Find a Way: Patrick Nugent on Resilience, Recovery, and Purpose

Épisode 14

lundi 17 août 2026 • Durée 01:02:38

Patrick Nugent spent much of his life drawn to physical challenges. He grew up playing football, hockey, and lacrosse, played football at The Citadel, became its regimental commander, and ultimately achieved his goal of becoming a Marine infantry officer.

Then, during a live-fire training exercise in Hawaii, Patrick was struck by a bullet and sustained life-changing injuries. At 26 years old, he was confronted with an uncertain prognosis, a long recovery at Walter Reed, and eventually the realization that the Marine Corps career he had envisioned was coming to an end.

Patrick shares how he learned to break an overwhelming recovery into measurable steps, including a first mile that took 48 minutes, and how returning to sport eventually led him to the Invictus Games, where he earned a bronze medal in powerlifting and was selected to captain Team USA. For Patrick, that experience restored something bigger than athletic ability: the belief that he could still lead and contribute after leaving the uniform.

We also break down Patrick’s G.R.I.T. framework for responding to adversity:

Grow your grit
Regulate your response
Insist on finishing
Turn pain into service

Throughout the conversation, Patrick returns to one simple phrase that carried him through some of his hardest moments: Find a way.

Key takeaway: Resilience is not only something we discover after adversity arrives. It can be built beforehand through difficult experiences, deliberate action, reflection, and learning to focus on the next controllable step.

Moving Forward Without Moving On: Amber Sax on Grief, Empathy, and Honoring Those We’ve Lost

Saison 13

lundi 3 août 2026 • Durée 01:04:05

Content note: The conversation deals directly with death, military aviation loss, grief, and the long process of healing that follows. It is a heavy discussion, but it is also one about love, resilience, empathy, service, advocacy, and learning how to move forward while continuing to honor those we have lost.

On June 8, 2022, Swift 1-1, an MV-22B Osprey, crashed in eastern California following a mechanical failure, taking the lives of five United States Marines. In this episode, Bubba sits down with Amber Sax, Gold Star widow of Captain John Sax and founder of the Capt Sax Foundation, to remember John as a husband, father, Marine, and lifelong aviator.

Amber shares the ripple effects of a military aviation mishap, including the impact on surviving families, squadron members, first responders, and the aviators who must continue flying. She also reflects on the importance of giving people permission to grieve, releasing guilt without releasing love, and understanding that moving forward does not mean forgetting.

The conversation concludes with Amber’s work through the Capt Sax Foundation, which provides scholarships to aspiring pilots, maintainers, engineers, air traffic controllers, transitioning service members, and others pursuing careers in aviation. The foundation has awarded more than $80,000 in scholarships and hopes to surpass $100,000 this year. Amber personally covers its operating expenses so that every donated dollar can go directly to scholarship recipients.

Key takeaway: One of the most meaningful ways we can honor those we have lost is by living fully, serving others, and carrying their legacy forward.

Épisode 10

lundi 22 juin 2026 • Durée 01:01:53

In this episode of Lead with Bubba Scott, I sit down with Dr. Jim Womack, one of the most influential voices in modern manufacturing, management, and Lean Thinking. Dr. Womack is the founder of the Lean Enterprise Institute and helped translate the Toyota Production System into what the world now knows as Lean. We talk about his early curiosity, what he learned from studying General Motors and Toyota, and why Lean is much more than tools, buzzwords, or cost-cutting.

This conversation is really about leadership: how leaders see work, define value, support people, and build better systems. Dr. Womack explains the importance of Gemba, going to the place where value is created, and why leaders need to ask better questions, show respect for the people doing the work, and focus on solving problems at the source.
