Send us Fan MailAaron, Trent, and Peaches sit down to talk through the ongoing concerns around the Zulu course ruck, heat casualties, instructor accountability, and whether TACP-specific standards should have ever been applied across the entire Air Force Special Warfare pipeline.The team breaks down why the ruck event has become such a major issue, what makes the progression questionable, how the Zulu course ended up with a ruck standard pulled from TACP requirements, and why the problem is bigger than one bad day in San Antonio heat.They also address the difference between hard training and bad programming, the role of instructional drift, why students may not feel safe giving honest feedback, and why parents, candidates, instructors, and leadership all deserve transparency when multiple students end up hospitalized.This episode is not about lowering standards. It is about applying the right standards at the right time, protecting students from preventable injury, and fixing a system before it breaks more people.Check out Tasty Gains: TastyGains.comGet AFSPECWAR prep gear through ATACLETE: OnesReady.comChapters:00:00 - Intro, Tasty Gains, and ATACLETE03:16 - Why the Team Is Talking About the Zulu Ruck04:21 - Message to Training Wing Leadership05:26 - Where the Ruck Standard Came From06:17 - Should This Ruck Be in Zulu?06:40 - Trent on Zulu Course Purpose and Overtraining08:14 - Apprentice Course vs. Zulu Course Standards08:28 - The 65-Pound Dry Weight Argument10:51 - Zulu Foot March Standards12:56 - Applying TACP Requirements Across AFSPECWAR15:08 - Why the Ruck Progression Does Not Make Sense17:37 - Proper Ruck Progression and TF Voodoo Lessons20:03 - Development, BMT, SWAS, and No Real Ruck Build-Up21:53 - Why Water Training Was Added to SWAS24:59 - Feedback From Former TACP26:06 - TACP Requirements vs. PJ, CCT, and SR Requirements27:47 - Operational Requirements and Bad Logic28:39 - Heat Casualties Were the Warning Sign29:46 - Lower-Leg Injuries and Long-Term Damage30:24 - Comparing Zulu Heat Casualties to Indoc32:48 - Instructor Judgment and Training Intent34:46 - Toxic Comments and Public Accountability36:01 - Blaming Students for Heat Casualties38:27 - Plate Carriers, Plates, and Student Safety40:52 - Toxic Culture and When to Amputate the Problem42:35 - New Leadership and Fixing the Course43:20 - Giving Leadership Room to Fix It44:17 - The Thunderbirds Example47:06 - Asking Leadership for Help48:30 - Final Thoughts and Members-Only PreviewSupport the showJoin this channel to get access to perks: HEREBuzzsprout Subscription page:  HERERegister for our Operator Training Summit:  OperatorTrainingSummit.comFind an Air Force Recruiter: AirForce.comCollabs:Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code:  ONESREADY ATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code):  ATACLeteDanger Close Apparel - Promo Code:  ONESREADYDFND Apparel...

This week Heff is joined by Warnie (Traders and DT Talk) to review Round 18 of the 2026 AFL Fantasy season from a draft and keeper league perspective.Ed Allan is one of the biggest stories of the round and has officially entered 2G4P territory. After continuing to show promising signs at AFL level, we discuss his role, scoring potential and whether he can become a reliable fantasy option rather than another short-term tease. With Allan attracting more waiver claims than any other available player this week, how aggressively should coaches be pursuing him?Rory Lobb is back on the fantasy radar thanks to his move into the ruck. The “Ruck Lobbster” role has given him a clear scoring boost, but how long will it last, and what happens when the Western Bulldogs' other ruck options return? We assess whether he is worth a significant waiver bid and whether he can be trusted on the field.Jacob van Rooyen also demands attention following his six-goal performance. While the ceiling was impressive, key forwards can be difficult to rely on in fantasy. We look at whether his recent form makes him a genuine option or whether he is better used as a matchup-dependent streamer.We also work through the other popular names on this week's waiver wire, including Rhylee West, Joel Fitzgerald, Mason Wood, Cameron Zurhaar, Harry Morrison, Flynn Riley, Marcus Herbert, Riley Hardeman, Will Brodie, Matthew Cottrell, Luke Nankervis and more.As always, it's about working out what's real, what's role-driven, and what's just a one-week spike.If you're playing draft and keeper leagues, this episode is packed with the insights you need to stay ahead of the curve.Become a Keeper League Podcast member:https://keeperleaguepod.com.au/keeper-league-membership/Join our Discord:https://discord.gg/APjqvT22zePlay FootyNumbers:https://footynumbers.comPlay FootyHeads:https://footyheads.com

