Peaches is joined by Kris Tomes for a deep dive into what actually makes candidates successful at selection—and why trainability beats talent every time. Fresh off the Las Vegas Operator Training Summit, they break down what they’re seeing over and over: guys showing up with ego, bad habits, and internet knowledge instead of solid fundamentals. From water confidence and underwaters to running mechanics, mobility, rucking, and stress management, this episode explains why OTS isn’t about getting smoked—it’s about building real capability. If you want honest feedback, better prep, and fewer surprises in the pipeline, this is the roadmap.

Peaches flies solo and tackles one of the laziest takes on the internet: “recruiters always lie.” Using UK Royal Navy ads, Air Force gyms, and real recruiter workloads, this episode breaks down why recruiting videos show the best version of the military—and why that’s not deception, it’s marketing. Peaches calls out bad-faith criticism, explains what recruiters actually juggle day to day, and reminds would-be candidates that patience, context, and ownership matter. If you think one Instagram reel defines military life, this episode is for you.

This episode isn’t about tactics—it’s about power. Aaron sits down with Drew Johnson to break down why local government, community accountability, and individual responsibility matter more than anything coming out of Washington. From growing up poor in Appalachia to running for Nevada State Treasurer, Drew explains why big government is inefficient, innovation dies without IP protection, and national security starts at the state level. They hit mining, rare earth minerals, China stealing tech, financial literacy, crypto, Bitcoin, and why trades beat college for most Americans. If you think posting online counts as civic engagement, this episode is going to check you hard.
