Rescuing Stranded Boaters And Saving Lost Soldiers | Ep 13 w/ Chris Stockton & Steve Benefield

There's a moment when you realize, "I need help."

For boaters, it's the moment when you've been coving out and you go to start the engine, and it just clicks. You're miles from home, and along comes Chris Stockton, a Marine and a licensed towboat captain. Chris's company Upstream Towing Co. is one of the main towing partners for XTow, LakeExpo's "worry-free boating" club.

But sometimes you're a Marine, and you look up and realize, "I'm not the man I need to be. I need help." That's where FOCUS Marines Foundation meets military members who are ready for a change. Steve Benefield serves with FOCUS, and as a Marine, Steve came back from deployment a changed man. "I lost my smile," he said. After more than a decade, Steve's smile is back, thanks to the transformative week he spent with FOCUS.

In this episode, we talk boating, boat-towing, and boat-rentals (Steve's main business). But then we dive deep into what makes — and breaks — a person, and how FOCUS Marines Foundation has helped more than 1,000 people come out of the fog of war.
