Dr. Tony Dice, CEO of Bishop & Dice Defense LLC, empowers veterans, law enforcement, and first responders to overcome trauma and reclaim their lives. As a Navy SEAL, therapist, paramedic, and firefighter, he’s lived at the extremes of chaos and control—from overseas deployments to firefighting, from decorated service to deep meth addiction. His rock-bottom moment came when the pull of meth nearly prevented him from saving his young son during a public health crisis—a crisis that forced him to confront the war within. Emerging from addiction, Tony built a life rooted in truth, accountability, and recovery, creating the Holistic Change Model, a non-drug, evidence-informed approach that blends clinical insight with 12-step principles. His memoir, After the Trident, shares how this model helps heal the “invisible wounds” of those who serve, offering practical guidance for sustainable recovery and long-term life transformation. On this episode, Tony shares raw, authentic insights from his journey, exploring the roots of compulsive behavior, the challenges faced by heroes trained “not to quit,” and the strategies that turned a life of chaos into one of integrity and service. For anyone seeking hope, practical tools, and inspiration, this is an interview not to be missed.
