He's doing the deal. And I stayed and 174 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,319 Speaker 1: you talk a couple more years. He moved to Coronado, 175 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 1: you know, Joint Team three, and we reconnected a couple 176 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 1: of years later. I got done snowboarding and took a 177 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 1: job in the industry and they wanted me to move 178 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:54,719 Speaker 1: to San Diego.

That was when 180 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,320 Speaker 1: you and I met, was right before like my last 181 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: season as a snowboarders, when we did the trip to 182 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 1: tari and you know, remember hawking a couple of snowboards 183 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 1: to one of your team guy buddies and Will, which 184 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,600 Speaker 1: I gotta tell that story. It's fucking crazy. I think 185 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 1: Will is that still Team five. So the funny thing 186 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,719 Speaker 1: about Will I think a year later, he's like, I'm 187 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,680 Speaker 1: getting out of the Navy.

You know, my dad, this is not an 195 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 1: early adopter.

And 331 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 1: I think because of that, like we were all holding 332 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 1: up this optimism, Like I was on these text threads 333 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 1: that morning of like this couldn't possibly have happened. It 334 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 1: was all it was all his friends messaging me on 335 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 1: social media Facebook, and I said, well, no, he's fine, 336 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 1: it's it's it's a state department thing and he was 337 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 1: working for the CIA. I'm like, this can't be. But 338 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,560 Speaker 1: I said, you know what, I had enough people reach 339 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 1: out to me. I'm going to text my buddy at 340 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 1: the CIA, and and I texted him on the shuttle 341 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 1: to the airport parking lot, and I got the thing 342 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 1: right as I got to my land Cruiser and it 343 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:08,440 Speaker 1: was like, hey, it's bad news. I'll call you, um 344 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 1: and I'll call you in a second. So I got 345 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 1: the phone call, and I literally like, because for me, 346 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,679 Speaker 1: is the first time I really got it was personal. 347 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:21,159 Speaker 1: I cried for fifteen twenty minutes, like just bawling, and 348 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:26,359 Speaker 1: then I said, I got a call Sean, because everyone's asking, right, 349 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 1: and I've got to just let you know because I 350 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 1: don't want you getting that news from some fucking stranger. 351 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 1: No they and so you know, literally Brandon calls me 352 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 1: and then the very next call is from an eight 353 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,920 Speaker 1: five eight number that's I don't recognize and I never 354 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,680 Speaker 1: answer those calls, and it's you know, it's just Sean Lake. Yeah, 355 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 1: how did you get my number? I'm gonna need you 356 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,200 Speaker 1: to come home right now. And I was I was 357 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,200 Speaker 1: down at the gym and I'm like, what, like, I 358 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 1: need you to come home right now. And sure enough, 359 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 1: it's like the stereotypical movie experience. There's the two black 360 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,399 Speaker 1: suv is waiting in front of Rodney Rodney is what 361 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,680 Speaker 1: we call our house, and they're waiting for me outside. 362 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 1: And we walked back into the house and you know, 363 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,919 Speaker 1: these guys in South Ties and this lady from the CIA, 364 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:08,639 Speaker 1: and they're just like they broke it all down for me. 365 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 1: And I remember just just absolutely in shocked. Now, my 366 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 1: my girlfriend who became my wife, Heather, she you know, 367 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 1: she was in media. She's a TV reporter, and so 368 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:22,359 Speaker 1: her and Brandon instantly team up and just run blockades. 369 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 1: And the first thing I'm saying, well, I'm not talking 370 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,160 Speaker 1: to anyone, And sure enough, within hours, the news trucks 371 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,639 Speaker 1: are all lined up up and down the street and 372 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:32,719 Speaker 1: it was just this, it was it was fucking chaos 373 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:36,400 Speaker 1: for me. But also I had to be the person 374 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:38,119 Speaker 1: to put the word out like I'm the executive of 375 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 1: his estate. I'm the one who's kind of supposed to 376 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,879 Speaker 1: step in in a moment like that. And Brandon, you know, 377 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 1: I remember like there were these key couple of days 378 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:51,200 Speaker 1: They're going into like this crazy amount of media that 379 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,119 Speaker 1: I had zero experience with. I mean, Snowboard movies was 380 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 1: the extent of my media experience, you know, and uh, 381 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,040 Speaker 1: and Brandon managed a lot of that to keep it 382 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 1: off of us, and and and you know, and talking 383 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:05,159 Speaker 1: with Kate and Glenn's sister and the rest of the family, 384 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:09,159 Speaker 1: and how to navigate that landscape was I don't know 385 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 1: that it would have gone as well or I would 386 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 1: reflect back on it and be happy with the results. 