• Ep 537: The Pararescue Legend "Yo-Yo" Keaton Drops Brutal Truths About Military Standards & Leadership

  Send us a textRetired Chief PJ Yo-Yo Keaton shows up and immediately proves why half the community worships him and the other half is still trying to keep up. Peaches and Trent drag him through a career of combat rescues, dumb mistakes that almost killed him, leadership hot takes, and the kind of honesty that would vaporize a modern CBT. Yo-Yo breaks down why standards matter, why mediocrity is a disease, and why today’s Airmen desperately need a reality check. He also casually admits to running ultras fueled by Taco Bell and pocket pizza. This episode punches you in the throat and then tells you to hydrate. If you're looking for motivation, buckle up — Yo-Yo’s here to ruin your excuses.⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 Yo-Yo enters, chaos immediately follows 04:20 Vegas OTS and why your hips are trash 07:55 From Security Forces purgatory to PJ legend 14:40 K2, hypoxia, Taliban, and bad aircraft karma 19:20 Instructor era: smoking dudes and saving futures 25:40 Ultras, delusion, and pocket pizza nutrition 31:10 Teamwork, humility, and leadership people hate hearing 38:00 Standards, reality checks, and the modern military spiral 50:30 Fixing the force one problem at a time 58:20 Brotherhood, loss, and why it still matters 1:14:00 The Yo-Yo solution: communicate, empower, stop being soft🎯 Call-to-Actions: Like the episode Subscribe and hit the bell Drop a comment with your hottest leadership take Leave a review to help the show grow Join the Ones Ready Membership Grab merch at onesready.comSupport the showJoin this channel to get access to perks: HEREBuzzsprout Subscription page: HERE Register for our Operator Training Summit: OperatorTrainingSummit.comCollabs:Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code: ONESREADY ATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code): ATACLeteDanger Close Apparel - Promo Code: ONESREADYDFND Apparel - Promo Code: ONESREADYHoist - Promo Code: ONESREADY...

• Ep 536: USAF In Manda Bay—Security Forces Officer Calls Out Leadership Failures

  Send us a textPeaches and Trent drag the Air Force’s favorite fantasy into the daylight: the idea that “nothing ever happens in Africa.” Major Mike Voto shows up and calmly dismantles a decade of complacency, bureaucratic daydreaming, and leadership cosplay that left defenders untrained, undermanned, and standing on a Kenyan airfield praying the cavalry might arrive sometime today-ish. He drops truth bombs about zero-prep deployments, wet-behind-the-ears defenders thrown into real combat, and the surreal aftermath where the wrong people got medals and the right people got silence. If you think you know what happened at Manda Bay, buckle up—Peaches isn’t here to stroke egos, he’s here to wake you up. If this episode makes you uncomfortable, good. It should.⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 – The “ambushes don’t matter” delusion 04:45 – The Operator Training Summit shout-out 06:20 – How Voto landed in the nightmare 12:40 – “Pre-deployment training?
