Ep 544: Why Trainable Beats Talented Every Time

Send us Fan Mail

Peaches is joined by Kris Tomes for a deep dive into what actually makes candidates successful at selection—and why trainability beats talent every time. Fresh off the Las Vegas Operator Training Summit, they break down what they’re seeing over and over: guys showing up with ego, bad habits, and internet knowledge instead of solid fundamentals. From water confidence and underwaters to running mechanics, mobility, rucking, and stress management, this episode explains why OTS isn’t about getting smoked—it’s about building real capability. If you want honest feedback, better prep, and fewer surprises in the pipeline, this is the roadmap.
