Chad Robichaux: Saving Aziz - Danger Close with Jack Carr

Today’s guest is Chad Robichaux.

Chad is a United States Force Recon Marine veteran, author, MMA champion, keynote speaker, podcast host, founder of the Mighty Oaks Foundation, and co-founder of Save Our Allies.

After his military service, Chad founded the Mighty Oaks Foundation, a non-profit organization geared toward helping active duty, military veterans, and first responders combat PTSD through faith-based combat trauma and resiliency programs. Chad has spoken to more than 400,000 active duty troops and has hosted more than 4,500 active military and veterans at Mighty Oaks ranches around the country.

Chad is also the co-founder of Save Our Allies, a non-profit organization focused on the evacuation of Americans and American allies trapped in Afghanistan. The mission started as Chad’s quest to save his friend and long-time Afghan interpreter, but quickly morphed into something greater. The organization has helped evacuate more than 17,000 people from Afghanistan. His new book, Saving Aziz, details that experience.

Chad has authored numerous books including The Truth About PTSD, Fight For Us, Path To Resiliency, Behind The Lines, his memoir An Unfair Advantage, Redeployed and Marriage Advance: Love Never Gives Up.

Outside of the military, Chad served as a Special Agent with the U.S. Air Marshals and as a Surveillance Detection Senior Program Manager for the U.S. State Department. He is also the recipient of the Medal of Valor for his bravery beyond the call of duty in law enforcement.

Chad is co-host of The Situation Report podcast with Jeremy Stalnecker. He also hosts the Robo Show with Chad Robichaux, a podcast that covers everything from military specializations to martial arts training.

A former Mixed Martials Arts Champion, Chad has a professional record of 15-2. He is a 4th degree Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt who trained under the legendary Master Carlson Gracie Jr.
