At Brave we believe it is important to bring a voice to the industry where people all along the industrial chain can share their vision for the future of American manufacturing, the struggles they endure, and the passion they feel. We stand to provide a collaborative and productive platform where thought leadership, ideation, and creativity can take center stage. With that we bring our initial Take by Mitch Best ?? who lays out a vision of how American Manufacturing powered by SMBs can lead the country into a new financial growth cycle unlike any other. But to do this - there must be collaboration at scale.... Welcome to Brave Takes. We look forward to hearing from you. Send us a DM or sign up at BRVIND.com/takes to be a contributor. #BeBrave

"Mitch what the hell are you doing?" People from my past career have a tough time wrapping their arms around the materials business and manufacturing in America. When a former banking colleague asked me to explain Brave Industries on a video call last week, I put it in a way that even those outside the industrial sector can get behind. Common sense principals are back. Treating people right is back. Working together is very much back! As a country built by the people, for the people... we must give every single worker the ability to build wealth via vested ownership. Back in the day people had so much pride for their employer. Pension plans made them vested in the success of the business and created a symbiotic loyalty. You could leave your company at 55 and know that you are taken care of for life. Today that is not the case. Turnover is rampant. You can't save your way to retirement. You have to build wealth through assets. Employee ownership creates cohesion, alignment, and an environment for ultimate growth that rewards both entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs alike! Direct Polymers, LLC. has collectively given warehouse employees over $25,000 in distributions since Adam Hill launched the employee equity plan in Q3. And the results have been staggering from a growth perspective but more importantly - culture perspective. It is time to flip the script. #BeBrave

Just getting started over here…
Happy to announce that, in collaboration with Triton Ties (Greg Janson), we were able to divert 1,260 lbs of wide-spec olefin-grade plastic in 4 total linear feet of space, as well as reduce carbon footprint and deforestation. This material will remain in place for the next 30+ years, will cost consumers nothing, and will then be re-recycled into new rail ties. More details to come soon but big thank you to all involved. You wanna solve plastics diversion and carbon reduction for plastics, here you go world! “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication” -Da Vinci #BeBrave Tim Ridderbos

Marketing Director | Storyteller & Brand Builder | Passionate About Customer-Centric Growth
Being hands-on in this industry has completely shifted my perspective. Two weeks ago, I had the opportunity to visit Direct Polymers, LLC. in Denver, CO, where I saw firsthand the processes I had only heard about before. The experience reinforced something important—I’m a visual learner. All the concepts I’d learned in previous roles really clicked once I could see them in action. Though I gained valuable insights throughout the visit, one moment stood out: about 30 minutes before I had to leave for the airport, I took some time to walk around and capture content on my own. During that time, I saw the Direct Polymers team working seamlessly together. As I introduced myself, everyone greeted me warmly and with genuine smiles. Direct Polymers approaches things differently—they get the job done, but in a way I’ve never encountered before. I’m incredibly grateful to be part of such a welcoming and humble team, & this is just the beginning of my journey!! ????????

We all talk about our why… For many (including me) it’s family, community, a mission, a higher calling - you name it. I’ve taken this whole career thing kind of in reverse. I worked in the big banks, then tech, and where it all led me was to the industrial sector. The reason for that is quite simple. It is the backbone of America. It is what will drive our future and create our purpose as a generation and a nation. What I saw when I was working on exit planning at the banks was the power of employee equity in a business and more importantly the power of a great succession plan (or one at all). What I saw in tech was a generational divide that needs to be gapped via a combination of the physical and digital world. Where that led me was to the realization that if my children ever want to retire (hell if I ever want to retire) - we need to create a path to wealth creation for the next generation and liquidity generation for the current generation of entrepreneurs. By taking legacy businesses / infrastructure and optimizing it with opportunity - we will create a new growth engine for SMBs. This growth engine will be propelled by generations collaborating and transitioning. This will reward intrepreneurship as well as make entrepreneurship possible for generations to come. This is v1 of the Brave Industries Black Paper. This is our why. This is our how. We build together.

Yesterday I drove through Western PA - home of some of the grittiest humans on planet earth including Brad Best! As I was driving through some of the small towns that once housed large steel mills and manufacturing facilities - I tried to imagine what it was like growing up in a time where every main street in America was lively and the products that we used were made not so far away. Continuing my drive through Eastern OH - I saw much of what I saw in PA, boarded up brick stores fronts on what appeared to be once great small towns. Settled right behind these baron main streets were vacant factories... The cause and the effect in one glance. America has the power to re ignite the power of these small towns by truly re becoming a manufacturing economy which empowers the middle class. There is a way to do this that isn't inflationary (rather it would be deflationary). The answer is circularity in manufacturing. When people think circular - they think ESG. That is wrong. The Sustainability push of the last decade has been rooted in PR stunts, virtue signaling, and misinformation. It has indeed not been profitable and actually hurt the circular economy in many ways more than it has helped it. Circularity is about making things (high quality things) with the recycled materials available in our own back yards. By utalizing hub and spoke models that eliminate long haul logistics costs and optimize conversion costs of facilities, we can create an economy that is not just Circular but very much Profitable. Circular must be profitable, or it will not work. But this takes collaboration at scale. We must build together. We must #BeBrave... that is what this is all about! Brave Industries
