While we strive for accuracy, some statements made by our guests may later be found to be verifiably false. We encourage listeners to critically evaluate the content and conduct their own research on the topics discussed. We take the issue of stolen valor extremely seriously, and we want to be clear: the false claims of one guest will not undermine the integrity of the many veterans who have joined us and shared their stories truthfully. https://www.military.com/daily-news/2025/07/10/tim-kennedy-green-beret-and-army-hype-man-under-investigation-lying-about-combat-valor.html Tim Kennedy is a Master Sergeant and Green Beret, New York Times Best Selling Author, and Retired UFC Fighter. He is the Founder of Sheepdog Response, a tactical training company dedicated to preserving human life. He also helped create Save Our Allies in the wake of the Afghanistan withdrawal and successfully assisted in the evacuation of over 17,000 American allies. Today, Kennedy spends his time continuing to serve his country and community through his companies and ventures like Apogee Strong, an online mentorship program that has evolved into a brick and mortar academy that offers an alternative to traditional education.
