Marcus and Amber Capone

Marcus and Amber Capone have faced life’s toughest battles together – 28 years of war, transition, family, and building a future once thought impossible.

From combat deployments as a United States Navy SEAL, to the halls of Congress, from surviving personal struggle to leading national change, their journey has always been about more than endurance. It’s about rising – and bringing others with them.

Together, they co-founded VETS, Inc., assisting thousands of veterans and families while unlocking $118 million in public funding for psychedelic research and changing the narrative around mental health. Marcus then founded TARA Mind, building a national network of innovative mental health provider to expand access to mental healthcare for today’s workforce. And now, their story takes center stage in the Netflix documentary, In Waves and War.

But their mission isn’t just about organizations or accolades. It’s about showing what’s possible when resilience meets purpose, and proving that the fight for healing, family, and hope can spark a movement.

VETS, Inc. began with a simple truth: when one veteran struggles, the entire family feels it.

Founded by Marcus Capone, a former Navy SEAL, and his wife Amber, the organization has become a lifeline for thousands of veterans and their loved ones.

Through strategic advocacy, groundbreaking research, and direct support, VETS has unlocked $118 million in public funding, raised over $21 million for the VETS mission, and helped reshape the national dialogue on mental wellness.

Recognized by Charity Navigator as a Top 4 U.S. Charity out of over 225,000 organizations, and with Amber recognized on Inc.’s 2024 Female Founders 500 list, what started as a fight to save lives has grown into a global movement restoring families and delivering hope.

Former Navy SEAL, Marcus, and his wife, Female Founder 500 honoree, Amber, share hard-earned wisdom. Each conversation explores what it really takes to build movements, lead organizations, and maintain authentic success. As fierce advocates and thought leaders, they spotlight transformative stories of resilience, purpose, and change across all walks of life.
