Truth Serum with Tyler Minton

Aaron Love is a retired Air Force Pararescueman, co-owner of the Ones Ready podcast, and one of the most unfiltered voices in the veteran space. He went through PJ selection four times before earning the beret, and he hasn't stopped paying attention since he got out. In this episode we get into the Iran rescue of the downed F-15 pilot, the Maduro raid and the weapons used on the ground that the public is just now hearing about, including a portable sonic weapon and a CIA tool called Ghost Murmur that can isolate a human heartbeat from hundreds of miles away. Aaron also breaks down why he thinks the Iran campaign makes more sense than most people realize, what Ones Ready is doing to prepare the next generation for the pipeline, and why staying physically capable after service isn't optional. No filter. No party line. Just a guy who's seen it from the inside.   Follow Aaron & One's Ready https://www.instagram.com/aaron_loves_america/?locale=fr&hl=en   https://www.instagram.com/onesready/?locale=fr&hl=en   ✅ Fuel Your Performance – Protekt Products Electrolytes that actually work.

Last December, Stuart Locke, the coach and mind behind Kodiak Barbell, nearly didn't come home. An allergic reaction to anesthetic left him fighting for his life, and his wife facing decisions no spouse should ever have to make. He made it through. And he believes he knows exactly why. In this episode of Truth Serum Podcast, Stuart opens up about the experience that tested everything: his body, his identity, and his faith. We get into how it has reshaped the way he thinks about coaching, strength, and what it means to truly show up for the people in your corner. We also go deep on what makes Kodiak Barbell different. Stuart's coaching philosophy, how he builds athletes who are mentally and physically tough, his approach to powerlifting programming, and the culture he has built around the barbell. If you train, compete, or coach, or if you have ever faced something that made you question what you are really made of, this one is for you. In this episode:   Stuart's near-death experience and the role his Christian faith played in his survival The Kodiak Barbell philosophy and what it demands of athletes How Stuart programs for strength and powerlifting performance Coaching identity and what it means to develop athletes, not just build numbers.   Follow Stuart & Kodiak Barbell https://www.instagram.com/stu_kodiakbarbell/?hl=en   ✅ Fuel Your Performance – Protekt Products Electrolytes that actually work.

Gavin Corbe is a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu athlete and the owner of BlackBox Jiu Jitsu in Virginia Beach.   In this episode, Gavin breaks down his approach to jiu jitsu and why he believes most people are training the wrong way.   Instead of relying on traditional drilling, Gavin teaches through games. A method designed to build athletes who can think, adapt, and perform under pressure.   We also get into the foundation behind BlackBox, why he calls it a club instead of an academy, and how building it alongside his brother has shaped the culture and system.   Gavin shares his background in high school wrestling, including the reality of cutting weight and how those experiences influenced the way he trains and coaches today.   We cover: Why Gavin teaches through games instead of drills The philosophy behind BlackBox as a club His wrestling background and weight cutting stories How he builds athletes that last in the sport What separates people who improve from those who quit   This is a conversation about doing jiu jitsu differently and building something that holds up over time.   ✅ Fuel Your Performance – Protekt Products Electrolytes that actually work.

On this episode of Truth Serum, I sit down with Scott Benson, founder of Benson Sports Training and one of the most respected performance coaches in the country.    Scott also hosts the Building the Athlete Podcast.   Scott’s journey in sport started long before he became a coach. He is the South Dakota high jump record holder and one of the most accomplished track and field athletes the state has ever produced. His impact in Rapid City is so significant that he became the first person ever inducted into the Rapid City Sports Hall of Fame twice. Once as an athlete and once as a coach.   Today, Scott runs one of the most impressive private training facilities in the country. At times his gym is working with up to 600 athletes, supported by a large team of coaches, training athletes from seven years old all the way into their seventies.   In this conversation we talk about the truth behind kids lifting weights and why strength training, when coached properly, can be one of the best tools for developing young athletes.   Scott and I also dive into the reality of youth sports today. Many young athletes are operating on packed schedules filled with travel teams, year round competition, and constant pressure to specialize early. Scott shares why this approach can backfire and why balance, smart training, and longevity need to be part of the conversation.   We also talk about something that often gets overlooked in performance training. The relationship between coach and athlete. Scott believes connecting with athletes and understanding them as people is just as important as the training itself.   If you are a parent, coach, or athlete trying to navigate the modern youth sports world, this episode offers a powerful perspective on building strong athletes for the long run.   ✅ Fuel Your Performance – Protekt Products Electrolytes that actually work.

