Evan is a U.S. Army Green Beret combat veteran, the CEO of Black Rifle Coffee Company, and host of the Black Rifle Coffee Podcast.
He served the United States for more than 20 years in the U.S. Army as an infantryman, a Special Forces soldier, and a CIA contractor. He made over 40 combat deployments during the War on Terror.
Evan has long been passionate about great coffee, roasting beans in his garage and bringing duffle bags full of coffee with him on deployments. In 2014, he started Black Rifle Coffee Company.
Today, Black Rifle Coffee Company’s mission is serving “coffee and culture to people who love America.” They are veteran-founded and operated and have made it their goal to hire 10,000 veterans and assist individuals transitioning out of the military. Evan also established the BRCC Fund, a nonprofit that supports veterans and first responders and helps conserve the American outdoors.
BRCC also offers content aimed to educate and entertain across several platforms including the Black Rifle Coffee Podcast, the Black Rifle Coffee Company YouTube Channel, and Coffee or Die Magazine. In 2020, they launched Free Range American, a lifestyle brand and platform focused on the outdoors, Second Amendment news, and American history.

If only I knew this came out today I could have listened to it while sitting in traffic for 2 hours. Oh well, I’ll just listen to it tomorrow while I’m sitting in traffic for 2 hours.

Not sure how open to influence you are Jack, but I love your books and if you ever get tired of writing James Reece, I think a cool tie-in series you could do would be Cold War / Vietnam stuff with Tom Reece. I think that would be a really interesting angle that could continue the Reece story. Love seeing Evan on the show! BRCC is legit! I can't wait for their return to the Canadian market, I miss my Just Black and CAF!

What brand is the green can of water Evan is drinking

Does the name Brent Kopacka 38, mean anything to you Tier 1 guys. Military Veteran with PTSD, rec'd Purple Heart in Iraq. Was left with a head injury that req'd treatment for years. This man was shot dead by a SWAT sniper that was a green beret in his previous life. This happened in Pullman WA on 12/15/22. Then again, Moscow Idaho Military Vet with mental health issues, in standoff with SWAT. They used tear gas to subdue him and he was saved. Why didn't they give Brent, the option of tear gas??? Not right.

Hopefully jack has many friends that will help when the spam hits the fan. We're going to need it. 60K Chinese didn't cross the border to start restaurants!.

I'm so glad, I watched you interview Evan. Evan has received some bad press from time to time. I really didn't know the depth of his background. Evan is a great example, of a true warrior, patriot, war fighter. He took it to our enemies, for as long as he could. He then started the Great company.

Tried pour over for a while till I started pressing. Finally ended up using an AeroPress. Not an ad. The thing just works. Hands down the best cuppa ever and consistent too. Love the BR coffee. Stronk.
