The Vanguard Wall Podcast

@UCJ8K3O-n9Mdcxv0mtV4xdCw - 195K subscribers

The Vanguard Wall is a long-form interview podcast rooted in the world of combat veterans, special operators, and first responders — the people who did the hard things and carry them home. The host — himself an Army and law-enforcement veteran — talks with them about what they did, what it cost, and what they carry. Past guests include Green Berets and Rangers, MACV-SOG veterans, Marines from the Battle of Fallujah, Delta Force operators, Air Force pilots, and the first responders who do the work most never see. It doesn't stop at the uniform — The Vanguard Wall also brings on the builders, storytellers, and experts whose lives speak to the same audience: entrepreneurs, filmmakers, and voices in health, human performance, and resilience. New episodes weekly. Long-form video on YouTube. Audio on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and everywhere podcasts are heard. 🌐 thevanguardwall.com 📧 [email protected]
