Some careers are impressive, RJ Casey's is on another level. From the front lines of special operations to the film sets of Hollywood, he's lived a life few could even imagine. In this episode of the Liberty Risk Podcast, RJ takes us inside his journey as a U.S. Army Green Beret, Air Force Pararescueman (PJ), OGA Operator, entrepreneur, and co-founder of veteran-led brands Brigands Co and Four Branches Bourbon.
