Truth Serum with Tyler Minton

If you’ve ever flinched, punched a trigger, or felt your brain hijack your shot, this episode is for you.

Joel Turner is the founder of SHOT IQ, a firearms and archery training system built entirely around one thing: the mental game. A former SWAT sniper and instructor, Joel has spent decades teaching shooters how to control their shot under pressure. Not with gimmicks. With a system.

In this episode of Truth Serum, Joel breaks down target panic, subconscious movement, trigger control, and what it takes to shoot with precision when it counts. We dig into the psychology of panic, the science of focus, and why most people don’t really understand how to train their shot process.

Whether you’re a bowhunter, rifleman, or just someone who wants to perform when it matters, this conversation will change how you think about control.

Cole Kramer is one of the most respected and sought-after hunting guides on the planet. He’s spent decades leading some of the most extreme backcountry hunts you can imagine, grueling multi-week expeditions across Kodiak Island, the Arctic tundra, and beyond. But what sets Cole apart isn’t just his experience, it’s how he prepares for the unknown.

In this episode, we sat down with Cole to talk about how he trains, eats, and stays mentally sharp for hunts that push the limits of human endurance. We also dug into one of the most powerful stories he’s been a part of: guiding double leg amputee Jonathon Blank on a once-in-a-lifetime mountain hunt, a story captured in the Sitka film Never Broken. Cole walked us through the physical and emotional prep behind that hunt, what it took to get Jonathon ready, and what it taught him about resilience, grit, and what’s possible when you refuse to quit.

We covered everything from backcountry nutrition and mindset to the realities of leadership when lives are on the line. Whether you’re a hunter, athlete, or someone who just values living with intention, there’s something in this episode for you.

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.

What separates a coach from a true leader? In this eye-opening episode of Truth Serum, I sit down with Tex McQuilkin—performance expert and host of the Captains & Coaches podcast—to break down what today’s athletes actually need.

🧠 The mindset shift athletes actually need

⏱️ How much time you really need to train each week (hint: it’s not what you think)

🎯 Building standards, culture, and trust in a world that avoids both

This one’s a coaching clinic—brutally honest, deeply practical, and grounded in experience.