Es sollte eigentlich kein Big Bang werden. Doch die Koalitionspartner haben sich am Schluss erstaunlich diskret auf ein ansehnliches Reformpaket geeinigt. Die Zumutungen für Arbeitnehmer bei Krankschreibung und Befristungen werden durch Steuererleichterungen flankiert. Die Wirtschaft darf sich darüber hinaus über Bürokratieabbau freuen, aber der 8-Stunden-Tag bleibt. Reicht das für einen Ruck in Deutschland? Oder wird auch dieses Paket von Parteien, Lobbyisten und Länderchefs zerpflückt werden?

On hour two of Flames Talk, Pat Steinberg is joined for the full hour by Sportsnet's Eric Francis for another edition of the Eric Francis Hour. With the NHL Draft just one day away, Pat and Eric dive into the significant moves the Flames made leading up to the draft, including acquiring Simon Nemec from the Devils. They also discuss how Zayne Parekh could push his way into the top four at training camp and whether the Flames should select a forward or defenceman at sixth overall. The conversation continues with a look at whether drafting for positional need is worth the risk of reaching instead of selecting the best available player! (27:46) The Eric Francis Hour continues with a look at the moves made during the week leading up to the draft, where the Ruck twins could potentially end up, and whether the Flames have the assets to acquire both. Eric also gives his perspective on what Calgary might do with Connor Zary and whether he could be dealt, the importance of Zach Whitecloud to the team, and if more picks could be on the move at the draft!

