I can't believe how good this episode was. I listen to a the usual suspects. Everyday. I've never made a comment. Never felt the need to. And, there's been some incredible ones in these podcast circuits. However, this one touched my soul. On a real level. Unlike any other before. Absolutely fascinating. While simultaneously hilarious at some moments. Thank you so much for this guys!! I've sent this to a several close friends and family members. I came home from work and told my wife about it. Just incredible!
2018 class 3 H&H graduate here. Changed my life, I still draw from my experiences in the back country today.. it’s true! In the end I realized that everything I was looking for was already inside me … I realized that I was the one creating my own prison. Thank you Micah and team for putting me in a process to take the key and unlock my cell. Present day I’m a loving father, I volunteer in the community and I’m a business owner. Living life on my terms and following my purpose. Before H&H I could barely hold a job because of the reality I created. Thank you to all who support the program.. God Bless and TreatEmRough

There's a great book called Denying the Soul. The author is M. Scott Peck. A great book on necessary pain which is the emotional pain vs physical pain. "Growing old is inevitable growing up this optional". Is a great author he also wrote: The Road Less Travelled and Beating To A Different Drum, etc.. He's not only a great author he was a United States army psychotherapist at the pentagon and he is so humorous and funny. His details of many stories and one of his best audios was self love versus self esteem. Really helped in raising teenagers and understanding myself a little more 😅
Yes sir and that's what we are here for the help and the development of each other's souls our own and others. When the student is ready the teacher appears. 😎🇺🇸🕊
This is the best podcast I've listened to and I listen to all the channels. Micah Fink is wise beyond his years and I could resonate with everything he said
Can't remember what podcast it was on but I remember someone slipping on it a bit... there's a lot of information on the ocean floor going through cables
By far one of the best podcasts Andy has ever done and he has had so many amazing people on his podcast. So many solid anecdotes that came out of this podcast
@@ryanhyderh he just doesnt clog up the entirety of HKIA by pulling hundreds of unchecked civilians through the gates and causing the gates to be closed until the US got out while making hero posts on instagram
This was an amazing podcast. Micah has amazing insight and made some unpopular statements that people definitely need to hear. Our country lost its values years ago and only now becoming evident. It’s time to put down our cellphones and do something before it’s too late. Thanks for having him on. Time to stop trying to “save” other nations and focus on saving this one.
feel like every overweight depressed middle age male needs to hear this podcast. jocko may have a bigger audience, but Andy's got him covered on content. congrats on your upcoming life changing event with your female friend 👏 🙌 keep up the good work
Hey Andy, shout-out from Sydney Australia. I’m a long time listener, first time commentor. Always enjoy your easy to listen to style. I always try to take something out of each show, but Micah OMG.
Great thumbnail photo! Wish I could join this man on the ranch but I probably don’t qualify. Didn’t do much. At the time I was wounded I had went over to Guard as I had become a cop trying to stay around more to make my wife happy-yeah, ask me how that went? Anyway-good stuff as always Andy! Thank you for the upload!
Easily bring him back but not right after a 41-day spiritual day journey rehabilitating Vets with extreme PTSD, love people like this guy, game-changer type human
14 mins in and I felt like a loser. I didn't know who Micah was but Im glad I do now. Thank you Micah. Man that was hard to listen to b/c it was so spot on..WOW!!!
Wow!!! 2 hours 44 min felt like 10 min! This is one of those episodes that I’m going to be listening a few times in a row to keep extracting more and more of their perspective!
Grew up with this kid, my father was the owner of the cable tv company. He was always around pre 01 and was always the funniest guy around. Also got me into ska. Good to see him cranking it out still
Great episode. Another good one would be you getting the story of Jimmy Watson. Former team guy. Hes got a crazy story. Wouldn't be in person though since he's on house arrest right now.
Not trying to spam! I just clicked over and watched "Programmed." I can't tell you how moving it is and how much it makes sense. I saw MY (internal) wild horse....Thanks, Micah.
Fruitful discussion thank you both. Actually the Lakota ceremonies have not entirely been "lost" just a few a hardly performed and not open to outsiders. There are fewer Wicasca Wakan (Medicine men-approximate translation) who have the training and commitment and know the language these days. I was privileged to be part of those ceremonies in the 80s, 90s and early 2000s. Was a Sundancer (Wiwayang Wacipi) for many years with the Lakota and as part of a four year commitment with the Menominee. For more first hand knowledge contact me via message. Not all "information" is meant for everyone on these platforms.
Hi Andy, loved the podcast with you and your dad, this one was definitely the best podcast I've ever seen, two super cool dudes shooting the shit. I will send this to everyone I know and 90% probably won't watch it. Fuck them, this was awesome
1:14:15 - "Why do you think some veterans go down that path (psych meds & inability to cope) and others escape it?" This is a question Ive grappled with for many years. I dont understand how I was able to compartmentalize for so many years and not have it destroy me...yet so many other guys struggle. I always thought I was an anomaly.

