EP 247: The Single Focus and Strategic Intent of a Green Beret - Evan Hafer 

Why placing mission first works in business
​
Evan Hafer is a former Green Beret (U.S. Army Special Forces) with multiple combat tours. He loves his coffee, and he loves to help veterans. Evan founded Black Rifle Coffee Company (BRCC) to supply a premium, roast-to-order coffee to the working man. He wanted a profession that merged his true passions - his love of country, love of his community, and love for great coffee. Now serving one million tons of coffee beans a year, BRCC wants to hire 10,000 U.S. veterans. This episode is an epic start to Rocktober.​​
  • How does Evan like to explain what he does?
  • Evan has used the term Vetreprenuer, what is that?
  • Why BRCC? What's the point of difference?
  • What's a mission plan and how does Evan execute a mission plan at BRCC?
  • When does Evan check in with himself on the delivery of his mission?
  • When Evan left government service, he wrote himself a personal mission statement. How has he executed it? 
  • Evan will change tactics but never quits the mission. What's the mission and how imbedded is it in the culture?
  • In the CIA, there were mission first guys, and me first guys, and some in-between. What does Evan see in business today?
  • Mat Best said that BRCC openly promotes the mission outward as much as inward. Is this a strategy or just SOP?
  • Evan created a company culture where civilians have to adapt to a military-style of operation. How do civilians adapt?
  • Are candour and attitude a vital ingredient of the BRCC culture and is it a principal value for Evan personally as a leader?
  • Evan's Grandfather, a WW2 hero, was an inspiration to him. What does he draw as inspiration from his granddad?
  • If Evan could sit with his granddad at Thanksgiving dinner and ask him a question, what would he want to know?
  • Evan has been known to work 24hr stretches in the trenches at BRCC
  • The moment in the Northern Idaho backwoods where Evan decided to he wanted to serve?
  • What did the wilderness teach Evan as a kid?
  • Going CHIPS IN. Did that cut off Evan's option to retreat?

“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!”
― Hunter S. Thompson, The Proud Highway: Saga of a Desperate Southern Gentleman, 1955-1967