Send us Fan MailDr. Dave Walton from TF Voodoo joins Aaron and Peaches to break down how to actually train for rucking without wrecking your body.Dave is a retired Green Beret, doctor, rucking coach, and the brain behind TF Voodoo. In this episode, he explains why most people train for rucking wrong, why “just ruck more” is one of the fastest ways to get injured, and how to build real load carriage performance through Zone 2 cardio, strength training, progressive ruck programming, foot care, boot selection, sock selection, posture, breathing, pacing, and misery management.This episode is especially important for anyone preparing for Air Force Special Warfare, Special Forces Assessment and Selection, military selection courses, long rucks, heavy rucks, or tactical load carriage events.Dave lays out what candidates should do months before a ruck, how to build a base before adding load, why short intense rucks beat long junk-mile rucks, how to manage blisters, what to eat and drink before and during a ruck, and how to survive if you have a hard ruck coming up with limited time to prepare.Find Dave and TF Voodoo:TFVoodoo.comCheck out Tasty Gains:TastyGains.comTrain with Modern Athlete Strength Systems:OnesReady.comOperator Training Summit:OperatorTrainingSummit.comChapters:00:00 - Ones Ready Intro01:05 - Tasty Gains and Modern Athlete Strength Systems03:11 - Welcome Dr. Dave Walton from TF Voodoo03:30 - Dave's Background in Rucking and Special Forces04:00 - Why “Just Ruck More” Is Terrible Advice05:00 - The Three Parts of Rucking Performance05:53 - Fitness, Technique, and Misery Management06:39 - Start With Zone 2 Running Before Rucking07:30 - Why Zone 2 Builds the Engine08:55 - Build to 90 Minutes of Zone 209:14 - Why Zone 2 Is Boring but Necessary10:00 - Strength Training for Rucking10:55 - Bench Press and Squat Standards11:30 - Upper Body and Lower Body Strength for Load Carriage13:00 - When to Start Actual Rucking13:30 - Field-Based Progressive Load Carriage14:28 - How Often Should You Ruck?15:00 - Start With 10 Percent of Body Weight15:56 - Short Intense Rucks Beat Long Junk Miles16:50 - Why Long Rucks Increase Injury Risk18:22 - Shut Up and Ruck and TF Voodoo Resources19:20 - Load Carriage Training Circulars20:00 - Foot Care for Tactical Athletes20:46 - Dave Does Not Have a Foot Fetish21:20 - Skin, Boots, Socks, and Insoles22:12 - Old Boots vs. Modern Rucking Boots23:00 - Heat, Friction, Moisture, and Blister Formation24:00 - Finding the Right Sock and Boot Combination25:00 - Foot Conditioning Takes Time26:00 - Mobility Screening and Ankle Mobility26:55 - Taylor Starch Is Somewhere Punching the Air27:30 - Flexibility vs. Mobility28:00 - Ruck Selection and Frame Use29:00 - Posture Under a Ruck29:30 - Strength Exercises That Actually Matter30:00 - Six Main Lifts for Tactical Athletes31:25 - Functional Strength vs. Bodybuilding32:30 - Shoulders Back and Down33:15 - Head Up and Eyes on the Horizon34:15 - Breathing Under Load35:00 - Leaning From the Ankles36:00 - Walking Fast vs. Running With a Ruck37:00 - The Ruck Shuffle38:21 - Misery Management and Strap Adjustment39:30 - Hip Belt, Waist Belt, and Load Transfer40:43 - Why You Should Use the Hip Belt42:02 - How to Find Your Iliac Crest42:30 - Sternum Strap and Shoulder Strap Management44:00 - Why Ruck Setup Is Individual44:44 - Unit Ruck Training and Avoiding Injuries46:22 - Free TF Voodoo Training Circulars47:00 - What to Do If You Have a Ruck Tomorrow47:30 - Hydration, Fueling, and Carbs48:30 - Nerd Clusters and Snickers for Ruck Fuel49:30 - How Much Water to Drink During a Ruck50:39 - Fueling During a Zulu Course Refire51:23 - Eat and Drink Before You Think You Need It51:45 - Warm Up Before the Ruck52:20 - Cadence and 180 Beats Per Minute53:15 - Music, Pacing, and Ruck Rhythm55:34 - Liner Socks, KT Tape, and Hot Spots56:30 - Why Duct Tape Is a Bad Idea57:47 - Taping Feet Before Blisters58:23 - Moleskin, Donuts, and Blister Management01:01:16 - Boot Lacing for Hot Spots01:02:20 - Packing the Ruck Correctly01:03:20 - Mental Prep and Not Quitting01:04:10 - Ruck Pacing Strategy01:04:37 - Don't Start Too Fast01:05:00 - Physiological Sigh and Breathing Reset01:07:00 - Arm Swing and Maintaining Pace01:08:30 - Shuffle, Fast Walk, and When Not to Run01:10:21 - Why Stopping Can Break Momentum01:10:55 - Final Thoughts from Dave01:11:41 - TF Voodoo Resources and Rucking Handbook01:12:40 - ClosingSupport the showJoin this channel to get access to perks: HEREBuzzsprout Subscription page:  HERERegister for our Operator Training Summit:  OperatorTrainingSummit.comFind an Air Force Recruiter: AirForce.comCollabs:Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code:  ONESREADY ATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code):  ATACLeteDanger Close Apparel - Promo Code:  ONESREADYDFND Apparel...

