Welcome back to the Blk & Blu podcast! This week, Kyle is joined by actor, producer, and host of the Real Fake Seal podcast, AJ Buckley.

To kick things off, AJ and Kyle discuss the difficulties of planning a shoot day, why working while traveling is efficient, and how hard is it to effectively multitask. For those that struggle with focusing, maybe pickup boxing...or CQB.

Next up, the guys talk all things shooting. Between training, dry-firing, and learning how to use a red dot, AJ had his work cut out for him. They discuss the parallels between playing an operator, and being one, whether it's getting hurt in action or preparing for the day ahead.

To wrap, AJ and Kyle discuss veteran support foundations, why advocacy is important, and how the VA system is flawed. They share resources for those seeking help, and AJ reflects on his time post- SEAL Team being in America. Let's get into it.
