In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton unpack the powerful meaning behind the quote: "Dig the well before the water runs dry." Learn the importance of being prepared (Amazon Affiliate) for all of life's unexpected events. As first responders, you train for the worst-case scenarios, always prepared to react at a moment's notice. But what about your own life? Too often, preparation for health, finances, relationships, and personal growth is put off until a crisis forces it into focus. This episode explores five practical ways you can start preparing for your future now—before you're forced to. We also reference Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s impactful words: "Healthy people have a million wishes, but a sick person only has one." Don't wait until the water runs dry—start digging your well today. 1. The Importance of Preparation Before Crisis Hits Understand why waiting until things fall apart—whether it's your health, finances, or emotional well-being—isn't an option for first responders. 2. Five Practical Ways to Prepare for Your Future Now: 1. Prioritize Your Health Before You're Forced To Example: It's easy to take your strength and endurance for granted—until an injury, illness, or stress-related condition takes you off the job. Why It Matters: Neglecting physical and mental health today could cost you your career, mobility, or even your life down the road. How to Prepare Now: Get regular checkups and listen to your body. Make sleep, diet, and exercise non-negotiable. Address mental health proactively—don't wait until you're breaking down. 2. Financially Prepare for the Day You Hang Up the Uniform Example: Many first responders live paycheck to paycheck, assuming their pension will be enough—until retirement arrives and they realize they're unprepared. Why It Matters: Unexpected expenses, medical emergencies, or job loss can derail even the most stable career. How to Prepare Now: Set up a second income stream—invest, start a side business, or develop a skill. Build an emergency fund for unexpected costs. Learn about retirement options and make sure you're investing early. 3. Strengthen Relationships Before You Need Them Example: Many first responders pour so much into work that family and friendships take a backseat—until they need support, and it's not there. Why It Matters: Isolation can be devastating when you're struggling with injury, job loss, or emotional burnout. How to Prepare Now: Prioritize date nights and family time—small efforts matter. Stay connected with old friends and mentors. Seek peer support and healthy friendships outside of work. 4. Mentally Prepare for Life After the Badge Example: Retirement or career changes can hit harder than expected, leading to identity crises or feelings of purposelessness. Why It Matters: Having a plan for what's next keeps you motivated and engaged in life. How to Prepare Now: Start thinking about what your purpose will be after law enforcement. Develop new skills and interests outside of work. Consider mentorship, coaching, or writing to pass on your experience. 5. Develop a Backup Plan for Every Major Area of Your Life Example: If something unexpected happens—injury, lawsuits, department changes, or economic downturns—will you be ready? Why It Matters: Those who prepare for uncertainty handle adversity better and recover faster. How to Prepare Now: Keep your resume updated and be ready to pivot. Stay educated on policy changes, pensions, and department shifts. Have an exit strategy—don't let the job define your entire future. 3. How Prepared Are You Right Now? Take a moment to reflect: If life threw you a curveball today, would you be ready? 4. The Difference Between Those Who Thrive and Those Who Struggle Learn why first responders who prepare ahead of time are the ones who handle life's biggest challenges with resilience and confidence. 5. Why the Best Time to Prepare is Today Discover small, actionable steps you can take right now to protect your future. Why This Matters: Waiting until your health fails, finances collapse, or relationships strain is too late. The best way to ensure stability and success in your future is to prepare for it today. Listen now to learn how to dig your well—before the water runs dry.

In this episode of the Modern Man Podcast, host Ted Phaeton speaks with Clifford Stephan, founder of Booze Vacation, about the impact of alcohol on men's health and performance. Clifford shares his journey with alcohol, the concept of a 'booze vacation', and the health benefits that come from taking a break from drinking. They discuss the competitive edge gained from sobriety, the root causes of alcohol dependency, and how to navigate social and business situations without alcohol. The conversation emphasizes taking responsibility for one's health and making intentional lifestyle changes. In this conversation, Clifford Stephan discusses the profound impact of alcohol on health, emphasizing the importance of self-awareness and education regarding alcohol consumption. He introduces the concept of 'Booze Vacation,' a transformative approach to reducing alcohol intake and improving overall well-being. The discussion highlights the necessity of setting boundaries, advocating for oneself, and the positive changes that can occur after taking a break from alcohol. The conversation concludes with reflections on kindness and the fragility of life, encouraging listeners to be mindful of their choices and the effects of alcohol on their health. Takeaways Clifford's journey with alcohol began in high school and continued into adulthood. The concept of a 'booze vacation' allows for a break from drinking without the pressure of permanent sobriety. Taking a break from alcohol can lead to significant health improvements and better performance. Alcohol can negatively impact sleep quality, hormone regulation, and overall health. Men often ignore health issues until they become serious, similar to ignoring a check engine light. A longer break from alcohol allows for more substantial health gains and personal development. Sobriety can provide a competitive edge in both personal and professional life. Many men have nostalgic ties to drinking, making it difficult to change habits. It's essential to take responsibility for one's health and not blame external factors. Navigating social situations without alcohol is possible and can be reframed as a positive experience. Regular drinking can lead to pre-disease symptoms. Self-advocacy is crucial for maintaining health. Setting boundaries can inspire others to make healthy choices. Taking a break from alcohol can lead to significant health improvements. Knowledge about alcohol's effects empowers better decision-making. Life after a booze vacation can be refreshing and enlightening. It's important to connect the dots between alcohol and health issues. Being kind to oneself and others is essential in life's journey. Alcohol can tax many bodily systems, leading to long-term health issues. Making lifestyle changes can eliminate the need for medications.

