I. Interview 

Today’s guest is a former Army Bomb Tech who spent 22 years in the military, but found his true calling when he started learning about the science of alcohol. A pressure cooker IED and a little root beer cemented his obsession with moonshine and the rest is history. With his wife by his side he continues to give back to the veteran community through suicide awareness and support; it is my pleasure to welcome Mike Girard, from 300 Days Distillery, to the show.

II. Run and Gun 

III. Let’s Mix It Up

Today on Let’s Mix It Up we are going to discuss the importance of suicide...

The Gun Experiment

We experiment with concepts in guns, gear and training; all while having conversations about interesting things, with interesting people. Yes, we will talk about guns, but not just guns because humans weren’t meant to be one dimensional. The gun is merely a tool and we believe the person is the true weapon. We want to explore different ways to make this “weapon” better in mind, body and spirit. Experiment...everyday.
