Mountain Up

Climb 2 Glory! Ryan, Founder of Mountain Up, circa July 2015 near Mountain Rainer in Washington State. Did you know the originally 10th Mountain trained there in preparation for WW2? In picture: Ryan sports the 10th Mountaun Signature Hat.

?? It hasn’t always been perfect. A lot of failing forward. But the gratitude I feel... I honestly can’t express enough. ???? To the Mountain Up community — thank you for guiding, shaping, and standing by me, even after the uniform came off. This is more than gear. This is family. This is a journey! ?? www.pandocommando.com #MountainUp #VeteranCommunity #FailForward #PostMilitaryLife #GratitudeInAction

Congratulations to Donnell Johns Sr. and the Veterans Growing America team on their ribbon-cutting ceremony yesterday! ?? They continue their mission of providing a platform for Veterans and Military Spouses to grow their businesses. Through local events and marketing, they actively engage with the veteran business community, empowering veteran entrepreneurs with the support they need to succeed. Certificates were presented on behalf of Councilmember Laurie-Anne Sayles, Councilmember Marilyn Balcombe, the County Executive, and the Governor. Let’s give a big round of applause to Donnell and the team for reaching this milestone. Thank you for investing in our community and supporting veteran entrepreneurs in Clarksburg!

The most heart wrenching episode in BLK OPS yet! #theequalizer

The war is real. Remember my friends: Planning is everything. The plan is nothing. And to win wars, Hunt for my (Ryan Hunt) 7 Values. Hunt for collabration. Hunt for transparency. Hunt for respect. Hunt for transparency. Hunt for creativity. Hunt for growth. Hunt for the good stuff. Hunt for a value adding mindset. And when worst comes to worse, fight, fight, fight with the ferociousness of a lion ?? Picture of my John Wick Moment courtesy of Luke M. . This post is powered by Mountain Up and Tenth Mountain ???

A snippett from my interview yesterday with 15-ish minutes coffee with Selena Conmackie + Anna Larson. If you missed it check it, it was a lot of fun and we talk about entrepreneurship and the new definition of veteran. And some selfless plugs: Institute for Veterans and Military Families - IVMF for selecting to be an ambassador. Although truth be told, I have been an advocate for you all way before being a “Bunker Labs” Ambassador. Third Day Coffee Seguin for filling my cup with a bag that has withstood the test of time.
