Kaj Larsen has lived many lives in one - Navy SEAL, war correspondent, Hollywood stuntman, Emmy-winning journalist, and entrepreneur - and he's just getting started.
In this episode, Kaj joins the Liberty Risk crew for a no-filter conversation about brotherhood, chaos, and carving out new paths after the Teams. From growing up in Santa Cruz to the transformation of the SEALs after 9/11, Kaj shares what it was like to serve through a defining era of modern warfare - and how that same mindset helped him break into Hollywood, reporting on the frontlines, and the business world.
You'll hear wild stories from deployments, late partying nights in Budapest and Ukraine, and yacht adventures that went sideways - mixed with sharp insight on leadership, loss, and the grind of building something real after service. Kaj also dives into his mission to close the wealth gap for veterans through financial literacy and entrepreneurship, showing how warriors can win long after the battlefield.
Packed with grit, humor, and perspective, this episode is a masterclass in reinvention. Whether you're chasing your next mission or just need proof that there's life - and laughter - beyond the chaos, this one's for you.
