  Chadd Wright is one of the most underrated spokesman when it comes to former operators on YouTube podcasts. When he talks, I could listen all day and stay focused on what he is talking about without ever daydreaming about something else. The dude is just as real as it gets and doesn’t let the trident fuel his ego

  Two things: <br><br>1. This is, without a doubt, the most interesting podcast I&apos;ve heard of Andy&apos;s, or any podcast, period. <br>2. Both men claim to be idiots, but in fact, both of these men are EXTREMELY intelligent. <br><br>These podcasts can change your life if you&apos;ll take the wisdom in them and apply it to your life. I did. I found Andy last year and Chad two weeks ago.

  What a polite, smart and well-meaning man. &nbsp;Religious or not, everybody could learn a thing or two from this guy. <br><br> Thanks Andy for being a gracious and open host as well.

  I’m pretty sure, with this dude, the A in SEAL actually stands for Appalachia. He’s my new hero, based off of accent and beard alone.

  Please, PLEASE make that race a reality. Someone who knows techy things clip the segment and tag Goggins and Hanes. 1000% I would watch this. Maybe get Lex Friedman in on it too. And Andy needs a golf cart to ride in beside the runners.

  I have watched this Podcast twice and listened three times. Andy&apos;s interview skills have really grown. I had no clue who Chad Wright was. &nbsp;. &nbsp;. But now I am hooked. I love Chad&apos;s attitude
