After decades in uniform, what does it really mean to look back on a lifetime of service? In this episode of Four Titles, One Truth, we step away from the medals and milestones—and dive into the memories, the struggles, and the moments that defined our military lives.

Tommie and Lance reflect on what service has taken, what it’s given, and how it shaped the men, husbands, and fathers they became. From the first formation to the final retirement ceremony, this episode honors the full arc of sacrifice, growth, and pride.

IN THIS EPISODE:

•Our earliest memories of enlistment and how they shaped us

•What the military gave us beyond paychecks and promotions

•Honest thoughts on sacrifices — family, time, and identity

•How we knew when it was time to retire

•What we’re most proud of after a lifetime of service

•The legacy we hope we left behind

If you’ve ever worn the uniform, loved someone who did, or wondered what makes military service so defining, you won’t want to miss this one.

Every service member has one.

That one assignment. That one place.

Where everything shifted — your mindset, your motivation, maybe even your whole life.

In this episode, we each share the duty station that changed everything. Not because it was easy. But because it forced growth — as leaders, as people, and as Black men in uniform.

We unpack:

•The unexpected ways a location can shape your leadership

•The moments that tested our patience and revealed our potential

•What we learned about resilience, identity, and purpose

•How one assignment can still influence who we are years later

•Why we think everyone has that “one place” — even if it didn’t look special on paper

This is about more than just PCS orders. This is about transformation.

Black Leadership Erased and Under Pressure: Could We Still Serve in This America?

In this powerful Season 2 conversation, Tommie and Lance ask a bold question: “If we had to serve today, could we do it in this America — as Black men, as leaders, and as veterans?”

This episode goes deep into:

•The weight and responsibility of leading while Black

•How the social and political climate has shifted for Black service members

•Moments from our military careers that shaped how we lead today

•Whether today’s environment would support—or reject—the way we served

•How brotherhood, mentorship, and lived experience inform our leadership now

•The truth about the emotional load Black men carry when leading in high-expectation spaces

•How we protect our mental health while showing up for family, community, and the next generation

This is one of our most honest conversations — challenging, vulnerable, reflective, and real.

Let’s keep the conversation going.

Before you leave, you think you know what it means to deploy. But the reality? You don't really know what you are in for. It changes everything.

In this episode, we talk about the emotional weight of deployment, the anticipation, the distance, the impact on family, and the moment you realize life doesn’t pause just because you’re gone.

We share our personal experiences navigating our first deployment:

•The mindset before that first deployment

•How being away affects your marriage, your kids, and your mental health

•What reintegration really looks like (and why it’s harder than people think)

•And the long-term ripple effects that deployments leave behind

This isn’t just about military duty, it’s about what happens when your world splits in two: the mission and the people you love.

For every veteran who deployed and every family who waited, this one’s for you.

How your purpose, pain, and persistence fuel your personal drive

What really keeps you going? Is it passion, pressure, pain, or purpose?

In this honest and powerful conversation, Tommie and Lance break down the real meaning of motivation — beyond clichés and buzzwords. They talk about what drove them early in life, how that motivation changed through their military careers, and what keeps them grounded today as Black men, husbands, fathers, and veterans.

From ambition to adversity, they explore the fine line between healthy drive and burnout — and how knowing your why changes everything.

💬 Tune in to this episode for real talk on growth, purpose, and staying the course.

Let’s talk about it — the uncomfortable, the complicated, and the deeply personal.

In this episode of Four Titles, One Truth, we take on gun culture in America — not from a political stance, but from a veteran’s perspective. We’ve handled weapons professionally. We’ve trained with them, deployed with them, and respected their purpose. But once you’re back home, that relationship changes — and so does the conversation.

We break down:

•The difference between military and civilian gun culture

•Why many veterans feel caught between responsibility and rights

•How trauma, identity, and patriotism shape views on gun ownership

•The tension between regulation and freedom

•Why our views aren’t always what people expect

This isn’t about telling anyone what to believe — it’s about sharing our truth as men who carried weapons for a living… and now carry the weight of what they mean in America.
