0:58Now PlayingA couple weeks ago on the podcast, I talked very candidly to Ethan Thornton about the challenges of running a billion-dollar defense company at such a critical time for America. The response to his appearance was overwhelming. Like me, people were encouraged and inspired by what Ethan is doing. They wanted to hear more about the former knife maker who dropped out of MIT to build a better arsenal, and the extraordinary success he’s achieved thus far with Mach Industries. So, I asked Ethan if I could follow up on our conversation with a visit to his factory to learn more about what he was doing to keep America safe.
It was an extraordinary visit, and I’ll show you exactly what I saw in a future episode of a new show I'm working early next year. But today, I want to share an unexpected conversation I had during my visit, with Mach’s head of marketing and communications, a remarkable woman who also happens to be Ethan’s mother, Tamara Thornton.
Watch our full conversation:
