About Me - Louis Skupien

Hey! My name is Louis, and I’m the founder of Anvil Tactical Airsoft, the Talk4 Podcast, and Fightz On. I’ve also had an incredible journey as a former professional tennis player, and now, my passion has evolved to include a new chapter in personal training, aviation, and media production.

My love for innovation and entrepreneurship has remained a constant force, driving me to create projects that have a global reach. From developing a product that’s sold worldwide to building businesses and forging exciting new ventures, I’m always looking to break new ground. Let me take you on a journey through my story and the incredible projects I’m currently working on.

As an only child, I grew up immersed in a world of curiosity, always experimenting, mastering new skills, and pushing the boundaries of what I could achieve. At just four years old, I picked up a tennis racket and decided I wanted to become a professional athlete. That drive led me to withdraw from traditional schooling at 12, pursuing tennis full-time under the guidance of my parents. This was when I truly became an entrepreneur, taking the road less traveled and learning to excel independently.

I trained in elite academies, represented England, and achieved career highlights such as winning national championships, competing at Wimbledon, and traveling the world to play tennis. But the journey wasn’t without its challenges, and while some didn’t agree with my unconventional path, I knew it was the best decision for me. It taught me resilience and a mindset geared toward constant growth.


The Entrepreneurial Journey

While dedicating myself to tennis, I began exploring ways to fund my passion. From sneaker reselling to founding my first company, Anvil Tactical Airsoft, I quickly developed a business acumen that went hand in hand with my athletic mindset. Anvil Tactical became a trusted name in the Airsoft community, and I thrived on innovation, designing my own products and creating a reputation for cutting-edge solutions.

My entrepreneurial ventures grew alongside my interests. I later expanded into media, founding the Talk4 Podcast, which is now at over 124 episodes and counting. I’ve had the honour of interviewing world-class individuals like fighter pilots, Navy SEALs, authors, musicians, and many more. These conversations inspire me, and I love bringing their insights to an audience eager to learn from the best.

Taking Flight

Aviation has always been a huge passion of mine. Recently, I've had the incredible privilege of working with elite teams and fighter jets, including the F-22 Raptor Demo Team and the Patriots Jet Team. The opportunity to document these projects, film mini-documentaries, and even fly in formation with the Patriots has been beyond anything I could have imagined. I also had the honor of being invited to capture the Red Devils, tying in my love for high-energy projects that push the limits.

As a personal trainer, my goal is to help others achieve their best selves. I’m developing an AI-driven fitness app, bringing personalised training programs to everyone, with both budget-friendly and premium options. My vision is to create a space where cutting-edge technology meets fitness, offering clients tailored solutions that help them smash their goals. It’s an exciting new direction, and I’m committed to pushing the envelope in health and performance optimisation.


What’s Next?

I’m not one to slow down. With projects ranging from fitness to aviation, podcasting, and media production, I’m constantly looking to level up and inspire others to do the same. Whether it's through my Talk4 Podcast, my personal training work, or my latest ventures with aviation, I want to bring innovation, creativity, and an unstoppable work ethic to everything I do.

Thanks for joining me on this journey. I’m Louis Skupien, and I’m just getting started!
