t), and why the “Women, Peace, and Security” program was killed for being “woke,” even though it came from the Trump administration. Yeah, we’re confused too.

Stick around for:

• A take on why AI still scares generals more than enlisted TikToks
• A borderline unhinged breakdown of why drone swarms are everyone's problem
• Whether dropping 500lb bombs equals dead livestock in Houthi press releases
• Thoughts on Thunderbirds, martial law, and why fake rifles in basic are weak sauce

And yes—don’t forget to like, subscribe, comment, check out 18AlphaFitness, and hit up the Ones Ready merch store. This podcast is for operators, future operators, and the people wondering why military budgeting is run like a reality show.

🔥 Key Takeaways:

• 🛩️ Homeland drone defense is lacking, and quadcopters are getting spicy.
• 🤖 Military AI adoption is a disaster, mostly because leadership doesn’t understand it.
• 🧨 Yemen claims 70 civilians dead from U.S. strikes… we call B.S.
• 💣 F-15EX tribal wars: Do we need a WSO or nah?
• 🪖 Fake rifles in basic? Major General Davidson thinks so. Jared disagrees.
• 🎥 Netflix Thunderbirds doc drops soon—produced by Barack and Michelle. You heard that right.
• ⚖️ Officer at Nellis faces trial for child sex crimes. Innocent until proven guilty, but still gross.
• 🚀 Firefly launch failed—satellite took a nosedive into the Pacific. Oof.
• 📜 Congress increased the defense budget, because obviously.
• 🚓 Trump’s martial law-lite EO freaks out civil liberties folks.
• 👩🏿‍💼 6888t

You thought the official stories were safe? Think again. This week, Ones Ready goes nuclear with Matt Cubbler — Army veteran, retired cop, and the man Special Operations would really prefer you ignore. We dive into why Matt’s been dubbed the “SEAL Killer” (spoiler: it’s not because he stormed a compound) and how decades of government gaslighting, backroom deals, and military industrial self-worship led to the cover-ups of heroes like John Chapman and Job Price.

From exposing the Wizard-of-Oz level fraud inside the SEAL brand, to calling out the government's disturbing addiction to "just trust us, bro," this episode rips the mask clean off. If you're still clinging to bedtime stories about flawless American heroism, go ahead and unsubscribe now — it's about to get real uncomfortable.

Stay tuned, stay mad, and don't forget: If you're not questioning it, you're part of it.

🔥 Key Takeaways:

• Government Gaslighting 101: Matt’s first-hand account of realizing the “system” was built on preserving itself — not truth.
• The John Chapman Cover-Up: How crystal-clear video footage STILL couldn't break through the Pentagon’s PR machine.
• Who Killed Job Price? Spoiler: It wasn’t Job.
• Why the SEAL Community’s Problems Aren’t "Bad Apples" — It’s the Whole Orchard.
• Why “trust but verify” should just be “verify and then still don't trust.”
• How bureaucratic self-preservation kills truth, careers, and sometimes heroes.
• The new documentary: pulling the rug out from under decades of SEAL fairy tales.