387 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,119 Speaker 1: I mean, there's no happiness with those results. But it 388 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 1: was just managed well. And I definitely owe that to 389 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,159 Speaker 1: you because you stepped right in there. You had had 390 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:24,440 Speaker 1: some experience already talking and dealing with media, and you know, 391 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 1: it was just it was handled as best as it 392 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 1: could have been handled. And then you know, you go 393 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 1: a couple of months afterwards, you get through the election, 394 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 1: you get through the political stink. You don't have answers, 395 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 1: we're all left scratching our heads. And this is kind 396 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:40,879 Speaker 1: of a segue into starting Glenn's foundation. And you know, 397 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 1: Katie would just had this like this, this burn inside 398 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 1: of her to do something to honor Glenn's memory. Now, 399 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 1: those anyone out there is listening to this who didn't 400 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 1: know Glenn, what you need to know about him for 401 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,639 Speaker 1: this to matter at all is everyone fucking loved Glenn. 402 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 1: He would walk into a room and he's the guy 403 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:00,960 Speaker 1: who will just light it up, and he will tell 404 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 1: you a bunch of bullshit stories that will have you 405 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:07,200 Speaker 1: laughing your ass off. They will be incredibly embellished, but 406 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:11,920 Speaker 1: you will leave happy. And and it sucks that he's 407 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:13,920 Speaker 1: not here to say that, because call it out to 408 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,200 Speaker 1: his face. But but I mean, like that was his 409 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,959 Speaker 1: power and and he was the fucking glue. So when 410 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,359 Speaker 1: I call him the Facebook before Facebook, and that's I'm 411 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 1: not the only one you know, that's a that's a 412 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:27,160 Speaker 1: well known monika for him. It's because he would literally 413 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,680 Speaker 1: write letters, and who writes letters, like you know in 414 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 1: two thousand twelve, and he would call people and like 415 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 1: when he was home from deployments because he was contracting 416 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 1: for the CIA straight from when he got out of 417 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 1: the Navy, basically right through you know, obviously Benghazi. And 418 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,399 Speaker 1: he would write letters, and he would write emails and 419 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 1: he would call you. It was like a full time 420 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:49,680 Speaker 1: job to keep everyone connected. And it was amazing because 421 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 1: that's the one legacy that that his friends have all had, 422 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 1: is that we all now call each other, we all 423 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,960 Speaker 1: stay connected, and yeah, he's that glue, but now we've 424 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 1: forged our own relation and ships that weren't exclusive through Glenn. 425 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 1: But I mean he brought high school buddies from the 426 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:09,119 Speaker 1: Boston area together, Navy Seal community together, ski bombs out 427 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 1: of Utah, San Diego, CrossFit junkies, I mean, you name it, 428 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:17,480 Speaker 1: like such eclectic groups all pulled together, and that was 429 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,200 Speaker 1: part of his power. So I'm inclined to say anyone 430 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 1: listening to this, if you'd ever met Glenn, you would 431 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 1: have said he was your best friend. That's that's amazing man. 432 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:28,400 Speaker 1: And then you know, if you want to plug the foundation, 433 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 1: well yeah, yeah. So so we we're looking at this 434 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 1: and we're like, well, we have to do something on 435 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 1: a Glenn's memory And what was the one struggle that 436 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 1: Glenn had And a lot of guys getting out of 437 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:43,639 Speaker 1: the teams or special forces have it's a transition to 438 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 1: civilian life. And this isn't something new, but it's not 439 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 1: talked about a lot. And Glenn fucking struggled with how 440 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,400 Speaker 1: to get out of the Navy, as you know, basically 441 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 1: you're a military rock star, and how do you go 442 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 1: from being on the field to off the field. Well, 443 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 1: contracting is a great band aid. You're gonna go from 444 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:06,360 Speaker 1: making sixty dollars a year on a good year two 445 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 1: hundred fifty thousand dollars a year to work half a year. Man, 446 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,879 Speaker 1: that signed me up, and you still get that adrenaline, 447 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:16,359 Speaker 1: you get that fix, you get that action. And a 448 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 1: lot of guys turned to contracting, which you know, I 449 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 1: get it. The money is there, but the longevity of 450 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:26,120 Speaker 1: that as a career move fades, and it fades quick. 451 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,879 Speaker 1: I mean Glenn was forty two years old and we 452 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 1: were working out cross fitting, like beating the tar out 453 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 1: of each other just to like keep up with these 454 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,359 Speaker 1: twenty year old young bucks at the gym, and I 455 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:38,880 Speaker 1: mean we hurt, and you know that was just part 456 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:40,720 Speaker 1: of it, but we're just like, funk it. Let's go again, 457 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 1: and you know we were this is kind of a 458 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 1: segue to the bub stuff we'll talk about later, but 459 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,520 Speaker 1: like we would literally be like, way protein, here's a 460 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:49,880 Speaker 1: little pre workout, here's some B C A S, here's 461 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 1: some hydration, here's some meta musical because you always need 462 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,639 Speaker 1: your fiber.