Sometimes people just talk and you understand them better than others. That's how I felt listening to Micah. Thanks for having him on!
He has mad Mathew McConaughey vibes lol
I’m 12 minutes in, and I already love this dude.
May God bless you, and all those like you, Micah.
Possibly the best episode ever. Definitely one of the most important conversations one could have.
I've been waiting for Micah to show up for a long time! Thank you for bringing him on!
There's a great book called Denying the Soul. The author is M. Scott Peck. A great book on necessary pain which is the emotional pain vs physical pain.
"Growing old is inevitable growing up this optional". Is a great author he also wrote: The Road Less Travelled and Beating To A Different Drum, etc..

I'm going to listen to this podcast like five times because there's so much hidden just genuinely awesome information
You should read "Tribe" by Sebastian Junger. Really good one for post service members. Imo
@@MrAlexmiele8910 beautiful advice, well done sir.
Listened twice. This episode rocks! Very powerful and will fire this off to a bunch of folks. Thank you Andy and Micah. ✌
Thank you. Love what Micah and his organization are doing!!!
Now I REALLY want to know what the SDV mission that had a 7 month prep for was and the Award during CIA. Great podcast
Can't remember what podcast it was on but I remember someone slipping on it a bit... there's a lot of information on the ocean floor going through cables
Best part of Monday, Cleared Hot!

Outstanding individual. Thanks for having him on the show.
This was great! Thanks to Andy and Micah.
Best Cleared Hot podcast ever!!! THANK YOU
Absolutely best one to date. His mindset is amazing and so spot on!
This dude is the most funniest and serious guy you have ever had on the show fucking hilarious bro
He reminds me of a navy seal version of Tim Kenndy.
@@ryanhyderh he just doesnt clog up the entirety of HKIA by pulling hundreds of unchecked civilians through the gates and causing the gates to be closed until the US got out while making hero posts on instagram
The first 15 minutes, alone, is great. Spot on. Cheers, Guys!
tremendous! I wonder what a conversation between Micah and Duncan Trussel would be like.
I got STRONG Duncan trussel vibes here.
Jesus. That was one of the most vivid descriptions of the 9/11 aftermath I’ve ever heard.
Check out Shawn Ryan’s latest episode from the PC. Also, Lex Fridman had an NYFD on for 9/11. These episodes compliments each other very well.
Check out Mr Ballens channel too … he’s also a former SEAL who just did a story on 9/11.
I've listened to a lot of Cleared Hot and I have to say this is the best. Amazing dude with ideas and solutions. Full of honesty.
I'm actually going to listen through this one again.. Just challenging in so many ways
Watched his program...500 miles...today. excellent. Very admirable program.
This was an amazing podcast. Micah has amazing insight and made some unpopular statements that people definitely need to hear. Our country lost its values years ago and only now becoming evident. It’s time to put down our cellphones and do something before it’s too late. Thanks for having him on. Time to stop trying to “save” other nations and focus on saving this one.
I took a lot away from this podcast, really interesting way of looking at stuff that absolutely challenges the soul BUT without judgment
Refreshing. Thanks Andy. Yet again, bringing the education.
The best thing you’ll ever listen to on a Monday…..Cleared Hot! 💯
Fabulous segment. Thank you, you badass gentlemen savages. Sincerely.
If you only listen to one podcast in your lifetime it should be this one. Grit, humility and humor all in one.

Awesome episode
This guy's name sounds like he'd be an accountant in Star Wars
I saw this
And he looks like a cowboy in a Hollywood western movie.
Great episode. Another good one would be you getting the story of Jimmy Watson. Former team guy. Hes got a crazy story. Wouldn't be in person though since he's on house arrest right now.
Damn. Eye opening podcast!!!
Is there anything like this for civilians?
5 mins in and i already love this dude! Great podcast andy🙌
