1 day ago
Having served at the highest levels of the U.S. Army Special Operations in 2nd Ranger Battalion, Jeff Smith came to understand the relationship between discipline, strategic action, and success. However, the transition back to civilian life - and civilian work - introduced Jeff to the unhappy, sedated daily life of the average corporate slave. So, he found a way to achieve on his own terms. Jeff is now a successful entrepreneur with more than a decade of real estate investing experience along with owning a thriving fitness and performance business. And he wants to help you blow past “average” and build your own definition of success in business, in life, and within your family, too. If you’re a high-achieving family man with an entrepreneurial spirit and the drive to relentlessly pursue higher goals and more knowledge, this is the show for you. With every episode, the Tactical Empire Show will bring you the stories, insights, and wealth creation strategies of the top-performing entrepreneurs in a range of industries. No holds barred here - you’ll hear the honest wins, losses and no-bullshit advice you need to create abundance, cultivate discipline, and realize your full potential as a leader and a man. We’re not wasting any time. Let’s go win!

Why Making More Money Still Leaves You Broke
Most people think making more money will solve their problems, but it does not. In this episode, Sean breaks down the three money skills that actually determine whether you build real wealth or stay stuck: the ability to get money, keep money, and multiply money. Most business owners only master one and wonder why nothing changes. You will learn why chasing investments too early keeps people broke, how poor money habits quietly drain growing businesses, and why keeping cash is the real foundation of long-term wealth. Sean shares a real example of a business that scaled revenue fast but struggled to hold onto money, and how fixing spending habits created massive change in a short time. By the end, you will understand how to increase income, control spending, and put your money to work with intention instead of guessing.

8 Tactical Dates: Essential Conversations for a Lifetime of Love
In this episode, Shawn breaks down the real presentation he gave at the Little Rock meetup. Instead of teaching from a place of mastery, he chose to challenge himself and the men by talking about what he knows he needs to work on: building stronger relationships at home.

From trust and conflict to money, intimacy, family, fun, growth, and dreams, these conversations shape the strength of your relationship and ultimately the strength of your leadership and legacy. This episode is not just about marriage. It is about why love is a skill that requires practice, why neglect at home destroys empires, and why strong marriages create stronger men, families, and communities. If you want to lead with impact, it starts at home. Listen in and challenge yourself to have the conversations that will keep your relationship and your mission alive.