And he'd 467 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,359 Speaker 1: finally gone through like four career opportunities and landed on 468 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,159 Speaker 1: I'm going back to school in Utah.

And I just I mean I I 488 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:08,639 Speaker 1: have so Glenn has influenced me in so many different 489 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,359 Speaker 1: ways to like the planes and everything. But I just 490 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,720 Speaker 1: thought he would be around to to be flying with 491 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 1: me and doing all this crazy stuff now. Um. But 492 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,199 Speaker 1: he was just like looking at me like, oh man, 493 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:21,719 Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm ready to sign up from 494 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 1: one of brands crazy adventures again after the last one. 495 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 1: I mean that that was it, um. But it was something, 496 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,440 Speaker 1: you know, like Sean was talking about the transition. A 497 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:35,680 Speaker 1: lot of guys struggle with that. I mean I struggled, 498 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,440 Speaker 1: not as bad as you guys at the site talk 499 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,480 Speaker 1: about it. I mean it's just it's it's what do 500 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:42,800 Speaker 1: you want to do? I mean, and you're right. I 501 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,720 Speaker 1: mean Glenn, Glenn followed Brandon into a couple of things 502 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 1: that didn't work well, and and then in soft Rep 503 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,440 Speaker 1: was just in its in its infancy stage. And I 504 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 1: mean I think you got him to write like one 505 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,480 Speaker 1: editorial piece and then I made him a writer, just 506 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 1: put him up on the website. And he was like, 507 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,440 Speaker 1: god damn it, like I'm not a writer, you know. 508 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,639 Speaker 1: But he you know, he he didn't know, and that 509 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 1: was part of that struggle. But then he was like 510 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 1: when he finally made up his mind, He's like, this 511 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 1: is what I can do. I like the hours. I 512 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 1: like that I can keep my recreation intact. You know. 513 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 1: That's what it was all about. Hard play hard. So 514 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,199 Speaker 1: he was a neurosurgeon on that surf trip we all 515 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 1: took together and he's like, dude, I will hire you 516 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:22,160 Speaker 1: an heart whatever it was. It was a lot of money. Yeah, 517 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 1: I mean this is six figure job and boys in 518 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,399 Speaker 1: the medical field. And you know, Glenn was eighteen delta 519 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 1: and like he had that training and like Glenn inspired 520 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:34,200 Speaker 1: that med kit we did for the Greek Club because 521 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 1: that was always complained and he built me one. Yeah, 522 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,159 Speaker 1: that was his whole ideas like funk Man, like one 523 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 1: of his entrepreneurial ideas that he never saw realized was 524 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:45,680 Speaker 1: building a medikit that the everyday person could use that 525 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,639 Speaker 1: was fully functional and removes all the crap. And I 526 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:50,920 Speaker 1: remember we would talk about all the useless ship in 527 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 1: most over the counters sold med kits that just pads 528 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,359 Speaker 1: the pricing, and he's like, you can do this, you 529 00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:58,959 Speaker 1: can do it right, And there was no such thing 530 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,440 Speaker 1: as like a seal indoor product back then, like the 531 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 1: perfect push up didn't exist yet, right, So if he 532 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 1: had done that today, I think the market would obviously 533 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 1: be completely different and curated by a guy who's literally 534 00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 1: been in a medic for you know, fucking seventeen eighteen years. 535 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 1: So who better to validate that product line? So when 536 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 1: when you did, it was like a you know, like 537 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 1: an homage to you know, and which is why it 538 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,280 Speaker 1: made sense to have Chrisporanto be a part of it 539 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:27,240 Speaker 1: because he was there with Gwen. Yeah, Chris was there 540 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 1: and also a lot of medical experience. But that has 541 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 1: been our most popular thing we've done in the premium correct. 