Show Notes
The lifestyle brand, Grunt Style, was born out of a desire to share the patriotic values instilled during the civilian world's enlistment. Founder Daniel Elric made it his goal to show pride for his country and himself and thought an apparel based company would be a great way to do it.
Along the way, Tim and Daniel learned that the best companies were all about building great teams. With that insight leading their approach, they grew from five employees to one hundred within two years.
They've established themselves as more than just an apparel company, but one focused on pride. To help support that mission, Grunt Style has expanded its efforts to giving back to the community. One of their most notable endeavors has been through the support of veterans affected by toxic exposure.
