Episode 021 – Benjamin Bunn, Owner of Cigar City CrossFit and Former Green Beret
Video
Description
Ben Bunn joins Jason and Rich in studio — also known as the champagne room — at GORUCK HQ for Episode 021. Growing up in the Tampa area, Ben was the last person anyone would have pegged as a future Green Beret. He took an unexpected and interesting route to active service in the military and quite literally grew into his future roles in the Army and Special Operations, growing 3 inches and putting on 50 pounds during his first deployment. From High School pranks to thoughtful, strong leadership in his hometown communities, this “Team Room style” conversation covers his life of service in and out of uniform, entrepreneurship and life as a small business owner, and listening, training and dealing with challenges and the changes of the present moment with honesty, bravery and hard work.
Ben founded Cigar City CrossFit in Tampa, FL which he has worked hard to build into a strong community and says “is not a place, it’s a people.” He also works with nonprofits, small businesses and entrepreneurs as a consultant, and recently joined Bravo Sierra personal care products. Through all this and his many roles in the military up to and including as Platoon Leader, he maintains his hardest job to date is being a father.