In this episode, I sit down with Chipper Anderson, Head Strength Coach at Virginia High Performance, a facility trusted to prepare Navy SEALs and elite special operators for the demands of real world performance. Despite being one of the younger coaches in the field, Chipper holds a position many strength professionals spend decades chasing. Chipper breaks down how he earned trust inside one of the most demanding performance environments in the country, his philosophy on building durable, mission ready athletes, and what separates tactical performance from traditional strength training. From physical resilience and injury prevention to leadership, pressure, and responsibility at a young age, this conversation reveals what it takes to perform when the stakes are real. If you want insight into elite performance, tactical strength, and the mindset behind coaching at the highest level, this episode delivers. ✅ Fuel Your Performance – Protekt Products Electrolytes that actually work.

In this episode of Truth Serum, I sit down with Rob Wilson, a human performance specialist and the mind behind Check Engine Light.   We break down why performance rarely falls off all at once and how most high performers miss the warning signs long before things go sideways. Sleep disruption, mood changes, lingering fatigue, pain. These aren’t random. They’re signals.   We talk about treating the body like a performance system instead of something you can just push harder forever. Why burnout is usually a failure of awareness, not effort. And how staying sharp is less about motivation and more about paying attention to what’s already happening.   This episode is for anyone who takes performance seriously and wants to extend their runway instead of learning the hard way.   Learn more about Check Engine Light https://www.instagram.com/thecheckenginelight/?hl=en https://www.wilsonhealthandperformance.com/check-engine-light   ✅ Fuel Your Performance – Protekt Products Electrolytes that actually work.

Greg “Vick” Navickas leads human performance for U.S. Air Force Special Warfare training and is the founder of Echotyr, a platform built to connect operators and high performers with elite training, performance, and support resources.   In this episode, we break down how modern warfighters are trained more like tactical athletes, why sleep is the true foundation of performance, how brain health and traumatic brain injury are changing readiness, and why future conflict demands a different level of human resilience.   Vick shares how military performance systems translate to business, sport, and leadership, along with how Echotyr is helping bridge the gap between elite operational knowledge and real-world application.   Echotyr Website https://echotyr.com/ ✅ Fuel Your Performance – Protekt Products Electrolytes that actually work.

In this episode of Truth Serum, I sit down with Steve Petre, the Executive Performance Chef for the UFC, to break down what really goes on behind the scenes to keep fighters fueled and able to make weight at the highest level.   Steve shares how fighters are supported through training camp, weight cuts, and fight week, including the attention to detail required to fuel performance without missing the scale. They talk about traveling to different countries for UFC events, how food is sourced and prepared in foreign locations, and the challenges of maintaining consistency while cooking across cultures and environments.   Steve also walks through how he got started with the UFC, what led him into one of the most demanding roles in professional sports, and the lessons learned along the way. To close it out, he offers practical advice for people who are new to cooking and want to build confidence in the kitchen.   This episode pulls back the curtain on elite preparation, global travel, and the standards required to perform at the highest level.   ✅ Fuel Your Performance – Protekt Products Electrolytes that actually work.

On this episode of Truth Serum, I sit down with Ray Thompson, one of the most accomplished karate coaches in the United States and the man who laid the foundation for Stephen 'Wonderboy' Thompson.   We talk about Ray’s early years and the origins of when he was fighting himself. His childhood, how he was raised, and how those experiences shaped his mindset around discipline, respect, and work ethic. Ray shares what it was like growing up in a tougher era, why those lessons still matter today, and how they influenced the way he raised his own children.   We also get into parenting. What Ray believes parents today are getting wrong, why kids need more structure and accountability, and how raising tougher, more resilient children starts with consistency, standards, and leading by example.   This conversation is about legacy, responsibility, and raising strong people in a world that has gotten a little too comfortable.   ✅ Fuel Your Performance – Protekt Products Electrolytes that actually work.

