Volume of Fire is a conversation between Army Ranger sniper-turned-attorney Ryan Cleckner and Marine officer-turned-entrepreneur Nishan Campbell. They're friends who took very different paths and share one common thread: fathers who strive to be better men. Each episode covers military life, business and leadership, fatherhood and family, and the lessons that carry over from one to the others, with guns along the way. It's not a gun show, though guns will come up. It's two guys, some windshield time, and honest answers. Two gunfighters. A lifetime of lessons. Plenty left to learn.

Earn the Ride Down

Season 1 · Episode 3

Thursday, October 15, 2026 • Duration 01:38:23

Episode three of Volume of Fire comes to you from the Outlaw Lounge at Gunfighter Canyon in Flagstaff, Arizona. Ryan starts with "koalafying," the Ranger battalion hazing ritual of bear-hugging a tree upside down, and what it teaches about mind over body. From there, Ryan and Nishan get into finding your wall and pushing it back, why trust fund kids and private equity safety nets change how people take risks, and how Grok Bot has Ryan working twice as hard while getting five times as much done. Then they flip it: learning to slow down and feel the wind, home gyms and saunas, officer vs. enlisted and doing more by doing less, and commander's intent. They finish with a debate on whether the NFA is really dead, laws vs. regulations, poking the ATF in the eye, and why the Second Amendment doesn't give you any rights at all.

Hosts: Ryan Cleckner and Nishan Campbell
Recorded at Gunfighter Canyon in Flagstaff, Arizona.

The Curse of the Ambitious

Season 1 · Episode 2

Wednesday, October 7, 2026 • Duration 01:08:39

Episode two of Volume of Fire comes to you from the Outlaw Lounge at Gunfighter Canyon in Flagstaff, Arizona.

Ryan and Nishan start in the comment section: why Ryan moved from Google SEO to social media, why citing a fact draws more trolls than sharing an opinion, and what happens when you re-troll the trolls.

From there it gets personal, with protecting kids from online bullies who now follow them home, how much rope to give them, and Nishan's rule against "permanent mistakes." They finish on leadership, from groupthink and the power of a simple "no" to why accountability is not blame and the LAPD drill, with one of the best lines of the episode: "The curse of the ambitious is never being satisfied."

Fighting to Be Mediocre

Season 1 · Episode 1

Friday, October 2, 2026 • Duration 01:28:18

In the first episode of Volume of Fire, former Army Ranger sniper Ryan Cleckner and longtime Marine officer Nishan Campbell sit down at Gunfighter Canyon for an unfiltered conversation about guns, the military, and ego.

They start with why the average gun store wouldn't survive in any other industry, and why "NRA certified" and leading with your resume should make you a little suspicious. From there it's mental toughness: cold plunges, Ryan's 125-mile ultramarathon, and his admission that in the Rangers he had to "wake up every single morning and fight to be mediocre."

They also compare Ranger School with the Marine Corps' The Basic School, argue that a course can screen you or teach you but not both, and make the case for being proud of your service even if you never kicked a door. They close with staying relevant as you age, the Dunning-Kruger effect, a fresh jiu-jitsu purple belt, and what "Volume of Fire" really means.
