Tim Kennedy is the next guest on the Shawn Ryan Show, and he's not your average interviewee. A former Special Forces Green Beret and UFC fighter, Tim delves deep into his childhood, from the heartbreaking loss of his best friend at just 15, to the audacious stunt of breaking into every car in a church parking lot with just a slim jim, all to prove a point.

Driven by a relentless pursuit of action, Tim's journey led him from firefighting, where he often felt constrained in his ability to protect others, to joining the prestigious ranks of the Special Forces. In this gripping episode, we trace Tim's path from Green Beret to becoming part of the SIF, an elite unit comprising top-tier forces like SEAL Team 6 and Delta Force. Tim recounts the intense mission to hunt down Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, where he witnessed Zarqawi's final moments as an American commando placed a boot on his chest.

But Tim's story doesn't end there. As a USASOC sniper, he faced countless mental and physical challenges, and came back home recounting a rough time of his life. Tim discusses his entry into the UFC, even fighting while deployed. He proudly labeled himself a "part-time soldier, full-time fighter."
As the episode draws to a close, Tim shares his ongoing efforts through various non-profits and his school, Apogee Strong.
