In this episode of The Born Primitive Podcast, Bear and Tony dive into the raw truth behind entrepreneurship, leadership, and what it really takes to stand out in any career path. From the get-go, the message is clear: entrepreneurship isn't for everyone, and chasing the title without the grit can lead to burnout and regret. The conversation unpacks the real challenges of building a brand like Born Primitive, including the intentional choice to stay family-owned and self-funded — avoiding the temptation of fast money and external control. We also explore the backlash that can come with standing firm in your values, including the hate mail received for publicly supporting law enforcement. At the heart of it all is a powerful message: whether you're leading a business or working within one, owning your lane, bringing value, and operating with integrity will always set you apart.To check out our brand visit: https://bornprimitive.com/And you can learn more about Born Primitive Tactical by visiting: https://bornprimitivetactical.comFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bornprimitive/Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCruGgs2p3VVVy-v6YTiKuQwPRODUCED BY IRONCLAD

One thing I've noticed with the over 500 guests I've had on the podcast is that they're all relentless in their chosen pursuit. I've also noticed that all of them think they're too dumb (to some degree) to fail – meaning they realize how crucial it is to be stubborn and hard-headed enough to keep going when all the “smart” people would quit. My guest today, former Navy SEAL and founder of Born Primitive, Bear Handlon, is no exception. Today, Bear and I talk about cutting against the grain, why the VA is failing our veterans, why so many men are unwilling to take risks in their lives, how he would have done things differently, and when to burn the boats.
