***Sneak Peek***MBRS 68: Tim Kennedy Lied—Now What? Insulate or Isolate?

Send us Fan Mail

In this unfiltered members-only solo rant, Jared wrestles with the never-ending Tim Kennedy drama—because apparently just being a Green Beret and UFC fighter wasn’t enough for the guy. With fake valor awards, bogus war stories, and a book full of stolen valor sauce, Tim Kennedy’s credibility is in free fall. But here's the twist: do we keep crushing him, or is it time to circle the wagons and offer a redemption arc?

Jared takes you behind the scenes of the veteran influencer world—calling out the hypocrisy, wrestling with his own moments of public misrepresentation (yep, even at a graduation), and pushing back against the idea that every screw-up deserves permanent exile. He shares real stories of leadership, PTSD, and the difference between isolating and insulating someone who’s fallen off the rails.

Snarky, reflective, and brutally honest—this is what happens when you're tired of the internet outrage cycle but still believe in accountability.

🔥 Key Takeaways:

• Tim Kennedy lied. A lot. And got caught.
• His defenders? Friends, influencers, and the veteran bro-sphere.
• Ostracizing vs. insulating: which path actually helps the community?
• Redemption doesn’t mean erasing consequences—but it does require a door left open.
• Jared shares a real-world example of insulating a struggling teammate—and why it paid off.
• Even decorated warriors can spiral. Leadership is deciding how you show up when they do.
