From Prison to Purpose: How AG Gregoroff Built Toehold Flip Flops | BRCC #367
This week on the Black Rifle Coffee Podcast, Logan Stark sits down with AG Gregoroff, founder
of Toehold Flip Flops, for one of the most wild and jaw-dropping conversations we’ve had yet.
AG opens up about growing up in a violent gang-infested neighborhood, selling guns as a
teenager, and facing 16 years in prison after a corrupt drug raid changed his life forever. After
two years behind bars, he walked free and built a life defined by obsession, discipline, and
legacy.
Now the founder of one of the most premium flip flop companies on the planet, AG shares how
his father’s final words fueled a mission he refuses to quit.
