Back in episode 12 we had a small knife maker on our show: Chris Stroup.

Fast forward just over 2 years and he is now one of the biggest names in the game. Sharing stages at SHOT show and Blade Show, collaborating with other huge brands, and having his blades featured on TV shows.

Most importantly, Chris became a close and trusted friend and I am excited to have him on the show again.

You can refer to episode 12 to learn more about Chris, his exploits as a SOF operator, and his journey into knife making.

In this episode we discuss more of the entrepreneurship journey, growth and scaling, and lessons learned along the way. We were even able to rope Chris's wife Meagan for a few questions.
