Marcus Capone

Marcus Capone is a visionary entrepreneur, health innovator, and decorated Navy SEAL on a mission to rewrite the future of mental health. A veteran of U.S. Special Operations, Capone retired from active duty in 2013 after a distinguished career that included multiple combat tours to Afghanistan and Iraq, earning numerous combat awards with valor at SEAL Team Ten and the legendary SEAL Team Six—the world's premier counter-terrorism unit.

As Chairman and Co-Founder of VETS: Veterans Exploring Treatment Solutions, Capone leads a national movement that's shattered stigma and paved new trails in evidence-based, alternative therapies for U.S. veterans. By championing groundbreaking solutions and policy reform, Capone and his team have delivered over $145 million in funding, research, and hope—unlocking public and private funding for innovative brain health treatments, empowering thousands of veterans and families to access truly transformative care.

Building on this legacy, Capone founded TARA Mind—where he serves as CEO—to bring advanced, science-backed mental health treatments to those who need them most. TARA Mind's elite nationwide network of integrative clinics, providers, and therapists is revolutionizing modern behavioral healthcare, working alongside visionary employers and healthcare systems to redefine wellness benefits and ensure breakthrough therapies are accessible across America. Capone and his team have built a proprietary AI platform to raise the standard of care, focused on data-driven outcomes. His story and leadership continue to move the needle, driving new standards in mental healthcare and wellbeing for diverse communities both in the US and across the globe.

Renowned for amplifying his mission in the public eye, Capone and his wife Amber launched their newest venture—the hit YouTube channel and podcast "Conversations with the Capones" (thecapones.com)—quickly becoming a leading voice for mental wellness, brain health, and positive change. With millions of views and exploding social media interest, the Capones now command a platform that reaches and inspires millions, cementing their role as a dynamic couple driving transformative impact for individuals and families everywhere.

A sought-after speaker and thought leader, Capone has captivated millions on CNN, FOX News, Forbes, The Lead, and countless podcasts—unpacking the real stories behind high-performance recovery, mental toughness, and behavioral health innovation. As consulting producer and main subject in the award-winning Netflix documentary "In Waves and War," Capone's personal journey and advocacy have become a beacon for transformation and resilience, earning recognition from critics and audiences worldwide for their depth, honesty, and impact.

Offstage, Capone brings the same intensity to his own life—whether surfing big waves, tackling world-class golf courses, biohacking his way to health and wellness, or prioritizing family adventures with Amber and their two children between Dallas and Southern California. His drive was forged early: a highly sought-after quarterback, Capone earned a full athletic scholarship and graduated with honors before answering the call to serve. His background spans high-stakes finance, entrepreneurship, risk mitigation, and boardroom strategy, amplified by hard-won lessons forged in combat, real-world applications, and with business degrees from The University of Southern California Marshall Business School and The University of San Diego Knauss School of Business.
