The #1 Rule of Leadership: Just Give a F*ck

In this raw and unapologetic episode of the Talkin’ Crazy Podcast, Meech dives headfirst into what it really means to lead like you give a damn.

The Give-a-F*ck Factor: What Marines Are Missing

In this powerful episode of Talkin’ Crazy, Meech sits down with Lexus Schaeffer—Marine veteran, former MACE Chief Instructor, and current leader in the Human Performance Branch. What starts as a walk through Schaeffer’s Marine Corps journey turns into a masterclass on leadership, humility, and growth. From showing up at the MACE as “Nick the New Guy” to leading the entire program, Schaeffer breaks down what it takes to lead leaders.

The two dive into their shared experiences—balancing family and mission, learning from failure, and how real leadership means telling people they suck… and helping them get better. This one’s not just for Marines—it’s for anyone chasing growth, respect, and real impact.

Passed Over, Not Passed Up: The Mindset Shift That Changed Everything

Man, you just had to be there… 2024 was one of the hardest years of my career. I had the package, the experience, the work ethic—but when the Gunnery Sergeant board came out, my name wasn’t on it. I felt like I wasn’t good enough. I questioned everything. But instead of letting that moment define me, I made a choice—to keep grinding, to double down, and to make damn sure that when my time came, I was ready.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever been passed over—whether it’s for a promotion, a job, or an opportunity you KNOW you deserved. I break down what that moment felt like, how I bounced back, and the lessons that got me from rejection to selection.

If you’ve ever felt overlooked, unappreciated, or like all your hard work wasn’t paying off—this one’s for you. Stay in the race. Your time is coming.