542 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 1: I could see that. I could see that well, So 543 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 1: so you know, ben Ghazi goes down, The ship show 544 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,359 Speaker 1: goes down, and you know, the dust isn't even beginning 545 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 1: to settle. But Kate's got this fire, and we sit 546 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:49,879 Speaker 1: in her basement and we talked about launching a foundation, 547 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,160 Speaker 1: and we immediately like it's like we're completing each other's sentences. 548 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 1: This has got to be about helping guys transition out 549 00:26:56,320 --> 00:27:01,080 Speaker 1: of the military to civilian life, education, scholarships, self improvement, 550 00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 1: Glenn Doherty one oh one, be better improve yourself. And 551 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:08,119 Speaker 1: then we're like, well, what was the second thing that 552 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:11,639 Speaker 1: Glenn stood for? After you work hard, play hard. So 553 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,200 Speaker 1: we we carved out a piece of the mission for recreation. 554 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:15,879 Speaker 1: We're like, hey, we don't know what this looks like, 555 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,800 Speaker 1: but if we can help someone who's in need in 556 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:22,119 Speaker 1: this community, let's help them. And if that means like 557 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,719 Speaker 1: taking the family to Disneyland, fuck it, let's be there 558 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 1: to be able to help them for that. So we 559 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 1: launched this this mission and the first year there was 560 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:33,160 Speaker 1: this outpouring of support and you know, like a hundred 561 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,960 Speaker 1: thousand people donated a dollar each or you know whatever. 562 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 1: That we made a couple hundred thousand dollars. We're like, oh, fuck, 563 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,520 Speaker 1: what do we do with this, and we're like, we 564 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 1: don't know anything about running a foundation. So then it's like, 565 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 1: well we should get an endowment. And one of our buddies, 566 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:50,119 Speaker 1: Tom Donahue, on the foundation, um, you know, he's he 567 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,040 Speaker 1: works in finance, and we're like, well, we're doing a downment. 568 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 1: We're protecting the investment, we're protecting the money, and it 569 00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,119 Speaker 1: also regulates from how much we can do with it. 570 00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 1: Everyone's like, that's a great idea because we don't know 571 00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,040 Speaker 1: what we're doing yet, but we don't want to give 572 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,359 Speaker 1: these scholarships out. Oh it turns out we can't actually 573 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,640 Speaker 1: give out scholarships. We have to use a third party 574 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:10,119 Speaker 1: vetting system to give out a scholarship. No problem, So 575 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:13,160 Speaker 1: we we form a partnership with this group called scholars First, 576 00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 1: and you know, then we're taking in applications forum Navy Seals, 577 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,399 Speaker 1: the family of Navy Seals, and any branch of Special 578 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:25,320 Speaker 1: Operations soldiers and we vet them through this third party 579 00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:27,879 Speaker 1: system and they're the ones who actually approved them, and 580 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,240 Speaker 1: then we effect we can hand out checks to help 581 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,719 Speaker 1: them go back to school. It's an instant feel good thing, 582 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:35,960 Speaker 1: but you know, it's everyone's part time job or you know, 583 00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:38,200 Speaker 1: we do it nights and weekends, but every year we 584 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:41,680 Speaker 1: were able to give a little bit more. Well, two 585 00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:43,960 Speaker 1: thousand seventeen was the first year that we had more 586 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 1: applicants than we had money. And we're like, oh, ship, 587 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:49,640 Speaker 1: like we've now helped you know, I think we were 588 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 1: up to twenty eight scholarships and we're like, we're like, 589 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 1: we're starting to feel like we're making a very small 590 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,640 Speaker 1: but you know, an impact, Like people are they notice 591 00:28:57,680 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 1: that they're they're able to go back to school. We're 592 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 1: helping people, but we ran out of money. We have 593 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 1: the endowments who were protected, but we can only give 594 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,960 Speaker 1: out X amount of scholarships. How do we solve for that? 595 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 1: We already run marathon's. We run the Boston Marathon, New 