Bryan Fuller - Rowing Around the World - If you've been around for a while, you know our friend Bryan Fuller. Fuller founded Power Rowing in Brookline Mass. Bryan's gym is a hit and he's been creating a community of health-minded folks with powerful charitable charters.
How'd Bryan get into rowing?  Pete recalls, "Bryan wanted a big task...and suggests to me that he was going to row across the Atlantic on a team...despite never really being a rower. In true Fuller fashion, got the job done and set a record as the fastest American to accomplish that incredible task. Then in 2020, Bryan set his sight on the overall record...then COVID canceled that attempt.

Undaunted, Bryan and a muli-national crew are about to set out to row around the world. You'll hear about it on the Break It Down Show

John Murray – Counterintelligence Agent Abroad - John Murray and Pete A Turner were both Counterintelligence Agents in the 165th Military Intelligence Battalion. During their tour in Germany, the Dayton Peace Accords attempted to border peace in the crumbling and lethal Balkans. As members of the IFOR forces deployed to ensure that peace, the 165th deployed and scattered around the region.

Deployed as the initial force, folks like John and Pete had to venture off the camp daily to figure out the ground truth in their specific region. In the US military, small teams like theirs are the exception. Some units even worked in support of international units...so a team might with a Polish, Swedish, etc unit.
This episode is sure to give insight into tactical intelligence gathering that is not available anywhere else.
