When War is The Easy Part | Mike Glover | Ep. 432

After two years of legal battles and business upheaval, Mike Glover returns to the podcast with a clarity and perspective few men ever earn. Mike spent nearly two decades as a U.S. Army Green Beret and Special Forces sergeant major, deploying to combat theaters, leading reconnaissance, sniper, and operations elements, and later serving as a contractor for the CIA in high-risk security environments. When he hung up the uniform he founded Fieldcraft Survival, turning elite skills into real-world survival training and gear for civilians, law enforcement, and government clients — shaping an entire industry in the process.

In this conversation, we talk about what the last two years have actually been like — the legal pressure, the business fallout, and what it’s like to navigate both in public. Mike lays out where things stand now, what he’s learned, and how adversity changes your perspective when it’s no longer theoretical. We also get into what he’s building next, the direction he’s taking in business, and what he hopes the future will hold.