Send us Fan MailAaron jumps on solo for a serious episode about the reported Air Force Special Warfare Zulu course ruck event, why it matters, and what candidates need to understand right now.This episode focuses on reports of a heavy evaluated ruck in the Zulu course, including a 10-mile ruck with roughly 100+ pounds, a 15-minute pace standard, full uniform and equipment requirements, Texas heat and humidity, medical concerns, heat casualties, and the larger question of whether the event is operationally valid, properly risk-managed, and appropriately messaged to candidates before they arrive.Aaron also talks directly to future Air Force Special Warfare candidates: if this event exists in the pipeline, you need to prepare differently. Running still matters, but rucking, foot conditioning, equipment setup, hydration, recovery, pacing, boots, socks, and load management now matter even more.This is not about making the pipeline easy. This is about standards, safety, professionalism, validated training, instructor accountability, and making sure candidates are prepared for the events they are actually going to face.Train with us:OperatorTrainingSummit.comAFSOC prep programming:OnesReady.comCheck out Tasty Gains:TastyGains.comChapters:00:00 - Ones Ready Intro01:00 - Aaron Opens With a Serious Message01:30 - The Problem With the Zulu Course02:00 - Why Ones Ready Initially Supported Zulu02:58 - Calling Out a Failure at Chapman Training Annex03:30 - Messages From Parents, Students, and Sources04:10 - Don't Call Peaches, Talk to Aaron05:00 - Accountability for Leadership and Instructors06:00 - The Reported Zulu Ruck Standard06:45 - OFT and SOCOM Ruck Standards Compared07:47 - Block Two and Block Four Ruck Progression08:30 - Why Ones Ready Is Speaking Up09:15 - Helping Candidates When Official Messaging Fails10:12 - Is This Event Operationally Valid?11:00 - What Requirement Does This Ruck Actually Test?12:00 - Could the Instructors Pass Their Own Event?13:00 - Testing Events Before Students Do Them14:54 - Weather, Heat, and Texas Conditions16:00 - Instructor Responsibility and Professional Standards17:18 - Aaron Challenges Instructors to Prove Him Wrong18:00 - Candidate Warning: Your Ruck Volume Is Not High Enough18:45 - Rucking, Foot Conditioning, and Equipment Setup19:45 - What Candidates Need to Know About the Practice Ruck21:00 - Why the Practice Ruck Matters22:11 - The Human Performance Problem23:00 - Take the Practice Ruck Seriously24:00 - Straps, Socks, Boots, and Load Management25:30 - The Evaluated Ruck Event26:51 - Texas Heat, Humidity, and Full Uniform Concerns28:30 - Reported Heat Casualties and Medical Coverage Issues30:00 - Was the Event Worth the Risk?31:31 - Aaron's Open Challenge to the Training Wing32:15 - Medical Planning and Heat Injury Concerns33:00 - Refire Numbers and Course Attrition Concerns33:56 - When Someone Should Have Called Knock It Off35:00 - Safety Calls, Training Events, and Instructor Judgment36:17 - Training Deaths and Why This Matters37:00 - Safety Concerns Should Never Be Shamed39:00 - Respecting Knock-It-Off Calls40:15 - Candidates Must Hydrate and Recover Aggressively41:01 - No More Trash Recovery Habits42:15 - Refire Ruck and San Antonio Forecast43:22 - Heat Index and Refire Conditions45:00 - Why This Standard Does Not Match the Rest of the Force45:51 - What a Better Heavy Ruck Event Could Look Like47:00 - Ones Ready Supported Zulu, But This Has to Change48:14 - Accountability If Students Were Hospitalized49:00 - Why This Episode Had to Happen50:00 - Final Message to Instructors and Candidates50:42 - Sponsors and ClosingSupport the showJoin this channel to get access to perks: HEREBuzzsprout Subscription page:  HERERegister for our Operator Training Summit:  OperatorTrainingSummit.comFind an Air Force Recruiter: AirForce.comCollabs:Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code:  ONESREADY ATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code):  ATACLeteDanger Close Apparel - Promo Code:  ONESREADYDFND Apparel...

