  • Fact Based Strategies

    I listen to a ton of content. I must say that this show is the best content for taking my emotional, psychological, and physical performance at a much higher level. I’m 49 YO so this is important to me the older I get. Thank you BTE!

  • All signal - no noise.

    Seldom does a show do what they advertise. This one does. The advice featured here works, is communicated clearly and without all the fuss, giggle and internal chatter virtually all other podcasts are filled with.

    Well done, Gentlemen!

  • Not just for SOF

    This podcast is phenomenal for anyone who does hard things. I get a ton of value from it for my own personal development and fitness, the conventional military unit I lead, the kids I’m raising, and the youth sports teams I coach. Everything BTE does is top-notch.

Nick Caldwell: The Mill Gym - Preparing the Next Generation of Special Operators