596 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:14,000 Speaker 1: York Marathon. We're running a five k race, you know, 597 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 1: in Glenn's hometown, in our hometown, Winchester. But when we 598 00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 1: do a bake sale, like you know, we're just we're 599 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:24,200 Speaker 1: kind of hit the wall. And I remember, like it 600 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:25,959 Speaker 1: was in April last year, I was chasing a pal 601 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,920 Speaker 1: storm and I went on and I did a podcast 602 00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 1: with this guy, Evan and j T, the founders of 603 00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 1: Black Rifle coffee and we talked about the same subject, 604 00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:38,320 Speaker 1: like the nonprofit world. And it was great because Evan 605 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,840 Speaker 1: had served with Glenn, he knew him, you know, they 606 00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,520 Speaker 1: did the contract and stuff together, and we laughed and 607 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 1: told a couple of jokes about time with Glenn, and 608 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:50,440 Speaker 1: it was kind of left as this open ended things 609 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,240 Speaker 1: like how do you institutionalize giving? And I had that 610 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,320 Speaker 1: takeaway and I come home from that trip and this 611 00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 1: is the segue into bubbs um, my wife buys me 612 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,400 Speaker 1: a tub of college and pep tides. Now you guys 613 00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:03,760 Speaker 1: don't know my wife, but well, Brandon, you know my wife. 614 00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 1: She's fourteen years younger than me. And you know, man, 615 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,840 Speaker 1: what's the math. We talked about half half your age 616 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 1: plus seven, gentlemen, and you guys on the rebound out there, 617 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:16,280 Speaker 1: and you want to know what to do. This is math, 618 00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:19,080 Speaker 1: by the way, that Brandon does not necessarily adhere to. 619 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,840 Speaker 1: Let's not talk about that. I remember when you said it, 620 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 1: I'm dating a millennial on the show, and people are like, 621 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:29,280 Speaker 1: he half half your age plus seven, My wife is 622 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:32,040 Speaker 1: technically a millennial, and and that that offers up some 623 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,760 Speaker 1: some great dinner time conversation between the gen X and 624 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:38,240 Speaker 1: A and a millennial maybe plus two am I plus two. 625 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 1: We're not. We're actually just gonna we're gonna take a 626 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,040 Speaker 1: high road on this one. I'm gonna cut you some 627 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:46,760 Speaker 1: slacker um. And uh So, anyways, my wife buys me 628 00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:50,080 Speaker 1: a tub of collagen protein and collegen peptides and I 629 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:51,880 Speaker 1: come home and she's like, I'm like, what's this. She's like, 630 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 1: it's collagen. I want you to start taking it. I'm like, collagen, 631 00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:56,440 Speaker 1: that's a ship that porn stars used to shoot into 632 00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:58,400 Speaker 1: their lips. And she looks at me. She's like, I 633 00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:00,200 Speaker 1: don't even know what you're talking about. But all the 634 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 1: health nutrition bloggers, like all the chick stuff, they're all 635 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,120 Speaker 1: saying it helps you with your hair, your skin, and 636 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,800 Speaker 1: your nails. And I'm like, I don't care about any 637 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,960 Speaker 1: of that. She's like muscle recovery and joint recovery. I'm like, 638 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 1: oh now you got Now I'm paying attention. She's like, hey, look, 639 00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:15,680 Speaker 1: you're not getting any younger and I need to preserve you. 640 00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:17,880 Speaker 1: And that was like the only takeaway I had was 641 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,080 Speaker 1: you're not getting any younger. And I'm like, all right, 642 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:23,720 Speaker 1: I got that. So I started taking it and I'm 643 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:25,240 Speaker 1: just I just obey her. Like it was the same 644 00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,280 Speaker 1: thing with Glenn when he said take protein. I took protein. 645 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:28,960 Speaker 1: When he said here's the go go choose. I would 646 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:30,960 Speaker 1: you know, I would just follow the rules. I wasn't 647 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,560 Speaker 1: asking any questions. I've never cared to, you know, peel 648 00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 1: back the onion of fitness and look into what I 649 00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,200 Speaker 1: was specifically supposed to do. I just did it.

