Retirement at 42 years young is not for the weak and ambitious. I have friends who left the Army and all they wanted to do is collect their pension and sit on the porch.
My neighbor told me dont just play golf cause the only shape that gets you in is round, lol!
To be honest, I realize that all of them are correct.
Not for me though. I love playing golf, even though I'm not good. It's basically physical chess. I like working out in the gym. I quite smoking multiple times. I ride motorcycles. Im married to a dope Latina. I've been divorced. I have 2 kids, one is autistic and the other is a "Pre- teen", in her words. I have been writing poetry and short stories since i was a young boy. Im a published author. Im from Texas but retired in Georgia. I love people, and I still get overwhelmed in crowds.
Solving problems and placing talent where it makes the most sense is my pleasure.
That's what's right for me. I solve the biggest hairiest problems because I can. Therefore, say hello, My name is Queston L. Vanzant. My company is Second & Third Order.
When I saw the officers and senior NCOs in my early career they always spoke about solving problems considering the second and third order effects. And that made all the sense in the world to me.
Long road to retirement. Longer road to transition. I’ve been a gospel rapper. A producer. A father. A husband. A soldier. A cult member—yeah, that too. A child of God. A hater. A friend.
And somehow, I’m still just getting started.
📸 12-mile ruck march. Center formation. Leading from the middle, where the weight is real and the pressure makes diamonds.
I’m building a company. Acquiring companies. Creating legacy from what once felt like leftovers.
🧭 If you're looking for direction, here's your CTA: Be a better human. That’s the journey worth beginning. And all these things? Will be added to you.

Magic don’t start on stage.
It starts here—when nobody’s watching, and the weight’s still on the rack.
You want momentum? Load discipline first.

Marketing Lesson #1: Test Before You Flex
I paid thousands to learn marketing, and the first real lesson I got?
A/B Testing.
The guru said, “Test your copy. Test your offer. Test your audience.”
I heard him—but I wanted speed.
So instead of $5 test spends, I went with $50.
Spoiler alert: I bought the lesson early and expensive.
Now I tell every entrepreneur:
Keep it simple. Lay a solid foundation. TEST before you invest.
It wasn’t my last lesson…
But it was the one I paid the most for, so I never forgot it.
Save your money. Test everything. Build smarter.
