#337 - Brandon Young & Blayne Smith: ”From the Battlefield to Business”

We’re back! Marty Skovlund sits down with Brandon Young and Blayne Smith on this week’s Black Rifle Coffee Podcast for a conversation packed with stories of leadership, perseverance, and transition. Both Brandon and Blayne bring decades of experience from their time in the military—Brandon as an Army Ranger and Blayne as a Green Beret.

From their service during some of the most intense years of modern warfare to navigating careers in business and leadership development, this episode dives deep into what it means to lead, adapt, and keep pushing forward. Whether it's combat, sales, or building a team, the same principles apply.

Don't miss this one! It’s got everything from Ranger stories to the hard truths about transitioning out of the military and finding new purpose. Grab a cup of coffee and tune in!
