Summary

On this episode, Dennis speaks with Founder of AARDVARK Tactical and host of The Debrief Podcast, Jon Becker. Jon Becker is an expert in tactical equipment with over four decades of experience working with some of the world’s top law enforcement and military units. After founding AARDVARK at just seventeen years old, Jon built the company into one of the largest providers of tactical equipment in the world while also becoming an attorney with a focus on civil rights and police litigation. These two areas of expertise converged in his articles, his teaching, and his study of tactical leadership.

After working alongside law enforcement and military leaders for decades, Becker has cultivated a deep understanding of the self-discipline, sacrifice, and motivation required to lead an elite team – and it’s clear that his guests do, too. With an impressive lineup of individuals who have spent their careers putting their lives on the line, The Debrief is a podcast about tactical units and their commanders, but for anyone interested in leading like the elite.

Today, Dennis and Jon discuss Jon's early years and how he founded AARDVARK Tactical at seventeen years old, the different types of tactical equipment they provide to LEO & Military, the '84 Olympics influence on future of SWAT teams, the motivation to make a difference and understanding the product you need when shopping for tactical equipment.
