Mike Jones, otherwise known as Garand Thumb, stopped by our headquarters for a podcast and some exciting new projects. On this week's episode of The Bridge Podcast Travis and Mike talk in detail about his new company Onward Research, his journey throughout two military branches, his popular KZfaq channel, and what it took to achieve these amazing milestones. Join Travis and Mike as they take a dive into the lesser-known side of the “Z list KZfaqr.”
Bridging gaps within our industry one conversation at a time. The Bridge is not a show about firearms, training, or the military as some might expect. It’s about people; connecting with others, sharing experiences, exchanging perspectives, and healing together through sometimes vulnerable conversations about difficult topics. We hope to help and heal others as we do so for ourselves by airing these conversations for all to hear. Thanks for listening! We hope you enjoy the show.

Full stop: the right and the left are both needed. A "right wing" only America isn't going to be as great as some may think and nor would a left-wing America. Both sides of the aisle have GOOD solutions and GOOD people who are genuinely interested in making the best country. I'm a liberal who supports 2A. I support self-defense of self and property. I also support not having a situation where poor people aren't having to beg on the streets for a basic roof over their head, clothes on their back, and food in their belly. It doesn't mean I think they need to live in a McMansion and drive a brand new Escalade with eat caviar for breakfast. If you're a POS criminal, there's jail or worse. If you're just down on your luck or fighting some mental illness, I don't think you gotta be treated like a shitbag. I think MOST Americans are like me in that sense.

I disagree. It's also arguably the most important weapon against tyranny we have ever created. Before the internet, the only information you had access to were whatever books you had access to in your local library (which may or may not be out of date and had an equal chance of giving you incorrect information), and whatever your government-controlled media showed you. The internet, just like guns, is not inherently good or bad. It's simply a tool. If it's made your life worse, that's your fault for not learning how to use it correctly. I agree that most people don't know how to use it correctly, but I believe there will be enough of us who do some day to be able to teach future generations how to navigate it easier. You must simply fight intellectual laziness and learn how to do proper research in a scientific manner. As long as you keep those things in mind, you'll be alright.

When you mentioned talking to old folks about whether or not we have had hard times like this and for them to say “yes it’s been worse” makes me feel so much better about our chances as country and a society. I am a 26-year-old father of two and I feared that my children were growing up into a potential hellscape. Knowing that there have been times like this and gotten better makes me a little less stressed about our future and theirs. Thank you and Mike for your insights, from a former Navy service member.

"it sounds like I'm a military instructor..." I mean technically you are (r)... but that's a good thing! How many of us wish we had a father that taught us those kinds of things with that kind of clarity and purpose, and are now striving to clean up the generational gap and be that kinda of assertive, purposeful, firm, good men that military discipline creates when combined with good values? Thank you for sharing your experience and values and knowledge. We're all doing our best to learn together what our country is far too quickly forgetting.

I love how they brought up “nice guy” and “good men” we have a lot of nice guys and not enough good men. We have a lot of weak men, we have a lot of broken men, we have a lot of defeated men. Loved this podcast! Such a great conversation between these 2 legends! You guys really lay it out very well on multiple things happening in our country and around the world. I definitely share the sentiment that America feels hollow right now and we no longer are the greatest country in the world. This is a battle against good and evil and evil is becoming more brazen and arrogant. Train hard and train smart my friends!

Great to see social engineering talked about, Jason Street has always been one of the scariest people to see work people with it.

Facts both are very well-spoken and they both speak completely differently in every way yet can speak so well.

34:30 I was never in the military but I was in the oilfield and this is very true. The people you hate working with you'll always have a level of respect for after all the crazy, hard dangerous and shitty times you've gone through together.

This was honestly the best podcast I’ve ever listened too. A lot of what was said really moved me. Especially the “giving up your dreams” part. My kid really is the most important thing I have. Giving him a good life is the real dream.

This is a very enlightening video, God bless you guys putting this out there. As a military brat for 20 years this is the most powerful truthful thing I’ve seen on the Internet. Thank you so much

Hopefully Mike reads this, but I value the survival videos/education videos MILES more than the gun videos. Enjoy them both equally, but VALUE the education more

Man, you guys hit this out of the park. Some pretty heavy uncomfortable topics in there, definitely makes you think about what's really important to you. I really hope that Mike will be able to come back as a recurring guest for these podcasts 👌

The story of the man that cried during training for missing his family was a great one. The way you handled it with such grace and delicacy was spot on. You can’t build a warrior just physically. It’s also mental and emotional. Otherwise they are fallible and with turn their back when it matters most. They need heart. They need purpose, a reason to keep going Onward and shooting straight. I wish you were my leader back in the day. My life would be so different now

I think what you guys spoke about to some degree here is really important. More people need to see men of action as capable of vulnerability, sensitivity, and compassion. You are setting a fantastic example of truly well rounded people. Thank you gents. I wish you continued success in life. Cheers.
