Ep#194 Q.W.E.R.T.Y.U.I.O.P (feat. Jenessa Lam - Didebunk) #dkLa! Pirate Radio podcast

1:41:18

💥 Episode 200 – "I Reject Rejection" with Brett Lawrence, the Second 💥 For the first time in #dkLa! Pirate Radio history, an episode is so packed with stories, experience, and raw intensity that it had to be split into two! And who better to mark this milestone than Brett Lawrence, the Second —a retired Army veteran, federal weapons expert, private protection agent, and, as some call him, a Cyborg John Wick. From high-level military operations to celebrity protection, from K9 training to raising three kids while navigating life as a "part-cyborg," Brett’s journey is one of resilience, transformation, and relentless drive. We talk about overcoming rejection, adapting to an ever-changing world, and the kind of experiences that forge an unbreakable will. This is not just an interview—it’s a testament to survival, adaptability, and refusing to be defined by limits. And this is only Part 1. 🎙️ Part 2 drops at the end of the year—consider this the first half of an unforgettable journey.…
