About this listen

In this powerful episode of Frogman Friday, Ryan “Birdman” Parrott sits down with retired Navy SEAL Dave Swarts to explore his transformative journey from 20 years of service to building a new mission around community, cooking, and firearms training.


Dave opens up about his difficult transition from the SEAL Teams, including the emotional toll of post-service life, family challenges, and legal uncertainty. But through the storm, he forged three impactful ventures:

✅ Trident Table Foundation – a nonprofit using food and fellowship to strengthen veteran and Gold Star families

✅ Dirty Frogs – his hilarious and heartfelt seasoning and catering brand

✅ Red Watch – tactical firearms training run by elite operators for civilians, law enforcement, and military


🔥 Whether you're a vet, civilian, first responder, or just love food, this episode is a must-listen for those seeking purpose, protection, and real-world healing.
