This episode of Targeted Podcast dives into what it actually takes to become a capable, disciplined, and physically dominant man in today’s world.

| 2/16/26 | ![]() EP62 * Why struggle, scars, and stories are essential for connection - Scott Mann * Targeted Podcast with Atlas Aultman | Atlas Aultman sits down with retired Green Beret Lt. Col. Scott Mann to unpack the real mechanics of trust: struggle, vulnerability, and story. From battlefield letters and daily journaling to building one-man plays that bring civilians into the emotional reality of war, Scott explains why “no struggle, no story” is the most universal leadership principle. The conversation also covers operator transition, moral injury after Afghanistan, and the questions leaders must learn to ask to rebuild connection in a fragmented digital world. We also talk about Scott’s one-man theater work — including “11 Days: The Story of Operation Pineapple Express” — and how live performance can help civilians feel what veterans carry. Scott explains the craft of asking better questions (what/how vs. why), why short-form content is weakening connection, and how leaders can rebuild trust by telling the story they avoid. Key takeaways: -How storytelling rebuilds trust in low-trust environments -The difference between “talking about yourself” vs. serving the listener -Why operators struggle with transition — and how to find relevance again -The hero/protagonist framework without ego -The power of journaling, mentors, and “taking the armor off” 🔔 Like, subscribe, and share this episode with someone who needs a bridge back to themselves.

Brickman shares how he left real estate for an architecture firm doing high-volume, high-impact work (think 175+ projects a year), why boundaries are a leadership superpower (shutting down work at 5PM, ditching the smartwatch, closing the office from Christmas Eve to New Year’s Day), and how real ROI shows up at home—especially when life gets hard. He also opens up about suicidal ideation as a teen, the moment that saved his life, and how that experience shaped his mission to create both safe physical spaces and safe mental spaces for students—through speaking and his book “The Bully Guard.” If you’re an entrepreneur, leader, or builder of culture, this one hits hard.

| 1/26/26 | ![]() EP59 * Stabbed 7 times in bed, the Brickman Allen story that saved his wife | A fishing pole kept the garage from closing… and a stranger walked into the house at 5 a.m. What happened next became a brutal, real-life fight for survival. In this episode of Targeted, Atlas Aultman sits down in World War Studio with Brickman Allen—international speaker, author, and creator of the #LiveOutside method—to unpack the home invasion that left Brick stabbed multiple times, fighting to protect his wife and unborn child. We go deep on: The moment the attack started (and why “comfort” can be dangerous) What adrenaline really does: slow motion, tunnel vision, decision-making The “cowboy protector” identity and how childhood built real-world resilience Depression, suicidal ideation, and the mirror-talk challenge that changed everything Why kids today aren’t “weaker”—they’re often not allowed to prove strength Social media, AI, and modern protection: “it used to be fists… now it’s the keyboard” Turning trauma into post-traumatic gains—and why Brick teaches this to teens worldwide If you’re building mental toughness, leading a family, or trying to become the kind of person who stays calm in the storm—this one will hit.

In this episode of Targeted Podcast, Atlas Aultman sits down with Ben in Atlanta to talk about the moment he knew he had to change or die, how he rebuilt his life, and how purpose can disrupt cycles of addiction, violence, and generational poverty. Ben also breaks down his upcoming book “Politically Homeless”—why America is trapped in a two-choice system, how outrage media fuels division, and why real-world suffering exposes ideology fast. We get into AI-driven divisiveness, the bot problem, and how agentic AI can be used to find bad actors—while the same tools can also manipulate online discourse. This conversation goes deep on: Rock bottom as a “clean slate” and how ego keeps men stuck Recovery, accountability, and what addiction does to families Purpose, service, and rebuilding identity after failure Crime, prison incentives, alternative sentencing, and real rehabilitation Trafficking realities, community action, and why “real recognizes real” Building Owen Army to deploy help where it’s needed most Follow Ben Owen: We Fight Monsters: wefightmonsters.org Owen Army: owenarmy.com/join https://www.blackrifle.company/ Monsters Apparel: monstersapparel.com Socials YouTube: @monsterFighters (We Fight Monsters) Meta (Instagram / Facebook): @blackrifleco https://www.linkedin.com/company/blackrifle-co Subscribe to Targeted and share this episode with a man who needs a reset.
