Summary

Get ready to navigate land and sea with two unique personalities: Jeff Houser, a former Navy SEAL from the revered SEAL Team 6, and Steve Rubin, founder and president of the Waves Project. Jeff peels back the layers of his military career while Steve introduces us to an initiative offering purpose, direction, and a renewed passion for life to veterans through scuba diving certification.

0:00.0	Well, good morning, everybody. I hope you're starting your day with an amazing cup of coffee,
0:03.3	a cup of black rifle coffee, obviously. If you go to their website right now, blackwafflecoffee.com,
0:09.4	just scroll through the rotating banner, or I guess you could just sit there and let it scroll through
0:13.8	itself. But if you're not a member of the ECS, I would hop on it while you can. It is the Evan's
0:19.6	Coffee Subscription or the Executive Coffee Subscription, or it might be exclusive coffee subscription.
0:24.0	I'm not sure. But there's a plane getting ready to come out called Anoon, a Kai Gold. I think
0:32.0	that's how you say it. I've never tasted it before, but I love the bag. It appears to be a
0:35.5	Mayan wearing night vision goggles, which is amazing. But if that's not your thing, let it rotate
0:39.6	one. You can start your own subscription to get any bag of coffee, ground, the whole bean,
0:44.9	whatever you want, delivered wherever you want, or whatever interval you want. And then the last

1:09.7	it just doesn't even really matter what you're looking for. They have it. So I had to blackwifelcoffee.com,
1:14.2	support an amazing brand. And it also helps support me and this podcast. My guests today are Steve
1:22.0	Rubin and Jeff Howeser. Let's talk about Jeff for a sec. Jeff was in my very first seal platoon.
1:28.5	He was, I think two or three platoons deep at that point, but he was there my very first day walking
1:34.4	across the Seal Team 5 quarterback. And when I got assigned to Seal Team 5 Bravo platoon, he was
1:39.2	one of the senior personnel and truly had an impact on my career. We haven't seen each other in
1:45.0	forever. Hadn't talked to each other in forever, which wasn't intentional. It's just the way that
