    MARSOC’s UNTOLD Origins: A Marine’s Path From Deathly Combat to Uplifting Veterans w/ Chayse Roth

    MARSOC’s UNTOLD Origins: A Marine’s Path From Deathly Combat to Uplifting Veterans w/ Chayse Roth

    Welcome to a powerful episode of The NDS Show where we host an inspiring conversation with Marine Corps Veteran and Business Owner, Chayse Roth, who is also the Chairman of the Veteran Business Collective. In this revealing episode, Chayse provides his insights into the world of a Critical Skills Operator and what sets MARSOC (Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command) apart.
    He reflects on his decision to join the Marines and discusses the impact of 9/11 on military services, including the sweeping changes it initiated. Chayse takes us on a journey through his career, discussing the issues with personnel, struggles with recruitment, and the generational differences that are reshaping the military. We talk about the physical limitations that come with service, and the incentives offered to new recruits. We also dive into the formation of MARSOC, a fascinating moment in military history, which comes complete with stories from Tajikistan and lessons from rally driving training.
    Our conversation deepens as Chayse talks about his deployment in Iraq, the intense training processes, and his firsthand experience in combat. He sheds light on the unique mind/body reactions that occur in combat situations, as well as the impact of adrenaline and the post-trauma experience. Chayse also shares insights on combat instincts and how the post-combat perspective can dramatically alter a person's life. Then the conversation shifts to a serious issue plaguing our veterans – suicide.
    We discuss public perceptions, the importance of asking for help, and the unfortunate reality of suicide contagion. In the latter part of the show, we pivot towards a more hopeful note, discussing the Veteran Business Collective (VBC) and its crucial role in aiding veterans. We also discuss good leadership principles and celebrate successful veteran-owned businesses. If you or a veteran you know are struggling, there is help available. Please call the Suicide Help Line at 988.

Fun Fun Fun & Informative

I really enjoy this one, a ton of fun and what great information as well. I listened to the episode with Dr. Pricope about all the things she is doing with the UN and was blown away, then out of curiosity checked out the one about geospatial intelligence, great conversations, fun and informative!

DR. MESTampa ,

Interesting & Bingeworthy

This podcast has opened my eyes to this entire world. I did not even know what geospatial was three months ago. The host is a good mix of witty and fun and approaches these highly technical and informational subjects in a digestible and easy to listen to fashion. I have enjoyed each episode, even the one about Football! (I’m not a football person) Highly recommend this podcast and now my friends have started diving in as well, enjoy!

NarniaRO ,

Geospatial expert podcast of superb quality!

How refreshing to finally have an incredibly informative, fun and varied podcast that is hosted by an actual GEOINT expert! The way the host is able to engage with his guests to highlight timely and relevant questions, trends and information is unique and therefore the podcast can explore deeply technological topics in a very approachable way. Keep up the great work!
