"There's a consequence to everything you do on a chess board, there's a consequence to everything you do in a firefight."David Bellavia is an author, radio host, public speaker, and US Army veteran, known famously as the first and only living Medal of Honor recipient from Operation Iraqi Freedom.Today's double-length episode is a real treat.During the first hour, David recounts the events in the Iraq war leading up to the Second Battle of Fallujah and gives a play-by-play of the night in vivid detail.In the second hour, David recounts his years after retiring from the Army, his then-political ambitions for his home in Western New York, and the unexpected event when - 15 years after the fact - he was awarded the Medal of Honor. David's new book Remember the Ramrods is a page-turning read about Bellavia's Army unit, an infantry battalion known as the Ramrods-2nd Battalion 2nd infantry regiment, 1st Infantry Division.Enjoy the conversation, storytelling, and thoughtful discourse in this must-listen episode.------------Visit Notepd.com to read our idea lists & sign up to create your own!My new book Skip the Line is out!

Jaime Rogozinski founded the WallStreetBets sub-Reddit in 2012 during the height of the #OccupyWallStreet movement as a response to how banks use the stock market like a casino.

During the pandemic, the forum exploded in notoriety when the group invested heavily in GameStop, AMC, and other 'meme stocks'. Today, Jaime dives into the history of the group he founded and divulges information on the new 'gamified investing' platform he's looking to launch in 2023!Additional topics include:The difference between WallStreetBets members and "traditional" Investors (00:04:13)The history and ethos of WallStreetBets (00:19:49)"Three traders walk into a chat room..."
