Summary

Today, I sit down with a fascinating man. His name is Mat Best and many of you know from his viral videos for Black Rifle Coffee Company. But what you may not know is how he views his military service as an Army Ranger with five combat tours.

During our conversation, we talked about how he views his service, his continual support of military veterans, how he founded his mission after the military, where he stumbled along the way, and how he helped turn a simple coffee company into a household name.

MAT BEST

As I stated earlier, my guest today is someone most of you are probably familiar with. His name is Mat Best and he is a former Army Ranger and the co-founder of Black Rifle Coffee company along with several other companies he founded since leaving the military.

He and I had the opportunity to sit down at Total Archery Challenge a couple of weeks ago in Park City to talk about his military service, how to lead an incredible organization in Black Rifle Coffee Company, and his new book, Thank You For My Service.

Gents, I think you’re going to enjoy this one as you might see a side of Mat you haven’t seen before.

ORIGIN

If you’re not familiar with Origin Maine, I encourage you to get familiar with them as soon as you can. Whether or not you’re into Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu or not is irrelevant as they do so much more than make gi’s and rashguards.

Their goal is to restore American Manufacturing and with their new denim line, boot line, and Jocko Supplements, they are on the path to doing just that.

I personally use their supplements, specifically, their Super Krill, Joint Warfare (for the aching joints since ramping up Jiu-Jitsu), Molk, and their new product, a cognitive enhancement called Discipline Go.

If you’re looking to add some supplements to your nutritional and exercise lineup, check out Jocko’s products by Origin Maine and, when you do, use the code “order” at checkout to get a 10% discount. Head to www.originmaine.com and, again, use the code, “order” at checkout.

Today I sit down with a fascinating man, his name is Matt Best and many of you know him from his viral videos for Black Rifle Coffee Company.

0:08.3

But what you may not know is how he views his military service as an army ranger with five separate combat tours.

0:15.9

During our conversation we talked about how he views his service, his continual support of military veterans,

0:22.5

how he found his mission after the military, of course where he stumbled along the way and how he helped turn a simple coffee company into a household name.

0:32.2

You're a man of action. You live life to the fullest, embrace your fears and boldly charge your own path.

0:37.9

When life knocks you down, you get back up one more time, every time. You are not easily deterred and defeated.

0:44.7

Rugged, resilient, strong. This is your life, this is who you are, this is who you will become.

0:51.7

At the end of the day and after all is said and done, you can call yourself a man.

0:57.0

Gentlemen, what is going on today? My name is Ryan McClure and I am the host and the founder of this podcast, The Order of Man,

1:03.4

and more than a podcast, a movement. And it wouldn't be the movement that has spanned many, many countries all over the world,

1:09.8

including millions of millions of men across the planet without you, without you listening in, without you supporting what we're doing here,

1:17.7

which is ultimately to reclaim and restore masculinity in a society that seems to be drifting at a increasing pace away from what it means to truly be a man.

1:29.1

That of a protector, a provider and a presider. So we've got our interview show where I'm interviewing guys like Matt Best and David Goggins and Jocco,

1:37.5

a willing, in Grant Cardone and Andy Frasilla and Tim Kennedy and Dakota Meyer and Pete Roberts and the other, I believe it's close to 240 interviews now, which is amazing.

1:50.4

It's amazing. I'm so fortunate to be able to do this and again, I could not do it without you. That's my goal to give you these types of conversations, the tools, the resources, the guidance, the direction, everything that you need to step up in your life more fully as a man.

2:03.3

So thank you for being on the path with me. Guys, we've got a great show lined up for you today with the one and only Matt Best. I know a lot of you guys know him and we're going to get to that here in a minute.

2:13.6

I did want to make probably the last or second to last announcement of our upcoming event, which is going to be held August 9th, 10th and 11th here on my property in Maine.

2:28.3

I've been working hard on getting the barn ready for everybody who's going to be in attendance. It's going to be a day and a half to two days of camaraderie and competition and brotherhood and gaining clarity and cooperating with other men to help you walk away with the ultimate battle plan.

2:48.3

Everything that you need to achieve more in your life in the next 90 days than potentially you have all year, that's what we're going to do and we're going to do that through giving you some of these tools and resources that I've been talking about and then having you split out in teams at the event and working very, very closely with seven to 10 other men who are going to help you flesh out everything that you need to create this battle plan for yourself.

3:14.5

So if you want to know more about it and you want to get registered do it very, very quickly because this is just around the corner. I think it's less than two weeks away now and we've got a few more spots.

3:24.5

So head to order of man.com slash main event. Main is in the state main order of man.com slash main event. You can check it out.

3:33.5

All right guys, I've got another announcement for you later, but for now I want to get right into this conversation with the one and only Matt best.
