Endless Endeavor with Greg Anderson
201 episodes - English - Latest episode: 5 days ago -What's up guys, my name is Greg Anderson, and after spending a decade in the Special Operations/Para-Military community and 14 overseas deployments, I pursued a new career in Law Enforcement with the interest in putting the deployment lifestyle behind me.
In light of so many events in 2020 regarding law enforcement I decided to speak up on the behalf of the profession and it ultimately cost me my job, but because of this I’ve taken my life in a new direction and one of my pursuits is launching this podcast!
The Endless Endeavor Podcasts was created with the understanding that life is a continuous and arduous journey. I’ve learned that the only way I can grow and develop as a human is maintaining an understanding that there is always a lot to learn and preserve a curiosity across a wide spectrum of interests.
Through this journey of life I have had the honor to walk amongst giants and look forward to bringing our listeners quality content on a variety of topics.
We will be delving into military operations, jiu jitsu and martial arts, liberty and freedom, tactical proficiency, health and wellness, overcoming depression and PTSD, leadership and team dynamics, parenting, law enforcement and so much more.

EE 199: A New Beginning for Washington State Pt. 1 with Semi Bird
April 11, 2024 07:00 - 1 hour - 104 MBIn Episode 199 I sit down with Semi Bird! I really loved this short episode getting to know Semi. We’ve already agreed we need 10 more hours together and I’m happy to oblige, so this is being released as part 1! We didn’t dive too deep into policy and his specific strategies he’ll be implementing as governor as I wanted the initial part of our conversation to simply be about getting to know him as a person.

Always an asset never a liability, but it seems no matter how hard we all scream from the mountaintops, that many people will f...
EE 197: Standing Behind Your Morals with Sheriff Adam Fortney
March 28, 2024 07:00 - 2 hours - 192 MBIn Episode 197 I sit down with former Snohomish County Sheriff Adam Fortney. I’ve looked forward to this episode for quite some time because I believe Adam’s leadership and common-sense approach as sheriff may have dramatically changed the trajectory of my life.

March 21, 2024 07:00 - 1 hour - 108 MBIn Episode 196 we do another solocast. Today’s theme is “Rites of Passage”. In today’s America I believe we are culturally broken.

Both men and women are subjected to an array of different challenges related to their specific customs and livelihoods that ultimately result in them becoming a celebrated a...

This may not sound like a special position but as someone who’s been teaching jiu jitsu for nearly a decade, I assure you it is! They have to be exceptionally well at technique themselves to give the perfect amount of pressure, resistance, base, and so on.
