American war hero, CIA contractor, serial entrepreneur, and the face of the most freedom-filled coffee America has ever brewed. Black Rifle Coffee Company executive vice president Mat Best wasn’t always the bearded, gun-toting, whiskey-drinking war veteran YouTube has grown to love. In high school, he was a scrawny kid in the botany club! Glenn and Mat dive into his untold history, his years as an Army Ranger in Iraq and Afghanistan, and his mission to serve our veterans and help them overcome PTSD through comedy and community — not to mention plenty of caffeinated insight into coffee, filmmaking, and, of course, America, the Constitution, and being a patriot.
