    #192 | Appalachian Trail at 72: Vietnam Veteran Rand Timmerman on Grief, Sobriety & Survival
    May 10 2026
    In this episode of Talks with Gallagher, Rand Timmerman shares how, at 72 years old, he set out to hike the Appalachian Trail despite an artificial knee, a limp, and major physical limitations. He explains how the journey began as a way to help his brother process the devastating loss of his wife and became a deeper story of endurance, healing, and purpose.

    Rand opens up about serving as a Marine combat veteran in Vietnam, building a long career as an attorney, walking through alcoholism and recovery, and facing near-death moments on the trail. He also recounts powerful spiritual experiences during the hike, including a terrifying storm in the Smokies that left him praying for his life and changed him from the inside out.

    This conversation covers grief, trauma, brotherhood, addiction recovery, faith, resilience, and what it means to keep moving forward one step at a time.

    #190 | From Marine to Cisco Director to Executive Coach: Leadership, AI & Purpose | David Richards
    May 5 2026
    What does it take to completely reinvent yourself—not once, but three times? In this episode of Talks with Gallagher, host John Gallagher sits down with David Richards—Marine Corps veteran, former Cisco Systems director, Spartan Ultra athlete, executive coach, and author—for a powerful conversation on leadership, artificial intelligence, discipline, and discovering your true purpose. David didn't plan any of this. He wanted to be a writer. Instead, life handed him a 15-year military career, a 17-year run at Cisco Systems, rock bottom in 2020, and a complete reinvention at 50. What he found on the other side is something every leader, entrepreneur, and high performer needs to hear. In this episode, David shares: — How he accidentally became a Marine Corps artillery officer after nearly failing Navy ROTC at Penn State — What it was really like transitioning from military discipline to Cisco's flip-flops-and-cargo-shorts culture — His candid take on AI and job disruption—and why he believes we are on the precipice of a seismic shift in our species — Why the quality of what you get out of AI depends entirely on the quality of what you put into it. What completing a 32-mile Spartan Ultra race at age 50 taught him about mental toughness, leadership, and carrying others through hard seasons. The direct connection between physical discipline, neuroscience, and leadership energy—why the best leaders are the best storytellers—and what Simon Sinek told him at a Cisco leadership event—The one question from Think and Grow Rich that completely rewired his sense of purpose—How to get unstuck in your career, business, or life: why your WHY always matters more than your HOW—What's coming next—including his 5th book releasing this summer. Whether you're navigating a career transition, building your own business, or trying to lead with more clarity and presence, this conversation will challenge and inspire you.