Description: In this introspective episode, we delve into the profound question posed by one of my students: "Who am I without my instrument?" Join me as we explore the nuances of identity, self-worth, and the personal journey beyond the confines of our professions. Through personal anecdotes and reflections, I share insights on separating our self-esteem from our professional achievements, the joys and challenges of musicianship, and the importance of personal growth over legacy. This episode is not just for musicians but for anyone who has ever felt defined by their work. Remember, you are more than what you do. Key Points Discussed: Identity and Music: How I differentiate between being a musician and being a person. Self-Esteem: The impact of professional setbacks on personal identity and why it's crucial to base self-worth on who we are, not what we do. Personal Stories: Remembering Maurice Murphy for his personality rather than his trumpet playing; my father's influence on my understanding of identity. Life After the Vienna Philharmonic: My decision to leave to discover my true self, the initial failure, and the eventual personal success. Professional vs. Personal Identity: The dangers of defining oneself by an institution or job title. The Joy of Music: How playing the trombone serves as my therapy, voice, and joy, yet isn't the entirety of my identity. On Not Leaving a Legacy: My philosophy on living in the present moment and moving forward without a focus on posterity. Highlights: "When I think back to those no longer with us, I remember who they were, not what they did." "Our self-esteem should be based on our growth as individuals, not on our professional roles." "I left the Vienna Philharmonic to find out who I was, without the orchestra's name attached to mine." Keywords for Search: Identity, musician, self-esteem, Vienna Philharmonic, personal growth, music therapy, professional identity, self-discovery, trombone, legacy, Maurice Murphy, career failure.

In This Episode You Will Hear: • I don't think I could beat Marcus at arm wrestling if I can't pick up a bowling ball. (1:58) • You do realize there's a thing called old man strength? (5:53) • [Rob O'Neil] I have a podcast as well, called “The Operator.” We're called The Operator because if you're doing anything, you're an operator. (6:18) • Having a big man to kick your ass and teach you wind a bobbin; you realize there is skill here. (9:59) • When people quit BUDS, it's not because “this is hard”. [It's because] I'm tired of the broken foot; I'm tire of the shin splints; I'm tire of my dislocated shoulder; I'm tired. 21:20) • In BUDS, one of the biggest problems is eating too much. Like I want 5 cheeseburgers, but we have a 4-mile run afterwards. (26:35) • [Rob] and for everyone that doesn't know, can you explain what a SDV is? [Marcus] Imagine a mini submarine and shrink it down. The difference is that a submarine is dry inside, and the SDV is completely full of water. (37:40) • Listen to Marcus discuss the details of being in an SDV for 8 hours. (38:52) • [Marcus] Talk about ultimate torture - If you have a deep freeze in your garage, fill that sucker full of water, crawl in there and sit down for 8 hours. (38:53) • The first time I got in there, I was terrified. (43:49) • [Marcus] There's stuff that happens to us out there. Sometimes safety gets in the way of it. (58:40) • [After falling down the mountain during Operation Red Wings] I could hear that stream running. I've got to get me water, but I kept thinking I can't drink out of it, because my buddies are in it. (79:27) • If you want to make God laugh, tell Him what your plan is. (90:24) • [Marcus] Bro, when you saw that son of a bitch's face [Osama Bin Laden], what was the first thing you saw? [Rob O'Neal] I saw his nose. He was skinny, wearing white – tall. (93:41) • My nickname was “Nisro” (Navy SEAL Rob O'Neal). When they asked “Who got him?” They go “Nisro,” and they said “Fuck! Were never gonna hear the end of it.” (95:38) Socials: - IG: mchooyah - Host of The Operator Podcast - IG: team_neverquit , marcusluttrell , melanieluttrell , huntero13 - https://www.patreon.com/teamneverquit Sponsors: - Navyfederal.org - GoodRX.com/TNQ - kalshi.com/TNQ - PXG.com/TNQ - joinbilt.com/TNQ - Tonal.com [TNQ] - greenlight.com/TNQ - PDSDebt.com/TNQ - drinkAG1.com/TNQ - ghostbed.com/TNQ [TNQ] - Shadyrays.com [TNQ] - qualialife.com/TNQ [TNQ] - Hims.com/TNQ - Shopify.com/TNQ - Aura.com/TNQ - Moink.com/TNQ - Policygenius.com - TAKELEAN.com [TNQ] - usejoymode.com [TNQ] - Shhtape.com [TNQ] - mackweldon.com/utm_source=streaming&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=podcastlaunch&utm_content=TNQutm_term=TNQ
