The Tactical Empire

By: Jeff Smith
  • Summary

  • 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!