Boomer and Rhett are joined by Calgary Flames GM Craig Conroy for an in-depth conversation just days before the NHL Draft. Conroy shares his thoughts on this year's draft class, the growing debate between junior hockey and college hockey, and several prospects who could be on Calgary's radar including Carson Carels, Keaton Verhoff, Viggo Bjork and Caleb Malhotra. He also discusses who gets the final say on draft day, whether the Flames could move up the board, where the organization currently sits in its rebuild, and what it will take to build the next contending team in Calgary. The conversation also touches on Jarome Iginla, the Ruck brothers, expectations for next season, and an update on the Flames' new arena. After Craig signs off, the boys continue the Flames draft discussion, break down the latest storylines around the team and wrap things up with the Boomer Report.

Send us Fan MailAaron, Trent, and Peaches are back in the team room, and this one starts with Tasty Gains, UFC at the White House, soccer, Nitro Circus, sketchy bungee jumping, and somehow ends exactly where it needed to: Air Force Special Warfare pipeline standards.The crew gets into a reported Zulu course ruck event involving a 12-mile ruck at a 15-minute pace with a ruck weighing well over the standard 45 pounds. That turns into a bigger conversation about assessment and selection, training standards, instructional drift, normalized deviance, and why “war is hard” is not a good enough reason to create dumb training events.They also talk about the difference between expectations and standards, why evaluated events need to have a real purpose, why students should not be crushed just because previous generations got crushed, and how pipeline events can drift away from their original intent over time.Also covered: UFC 250, America's 250th, US soccer, Travis Pastrana, Dwayne Hackney's Air Force Cross story, Weapon School patch night, fighter pilot culture, and why Peaches probably does not need to do a 117-pound ruck to prove anything.If you are training for Air Force Special Warfare, waiting to ship, currently in development, or just interested in how military training standards should actually work, this episode matters.Check out Tasty Gains:TastyGains.comTrain with Modern Athlete Strength Systems:OnesReady.comOperator Training Summit:OperatorTrainingSummit.comJoin the Ones Ready membership for early access, members-only episodes, and exclusive merch.Chapters:00:00 - Ones Ready Intro01:05 - Tasty Gains Nootropics and Creatine Gummies02:42 - Modern Athlete Strength Systems and AFSOC Prep04:03 - Ones Ready Membership and MBRS-Only Episodes05:21 - Welcome Back With Aaron, Trent, and Peaches05:30 - UFC 250, the White House, and Fat People07:28 - US Soccer, Paraguay, and World Cup Energy10:58 - Nitro Circus at the White House11:11 - UFC Weather Rumors and Fight Delays12:25 - Drunk UFC Weigh-Ins and Bit or Real?14:24 - Getting Fooled by Satire Online15:34 - Trent Threatens Aaron's Tattoos16:02 - Bungee Jumping Disaster and Vacation Risk18:21 - Show and Tell Goes Off the Rails20:00 - Faces of Death, LiveLeak, and Old Internet Trauma22:19 - Air Force A&S and Zulu Course Updates22:50 - The Reported 117-Pound Zulu Ruck24:20 - Why Exceeding the Standard Is Not the Standard26:39 - Weapon School Patch Night and Fighter Pilot Culture28:24 - What It Means to Be a Weapons Patch30:20 - American Pie and Fighter Pilot Roll Call Chaos33:10 - Institutional Drift in the Pipeline34:48 - Dry Weight, Helmets, and Student Gear35:10 - Zulu Is Training, Not Selection36:17 - Why 100-Pound Rucks Are Not Smart Training37:53 - When Heavy Rucks Might Make Sense39:11 - This Is Not a Normal Pipeline Standard41:19 - What Should Candidates Train For?42:27 - AFSPECWAR Wait Times and IFT Scores43:14 - Travis Pastrana and Red Bull Madness44:33 - What If You Jump Without a Parachute?46:39 - Dwayne Hackney's Air Force Cross Story48:24 - Vietnam-Era Pararescue Stories49:31 - Weapon School Graduation and Space Force PSD51:19 - Evaluated Events Need a Real Purpose52:07 - Buddy Breathing and Operational Relevance52:30 - OFT Ruck Standard vs. Zulu Course Ruck54:25 - Normalized Deviance and the Monkey Story57:29 - Training Wing, Please Fix This58:31 - Final Thoughts and Wrap-UpSupport the showJoin this channel to get access to perks: HEREBuzzsprout Subscription page:  HERERegister for our Operator Training Summit:  OperatorTrainingSummit.comFind an Air Force Recruiter: AirForce.comCollabs:Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code:  ONESREADY ATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code):  ATACLeteDanger Close Apparel - Promo Code:  ONESREADYDFND Apparel...

