Description

Damon, Damo, and Aaron are joined by AOCM (Ret.) Tyese ‘Ty’ Pressley, founder of the ‘Goat Locker Hall of Fame’ and ‘At Ease Podcast.’ The conversation starts with a follow-up to a listener regarding “elevating problems.” After Ty breaks down his history of assignments, the guys don’t hesitate to get into Ty’s organization, the ‘Goat Locker Hall of Fame,’ and some of the drama that has surrounded it as it gets more popular. Ty discusses the early days of the GLHOF and his inspiration behind the idea. What has been done to make the GLHOF a legitimate organization, and is there an interest in collaboration with other Chief Mess organizations? Damo asks Ty if he thinks there is a disconnect between active duty servicemembers and vets? Ty discusses the ‘At Ease’ Podcast and his inspiration behind starting it. Damon questions whether the element of “teaching” has changed throughout the years. Ty lists his “Top 5 Goats.” Taking a page from the ‘At Ease Podcast,’ Damo asks Ty for his “legendary moment.” Damo highlights this week’s Hero of the Week: John William Finn. You know, Damo wasn’t gonna let Ty pass through without a question about Philly. Ty contributes to our “Do Better” segment of the week. The guys discuss trying to authentically grow your podcast without trying to rage-bait people into paying attention. These topics and more are covered in this episode.
