Summary

Nick was born in Hollywood Florida. He spent his childhood training to be Batman and planning his next big adventure. He grew up on the move and lived in 5 states by the time he was twelve. This only made him more adaptable and comfortable with integrating into any environment. His teen years took a turn and were rocky to say the least. Nick was forced into juvenile detention at the age of twelve. After shaking his past Nick needed to find a new direction.

Nick joined the Marine Corps at 19 but not without a fight. Because of his troubled youth, Nick had to seek legal counsel just to be accepted. He suffered from a wrist injury within his first week of boot camp. He spent five and a half months in basic training but graduated company honor grad. It was his perseverance through adversity that set the tone for his future and a foreshadowing of things to come.

Nick went on to become a 12 year Special Operations Marine Corps veteran with Marine Reconnaissance and Marine Special Operations Command. He has deployed in support of OIF/OEF and other places all over the world. Has trained foreign police, military, and militia in several countries.

His military career prepared him for successful leadership and strategic operational planning. Nick is the founder and CEO of Alexander Industries as well as a successful adventure + informational YOUTUBE channel with his partner and wife Alison Capra. From adventures to Iceland to concealed carry handgun tips, this channel is a peak into Nick's daily life as a VLOG.

A life of adventure and excitement. Nick resides in North Carolina with his wife and business partner of Alexander Industries, Alison. They co-own of Johnny Slicks an organic grooming essentials company and The Agoge for personal training and coaching. Nick is a self-published author Ex-Communicated Warrior, 7-Stages of Transition, and co-author of fitness training books: USMC Prep, Recon Prep, and Marine Raider Prep. He has two beautiful daughters and one son. He spends his free time on the water or traveling to see his family in Greece.

0:00.0	Well, good morning everybody. It's Monday. So you know where you're about to sit down and have an awesome conversation.
0:04.8	But before we get into that, let's talk about what actually makes this podcast possible.
0:10.0	Sure. I need to have recording equipment. I need to have a video camera for the video aspect of it.
0:14.5	But I tell you what right now, what actually makes me able to do this or what allows me to be able to do this
0:20.7	is the support from brands like Black Rifle Coffee, specifically the brand Black Rifle Coffee.
0:25.0	They are the sole sponsor of the podcast and I could be could not be more proud to have them as such.
0:31.0	So if you want to support me, please support them. Go to BlackWaffleCoffee.com and I'm just going to
0:35.7	recommend you scroll across the top banner to begin with because there's three things that are up there
0:40.3	right now that are pretty timely. First is their warrior roast. And this is part of the limited premium
0:44.5	roast. If you want to get this roast, you need to sign up for the exclusive coffee subscription,
0:50.5	which is a monthly changing roast and they're pretty awesome. In addition to that, you have the

1:04.8	different. You can get access to all of the roasts that they have delivered to your front door or
1:09.3	office or actually wherever you would want it to be delivered at the pace and cadence that you
1:13.4	want it to. So that's an option. And then the third thing that I'm just actually now seeing for
1:16.8	the first time is a bass cat boat giveaway. It's a fully rigged and custom wrapped bass cat
1:22.4	cougar. And I guess you get some more stuff with that, but you can just learn more and click right
1:27.2	on the first banner tab. BlackWaffleCoffee.com. They're awesome people. It's an awesome brand.
1:34.1	Couldn't be more stoked to be involved with them. And that's it on the business side. Let's talk
1:37.2	about my guest today. His name is Nick Kumalotsoce. And let me just tell you that is that took me a
1:43.7	little bit of practice to say that. And I actually had to ask him directly how to pronounce it because