Now. This is a weird observation because like 658 00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,600 Speaker 1: I clipped my finger nails like every couple of weeks, 659 00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:09,280 Speaker 1: and I was clipping them every fucking week, and now 660 00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:10,920 Speaker 1: anyone who clips your fingers and I was like, it's 661 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:12,760 Speaker 1: just one of those irritating chores. You do it because 662 00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,160 Speaker 1: you have to. It's not like, you know, like something 663 00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:17,640 Speaker 1: you're stoked on. But I was like, this is the 664 00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:19,760 Speaker 1: first time I've ever taken a supplement where I can 665 00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 1: physically see the results. Well, the next month, we go 666 00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:25,760 Speaker 1: to a wedding and I need to get a haircut, 667 00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:30,880 Speaker 1: and I get a haircut. We come home and I'm like, man, 668 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,440 Speaker 1: I just got a haircut. And I looked back because 669 00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:35,280 Speaker 1: I was curious and like, I just got a haircut 670 00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:37,480 Speaker 1: six weeks ago, and I just needed another one. That's 671 00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:41,479 Speaker 1: never happened. So I'm like, data point number two hair nails. 672 00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:44,440 Speaker 1: What the funk? Like this stuff really works. The third 673 00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:48,040 Speaker 1: month was wild because that was when the recovery kicked in. 674 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 1: That's when I was like, oh my god. Like I 675 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,680 Speaker 1: went to Boston with with Heather and my sister. My 676 00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:55,760 Speaker 1: sister is a gazelle and Heather's a gazelle. They run 677 00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,680 Speaker 1: all the time. We ran five to seven miles seven 678 00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:00,840 Speaker 1: days straight, like just for a week straight. Every day 679 00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:02,760 Speaker 1: we get out in the morning and run, and I 680 00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 1: was ready to be crippled by it, Like I I'm 681 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:07,680 Speaker 1: okay in the gym stuff, but if I'm gonna log 682 00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:11,240 Speaker 1: those kind of miles, I'm gonna suffer.

And I'm like, what if we just 722 00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,080 Speaker 1: completely flipped this model on its head. What if we 723 00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:55,400 Speaker 1: did ten percent of every sale of every product directly 724 00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:58,279 Speaker 1: to charity. That's awesome, man, it's great when companies can 725 00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:00,640 Speaker 1: do that too.

But I mean when I when we 742 00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:49,320 Speaker 1: started to have a lot of growth, I wrote it 743 00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:52,120 Speaker 1: into our core values, like we give back. And this 744 00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:55,160 Speaker 1: year I told you and everyone in the company gets 745 00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:57,840 Speaker 1: to pick a charity and we're going to donate on 746 00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:01,480 Speaker 1: to that charity. On that person is behalf. So I 747 00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:04,759 Speaker 1: mean that's it's uh yeah, I'm all about running a 748 00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:08,640 Speaker 1: profitable enterprise with the ridiculous margin as I can grab. 749 00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:12,000 Speaker 1: But at the same time, you can't hate you for that. Yeah, 750 00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:13,400 Speaker 1: I mean, and you know, and I see this a 751 00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:17,399 Speaker 1: lot of the millennial entrepreneurs doing this social enterprises, which 752 00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:19,840 Speaker 1: is great, but it's like, we have a social enterprise 753 00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:23,120 Speaker 1: to like, it's important to give back to the same 754 00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:26,200 Speaker 1: community that gave me everything that I have today. So 755 00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:32,120 Speaker 1: which I and tracking the the the companies, like you said, 756 00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:34,920 Speaker 1: there there are a few that do really good stuff, 757 00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,600 Speaker 1: but and then there are a lot of them, especially 758 00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:39,719 Speaker 1: in the military space, to kind of you know, yeah, 759 00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,480 Speaker 1: that's really not it's more of a marketing gimmick. It's 760 00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:44,920 Speaker 1: not giving back in a meaningful way. And that's what 761 00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:47,120 Speaker 1: you know when you and I were talking about Bubs 762 00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:50,360 Speaker 1: in San Diego, I mean, that's the solid commitment.

