    EP 90 * Eric Blehm * The Untold Story Behind Fearless, Adam Brown & SEAL Team Six | Targeted Podcast
    2026/08/31
    New York Times bestselling author **Eric Blehm** joins Atlas Aultman on the Targeted Podcast for a rare conversation about the true stories behind *Fearless*, Adam Brown, SEAL Team Six, Special Operations, *The Only Thing Worth Dying For*, and the trust required to document the lives of America's elite warriors. Eric Blehm has become one of the most respected nonfiction writers covering the U.S. Special Operations community. But he didn't serve in Special Operations himself. So how did an outsider earn enough trust to tell stories from communities where trust has to be earned every single day? In this episode, Blehm reveals how it happened. Eric takes Atlas back to his unlikely beginning as an aspiring professional snowboarder, the life-changing words his mother gave him before her death, and the journey that eventually led him into journalism and bestselling nonfiction. They explore the extraordinary story behind *The Only Thing Worth Dying For* and ODA 574, including how Blehm earned the confidence of Special Forces soldiers and Gold Star families while reconstructing one of the defining early missions of the war in Afghanistan. Then Eric tells the remarkable origin story of *Fearless* and Navy SEAL Adam Brown—a story of addiction, redemption, Christianity, family, perseverance, and ultimately sacrifice. You'll hear how: • Eric Blehm earned the trust of the Special Operations community • ODA 574 helped launch his career writing military nonfiction • Families of fallen warriors entrusted him with their stories • *Fearless* almost never became a book • Adam Brown overcame addiction and devastating injuries to reach SEAL Team Six • Adam's wife Kelly and his family became central to his redemption story • The death of Osama bin Laden unexpectedly changed the publishing opportunity for *Fearless* • Blehm approaches OPSEC, classified information, accuracy, and military history • Stories from *Fearless* continue spreading online—sometimes without attribution • His mother's final advice helped determine the direction of his life Blehm also discusses *The Last Season*, his seven-year investigation into missing backcountry ranger Randy Morgenson, and why preserving someone's story sometimes means spending years obsessively researching details others might overlook. And this is only the beginning. Eric Blehm's newest book, **Haunted by Heroes**, takes readers even deeper into the people and stories behind the Special Operations world. If you've read *Fearless*, followed the story of Adam Brown, served in the military, studied Special Operations history, or simply want to understand how extraordinary true stories are preserved, this conversation is for you. **Subscribe to Targeted Podcast** for conversations about leadership, resilience, military service, mindset, sacrifice, and the people whose experiences can teach us how to live stronger lives. #EricBlehm #Fearless #AdamBrown #SEALTeamSix #SpecialOperations #NavySEAL #TargetedPodcast #MilitaryPodcast #GreenBerets #MilitaryHistory #HauntedByHeroes LINKS: https://www.ballastbooks.com/ballast-bookstore/haunted-by-heroes https://www.ericblehm.com/ https://www.instagram.com/ericblehmofficial/?hl=en https://americasunsung.com CHAPTERS: 00:34 Eric Blehm Joins Targeted 03:09 Why Special Operations Trusts Eric Blehm 06:04 From Snowboarding to Journalism 07:18 The Advice From His Mother That Changed Everything 09:03 The Only Thing Worth Dying For & ODA 574 12:31 Earning the Trust of Gold Star Families 15:33 Meeting Hamid Karzai 17:04 Why Accuracy Matters in Military History 18:37 Eric's connection to DC Shoes 19:07 The Last Season & the Missing Ranger 23:00 When Podcasts and bloggers take an Author's Work 30:37 Special Operations teams that Eric Blehm has interviewed 36:04 Addiction, Faith & Redemption, the Story of Navy SEAL Adam Brown 36:32 How Fearless Began 39:23 Why Eric Almost Didn't Write Fearless 42:16 The Night Osama bin Laden Was Killed and getting Access to the SEAL Team 6 story 43:18 Haunted by Heroes — What's Coming Next SPECIAL OFFERS: - getFIGHTscrub.com– 10% off with code FIGHTSCRUBATLAS - BUCKEDup.com Supplements: 20% off with code ATLAS25 - LEADERS-KIT.com: 10% leadership/management consultations when you mention the show - Targeted MERCH: https://blackeaglecustoms.us/collections/targeted-podcast - GUEST APPLICATIONS: win@leaders-kit.com Share this with someone you know will love more details about a world that trusted this man to tell their story - Thank you for supporting TARGETED Podcast.