Scott Wheeler joins the show to break down why all signs continue pointing toward the Vancouver Canucks targeting Caleb Malhotra at third overall, what makes him such an appealing future leader, and why the debate between Malhotra and Ivar Stenberg comes down to projection versus pure talent. The guys also discuss the importance of stockpiling talent throughout the organization, whether the Canucks should consider drafting both Ruck twins, and why Aatu Räty's strong play at Worlds raises questions about how he was used last season. Plus, Dimitri Filipovic and Drance dive into major NHL team-building lessons from this year's playoffs, including why teams shouldn't overvalue size, overpay goalies, or rely on simply “sneaking into” the postseason and catching fire.

This offseason Detroit Red Wings podcast tackles the biggest puzzle Steve Yzerman has: Red Wings free agency targets, internal options, and bottom-six fixes. Hockeytown news and analysis covers a "Moneyball" approach to the lineup, two intriguing draft prospects, and where things stand with the Grand Rapids Griffins. (00:00) Intro  (04:15) Red Wings Offseason Strategy If the big swing doesn't land in a trade for someone like Robert Thomas or Jason Robertson, what's the play? Confidently projecting Nate Danielson, Carter Mazer, and MBN into bottom-six roles, why nobody should feel comfortable walking into camp, and the case for moving on from J.T. Compher or Michael Rasmussen if any team is desperate enough. (20:20) Free Agent Targets and Term Why Bobby McMann, Mason Marchment, Viktor Arvidsson, and even Anthony Mantha could be on the radar, plus the importance of paying dollars instead of years on aging UFAs. (32:10) Prospect Profiles: Ruck Twins Liam and Markus Ruck led the WHL in scoring as a duo in Medicine Hat. Could Detroit get cute and try to land both? (45:05) NHL & Stanley Cup Playoffs News Vegas advances (and loses a second-round pick for their trouble), Mitch Marner finally shows up, and Colorado looks terrifying heading into the Western Conference Finals. (52:55) Griffins Down 2-0 Michael Postava, Michael Brandsegg-Nygard, and a Chicago series that suddenly feels desperate after a blown lead in Game 2. (57:05) Overtime Mailbag Bill Guerin chasing Dylan Larkin rumors, Simon Edvinsson's next contract value, and a defenseman log jam that maybe isn't a log jam. --- This episode is brought to you by Hims.

Gould and Pike are joined by Daily Faceoff's Steven Ellis for a full breakdown of the upcoming 2026 NHL Draft and all the chaos surrounding it. The guys open the conversation reacting to the NHL announcing that the Vegas Golden Knights will forfeit a second-round pick in the 2026 NHL Draft following violations of the league's playoff media regulations, while head coach John Tortorella was also fined $100,000. From there the conversation shifts into the fallout from the NHL Draft Lottery, including the Toronto Maple Leafs somehow landing the first overall pick. The guys dive into the top prospects in the class, the unpredictability of the top five, standout defencemen, late first-round sleepers and the rising buzz around the Ruck twins in a loaded draft conversation with one of hockey's top prospect analysts.Video Link: https://youtu.be/gjppUvEvS7w#nhl #nhlshorts #nhlplayoffs #nhlpredictions #nhlhockey #nhlpicks #stanleycup #stanleycupfinal #calgaryflames CHECK OUT OUR STUFF ⬇️BARN BURNER MERCHhttps://nationgear.ca/collections/shirts/FlamesnationBARN BURNER SHORTS https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj_bcGtvvo-cW2DHEDZ6dEO5ePDmlhZc9&si=jo8iNGxT4ImhS2Y8

