On this episode, Soju, John Chinaman, and podcast newcomer Hi-C talk to Jesse from Hevalti Tactical! Jesse makes innovative gear, shoots IDPA and USPSA competitively, and has a brown belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. You may recognize Jesse’s gear from Tacticool Girlfriend and his Instagram. Jesse explains to us his minimalist design philosophy and the challenges in being a “leftist” gear maker. And right now, there’s a lot of challenges in starting a business making quality gear. A conversation with Jesse wouldn’t be complete without discussing competitive shooting. Jesse’s excellent at it, but even for a newer shooter, hear him explain why it’s a good way to challenge yourself and hone your skills. If this sounds like it’s for you, Jesse tells you how to get involved. The last of Jesse’s passions we discussed is his considerable experience in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. It’s an excellent way to stay fit and learn unarmed self defense skills. If you’re in Jesse’s area, don’t hesitate to reach out, because he’s itching to share knowledge. And the most important lesson we learned in our conversation — let your own failures inspire you.
