  • 02.15.20 | American war hero, CIA contractor, serial entrepreneur, and the face of the most freedom-filled coffee America has ever brewed. Black Rifle Coffee Company executive vice president Mat Best wasn’t always the bearded, gun-toting, whiskey-drinking war veteran TH-cam has grown to love. In high school, he was a scrawny kid in the botany club! Glenn and Mat dive into his untold history, his years as an Army Ranger in Iraq and Afghanistan, and his mission to serve our veterans and help them overcome PTSD through comedy and community - not to mention plenty of caffeinated insight into coffee, filmmaking, and, of course, America, the Constitution, and being a patriot.

      You completely missed the point. Nobody is telling anyone to drink coffee or alchohol in excess. So if they do, that's on them. People commit suicide because they didn't get likes on their Facebook. Do you have a phone or use social media? Do you shop at grocery stores? Do you eat at restaurants? If you do anyone of those things, you're a hypocrite.

    I’m 30, a conservative in Ca, 5 years sober, ex navy, buried lots of friends and family members, went to jail. I would not go back and do anything differently because I have perspective and I thank God every day. Life humbled me because of overcoming adversity and that has given me gratitude for where my life is now. 3 children and a beautiful wife. Liberals simply have had it too easy and they are the most ignorant people in the world.

      A lot of the time he has no idea what to ask him, that's why he's flipping from the military to talking about hiking.
      He could have had some really cool questions, and some really interesting answers from Mat.
      I know all of what he's said so far, Mat hasn't said anything that I haven't heard him say in his own videos.

    Mat Best is a remarkable guy. I love how he mentions emotional fitness and the macabre humor of the military. Lots of other things he mentions is great but, those two resonate the most with a lot of veterans. I still have lots of (at least I think I do) emotional growth to go through even after serving 10 years in the USAF. Like him I had an alcohol problem and struggled. Now I'm trying to reinvent myself in the civilian world

That the popular thing now a days is to be anti gov., an to hate to people like u , Patriots , an to hate this country. Because with out hero's like u an the others that fight everyday to keep us safe an able to sleep at night with out fear an able to get up in the morning an do what we love no matter what it is. An that allows these people to sit around thinking of ways to hate this country. We need more like u in this world.

    Mat is an incredible example of THE "American Dream". Mat HAS had some just "Dumb Luck" (having someone call him out of the blue, that not only said, "We've got to get you back to work, back to what you LOVE"; but also having the resources/connections to make it happen). But Mat would have been Mat regardless. He's just that Charismatic Leader that you would do anything for. If I were in a position to Mentor a young person today? I would certainly point to Mat as someone to emulate and look up to. One of the things that makes Mat MAT is his desire and ability to do everything he does to his absolute BEST (no pun intended, but appreciated none the less).

    "They work."
    Great answer! I am a Veteran, and I have had NO trouble succeeding in anything I have taken on in life. The reason: I work harder than everyone else, without even realizing I am doing it. It's in the mindset, and it never goes away. You see the task(s) before you, and there is no bullshit clouding your mind between you and the task. When it's time to work...you just do the f__king work. You are actually surprised when people compliment you about this (and they do...alot), because to you...you aren't doing anything special. You are just treating your work...normally.
    A great benefit of that, if you are so inclined, is that you start to realize that no Non-Veterans can keep up with you, so you are not afraid to tell the boss to stuck it and break out on your own. I got my business degrees right after getting out, worked for others for a few years after college...and then spent most of my career running my own businesses. I NEVER found any difficulty making a living, and although I went to college...it was the military that caused my lifelong success.

    In 2015 I supported Sanders, in part because: 1) I knew I didn't want HRC, 2) what I saw concerning Trump made him appear no better, 3) the Libertarian appeared ignorant of basic facts about the world, and 4) Sanders was wrong on 90% but would at least address a couple of my issues indirectly, and I felt he was the only one listening sufficiently to perhaps try and avoid a civil war. I ended up voting for Jill Stein because I couldn't find a reset button for everyone to choose a different candidate and try again. Since then, the President and the Democratic Party have convinced me that President Trump is not merely the best possible outcome, but the best G-d intended outcome possible. After being 'unfriended' by most of those whom I knew in college, in the military, in high school, and had as friends since then due to my unwillingness to be a Leftist, to denounce G-d, to pretend the sacred is make-believe, to renounce 'a priori' values/negative rights, to agree to the destruction of the Constitution, to define myself as evil because of the genetics with which I was born, and decry myself as the epitome of tyranny because of the sex organs between my legs I no longer give a crap: I no longer care if we avoid a civil war. I am not capable of surviving one, but I don't care about that either. My tolerance for the Left, for the urban idiots, is done. They are traitors to everything it means to be an American and everything it must always mean to be an American.
