About This Podcast

Being a human in the modern world is like living in a house on fire in the middle of a minefield, but that doesn’t mean we should all just sit inside and doom scroll our lives away. The Surf and Turf Show features two retired prior enlisted special operations officers turned writers—Green Beret Lieutenant Colonel Dan Pace and Navy SEAL Lieutenant Commander Adam Karaoguz. Join them as they explore how to make sense of and navigate the Turbulent Twenties. Parenting, masculinity, marriage, fitness, finance and more—nothing’s off limits—and they address it all with candor and humor.
