  • Rudy Reyes on Marine Corps Culture, the Special Forces Jungle Season, and What Harsh Conditions Actually Fix

    Rudy Reyes on Marine Corps Culture, the Special Forces Jungle Season, and What Harsh Conditions Actually Fix
    2026/09/22
    Rudy Reyes is a Recon Marine who grew up in a boys' home, lost brothers to combat and suicide after service, and now leads military selection courses on Fox's Special Forces and the UK's SAS Who Dares Wins. Joe De Sena sits down with Rudy to break down what happened when Season 5 moved into the jungle: 100% humidity, 105-degree heat, cobras, scorpions, and contestants dropping within days. They dig into why Marine Corps culture produces a different kind of person, why harsh physical conditions change lives in ways therapy and motivation cannot, and how Rudy stayed relevant after combat by never stopping training. Rudy also shares his path to Heat 2, the upcoming film from director Michael Mann, and the boys' home discipline that made everything else possible. Things You Will Learn: Why Marine Corps culture builds a different standard than any other branch, and what that culture actually demands. The reason harsh physical conditions produce life change that motivation, therapy, and comfort cannot replicate. What a military selection show reveals about who actually quits and who surprises everyone by lasting. Tools & Frameworks Covered: Equal Load: Whether 110 pounds or 300, the weight is the same. Removing special treatment forces honest performance and reveals who has trained their mind, not just their body. Harsh Conditions as the Mechanism: The transformation people report after Spartan races and military selections is not from coaching or inspiration. It is from sustained physical discomfort that resets the nervous system and strips away excuses. Attack the Day Protocol: Get blood flowing immediately. Sing, pace, squeeze. Speak your day into existence before the world speaks it for you. Start physical before you start mental. Special Forces: World's Toughest Test premieres Thursday, Sept. 24 at 9/8c on FOX, next day on Hulu.

He is known worldwide from HBO's Generation Kill, the BAFTA-winning documentary Once Upon a Time in Iraq, and as a lead instructor on Fox's Special Forces and the UK's SAS Who Dares Wins alongside Billy Billingham and Jason Fox. Season 5, filmed in the jungle, premieres this fall. He has been cast in Heat 2, directed by Michael Mann. Rudy trains every day, everywhere he goes, and considers staying physically sharp a way to honor the brothers he has lost.

  • Billy Billingham on Growing Up in Gangs, Surviving SAS Selection, and Why Time Is All You Have

    Billy Billingham on Growing Up in Gangs, Surviving SAS Selection, and Why Time Is All You Have
    2026/10/06
    Billy Billingham joined a gang at nine years old. By eleven, he had a criminal record. At thirteen, he was expelled from school. At fifteen, he was stabbed and nearly died in a hospital bed. Two years later he walked into military recruitment and never looked back. Joe De Sena sits down with the former SAS operator, one of seven to pass selection out of 283 candidates, to talk about the moment a boxing instructor changed his life, the day he saw a Falklands War veteran with a bullet hole through his face and decided that was the man he wanted to become, and why 70 to 80% of what he does now is giving back to the kids and veterans who need what he needed at nine. Things You Will Learn: The mindset shift that took Billy Billingham from gang warfare and juvenile court to SAS selection, and why it started with one honest conversation with his father. Why looking around and feeling outmatched on day one is an advantage, not a warning sign. The one resource you cannot earn back and why wasting it is the only real failure. Tools & Frameworks Covered: Own It, Do Not Excuse It: Billy's father told him to be a thief before a liar. Owning the truth is the foundation of every correction that follows. Day One Hunger: On the first day of both basic training and SAS selection, Billy looked around and saw people who were bigger, stronger, and more experienced. He used that feeling to stay humble, stay hungry, and outlast 276 of them. Time Audit: Time is the only resource you cannot replace. Every hour on the couch is an hour you chose not to move forward. Progress does not require speed. It requires motion. Chapters: 0:00 Intro: Billy Billingham, SAS veteran and original Peaky Blinder 0:21 Gang member at nine, criminal record by eleven 2:15 Kids know right from wrong 5:06 Learning weapons, maps, and medical training at eleven 6:56 Joining the military at 17 8:26 Walking three miles to school with cardboard in his shoes 09:49 SAS selection: 283 started, 7 finished 13:15 What he would change 16:01 Joe offers Spartan events 19:00 Advice for anyone stuck on the couch Billy Billingham grew up in the West Midlands near Birmingham, England, the same streets that inspired Peaky Blinders. He joined a gang at 9, had a criminal record by 11, was expelled from school at 13, and was stabbed and nearly killed at 15. At 17, with no education past age thirteen, he enlisted in the British Army and joined the Parachute Regiment, one of seven to pass out of seventy who started. After nine years of airborne service and combat, he passed SAS selection, again one of seven, this time out of 283 candidates. He went on to serve in the Special Air Service across multiple operational tours. Now 61, Billingham is known internationally through the TV series Special Forces: World's Toughest Test and SAS: Who Dares Wins.

