We’re back.
After a six-month break, we just dropped one of the most meaningful episodes we’ve ever recorded.
Tim Jensen, co-founder of Grunt Style and Marine Corps veteran, joined me for a raw, unfiltered conversation about what it really takes to transition from combat to commerce.
But this episode isn’t just for veterans.
It’s for anyone who’s been through dark seasons, anyone who’s tried, failed, and crawled their way forward. Tim’s story of depression, addiction, and near suicide isn’t easy to hear, but it’s exactly what some of us need to hear right now.
Here’s what stood out:
What it was like leading 200+ combat patrols in Iraq and what came after
The psych med cocktail the VA prescribed that nearly killed him
How Grunt Style grew from a garage brand to $130M+
Why most suicide prevention funding isn’t working and what actually helps
The kind of mindset every founder loses (and has to fight to get back)
This one left a mark on me. I hope it does the same for you. If there’s one part that hits home, forward it to someone who needs it.
Keep Building,

⚠️ Quick note: You'll hear I lost connection partway through the episode, turns out a tornado hit near our office and knocked out our power. Appreciate your patience with the live stream glitches. We kept the cameras rolling because this conversation was too important to stop.
