The Resilient Show

The U.S. grid gets taken down by an enemy and the entire country goes dark. No phones. No ATMs. No gas pumps. No grocery deliveries. No running water. What now?That question drives Part 2 of our conversation with Jonathan Hollerman. Part 1 exposed how easily the grid could be attacked. Now Jon walks Chad through what he would actually do to survive it.Over the next hour and a half, Jon builds a survival plan from the ground up. First, he explains what you need to do now while the lights are still on. Then he walks through the...

Most Americans assume the electrical grid is protected — and that if it ever failed, the military or federal government would step in. Jonathan Hollerman once wrongly assumed the same thing.

That changed after he participated in a nationwide grid-down war game at Maxwell Air Force Base alongside federal agencies, military branches and utility experts. Jonathan walked away convinced that the safety net Americans expect simply isn’t there. And worse, any attack on the grid would be absolutely catastrophic to the American people.

In part one of this two-part conversation, Jonathan joins Chad to explain why...

Rich Graham spent years learning how to fight at the highest level. He earned his Trident at 20, served as a sniper with SEAL Team 10, trained in martial arts for decades, and eventually built a career teaching others how to protect themselves. But his biggest realization was that tactical skill alone doesn’t make someone a complete warrior.

In this episode, Rich joins Chad to take us inside his life with SEAL Teams and the experiences that shaped his Full Spectrum Warrior philosophy. They get into firearms, combatives, physical readiness, mindset, and preparedness — but also the personal cost of c...

Very few people can talk about the evolution of BJJ from this close to the source. Carlson grew up around the people who built it, competed thro...

War is changing faster than most people realize, and Dave Cosnotti has seen it firsthand. After more than two decades in Army Special Forces, Dave now works alongside American and allied forces on modern national security challenges involving drones, AI, cyber warfare, critical infrastructure, and the rapidly evolving battlefield.

Dave’s biggest warning isn’t that America has already lost its edge — it’s that being on top today guarantees nothing about tomorrow. Warfare is evolving too quickly for old advantages to last forever, and the next world order may belong to whoever learns, adapts, and moves fastest...

MKUltra is supposed to be a dark chapter of American history that closed decades ago. James Martinez doesn’t believe it ever really ended. He argues the experiments simply evolved — from drugs, hypnosis, and behavioral conditioning into technologies capable of collecting brain data, influencing behavior, and potentially reaching directly into the human mind.

James has unique views, built upon decades of studying MKUltra. What follows is a conversation shaped by that worldview — skeptical of official narratives, deeply suspicious of where technology is taking us, and willing to go places most people wouldn’t even consider...

Justin Klahn has spent more than two decades inside some of the most demanding environments in the world — from Nike and Apple to DARPA, the CIA, and Delta Force.

In this episode of The Resilient Show, Chad sits down with Justin to unpack what he’s learned from working around elite performers, operators, executives, innovators, and fighters. They talk about why the best aren’t afraid to fai...

The American church has stayed quiet for too long, and Pastor Allen Jackson believes the country is paying the price.

In this episode of The Resilient Show, Chad sits down with Pastor Jackson for a blunt conversation about churches avoiding so-called “political” issues, backing away from culture, and why biblical truth has been treated like something too dangerous to say from the pulpit.

Damon West had it all, he was a Division I starting quarterback at North Texas, Wall Street stockbroker at UBS, a Congressional staffer who once worked for a presidential campaign.
