042 TIM KENNEDY - American Hero, Entrepreneur, Author, etc.

Tim Kennedy is an active Special Forces master sergeant and sniper with combat deployments throughout the middle east as part of the most elite counter terrorism and hostage rescue unit within the U.S. Army Green Berets. He is a former professional mixed martial arts fighter and two time title challenger and has fought for the largest organizations in the world, including the UFC, Strikeforce, and the WEC all while actively serving in the military. He has been featured on the HISTORY Channel’s show, ‘Hunting Hitler’, as well as the Discovery Channel’s series, ‘Hard To Kill’ and has been featured as a guest on various programs on Fox News and other networks. Tim is a serial entrepreneur with about a dozen successful and profitable businesses, a few of which include Sheepdog Response, Ranger Up, 4 Pillars Fitness, and Woobies Shoes, among many others. If you are interested in becoming more qualified to protect yourself and your family, Sheepdog Response is an unbelievable resource, where you'll find everything you need from firearms trainings, self defense, trauma response, home defense, and just about anything else you could possibly want to learn. They host both in person and virtual events, so I highly recommend checking them out. Tim also runs a school called Apogee Cedar Park, which is an Acton Academy, and utilizes the socratic method of learning, where the students, or "heroes", in the school largely lead their own learning, cultivating an environment of critical thinking and real life skills. Most recently, Tim is the author of the new, best selling book titled "Scars and Stripes. " The book is currently available for preorder and will officially release next Tuesday, June 7th. You can learn more about Tim just about anywhere you look, he was the selected guest of honor for the 9/11 20th anniversary episode on the Joe Rogan experience, and has been on pretty much all of the biggest podcasts in the world. Tim is a busy dude, as you can see, he has a lot going on, and it all over the place, including private operations to evacuate American citizens from Afghanistan after the US officially pulled out in 2021. Tim is a real life superhero. He is an incredible man, husband, and father, and it was an honor to host him on our show