Like, 773 00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:19,400 Speaker 1: we didn't even think you could get a company off 774 00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:22,000 Speaker 1: the ground with that kind of math. And we're like, 775 00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,080 Speaker 1: start doing the crunching the numbers.

We're 813 00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:27,160 Speaker 1: not even mixing this and it'll take care of itself. 814 00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:29,799 Speaker 1: But just like that, we're doing a whole demonstration here. 815 00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:32,880 Speaker 1: It's gonna come back tomorrow like ten ten pounds jacked 816 00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:37,680 Speaker 1: up show that, Yeah, we're actually doing this. I usually 817 00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:39,680 Speaker 1: it's whiskey, but go ahead, but well, you know, it's funny. 818 00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:43,080 Speaker 1: People on the on the Facebook Live are like Brandon 819 00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:45,080 Speaker 1: always ends every show with a shot. Is he going 820 00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:47,080 Speaker 1: to do that? Because I saw people asking that I'll 821 00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:51,520 Speaker 1: take a shot with Sean. So I think we've pretty 822 00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:54,279 Speaker 1: much fun to wear our workout today. So yeah, it's 823 00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:56,839 Speaker 1: say it's it's pretty much on transition to whiskey at 824 00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:59,680 Speaker 1: this point. It's great, man, So this is I mean, 825 00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:02,239 Speaker 1: it's flavor. So you get like this little, this little 826 00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:03,960 Speaker 1: hint of something being there. But I put in my 827 00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:06,839 Speaker 1: coffee every morning because you can stand the heat. It's 828 00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:09,000 Speaker 1: it's it's cold. It's not like a you know, a 829 00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:12,920 Speaker 1: chemical concoction. It's because usually these protein patterns like it 830 00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:15,839 Speaker 1: tastes very fake. It just it just tastes very hard. 831 00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:19,080 Speaker 1: When you see something, say strawberry vanilla, I promise you 832 00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:22,920 Speaker 1: it's not organic strawberries and vanilla. But you know, the 833 00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:24,920 Speaker 1: bottom line is we've figured out a way to do it. 834 00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:27,560 Speaker 1: We source the best possible collagen in the country. It 835 00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:29,920 Speaker 1: all had to map, you know, match up to Glenn's 836 00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,319 Speaker 1: ideals like this kind of the standard that we had, 837 00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:34,760 Speaker 1: and you know, I want to make sure the braining 838 00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:37,360 Speaker 1: was on point. And this all represents different parts of 839 00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:41,040 Speaker 1: his life. So I mean, in a nutshell, this is 840 00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:42,920 Speaker 1: a tribute as much as anything. And this is the 841 00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:44,840 Speaker 1: first protein I could just like put in water and 842 00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:49,319 Speaker 1: it's yeah, good to go. Yeah that's I don't think 843 00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:50,719 Speaker 1: you're gonna be taking this one home. I think this 844 00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:52,000 Speaker 1: is going to be in the office for a while. 845 00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:55,680 Speaker 1: So it's you work out in the city. I work 846 00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:58,200 Speaker 1: out like at home on Long Island. So he's you know, 847 00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:01,239 Speaker 1: I've worked out with Brandon and he's pretty tense. So yeah, 848 00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:03,560 Speaker 1: I used to take the sales guys to work out. 849 00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:05,920 Speaker 1: Always fun, always, and then they're like, we don't want 850 00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:07,400 Speaker 1: to have a meeting with you because you're going to 851 00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:09,879 Speaker 1: take us to the gym for first Well I've worked 852 00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:11,839 Speaker 1: out with you just like a couple of times, because 853 00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:13,920 Speaker 1: you know, it's just we're in different areas, so am 854 00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:15,440 Speaker 1: I I just have to ask them. I able to 855 00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:20,080 Speaker 1: keep up better than they? That's what you did? The 856 00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:22,279 Speaker 1: deck of cards workout? Right? Yeah? I did?

When you're doing the deck of cards, 871 00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:06,920 Speaker 1: you really cannot do perfect form push ups because you're 872 00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:09,160 Speaker 1: going to be done pretty quickly and just gotta do 873 00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:11,640 Speaker 1: them fast.
