Just a quick hitter from Trent- just to stay on brand he starts off with some Aaron slander and then gets into the meat and potatoes.

In this episode, Peaches and Trent break down what it takes to truly lead in the high-stakes world of Air Force Special Warfare. They tackle the myths around rank, money, and recognition, and they don’t shy away from the hard truths: the physical and mental grind, the risks that come with pushing boundaries, and why leadership in AFSW means earning your place, not just holding a title. From taking on extra responsibilities to standing up to higher-ups who don’t understand the mission, they lay out why discipline, respect, and risk-taking are essential to getting the job done.

They dive into what’s wrong with risk aversion in today’s Air Force, how standing up to traditional norms is reshaping tactics, and why physical readiness is about setting an example, not just passing tests. If you’re ready to hear what it really takes to be respected and successful in elite operations, this episode is all grit and no excuses.