All-star IC double act Kevin Ruck and Martin Flegg return to the Internal Comms Podcast to provide a to-the-minute update on where they think internal communication is today. And it's not looking good for leaders. ‘Trust just isn't there anymore,' Martin tells Katie in an episode packed with insight. The authors of the newly published fifth edition of their book Exploring Internal Communication: Towards Dialogue in the Workplace share their thoughts on trust, the employer-employee relationship and the myth that line managers are worse communicators than senior leaders. The episode also explores how employees are becoming more willing to speak up, the role digital channels play in stifling creativity, organisations deploying leader avatars, the rise of ‘casualisation' and how to make content work. Listen in, share your thoughts, then join the conversation using #TheICPodcast.

Send us Fan MailTonight on Ruck's Place Podcast, we're diving into the power of faith, alignment, and letting go. So often we spend our lives chasing people, opportunities, and outcomes that were never designed for us—only to find ourselves exhausted, discouraged, and disconnected from our true purpose. In this episode, I talk about trusting God's timing, releasing control, and understanding that what is truly meant for you will find its way into your life. And what continues to miss you, leave you, or reject you may simply not be part of your journey. Stop forcing. Start flowing. Trust the process, trust the path, and trust that what's yours cannot miss you.

In this episode, I sit down with Terrence Ogden, founder of Official Project Grit — a man who transformed a life of addiction, jail time, and rock bottom into one of the most inspiring stories of resilience, grit, and faith you'll ever hear. We start with the Immortal 32 Ruck — a 75-mile road march from Gonzales, Texas to the Alamo, now in its seventh year, inspired by the 32 men who answered the call at the Alamo knowing it was a one-way ticket. But what makes Terrence's story so gripping is where he came from. Years as a severe heroin addict, cycling in and out of jail, until a mentor named Kenny Baker reached out a hand and changed everything. That spirit of one man helping another became the DNA of Project Grit. We also get into Terrence's most extraordinary feat: a solo, self-supported 1,046-mile ruck across the entire state of Texas — 40 days, no crew, with food caches buried in the desert weeks in advance. He shares what it taught him about faith, discipline, and a peace found not in the absence of chaos, but in the presence of God within it. We close with a powerful call to any man carrying something heavy in silence. Terrence's message is simple: we are tribal by nature, and you will never find your true purpose until you're willing to ask another man for help. Timeline Summary [0:00] Introduction to the Dad Edge mission and the movement to raise leaders of families and communities [1:01] Introducing Terrence Ogden — founder of Official Project Grit and one of the toughest non-veterans you'll ever meet [1:46] The Immortal 32 Ruck: a 75-mile road march from Gonzales to the Alamo held every year around Texas Independence Day [4:18] Terrence recaps the seventh annual event — 51 starters, 35 finishers, record-breaking heat in Texas [7:32] How Official Project Grit was born — and why it starts with Terrence's story of addiction and redemption [8:19] The mentor who changed everything: Kenny Baker, the man who pulled Terrence out of the gutter [10:32] The Soul Crusher: the defining moment at mile 40 that gave birth to Project Grit's true mission [13:25] Ad break — Roommates to Soulmates Cohort preview call [15:11] Rucking as an equalizer: how a knee injury transitioned Terrence from ultramarathons to rucking [20:28] The power of reaching out — Larry's personal story of texting a friend in a dark moment [23:06] Six years sober and on the edge: Terrence's most gripping near-relapse story and the friend who saved him [28:15] The battle cry — a message for any man who is lone-wolfing it right now [30:04] Discipline before confidence: Terrence's leadership philosophy and how he's raising his kids [32:49] The 1,046-mile Texas ruck: 40 days, solo, self-supported, food caches buried in the desert [39:10] Finding peace in the desert — and why peace isn't the absence of chaos but the presence of God [41:54] The spiritual parallels to 40 days in the desert — temptation, faith, and miraculous provision [48:07] What's next: the Gritty 50 event, a book, and an upcoming documentary [50:37] Final words for the man in the dark — why reaching out to a brother changes everything Five Key Takeaways You don't have to be born tough — grit is built through facing adversity head on, one hard decision at a time. Every man needs a "running buddy" — someone who will call you out, show up for you, and help you make the right decision when your own mind is working against you. Discipline comes before confidence. Motivation fades, but discipline gives you the structure and confidence to overcome whatever comes your way. We are tribal by nature. Lone-wolfing it is a trap — strength, purpose, and redemption are almost always found by letting another man in. Peace is not found in the absence of chaos — it's found in the presence of God within the chaos.

