Taming Mother Nature with Trent S. | Mike Drop: Episode 67

Ойын-сауық

Since the beginning of combat, weather has played an enormous role in how it's won and lost. Countless souls have been lost due to miscalculations of weather and it’s impacts on the battlefield. In this episode, I sat down with an active duty Air Force Special Warfare Weatherman. From being in gunfights alongside green berets, to missing windows of helo extract that results in being snowed in for 2 days, a fascinating look at a very small and elite, yet vitally important element of this nations war-fighting tip of the spear.

He's actually how I found Mike Drop. He did a video with Kevin Owen, I wanted to learn more about Kevin, and I stumbled across a 3 hour interview on Mike Drop. Been watching ever since!

    You always amaze me. I will see a topic like this and think to myself. How can this be interesting? Then after a few days I'll give it a try and the next thing I know you have me hooked on the topic. Now I want to geek on weather. The same happened with Rachel Scheer. I was like . "A female nutritionist? who the heck wants to hear about that?" Now I am deep into fixing my eating habits and down a whole pants size and working out every day. I'm slowly learning to just trust Mike. I know it's going to be good. I appreciate your style and I also like that you don't throw out content just to throw out content. It actually has some depth when you do put it out. I don't mind waiting at all if that matters. Thank you very much.
