Trent Seegmiller is a founding member of Ones Ready and a former Air Force Special Recon who’s been on the front lines in combat and in shaping the next generation of special operators.
In this episode we talk about what it really takes to make it through selection, why most people fail before they even begin, and the mindset shift required to survive and thrive in special warfare. Trent doesn’t sugarcoat it. If you’re soft, you’re out. If you’re serious, you’ll want to take notes.
We also get into the creation of Ones Ready, their mission to mentor future operators, and why there’s zero room for excuses in a career where lives are on the line.
Earn everything. Quit nothing.

Trevor Thompson didn’t become a Navy SEAL for the resume, he did it to honor the legacy of his family that came before him.
In this episode of Truth Serum with Tyler Minton, Trevor breaks down what drove him to the Teams, how jumping off cliffs in a wingsuit became therapy, and why fitness is the new battlefield for modern men.
We dive into HYROX, the evolution of CrossFit, chasing adrenaline without losing your mind, and what it actually takes to stay dangerous when there’s no mission forcing you to.
