JASON MCCARTHY | Forging a Better America One Ruck at a Time (Ep. 298)
In this episode, we welcome Jason McCarthy to the show. He’s a retired Green Beret and the founder and CEO of GORUCK. GORUCK is one of the top rucksack, boots, and apparel companies in the world. In this interview, we discuss why he chose to enter the military, what drew him to Special Forces, his thoughts on the pullout from Afghanistan, where he got the idea to start a backpack company, almost failing as a business owner, the forces fighting against the concept of community in America, what we can do to regain rites of passage in America, how going to war helped him see God’s hand in his life, the virtues of rucking, why we should all focus on doing hard things, and much more. Let’s get into it…
