In today’s edition of SOFREP Radio (our video podcast series) former Navy SEAL and SOFREP CEO Brandon Webb and longtime pal Jurgis Polujanskas sit down for an unfiltered, whiskey-soaked dive into the dark corners of the world—North Korea, Haiti, the Mexican cartel underworld—places where reality gets twisted, and survival is a full-contact sport. They kick things off reminiscing about Harvard Business School, where Jurgis, a Lithuanian madman with a taste for danger, first called Webb out mid-lecture after spotting his Instagram. A friendship forged in early-morning Navy SEAL-type workouts and mutual disregard for the easy path ensued.

From there, it’s a downhill bobsled ride through the world’s most chaotic hellholes. Jurgis recalls North Korea’s surreal stage play of oppression, where plastic fruit is passed off as real, and paranoia is served with breakfast. In Mexico, he drinks with cartel fixers and watches bodies drop like confetti. Haiti? A lost cause—bottom hit, and they just kept digging.

Between grim tales of collapsed states and failed wars, Webb brings it back to the personal—stem cell therapy in Medellín, a last-ditch effort to undo the wear and tear of war. It’s working. A modern medical miracle, straight from Colombia. This episode is raw, unvarnished, and as real as it gets. Buckle up and enjoy the ride.
