Ep. 30: Kaj Larsen
Navy SEAL | Class 237
Kaj Larsen has lived a dozen lifetimes in one - Navy SEAL, war correspondent, Hollywood stuntman, Emmy-winning journalist, and entrepreneur - and he’s only getting started.
In this episode, Kaj joins the Liberty Risk crew for a no-filter conversation about brotherhood, chaos, and carving new paths after the Teams. From growing up in Santa Cruz to witnessing the transformation of Naval Special Warfare after 9/11, Kaj shares what it was like to serve through a defining era of modern combat and how that same mindset fueled his leap into journalism, Hollywood, and business.
He brings wild stories from deployments, late nights in Budapest and Ukraine, and yacht adventures gone sideways - balanced with sharp insight on leadership, loss, and the grind of building something real once the uniform comes off. Kaj also dives into his mission to close the wealth gap for veterans through financial literacy and entrepreneurship, showing how warriors can keep winning long after the battlefield.
Packed with grit, humor, and perspective, this episode is a masterclass in reinvention. Whether you’re chasing your next mission or need proof that there’s laughter and life beyond the chaos, this one hits every note of what Liberty Risk stands for.

Kevin Kent
MEET KEVIN
Chief Special Warfare Operator Kevin Kent (BUD/S Class 200) spent 21 years in the SEAL Teams, mostly with Team 5, completing 9 combat deployments across war zones while racking up a medal haul that’d make a North Korean general jealous - though he somehow dodged the Good Conduct Medal (red stripes say it all).
After retiring, Kevin pivoted to Hollywood as an actor, stuntman, weapons trainer, and military advisor on productions like Fast X, Netflix’s Obliterated, and Jack Ryan.
He founded K-Squared Productions, directed award-winning short films, and runs high-risk executive protection gigs when he's not behind a camera. Based in San Diego, he’s a proud husband of 22 years and father to three grown kids - still thriving in the chaos, just with better lighting.