  • Robert Greene on Finding Your Purpose, The 48 Laws of Power, and Life After a Stroke

    Robert Greene on Finding Your Purpose, The 48 Laws of Power, and Life After a Stroke
    2026/10/13
    Robert Greene was 38, living in a one-bedroom apartment in Santa Monica after years of failed screenplays and dead-end jobs. Everyone around him seemed to be moving forward. He wasn't. Then a chance conversation in Venice, Italy, turned two decades of quiet observation into The 48 Laws of Power, a book that reshaped how a generation thinks about ambition, strategy, and human nature. Joe De Sena sits down with Robert to talk about building a life from nothing, twice. First as a writer who found his path late. Then again after a stroke in 2018 took much of his mobility but left his mind intact. That second rebuild became his newest book, The Law of the Sublime. They cover why years that feel wasted are often preparation in disguise, Sun Tzu's Death Ground principle, and the three-step process Robert prescribes for anyone who feels stuck or left behind: know yourself, experiment through action, and develop skills no machine can replicate. Things You Will Learn: Why being broke and behind at 38 wasn't the end for Robert Greene, and how twenty "wasted" years became the raw material for The 48 Laws of Power. The three-step process Robert uses to get unstuck, starting with a self-knowledge exercise most people skip entirely. Why Sun Tzu's Death Ground principle generates more energy and creativity than any supplement or shortcut. Tools & Frameworks Covered: Life's Task Discovery: Journal about what excited you as a child. Identify what makes you different from everyone around you. Use that as a compass, not someone else's expectations. Skill Stacking Through Experimentation: Don't think your way out of being stuck. Act. Try things connected to your life's task. Learn through doing. The brain is designed to develop through action, not theory. Death Ground (Sun Tzu/33 Strategies of War): When your back is against the wall and there is no safety net, your energy and creativity spike. Manufacture that urgency before life forces it on you. Chapters: 0:00 Intro: Robert Greene and Joe De Sena on strokes, struggle, and 9 million books 0:50 Four applications, four rejections, and the textile department that said yes 4:13 Robert Greene's stroke 12:23 Broke at 38 in a one-bedroom apartment 14:48 Why you have to get off the couch 17:15 The 48 Laws of Power 25:06 The man who fell off a mountain and spent 20 years chasing the feeling 29:00 Sun Tzu's Death Ground 31:33 Three things to do when you are stuck 35:19 The Law of the Sublime Robert Greene is the author of seven bestselling books, including The 48 Laws of Power, The 33 Strategies of War, Mastery, and The Laws of Human Nature, with over 9 million copies sold in the United States alone. He wrote his first book at 38 after years of failed screenplays, dead-end journalism, and a one-bedroom apartment in Santa Monica. A chance meeting in Venice, Italy, turned two decades of observation into one of the most influential nonfiction books of the last 30 years. In 2018, a wasp sting triggered a chain of events that led to a stroke, leaving him with limited mobility but full command of his ability to write and think. His eighth book, The Law of the Sublime, comes out of that experience, a book about what it actually means to be alive, written by a man who nearly lost the chance to find out.
