No Fixed Agenda

Kris “Tanto” Paronto joins Sean on the podcast. Of course they talk about Benghazi, Kris’ experience there and his interactions with Glen, but they also talked a lot about Kris’ life before and after. Everything from growing up in a football household, to joining the military, to now owning a vodka brand and all the challenges associated with it. If you’re at all interested in the events in Libya and what happened after, be sure to give this a listen. Kris doesn’t hold back and it’s an incredible story.   Chapters 00:00 Navigating the Challenges of the Alcohol Business 11:26 The Difference Between Military Brotherhood and the Civilian World 34:09 From Athlete to Military: Finding the Right Path 43:51 Perseverance and Success as a Contractor 54:44 Finding Joy and Laughter in Challenging Situations 01:15:15 The Arrival of Reinforcements and Devastating Mortar Attacks 01:25:21 Telling the Story Accurately: Motivation Behind the Book and Movie 01:33:40 Overcoming Challenges: Fighting for Creative Control 01:45:04