Terrence Ogden went from a heroin addict cycling in and out of jail to rucking 1,046 miles solo across the state of Texas — not because he was born tough, but because one man reached out a hand when he was at rock bottom. And Terrence paid that forward. Whether you're in a season of darkness right now, or you know someone who is — this episode is a reminder that the bravest thing a man can do is pick up the phone and say, "I need help." If this conversation moved you, share it with a man in your life who needs to hear it. Go out and live legendary.

In 2024, Jeffrey Allen applied to the first season of “Beast Games,” a reality competition show on Amazon Prime Video that was inspired by the Netflix series “Squid Game” and created by YouTuber MrBeast. Why did this California Dad want to be on a game show?  “Beast Games” offered the largest cash prize in history – and Allen wanted to make a difference in the search for a cure for his son Lucas' rare disease.   Lucas was diagnosed as a toddler with Creatine Transporter Deficiency, or CTD, a rare genetic mutation that blocks the transport of the natural source of energy from the brain and muscle.  Symptoms can include difficulty growing and gaining weight, slowed development of motor skills, intellectual disabilities, autistic behaviors and seizures, according to the National Organization for Rare Disorders. There are, estimated, just a few hundred CTD patients worldwide.   Known as Player 831, Jeffrey Allen won the first season of “Beast Games” and the massive $10 million prize. “It's all a miracle,” he says about the serendipitous achievement and the gift of parenting Lucas.    To follow “Ruck for Rare,” visit: https://creatineinfo.org/ruck4rare/   Join us in advancing awareness and understanding of rare diseases.

Send a textThis episode kills one of the biggest misconceptions in Air Force Special Warfare prep: the IFT is not a measure of fitness. Aaron breaks down why fitness and endurance are evaluated as core attributes in selection—and how physical preparedness underpins everything else: leadership, communication, teamwork, survivability, and credibility. From diesel engines vs Lambos to unknown time, unknown distance missions, this is a blunt explanation of why being “fit enough” isn't enough. Fitness isn't about looking good or checking a box—it's about being capable, violent when necessary, and reliable when lives depend on you.⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 Ones Ready intro and why fitness matters 01:40 The IFT explained—entry standard, not the goal 04:30 Attributes-based selection and raw materials 07:20 Endurance vs short-term performance 10:15 Two IFTs back-to-back and recovery reality 13:10 Fitness drives communication and leadership 16:30 Dive school, free fall, and pipeline demands 20:00 Diesel engine vs Lambo analogy 23:45 Job reality: unknown time, unknown distance 27:00 Credibility on teams and first impressions 30:30 Fitness, survivability, and lethality 33:00 Final charge: train for the job, not the test