    2026/08/25
    Dave Hoopes is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, self-defense instructor, martial arts gym owner, and founder of Empowering You Self-Defense in Arizona. In this episode of **Targeted Podcast with Atlas Aultman**, Dave Hoopes explains how practical self-defense, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), situational awareness, and mental preparation can help ordinary people protect themselves and their families. ### Who is Dave Hoopes?

According to Hoopes, one of the biggest self-defense mistakes people make is **ignoring their intuition when a situation doesn't feel right**. Effective self-defense isn't about looking for a fight. It's about: • Recognizing danger early • Trusting your instincts • Maintaining situational awareness • Avoiding unnecessary confrontations • Escaping dangerous situations when possible • Staying calm under physical pressure • Knowing when you must defend yourself • Developing practical skills through repetition • Protecting yourself and the people you love ### Does Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu work for self-defense?

He also discusses how years of BJJ training can condition someone to remain calm while experiencing extreme physical pressure. ### Can Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu help children? Dave Hoopes discusses how martial arts and BJJ training can help children develop: • Confidence • Discipline • Humility • Emotional control • Physical fitness • Resilience • Social skills • Healthy ways to manage stress He also explains what he has observed when children dealing with behavioral problems or bullying begin consistently training martial arts. ### What should beginners look for in a BJJ or martial arts gym? Hoopes recommends finding a martial arts gym where the culture matches your goals. A good gym should prioritize: • Safety • Quality instruction • Respect • Community • Personal development • Appropriate training intensity • Helping students improve Dave explains why beginners should consider visiting multiple gyms and finding an environment where they feel safe, supported and comfortable learning. ### Can companies hire Dave Hoopes for self-defense training? Yes. Dave Hoopes provides practical self-defense instruction for businesses, organizations, churches, youth groups and other teams. His self-defense workshops can also function as interactive corporate team-building and employee-safety experiences. During the conversation, Dave discusses training employees who work alone or interact with the public, including professionals in sales, real estate, healthcare and service businesses. His typical self-defense training can be structured for smaller groups, larger organizations, conferences and breakout sessions. ### Topics discussed in this episode: Self-defense training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu BJJ for beginners Situational awareness Personal safety Corporate self-defense training Employee safety training Martial arts for kids Bullying prevention Mental toughness Stress management Choosing a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gym Technique vs. strength Protecting your family Queen Creek Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Arizona self-defense training ### Connect with Dave Hoopes Dave Hoopes is the founder of **Empowering You Self-Defense** and can be contacted regarding self-defense classes, corporate training, group instruction, youth programs and speaking or conference opportunities.

  • EP 88 * Dave Hoopes * How criminals choose victims + what most people get WRONG

    EP 88 * Dave Hoopes * How criminals choose victims + what most people get WRONG
    2026/08/17

    Can you actually defend yourself—or do you just THINK you can?

    Self-defense expert, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, David Hoopes joins Atlas Aultman on the Targeted Podcast to break down what actually works when a dangerous situation becomes real.

    David Hoopes is an owner of Ethos Martial Arts and brings roughly 15 years of martial arts and self-defense experience alongside 30 years of corporate leadership and sales experience. His work includes Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, practical self-defense, women’s self-defense training, situational awareness, and corporate self-defense/team-building programs.

    In this episode, Atlas and David dig into a question every man should consider: Could you actually protect yourself and the people you love when something goes wrong?

    They discuss: • How criminals may identify vulnerable victims • Situational awareness and the “five levels” of awareness • Why transition spaces like parking lots can increase vulnerability • The first warning signs that someone may be approaching with bad intentions • Why your gut feeling or “Spidey sense” matters • Verbal self-defense and de-escalation • Why avoiding a fight is often the smartest form of self-defense • Whether carrying a firearm can create a false sense of security • Why training and repetition matter under pressure • Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in real-world self-defense • Martial arts techniques that may not translate to an actual fight • Dangerous self-defense advice being taught online • How quickly someone can lose consciousness in a properly applied choke • Why confidence can make you a less attractive target • Protecting your wife, children and family without living in fear • The difference between being AWARE and being AFRAID

    One of the biggest lessons from this conversation: You don't need to walk through life afraid.

    You need to walk through life aware. David’s philosophy is simple: recognize danger early, listen to your instincts, create distance, use verbal de-escalation, get away if possible—and fight only when you have to. If you're a man who takes protecting yourself and your family seriously, this episode is worth watching all the way through. Subscribe to Targeted Podcast for conversations about leadership, resilience, self-defense, mindset, masculinity, personal development and becoming harder to break when life gets real.