Chris Camacho is the strength coach behind legends like Daniel Cormier and Gennady Golovkin.   In this episode, I sit down with Chris to talk through past fight camps, the realities of preparing athletes at the highest level, and why great coaches must always put their athletes first even when pressure, money, and expectations are high.   Chris also opens up about the motorcycle crashes that nearly ended both his and his brother’s careers, and how those experiences reshaped his perspective on training, risk, and longevity.   This is an honest look at championship preparation, coaching integrity, and the lessons that only come from surviving the hardest moments in sport.   ✅ Fuel Your Performance – Protekt Products Electrolytes that actually work.

Vote for Charles for Trainer of the year at The World MMA Awards! https://www.worldmmaawards.com/votenow/   When people think about the UFC, they picture the walkouts, the knockouts, the highlight reels. But long before fighters step into the Octagon, there’s another fight happening, one with the scale, with food, with the limits of the human body.   I sat down with Charles Stull, Director of Performance Nutrition at the UFC Performance Institute, to talk about that hidden battle. Charles has shaped how some of the greatest fighters in the world approach weight cutting, recovery, and performance. He’s not just a dietitian — he’s someone who’s helped redefine what it means to fuel athletes in one of the most demanding sports on earth.   In this conversation, we break down the science, the strategy, and the reality of nutrition in combat sports. We talk about what’s working, what’s broken, and what it really takes to push the limits of human performance inside the UFC.   For me, this was more than just an interview. It was a chance to sit across from someone who has seen behind the curtain, and who is changing the way fighters prepare for the fight before the fight.   ✅ Fuel Your Performance – Protekt Products Electrolytes that actually work.

Cole Kramer is one of the most respected and sought-after hunting guides on the planet. He’s spent decades leading some of the most extreme backcountry hunts you can imagine, grueling multi-week expeditions across Kodiak Island, the Arctic tundra, and beyond. But what sets Cole apart isn’t just his experience, it’s how he prepares for the unknown.   In this episode, we sat down with Cole to talk about how he trains, eats, and stays mentally sharp for hunts that push the limits of human endurance. We also dug into one of the most powerful stories he’s been a part of: guiding double leg amputee Jonathon Blank on a once-in-a-lifetime mountain hunt, a story captured in the Sitka film Never Broken. Cole walked us through the physical and emotional prep behind that hunt, what it took to get Jonathon ready, and what it taught him about resilience, grit, and what’s possible when you refuse to quit.   We covered everything from backcountry nutrition and mindset to the realities of leadership when lives are on the line. Whether you’re a hunter, athlete, or someone who just values living with intention, there’s something in this episode for you.   ✅ Fuel Your Performance – Protekt Products Electrolytes that actually work.

In the Truth Serum Podcast Debut, I am talking with Mark Healey.   Mark is a Co-Founder of Protekt Products, A Big Game Bowhunter, Hollywood Stuntman and one of the Biggest Names in Big Wave Surfing.   Mark was born on the Hawaiian Island of O‘ahu, and I learn a lot about what it means to be from Hawaii and how the community rallied together to bring Maui back to to its feet after the devastating fires in 2023.   Enjoy!   Thank you to our sponsors   Protekt Products  http://protekt.com/truth   Tuft & Needle   (Use Code Truth_Serum15 ) for 15% off https://tuftandneedle.attfm2.net/Qj6j26   Half Face Blades  https://www.halffaceblades.com/   Sorinex   https://www.sorinex.com/   Mark Healey Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/healeywaterops/?hl=en Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@UCoVgwQND_LFjJNvkP3SFbGQ    Follow Truth Serum Podcast *Instagram* : https://www.instagram.com/tylermintonnutrition/?hl=en *Instagram* : https://www.instagram.com/truthserumpodcast_/  *TikTok* : @TruthSerumPod  *Website* : https://ethosnutritioncoaching.com/  *Truth Serum Newsletter* : https://ethosnutritioncoaching.com/truth-serum-weekly-newsletter/
