    May 22 2025
    In this episode of The MisFitNation, host Rich LaMonica sits down with US Navy Veteran Dustin Hayes, a man whose journey embodies resilience, perseverance, and transformation. From dropping out of high school to fighting alongside Navy SEALs, Dustin has faced life’s harshest challenges head-on. After being medically retired from the Navy, he built a multimillion-dollar construction business, only to lose it all and find himself homeless. But his story didn’t end there. At his lowest point, coffee became his lifeline—a simple cup was the motivation he needed to keep moving forward. That experience led to the creation of Red White & Badass Brew, a brand that fuels veterans and patriots with more than just caffeine—it fuels purpose, drive, and resilience. Dustin shares his incredible story of survival, rebuilding from nothing, and finding new purpose. He now dedicates his life to helping other veterans rediscover their path, proving that setbacks don’t define you—your comeback does. 🔥 Tune in as we discuss: ✅ Lessons from the battlefield to business ✅ Overcoming rock-bottom moments ✅ The power of purpose and community ✅ How coffee became a life-saving mission Check out Dustin and Red White and Badass Brew here: https://rwbbcoffee.com/ Join us for this powerful, no-holds-barred conversation on The MisFitNation! 🚀☕ 🇺🇸 🔔 Subscribe & Watch Now: https://www.youtube.com/@The_MisFitNation 🎧Become a part of The MisFitNation https://linktr.ee/themisfitnation Want to be a guest on The MisFitNation?

Ben’s story begins with zero prior experience with dogs before the Air Force assigned him to be a canine handler.

His skills led him to an elite Secret Service mission, providing security for President Trump in 2020. Inspired by conversations with Secret Service K9 handlers, Ben pursued an opportunity with them—only to have the door close at the last minute. Instead of letting that setback define him, Ben pivoted to dog training as a career, realizing it was both profitable and deeply fulfilling. Taking a leap of faith, he and his wife relocated to Tampa, Florida, ranked as one of the most dog-friendly cities in the U.S., to turn his passion into a full-time business. 🔥 In this episode, Ben shares: ✅ What it takes to become a military K9 handler ✅ The high-stakes reality of Secret Service security missions ✅ How he turned a failed career opportunity into entrepreneurial success ✅ The challenges and rewards of starting a business from scratch ✅ Expert dog training tips for owners struggling with obedience & behavior Ben’s story is an inspiring reminder that life’s detours often lead to the best destinations.
