Four Titles, One Truth
Four Titles, One Truth is a raw, real, and often hilarious podcast hosted by two retired Army veterans — a Sergeant Major and a Colonel — who’ve lived, led, and learned through decades of service, fatherhood, marriage, and manhood.
Tommie and Lance explore the real conversations that matter: life after the military, raising families, confronting loss, staying grounded, and navigating the world as Black men in America.
This isn’t just a military podcast. It’s a lot more. Join the conversations between two friends, two men who’ve seen it a lot, learned even more— and have something to say.
Veterans. Husbands. Fathers. Black Men.

Retirement: The Mindset Shift After the Uniform S1, Ep4
You prepare for the transition, but no one prepares you for the mindset shift.
In this episode, we talk about what it really feels like to walk away from the military after decades of service. Not just the paperwork or the ceremony, but the mental, emotional, and personal transformation that happens when the uniform comes off for good.
We open up about:
•The emotions we carried going into retirement
•How we prepared (and where we didn’t)
•The identity shift that comes with no longer wearing a rank
•The role our families played in helping us adjust
•And the advice we’d give anyone about to step into civilian life
Retirement isn’t the end, it’s just a new mission.
Let’s talk about how to face it with honesty, clarity, and peace.
