In this solo episode, Trent dives deep into personal fears, the realities of the military, and what it truly means to earn everything you’ve got. From overcoming a fear of heights to jumping out of planes and taking on the toughest challenges, he reflects on his journey through Special Warfare and how it shaped him. Trent breaks down the misconceptions of what it’s like to serve, addressing comments like "must be nice" and why nothing in life is truly free—it’s all earned.

He also tackles the importance of chasing fears, building gratitude for the privileges we often take for granted, and how these experiences make the sweetest victories even more rewarding. Whether you’re a candidate thinking you’re not the "right fit" for Special Warfare or someone just looking to conquer life’s biggest challenges, this episode is packed with insights to push you forward.
