In Politics, A Scalpel Finishes What A Hammer Starts

Baker Leavitt joins the podcast again for a raw, strategic conversation on power, politics, and precision. Baker is a seasoned entrepreneur and the Director of Strategic Relations at Black Rifle Coffee Company. Baker is also the founder of Digital Mongoose, a consulting firm, and has a rich history in the hunting and outdoor community.
