Ben Winner and I go way back to our wildland fire rappeller days, fighting fires in Northeast Oregon. Ben is a total badass. After jumping out of helicopters for a living, he learned to fly them. Ben served as a Blackhawk pilot in the army, spending a decade flying missions in the Middle East. He now works as a contractor and owns his own company, Tier 1 Kinetics, that specializes in curating gear for the tier 1 community, from sunglasses and apparel to guns and ammunition. Ben is a great guy and offers some solid advice for getting through tough things and pursuing your passions.
