This week on the Black Rifle Coffee Podcast, Logan Stark sits down with AG Gregoroff, founder of Toehold Flip Flops, for one of the most wild and jaw-dropping conversations we’ve had yet. AG opens up about growing up in a violent gang-infested neighborhood, selling guns as a teenager, and facing 16 years in prison after a corrupt drug raid changed his life forever. After two years behind bars, he walked free and built a life defined by obsession, discipline, and legacy. Now the founder of one of the most premium flip flop companies on the planet, AG shares how his father’s final words fueled a mission he refuses to quit. If you’re an entrepreneur, a veteran, or someone chasing redemption this episode is a must listen.
