This week on Lifestyle with Roy Ice, former Naval Special Warfare operators Paul Thoma and Mike Brown join Roy for a direct conversation about courage, discomfort, and life after high-stakes environments.

From ice bath challenges to military transition, they explain why growth doesn’t stop when structure disappears and why choosing discomfort still matters long after service ends.

Navy SEALs are some of the toughest men on Earth. SEAL Veterans, on the other hand are a bit more high maintenance.

Is it so hard to get some ice cold coconut waters while filming in the desert? Come on!

“A little look behind the scenes…”

It’s incredible what can happen when people come together for a cause. This project brought together a community of talented individuals from the film industry, all driven by the desire to make an impact for @thesealfuturefoundation. From their time and skills to their creativity, everyone here stepped up to bring a vision to life in support of our mission.

This is what SFF is all about—bringing people together to serve, support, and uplift others. This behind-the-scenes glimpse shows just a bit of the passion and dedication that went into making this creative idea come to life.

What a phenomenal start to the year it’s been!

We are reflecting on our LA Shooting Experience event, and wow, what an incredible way to kick off a year of community, camaraderie, and unforgettable moments! 🎯

From the thrill of hitting the target to the cheers of victory echoing through the range, every moment was a testament to the power of coming together as a community.

As our first event of the year, it set the tone for what promises to be an amazing journey ahead. We couldn’t be more excited about the adventures and connections that lie ahead in the coming months!

A HUGE thank you to everyone who joined us for this unforgettable experience! 🙌 Your enthusiasm and energy made this event truly special.

And to our incredible partners @gymweed @hurleysgold @scorpion_ammo @gatorzeyewear @drinklmnt @byltbasics @lbtinc, thank you for your support and dedication in making this event a success! Together, we’re making a difference in our community and beyond.

Stay tuned because this is just the beginning! by @paul__thoma
