Today’s guest is Evan Hafer. Evan is a U.S. Army Green Beret combat veteran, the CEO of Black Rifle Coffee Company, and host of the Black Rifle Coffee Podcast. He served the United States for more than 20 years in the U.S. Army as an infantryman, a Special Forces soldier, and a CIA contractor. He made over 40 combat deployments during the War on Terror.  Evan has long been passionate about great coffee, roasting beans in his garage and bringing duffle bags full of coffee with him on deployments. In 2014, he started Black Rifle Coffee Company. Today, Black Rifle Coffee Company’s mission is serving “coffee and culture to people who love America.” They are veteran-founded and operated and have made it their goal to hire 10,000 veterans and assist individuals transitioning out of the military.
