🎙 Episode #385 — Break It Down: War Stories, Truth, and the Fight to Heal

In this episode of Shut Up and GRIND, Robert B. Foster sits down with Pete A. Turner — former military counterintelligence operator and the executive producer/host of The Break It Down Show, a powerhouse podcast approaching its 10-year anniversary with over 2,000 episodes.

Pete has interviewed everyone from Nobel Prize winners to Olympic gold medalists, but what makes his work different is his ability to pull real truth from the shadows — especially in high-stakes conversations like the ongoing Ukraine-Russia conflict, where he brings forward voices and perspectives you won’t hear in mainstream headlines.

With 70+ months of service and over 1,000 combat patrols, Pete’s journey spans deployments and missions across Afghanistan, Iraq, Bosnia, Egypt, Germany, and beyond — and he brings that lived experience into every conversation with depth, humor, and precision.

But this episode isn’t just about geopolitics. It’s about purpose.

Pete opens up about service after service — including his charity work with Save the Brave, his personal battle with PTSD, and the heartbreaking loss of his brother Eric to suicide. Through initiatives like Ride for the Brave, Pete continues to turn pain into impact, traveling the country to raise funds, build brotherhood, and help veterans heal.

This is a conversation about truth, sacrifice, storytelling, and what it really means to keep going when life hits hard.
