Ep 095 | Brian Jodice – Pick Up the Six Podcast

September 26, 2022 By Thad Forester

Brian Jodice is the owner and host of Pick up the Six Productions and Podcast, where he shares stories about the men and women among us who go above-and-beyond to PICK UP THE SIX through SERVICE, PURPOSE and IMPACT.

He recalls many impactful interviews he’s done in the last few years, among them was the Commander of the USS Cole when it was attacked by al-Qaeda terrorists in 2000. Also, the lesser-known pilot for Marcus Luttrell’s rescue during Operation Red Wings, Jeff “Spanky” Peterson.

We also discuss F3 Nation – what it is, why they call him “Hello Kitty”, the benefits of F3 and Brian’s favorite workouts, including his recent 208 mile relay in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Mentioned in this episode:

CDR. Kirk Lippold – USS Cole

Jeff Spanky Peterson – Operations Red Wings

Thad Forester – My Brother in Arms

Jason McCarthy – Founder of GoRuck
