No Way Out

• Beyond the Linear OODA Loop: Jon Becker Breaks Down Authentic OODA Loop

  Send us a textExplore the authentic OODA loop with Jon Becker on No Way Out Podcast – John Boyd's strategies for tactical leadership and decision makingFresh off Mark “Moose” McGrath’s viral appearance on The Debrief (where the internet lost its mind over authentic OODA), we flip the script: Jon Becker — CEO of Aardvark Tactical and host of the top-rated tactical podcast The Debrief — comes to No Way Out for the highly requested return match.Together with co-hosts Mark McGrath and Brian “Ponch” Rivera, Jon pulls back the curtain on what really happened when Moose flew to California and spent two days dismantling the “linear OODA loop” myth in front of Jon and a room full of California’s top tactical leaders.In this episode you’ll discover:Why orientation — not speed — is what actually wins (and kills)How Jon’s entire worldview on Boyd shifted overnightThe moment a room of alpha SWAT commanders realized they’d been teaching OODA wrong for decadesDestruction & Creation explained simply (and why almost nobody talking about OODA has actually read it)Real-world examples: Blockbuster vs Netflix, Toyota Kaizen, AI thought bubbles, and why your team’s implicit biases are quietly sabotaging every decisionThe Socratic “no-slide-deck” method that turned skeptics into believers in under five hoursIf you thought the Moose-on-The-Debrief episode was fire, this is the sequel you didn’t know you needed.Jon Becker on LinkedinJohn R.

• Unrestricted Decline: Debt, Inflation and The Road to Serfdom (w/ Max Borders)

  Send us a textWhat if the maps we’re all using are lying to us?In this episode we yank the curtain back and connect the dots most shows leave scattered: The “devouring mother” vs. “tyrannical father” archetypes now fighting for control of America’s soul How printed money and $38 trillion in debt quietly tax you every single day Why a household “poverty line” just hit $140k in parts of the country — and why almost nobody wants to admit it Healthcare’s textbook death spiral: community rating, third-party payer distortion, Medicare price floors, and the cartel that profits from it China’s century-of-humiliation memory, Belt & Road resource grabs, fentanyl pipelines, and why their planners think in 50-year chunks while we argue in 24-hour cycles The OODA loop as the antidote to mass psychology, narrative warfare, and orientation collapseThree Gen Xers — Mark, Ponch, and Max Borders (Underthrow) — refuse to treat these as separate stories. Instead we stitch them into one coherent picture of unrestricted decline and show you exactly where the leverage points still exist.If you’ve ever felt the system is rigged but couldn’t quite name how, this conversation hands you the mental models to see it clearly — and the agency to do something about it.Watch or listen now.

• The REAL Story of the Snowmobile – John Boyd’s Famous Metaphor Comes to Life

  Send us a textA grain elevator turned upside down. A Chevy bumper cut in half. A Model T steering sector pulled from the yard. That’s not a lab; that’s the birth of the modern snowmobile—and the clearest proof that real creativity starts with what’s already in your hands.We sit down with Mitchell Johnson to trace Polaris’s arc from a small Minnesota shop to a powerhouse that reshaped winter travel, ATVs, and utility vehicles. Along the way, we map John Boyd’s snowmobile metaphor to the shop floor: analysis breaks things apart; synthesis recombines them into something that works in the wild. Mitchell shares how his father and uncle—fresh from the Navy—built the first sleds, learned fast from failure when the track sank, and fixed it with canvas pockets. He walks us through Alaska’s transformation from dog teams to snowmobiles, and the cultural DNA that kept Polaris close to terrain, test riders, and customers.If you care about innovation that survives contact with reality, this conversation is a field manual. Listen for practical insights on synthesis, OODA in practice, cross-pollination between domains, and customer-driven design that wins off-road and on ice. If this resonates, follow the show, share it with your boss,  and drop a review so more builders can find it.Mitchell Johnson on LinkedInPolaris Snowmobile HistoryJohn R.

• MEDEVAC to Mental Health: Ketamine – 80 % Suicidal Thoughts Gone in Days | Dr. Grundmann

  Send us a textWhat if relief wasn’t months away, but days? We sit down with ER physician and Ember Health cofounder Dr. Nico Grundmann to unpack how IV ketamine delivers fast, measurable change for people living with depression, PTSD, and suicidal thoughts—especially veterans and first responders under relentless stress. No hype, no mystique: just clear protocols, clinical guardrails, and results that hold up to scrutiny.Dr. Nico explains why modern science views depression as stress- and trauma-driven neural pruning, and how a focused series of four infusions over two weeks can regrow synapses in emotional regulation circuits. The outcome isn’t euphoria—it’s alignment. Joy returns when life warrants it; grief shows up when it should; apathy loosens its grip. We also dig into the “neuroplasticity window” that follows each session, when therapy becomes easier and more effective, helping people integrate insights and sustain change.We address the tough questions head-on: safety, misuse, and the difference between clinical dosing and recreational patterns; why benzodiazepines can blunt benefits; who should avoid treatment (e.g., schizophrenia); and how ketamine compares to SSRIs, alcohol, and emerging therapies. Access is changing fast: the VA now offers IV ketamine in many states, some insurers are coming on board, and reputable clinics can help with out-of-network reimbursement. You’ll hear a stark statistic—an 80% drop in suicidal ideation within a day for many patients—and a grounded reminder that maintenance is normal, not failure.If you or someone you love is struggling, this conversation is a practical map: what to ask, how to find credible care, and how to pair ketamine with therapy to get the most out of that critical two-week window.
