Endless Endeavor with Greg Anderson
Operation Podcast
What's up guys, my name is Greg Anderson, and after spending a decade in the Special Operations/Para-Military community and 14 overseas deployments, I pursued a new career in Law Enforcement with the interest in putting the deployment lifestyle behind me.
In light of so many events in 2020 regarding law enforcement I decided to speak up on the behalf of the profession and it ultimately cost me my job, but because of this I've taken my life in a new direction and one of my pursuits is launching this podcast!
The Endless Endeavor Podcasts was created with the understanding that life is a continuous and arduous journey. I've learned that the only way I can grow and develop as a human is maintaining an understanding that there is always a lot to learn and preserve a curiosity across a wide spectrum of interests.
Through this journey of life I have had the honor to walk amongst giants and look forward to bringing our listeners quality content on a variety of topics.
We will be delving into military operations, jiu jitsu and martial arts, liberty and freedom, tactical proficiency, health and wellness, overcoming depression and PTSD, leadership and team dynamics, parenting, law enforcement and so much more.

EE 012: An ER Physician's Perspectives on the COVID-19 Pandemic with Dr. Brian Scheele
In episode 12 I sit down with my best friend on earth, Dr Brian Scheele. We've been best friends since we were little kids and he's recently been on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic. Brian has worked as an emergency room physician for the last several years and was recently assigned to a hospital in Queens, NY where he was overwhelmed with corona virus patients. In a time where all the information regarding COVID seems to be politically motivated and agenda driven, I believe it is necessary for frontline workers to share their experiences and perspectives to help people have a clearer idea of what is taking place around the country.

EE 011: Politics, Policing, Nutrition and Jiu Jitsu - September 2020 Q&A
Episode 11 is a Q&A session with me (Greg). The entire reason the podcast platform has taken off is because people enjoy gathering information in long discussion format. In a world of media talking points and scrolling headlines, I believe people are enjoying hearing well thought out and articulated positions. As someone that is new to this industry, I believe it is important to stay connected to the people that enjoy listening to your ideas and perspectives. In this episode we talk about politics, policing, nutrition and of course Jiu Jitsu. This was my first Q&A and I plan on repeating this every ten episodes or so.

EE 007: The World of Private Military Contracting with Tobin Foulke
Episode 7 takes an in depth look at the world of Private Military Contractors (PMCs). After our time in the 75th Ranger Regiment, Toby Foulke (from episode 3) and I both spent the next 5 years on military contracts all over the world. In 2004 these contracts had ultimate autonomy, there was little oversight and it was up to us as a 16 man team to plan, coordinate and execute various missions with little to no support. This is a very misunderstood and often demonized industry. The truth is the overwhelming majority of men I served with on PMCs were patriots that seized an opportunity to serve their country and be financially compensated well simultaneously.

EE 005: Round Table with Joao Assis and the USA Carry and Concealed Nation Owners Luke McCoy and Brandon Curtis
Episode 5 of the Endless Endeavor Podcast takes us down to New Orleans, Louisiana where I sat down with the owners of USA Carry and Concealed Nation; Luke McCoy and Brandon Curtis. We discussed all kinds of topics from concealed pistol carry, combat preparedness, fitness and health and of course jiu jitsu! Originally I was going to do an episode of their podcast and then we were going to record a separate episode for my podcast, but after the first take for their show it just felt "right". We touched on lots of topics and since their show is aired live we also took a few questions from listeners. After the show we all agreed that our first recording should be used for both Podcasts. I was also joined by my coach, multiple time jiu jitsu world champion Joao Assis who's the owner of Electric Jiu Jitsu in Hunting Beach CA, and my good friend Greg Lapin who owns Vida Jiu Jitsu in Mandeville, Louisiana and is one of the best tactical firearms instructors you're ever gonna meet.

EE 004: Perspectives from a Federal Law Enforcement Officer
This episode features a former co-worker of mine from when I worked within federal law enforcement. Travis was been with the feds for over 10 years and brings a ton of experience and perspectives regarding the current state of our country. He is currently assigned to a team that responds nationally and his duties have taken him all over the country from DC to Portland addressing the violence and destruction. He has had a front row seat to these events and seen everything from legitimate protesters to paid agitators. Travis has witnessed officers attacked with hammers, bricks, and numerous other items and feels the media's narrative of officer's involvement is both unfair and inaccurate.
