What if doing hard sh*t on purpose was the fastest way to build a multi-company empire? In this hard-hitting Dropping Bombs episode, Buck Holly—Marine veteran, world champion shooter, and founder of C&H Precision—goes from broke farm kid in Minnesota to leading multi-million-dollar plays in precision manufacturing, software, and performance nutrition. He built gear warfighters trust (red-dot pistol optics, optic mounting plates, limited-run pistols), invented early drone tech as a defense contractor, and hires misfits with grit over pedigree. Buck says it straight: comfort destroys success, real-world exposure crushes racism and homophobia, and the government keeps people divided on race and guns so they never build anything that lasts.

Then he hands you the operator’s playbook: buy the machine you’ll need next year, overstaff so you never miss demand, and when suppliers squeeze you—build it in-house. He’s rolling out AIM Software to replace agency spreadsheet chaos, expanding BullyWerx to manufacture parts and run youth EV kit programs that teach real manufacturing, and pushing Ruck Pack (featured on Shark Tank) to fuel performance without junk. If you’re done with fragile supply chains, influencer gear, and borrowed narratives, steal Buck’s model—do hard sh*t, make it easy to buy, and build companies that outlast trends.
