This week our guest is Jason Beck, the founder and owner of TYR Tactical located in Peoria, Arizona. TYR Tactical provides tactical gear to law enforcement and military all over the world and has seen consistent growth under Jason’s leadership. In our conversation, he provides a very frank description of his life growing up in an abusive home and discusses the individuals and experiences which have helped to shape him into who he is today. We cover his youth, his time in the US Marine Corps, his decade of work with the Gracie family at the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy, and then into his current vocation which mixes his love of design and his passion for innovation and combative techniques.
