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.

Blk & Blu is back with an all new episode, featuring Trevor Millar from Ambio Life Sciences!

Next, they unpack In Waves and War, a new documentary showcasing three Navy SEALs and their recovery through ibogaine treatment. Trevor and Kyle share their experiences with it, how it helps, and how it changed Kyle's life.

Before the episode kicks off, the three share their collaborative effort with Frontline Healing Foundation, and the new Hope campaign.

Next up, they dive into the founding of Warriors Heart, detailing what sets it apart from other rehabilitation programs, what alcohol does for some people, and how helping others is their greatest passion.

To wrap, Kyle, Tom, and Josh share their thoughts on building community, being vulnerable with one another, and how it opens the door to true healing. Let's get into it.

Anyways, Kyle and KingPixMedia discuss Combat Solutions Group Industries, the TEAC,H method, and how one of them is copying the other. You decide who.

The Blk & Blu Podcast is back, and so is a fan favorite! Chris Fettes joined us again on the show to drop more wisdom, faith, and general goodness.

After reaching inner peace, the guys kicked things off by discussing drama, projecting, and venting. From there, it's all gratitude, breathwork, and how they spend their downtime. Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Chris isn't big into the whole fantasy football thing.

Next up, Kyle does a deep dive on the three enemies, Chris gives his perspective on the evolution of Blu Bearing, and they discuss how telling the truth (even when it's inconvenient) might just be the thing that saves us all.

To wrap, the guys talk art (shoutout Megan Valentine), toss some zyns, and nerd out over watches. Let's get into it.

Welcome back to the Blk & Blu Podcast! This week, the guys are joined by none other than Chris Fettes, founder of Be Free Craft Cafe and proud graduate of ice cream school (yes, that's a thing).

In this very special episode, the crew kicks things off with an unsolicited ASMR review of Be Free Craft Cafe's pastries and ice cream...because everyone loves a sweet treat. Chris and Kyle discuss the nostalgia behind ice cream, while Blake tries his best not to go into a sugar coma. They also share the origin story of their friendship, and how it's clearly fate that these two met.

The guys talk about their walk in faith, what it's like to share their testimonies to the world, and how to build a business from scratch. If there's anything you can take away from this episode, it's show up for your friends and trust the process. Let's get ready to crumble.
