"Stay within your means and never bet what you can’t afford to lose."

Episode Summary

In this episode, Big Keith and I sit down with Graig Davis, founder of NeoMag, to talk about his dedication to American manufacturing, his Second Amendment journey, and the story behind creating one of the most innovative everyday carry products in the firearms industry. From reminiscing about childhood gun cabinets and Thanksgiving traditions to deep dives into engineering, prototyping, and thoughtful product design, Graig shares how a simple need led him from building prototypes in his basement to running a thriving business dedicated to helping Americans protect their families. We also discuss the importance of responsible gun ownership, mentorship in business, and the balance of function versus form in making gear that truly lasts.
