Summary: Rob Dyer wants to RUCK - YOU UP! Major Rob Dyer started RuckPack energy drink while serving in the US military. While protecting our freedoms & rights he was also looking for a way to help his fellow servicemen rise to peak performance without using some of the crash-prone, caffeine-laden energy drinks on the market. Fast forward a few years and RuckPack is dominating . "Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent." ~Calvin Coolidge Rob Dyer's story is pretty fascinating. He was originally rejected by Shark Tank, he was on the verge of quitting numerous times, but through it all the "marine" mindset and the will to push forward ultimately paid huge dividends. Lets not forget this is all while holding a full-time job in the military...not exactly the most flexible place for a little side hustle. What's your excuse for not succeeding? Like Rob said to Daymond in this session, "He will wish he went with the Marine!" Jump IN! Session 33 of Shark Tank Podcast is sponsored by: Have you been going out with a loaded gun?
