Long Bio (Press Ready)

Louis Skupien is a British aviation filmmaker, entrepreneur, and host of the award-winning Full Throttle Podcast, recognised for delivering high-impact conversations with elite performers across military, aerospace, and leadership domains.

A former professional tennis player, Louis has redefined his career at the intersection of storytelling and extreme experience. He is one of the first British civilians to break the sound barrier in a U.S. Air Force F-16 Viper—while on the controls—reaching speeds of Mach 1.6 at 50,000 feet. He has also pulled 9G, executed low-level tactical manoeuvres, and embedded with some of the most elite aviation units in the world, including the F-22 Raptor Demo Team and U.S. Air Force test operations at Edwards Air Force Base.

Louis is also among a select group globally to train and fly the Gravity Jet Suit, documenting the cutting edge of human flight. His work now forms part of his flagship cinematic series, Full Throttle, which captures rare, behind-the-scenes access to extreme aviation and military hardware.

Alongside his media work, Louis is the CEO of Synergy Gym and the author of 150 Secrets to Greatness, distilling lessons from world-class performers. His mission is simple: to document excellence at the highest level and inspire others to pursue it relentlessly.

Positioning Statement

Louis Skupien is part of a new generation of creators redefining access—bridging elite military environments, extreme aviation, and cinematic storytelling to bring audiences closer than ever before to the world's most high-performance individuals and machines.
