In this powerful episode of Security Halt!, host Deny Caballero welcomes Kevin Smith, a former Green Beret and endurance coach, for a candid conversation about what it takes to thrive both in uniform and in the civilian world.

Kevin opens up about his journey from an athletic upbringing to enduring the rigors of Special Forces selection and the Operator Training Course. He shares insights into the mental and physical challenges of military life, and the values that shaped his success: discipline, perseverance, and self-belief.

Now an entrepreneur and coach, Kevin discusses the transition from the military to building a business, how endurance events became a tool for personal development, and why community support is vital for lasting growth. This episode is packed with wisdom for veterans, athletes, and anyone looking to level up in life.
