Paul Watson, retired Special Forces Warrant Officer with over 20 years in the 10th and 19th Groups, reveals the battle no one prepares you for: life after the uniform. He shares how “comfort” quietly became his biggest enemy, how it almost cost him his marriage and purpose, and the gritty steps he took to fight back.

We cover:

* Why comfort can be more dangerous than chaos

* How Paul pulled himself out of years of complacency

* The role of community, purpose, and service in mental fitness

* What true leadership and resilience look like—on and off the battlefield

This episode is a wake-up call for anyone who’s lost momentum or feels stuck in the comfort trap.
