Episode 1 delves into the professional background of Greg Anderson. As a new podcaster that decided to take on this journey after the recommendation of friends, family and countless supporters online, he has decided to give an in-depth look into the different career paths that have brought him to where he is today. This podcast begins in Snohomish, Washington and takes an in depth look at what becoming a member of the 75th Ranger Regiment entails. The Ranger Regiment was a foundational part of what molded Greg into who he is today and this podcast expounds on the selection process, the never quit mentality and leadership lessons that led to mission success. After separating from active duty Greg attended a selection process to join a company known as Triple Canopy or TC. TC was known for being responsible for the most dangerous State Department Diplomatic Security contracts inside of Iraq. Greg worked various contracts throughout Iraq from 2004-2009 and goes into detail about what that experience was like.
At the conclusion of his overseas contracts, Greg then sought employment stateside and joined the US Marshal Service and was stationed in Los Angeles California . The mission and day to day life as a Deputy US Marshal is something that is greatly misunderstood by people outside of the agency. Greg gives insight to the agency, his experience with them and what ultimately led to his choice to separate from the Marshals. We then follow Greg’s professional career path to Seattle where he joined the Port of Seattle Police Department. Greg discusses policing and what it's like to be in that profession. Finally this podcast wraps up with an overview of the video that resonated with people around the world where Greg encouraged officers to respect people’s liberties and refuses unjust and unconditional orders that were becoming common practice under the wave of executive orders being mandated by governors and mayors across the county.
