Meyli Chapin: Terrorist Attack Girl May 04, 2022

Show notes

Today’s guest spent seventeen hours trapped in a hotel room certain she was going to die as terrorists moved through the hotel executing innocents. She is now using that experience to help others suffering from PTSD.

In 2019, Meyli Chapin survived an attack on a hotel complex in Nairobi, Kenya by Al-Shabaab terrorists that left 22 civilians dead. She credits former SAS operator Christian Craighead with saving her and hundreds of others that January day by running to the sound of the guns. Her harrowing ordeal, subsequent struggles with PTSD, and how she fought to overcome that trauma is detailed in her book, Terrorist Attack Girl: How I Survived Terrorism and Reconstructed My Shattered Mind. Meyli’s efforts to empower those dealing with traumatic events inspired her to develop and found Trauma Brace, the first standalone self-help app for trauma survivors.

You can follow her on Instagram @meylichapin and learn more about her app here @traumabraceapp.

Ric Prado: Black Ops Apr 27, 2022

Show notes

Today’s guest is legendary CIA paramilitary and operations officer Enrique “Ric” Prado.

Ric is a retired CIA operations officer who specialized in paramilitary, counter-terrorism and special/clandestine operations. Escaping Cuba as a child amidst the violence of Castro’s Cuban Revolution, he would go on to retire as the CIA equivalent of a two-star general after serving for twenty-four years in the nation’s premier intelligence service which included 36 months as the first CIA officer to live in the anti-Sandinista “Contra” camps and later as Deputy Chief of Station of the original Bin Laden Task Force.

His new New York Times bestselling memoir Black Ops: The Life of a CIA Shadow Officer takes a deep dive into a truly exceptional career filled with assassins, terrorists, spies and revolutionaries. Prado’s memoir highlights not only the complexities of America’s shadow wars, but the extreme courage, creativity and perseverance it takes to execute such missions inside the most demanding and hostile environments.

Show notes

On today’s show, Jack is joined by No. 1 New York Times bestselling author Kevin Maurer and by John “Lucky” Luckadoo, the subject of Kevin’s new book, Damn Lucky: One Man’s Courage During the Bloodiest Military Campaign in Aviation History .

It’s an incredible true story of a World War II hero.
