In today's episode, Jordan sits down with Phil Campion, known to many as Big Phil Campion, a former UK Special Forces operator who passed selection into D Squadron. Phil opens up about a turbulent childhood spent in and out of children's homes, including abuse and relentless bullying, and explains how learning to control his own suffering as a boy shaped the calm he would later rely on under fire. He details the winding path that took him from a scholarship at a public school to the Royal Hampshire Regiment, and the blunt ultimatum from his commanding officer that finally pushed him towards Special Forces selection.

The conversation moves through the realities of selection itself, the humbling first months inside the regiment, and the ethos of self-discipline that Phil credits as the single lesson that has shaped his life the most. He recalls being wounded by shrapnel on an operation in Africa, a harrowing capture and imprisonment in a shipping container in Togo, and a tense standoff during a kidnapping incident in Afghanistan. Phil is candid about the difficult transition into civilian life after his time on the private military circuit, including a period of heavy drinking and financial recklessness following operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.

He also talks about rediscovering purpose through boxing, including organising charity fights between teams of SAS veterans and Navy SEALs, and reflects on the humility he believes defines genuine Special Forces operators. The episode closes with Phil's advice for young people who feel they have no clear path forward, drawn directly from his own journey through the care system and into one of the toughest selection courses in the world.

In today's episode, Jordan spends a day with DJ Shipley, the former Navy SEAL Team 6 operator, to break down the daily routines, discipline and mindset that separate the great from the good. Shipley opens up the machinery behind his mornings and evenings, from laying out his clothes the night before to the three minute get-ready sequence he calls closing out the chapter, and explains why one hit of the snooze button can throw an entire day off course.

The conversation moves from the granular to the philosophical. Shipley shares what he learned standing in the same rooms as elite performers, and why he is convinced that greatness is not genetics but unbroken repetition over decades. He talks about proximity to excellence, keeping yourself in student status, and the idea that discipline is simply magic that nobody wants to explain to you.

There is a deeply personal thread running through it all. Shipley speaks candidly about the regret he carries for the version of himself he used to bring home, the small reset he now performs in the driveway before walking through the door, and the thirty minute blocks with his children that he refuses to trade away. He reflects on returning from injury, rebuilding confidence, and being present enough that your absence is actually felt.

This is a masterclass in structure, consistency and control of the controllables, delivered by a man who has lived it at the highest level and now teaches it through his Be A Pro talks.

Shi Heng Yi explaining the meaning of the year of the Fire Horse is one of the most replayed moments from his full conversation on the podcast, a segment listeners keep returning to.

In this popular clip from the full interview, Shi Heng Yi explains why the year of the snake became a year of release for him, and why moving on from an old version of himself felt less like loss and more like possibility. He speaks candidly about leaving surroundings he had known for years, relocating from Germany where the temple is based, and reshaping his daily life around his wife and his son.

Shi Heng Yi reflects on how the identity he once held was shattered across many different layers, from the temple he built up to the masters he trained alongside, and how he chose acceptance over resistance. Drawing on the idea that something old must go in order for something new to arrive, he describes the difference between forcing change and allowing it to happen effortlessly, right in front of your eyes.

Looking ahead to the year of the fire horse, Shi Heng Yi shares a striking perspective on energy and authenticity. Fire can fuel you or it can burn you, and the deciding factor is whether you move through the year as your authentic self. He talks openly about no longer needing validation, no longer feeling the urge to prove anything to anyone, and what it truly means to know who you are and stand fully behind it.

Delta Force operator Tom Satterly explains the real difference between tier one special forces units in this most replayed moment, a segment viewers keep returning to from his full interview.

In this popular clip, the Delta Force operator breaks down how elite tier one units approach close quarters battle, the split-second choreography of clearing a room, and why the enemy never gets a chance to make a decision once the door comes off. He lays out the hierarchy of special operations, from SEAL Team 6 and Delta at the tier one level, through Rangers and Green Berets at tier two, down to the conventional forces, and explains why so few operators ever reach the top.

The conversation then turns inward. He describes a training culture with no schedule and no one telling you what to do, an organisation full of leaders driving themselves to be better every single day. He is honest about the cost of that mindset, the way you build yourself up physically whilst tearing yourself down mentally, and the reality of life after the unit, when the train you gave everything to keeps hauling down the tracks without you.

In today's episode, Jordan sits down with Derek Lunsford, two-time Mr. Olympia, three-time Olympia champion and Arnold Classic bodybuilding champion, fourteen weeks out from the 2026 Mr. Olympia. Fresh off a historic 2025 season in which he became the first ever triple crown winner, taking the Arnold Classic, the Pittsburgh Pro and the Mr. Olympia title in a single calendar year, Derek opens up on what it takes to chase a back-to-back Olympia title and cement himself as the most dominant bodybuilder in the world.

This conversation goes beyond the stage, as Derek reflects on being a 140-pound wrestler from a small Indiana coal-mining town who was told he was worthless and would never amount to anything, and how that pain became the fuel behind one of the most decorated careers in bodybuilding history. He speaks candidly about forgiveness, faith and the belief that carried him from labour jobs to the top of the sport.

Jordan and Derek explore the psychology of staying hungry at the summit, the mental switch between ego and humility, the discipline and commitment most people are never willing to give, and the art of sculpting a physique where balance and symmetry matter as much as size.
