Summary

Thomas Modly had an eclectic career in the military, academia, business, and government when he answered the call to service in 2017 and returned to the Navy where his career began. His experience, as chronicled in these pages, tells the story of Secretary Modly’s quest to advance the Department of the Navy’s preparedness for the challenges of this century. As Acting Secretary of the Navy he held fast to the mantra of “acting, not pretending,” and thus advocated aggressively for the Navy and Marine Corps’ future — a future he believed would be defined by uncertainty and unpredictability. Every Friday he wrote a personal message to the entire Department regardless of rank. Those messages were called SECNAV Vectors. Each Vector was intended to clearly communicate his priorities and to establish a rapport with all levels of the organization. The subject of each Vector was inspired by real events that occurred in real time. As these events unfolded , the Secretary’s unyielding emphasis on being prepared for unpredictable events are proven to be prescient as the Navy found itself, unintentionally, in the center of COVID-19 crisis.

    What’s it like to rise from Youngstown, Ohio to flying in private jets, then lose it all? What’s it like to be an alpha male who gets what you want, then realize you have put everything that matters to you at risk? What does it mean to know exactly who you are, then understand that you don’t know yourself at all? 
    A born hustler, Chris Hunter co-created Four Loko, the world’s most infamous alcoholic beverage, and blew it up to a national sensation and a billion-dollar company in two years, only to be fired by his own partners. Until that moment, he thought he knew what it meant to be a man. He thought he understood—hell, embodied—masculinity. 
    He was wrong. 
    Events that would have broken other men opened a door. Chris Hunter walked through it to a new reality. A searing tale of power, grit, and unexpected reinvention, Blackout Punch is the story of a man who had it all—and wanted it all to be different.
