This week, join Aaron, Peaches, and Trent as they dive into crucial life skills essential for your success not just in the military, but specifically in the rigorous assessment and selection process of Air Force Special Warfare.

We've observed a common trend among candidates, and in this episode, we unpack the importance of seemingly mundane yet indispensable skills like driving a stick shift, mastering the art of doing laundry, and even the basics of ordering at restaurants and engaging in normal conversations.

Remember, it's not just about being extraordinary; it's about being exceptionally prepared. The takeaway? Embrace your uniqueness, but never underestimate the power of being grounded and relatable. Tune in, subscribe, and embark on this transformative journey with us. Don't miss out on future episodes packed with invaluable insights and advice. Like, subscribe, and join us as we elevate ourselves to new heights together!

Also, thanks to each and every one of you that helped us get to 300 episodes. That's pretty rad, and we are all very aware that it has nothing to do with us, and everything to do with you. 

Say something nice in the comments about Trent's hair.
