Show Notes
From Trident to Transformation: The War Within Dr. Tony Dice.
How do you go from a decorated Navy SEAL who thrives in chaos to someone barely clinging to life—and nearly losing his son—in the grip of a devastating meth addiction?
This is the raw, unflinching story of Dr. Tony Dice, CEO of Bishop & Dice Defense LLC. Tony didn't just experience the extremes of overseas deployments, firefighting, and paramedic rescues; he lived a parallel life in the shadows, fighting a brutal, internal war. His rock-bottom moment came during a public health crisis when his addiction almost cost him his young son's safety—a stark, terrifying crisis that forced him to confront his own darkness.
A Hero’s Journey to Hell and Back.
Dr. Tony Dice has lived a dozen lives: as a therapist, paramedic, and firefighter, he's seen trauma from every angle. Yet, the invisible wounds he carried led him to a place where his decorated service felt like a lie. Emerging from that despair, Tony didn't just find sobriety; he built a life rooted in truth and radical accountability.
Now, he's revolutionizing how veterans, law enforcement, and first responders heal. His Holistic Change Model is a powerful, non-drug, evidence-informed approach that blends clinical insight with 12-step principles to treat the 'invisible wounds' of those who serve. He also offers an innovative blend of tactical supply and mental health support designed to build trust within these tight-knit communities.
