On today’s episode, Jack is joined by veterans and entrepreneurs, Scott Neil and Mark Nutsch. 
 
Mark Nutsch served in the Army as a Special Forces officer. Scott Neil is a retired Green Beret Master Sergeant. Following the attacks of 9/11, they deployed to Afghanistan where their mission led them to traverse the rugged terrain by horseback. Their story was immortalized in the film 12 Strong. 
 
Scott and Mark are also two of the co-founders of American Freedom Distillery, the makers of award-winning Horse Soldier Bourbon.
 
Following a storied career in Special Forces, Scott Neil went on to work with the Green Beret Foundation, developing and launching a transition and resiliency program for veterans called The Next Ridgeline. Scott continues to champion for veterans via senior advisory positions with the Veterans Affairs Committees and the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship. 
 
Mark is the author of the new book, Swords of Lightning: Green Beret Horse Soldiers and America’s Response to 9/11.
