This week on Liberty Risk, the crew sits down for one of the biggest and most impactful episodes we’ve ever recorded — a roundtable with six guests connected by military service, Texas roots, and a shared commitment to showing up when it matters.

The show opens with classic Liberty Risk energy: inside jokes, supporter gifts, custom knives, and the kind of comfortable chaos that only comes from real friendships. But things turn serious fast as the group shares stories of brotherhood, loss, and honoring their fallen — including a powerful, unforgettable account of saying goodbye to teammate Kyle Paulson with equal parts humor, grief, and deep respect.

Each guest brings a different background to the table — Navy SEAL teams, business leadership, and community groups like 300 Justice Road, a foundation that grew from a backyard barbecue crew into a force supporting scholarships and military families across Texas.

A major portion of the episode focuses on the devastating flash floods in Hunt, Texas. The guests walk through the frantic early hours, the mobilization of SEALs, volunteers, and first responders, and the emotional weight of search and recovery. From cadaver dogs and sonar to coordination challenges with local agencies, they highlight both the difficulty of these missions and the uniquely Texas spirit that brought civilians, veterans, and law enforcement together when it counted.

Mixed throughout are stories of military and first responder culture — legendary bars, old rituals, mentorship, and the ongoing work of training underfunded agencies in tactical and medical skills. The conversation also tackles purpose after service, the reality of veteran and first responder suicide, and why community and connection remain the strongest lifelines.

The episode closes with a call to action: check on your people, find your tribe, and remember that service doesn’t end when the uniform comes off. Everyone has something to offer — time, skills, heart, or simply being there when things get hard.

This is Liberty Risk at its most honest — raw, grounded, hopeful, and rooted in the belief that purpose is found in standing shoulder to shoulder when it matters most.
