Monologue:

  • Splooting Everywhere
  • DSISD End of School Year Retirements

Guest:

Chad Lawson is a former Green Beret and Ranger-certified U.S. Army veteran who spent the final seven years of his distinguished military career in special operations as part of a Special Missions Unit. He reported for boot camp on the morning of September 11, 2001, and medically retired in September 2019.

Over the course of his service, Chad completed 15 combat deployments between 2003 and 2018. Chad has received numerous awards for his bravery and leadership, including the Silver Star in 2012 for his heroic actions during a battle in 2011.

Chad is an active member of his community and he co-founded The Duskin's and Stephens Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to supporting the families of fallen Special Operations soldiers in honor of his teammates Mike Duskin and Riley Stephens, both of whom were killed in action in 2012.

Chad also coached his son’s youth sports teams and founded TCG—Tenacity, Courage, Grit—a local AAU basketball program that continues to grow under Luke Axtel's leadership.

Professionally, Chad is the Head of Sales at Zignal Labs, a company that specializes in open-source intelligence software. This role allows Chad to stay connected with and support the military community.

Based in Dripping Springs, Steve Mallett and Michelle Lewis invite you into their world of engaging conversations with guests who bring fresh ideas, humor, and wisdom to the table. They dive into everything from life’s absurdities to community quirks, adding their signature twist of small-town charm and bold candor. Think of them as the funny neighbors with the best stories, the ones who always tell it like it is. With a healthy dose of Hill Country spirit, they explore local gossip and topics that connect us all—proving you don’t need to be famous to be extraordinary; you just need a microphone and the courage to share your voice. Every episode is a mix of laughter, insight, and connection, making this podcast one you won’t want to miss! New episodes weekly!
