The Rooftop PodcastThe Return of Task Force Pineapple Ep. 396I believe in getting big sh*t done even when nobody else is coming. I believe it to my core. This country is built on this concept. For me, one of those areas is mobilizing the GWOT Generation of veterans and military family members to solve wicked problems that supplement the gaps that are often not filled by the federal government. The abandonment of our Afghan Allies. The wildfires in Maui. The hurricane - ravaged hills of Western North Carolina. Our veteran network brings enormous horsepower to solving tough problems. It’s the ultimate private public partnership and it’s ch...2024-10-2530 minThe Rooftop PodcastWhat’s My Role When Nobody Is Coming?I get this question a lot. It can seem like a daunting reality when we arrive at the conclusion that some of our biggest problems in life require fully stepping into the arena and leading the way to solving these wicked problems. But, the truth is…once you take that first step on wobbly knees, there is a level of compelling connection that follows you into the darkest places. We are meaning-seeking creatures and there is a role for each one of us to play that’s much bigger than ourselves. Join me on this episode of the Rooftop Podc...2024-10-1825 minThe Rooftop PodcastOur Kids Are WatchingWe face a lot of moral dilemmas in this time of Churn don’t we? It seems like every decision that comes our way has elevated stakes and tremendous pressure attached to it. We’re pressed to often play a game we didn’t even sign on for. I get it. Here’s the thing: There is a way to lead through this with a very simple metric that might just make a difference for you. Join me in this episode and let’s map it out! I'll see you on the Rooftop. Scott2024-10-1137 minThe Rooftop PodcastReflections on 9/11 23 years after the attacks of 9.11.2001, America is still reeling from the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan and the wholesale abandonment of our allies. It’s more important than ever that we not forget the lessons of 9.11.2001. Not just because of the moral imperative, and of the numerous sacrifices made by so many, but because of the likelihood that this failed withdrawal follows us home and puts us at even greater risk for another strike. I hope you’ll join me on this commemorative episode where we look at where we’ve been, where we are, and where we’re going in the ev...2024-09-1133 minThe Rooftop PodcastWhat's Your Pineapple Express?

This is the question Scott is asking everyone after the creation of Operation Pineapple Express in August of 2021. A group of veterans took a stand when no one else was coming - they saw the moral injury the withdrawal from Afghanistan was going to cause and knew something needed to be done. As we continue talking about Afghanistan, we are going to start broadening our conversations with leaders who are creating their own Pineapple Express.

Over the last year, many of our veterans and citizens have asked "what was the point?" in reference to Afghanistan. It has been very hard to process the loss and impact under the shadow of the withdrawal and abandonment. But as a former member of the Afghan National Army, Sami points out - the end is not written.

Caustic commentary on social media, and polarized positions have only heightened the emotional temperature into a trance-state that puts us at a very dangerous precipice of “Shadow Tribalism.”This fear-based trance state is primal and contagious…and without us realizing it, can take us right into darkness.How do we navigate through the noise, distrust, fear, and CHURN to better days?Nobody else is coming.

It seems the Administration is banking on the mutual disdain the Taliban and the USG have for ISIS-K. But, what if that isn’t exactly what’s going on? What if below the waterline, the Taliban and ISIS-K are two sides of the same coin? As Shawn Ryan’s interview with National Resistance Front of Afghanistan Ahmad Massoud points out, that could very likely be the case. Nobody is comi...2024-07-1713 minThe Rooftop PodcastThe GWOT Generation - A Call to ActionYou’ve heard me talk about how nobody is coming. That has never been more true than in the realm of national security against emerging terror threats. It seems that only the GWOT Generation is taking the Islamist Terror Threat to heart. And why shouldn’t we? We lived it for 20 years. It’s the GWOT Generation who must be the “canary in the coal mine” for an entire nation who is allowing our leaders to bury our collective heads in the sand. Is it too late? Can we be heard?

He says that although the injury radically altered his life, "the American people are worth it.” Are we? There is a cost for freedom that’s becoming harder and harder to pay as a civil society.

Most people pursue some type of credit in exchange for work or impact produced. Our individual-focused society seems to demand it. In this time of division and disconnection, however, there is another metric that’s available to us in the form of credibility that packs a much larger punch and actually gets us to our goals in a far more meaningful way.

We feel a need to create something bigger than ourselves don’t we. We zone in on a book, a project, or a business and we start moving that pen or swinging the hammer with a level of energy and motivation that feels like rocket fuel.

What’s it cost to break it? Unfortunately, we’re seeing the answer to this question in epic proportions across all levels of civil society today, to include national security and community engagement. The question we’ll explore in this Rooftop Podcast Episode is, as leaders, parents, teachers, and citizens do we have what it takes to re-commit more deeply to the promises we make and restore the trust in the places where the promises have been broken? That’s our focus in this epsiode.

I disagree with this approach. I believe we are in a Churn of disconnection that requires leaders with a full body of work.

Dr. Wood is an expert in how trauma affects our minds, our lives and how past events and experiences play a role in how we experience life in the present.

This is the big buzzword right now, this hybrid approach, there's been so much cost savings at an organizational level on not having to maintain these office buildings and all the travel, you better believe that organizationally there's going to be emphasis on this hybrid approach where not everybody, in fact, a lot of people don't come back to work.
