  • #83 - Tactical Performance and Training the Mind to Not Quit - with Coach Greg Amorelli
    Jul 3 2026

    Coach Greg Amorelli has spent decades under the bar, in uniform, and developing his craft. Navy Rescue Swimmer at 29. Army Infantry Officer at 40. His entry into the military was later than most - and instead of outworking father time, he started outsmarting it.

    Most tactical athletes train to put bandaids on a bullet holes - fixing problems instead of avoiding them in the first place. Greg gives his tried and true approach to tactical training, staying power, and acquiring the skill to mentally endure when every fiber is telling you to quit.

  • #79 - Chase Values, Not Finish Lines: Ultras, SERE & the Journey of Life with Jon Fischer
    May 31 2026

    Most people spend their entire life avoiding the breakdown. Jon Fischer runs toward it - sometimes for 200 miles.

    Jon is a SERE Specialist, ultra runner, and founder of Phase One. This conversation goes deep into what suffering actually builds, why transformation begins at the start of difficulty and not the end, and what it looks like to stop chasing finish lines and start chasing the person you're becoming.

    Adversity isn't the obstacle. It's the door.

    Prioritization over balance. Every time.

    • 23 verified elite performers.
    • 5 mental techniques.
    • Research-backed, field-tested, and immediately applicable

  • #77 - Full Day of Eating (High Carb + High Protein) and Top Nutrition Questions
    May 19 2026

    No meal plan. No complicated prep. No excuses.

    I walk through a full day of eating and answer nutrition questions from tactical athletes who want to fuel performance.

    What's inside: the order that actually matters, the staples list I swear by, how to know if you're eating enough, and why the scale can be a liar.

    The bar doesn't lie. Your nutrition shouldn't either.

    We break down our simple but effective approach to nutrition that ensures performance.
