Today we hear the second round of our insightful two part Combat
Story with former Green Beret and Delta Force operator Brent
Tucker. In this episode, Brent runs through deployments with The
Unit, including what it feels like breaching a door on an objective
and earning a Purple Heart (the last one on his team to earn one),
after being shot and hit with grenade shrapnel.
Since leaving the military, Brent founded First Responderās Coffee Company, which uses the tagline āCoffee with a purposeā because it supports the First Responder community. We dig into the intent behind itās sister entity, First Responderās Cigar Company, and Brentās recollection of cigars and coffee in the military.
Please enjoy this deep dive and wide ranging discussion with a former Tier 1 operator and all the ups and downs that come with that careerā¦and maybe listen to this with a cup his Bourbon flavored coffee from FRCC!
