#160 Tim Sheehy - Former Navy SEAL & Aerial Firefighter Breaks Down the Los Angeles Wildfires

Dry sagebrush and high desert fuels, those light fuels, it rips. And the wind shifted direction. The team leader made the right decision to say, with this fire getting out of control, I'm going to get my team out of here. I'm going to move them to a safe zone. Well, unfortunately, he made the right decision, but with the wrong information.

And about, as I was getting out, it was about a year and a half after that event, I read the debrief on it, and I realized as I read through it, had that team leader had the same, you know, 19, that's about how many we'd have on the mission with SEALs, and I couldn't, and in the desert mountains, I was like, I could feel myself in his shoes in Afghanistan, running around with my guys in Afghanistan.

And I said, man, if that team leader had the same tools I had as a team leader in Afghanistan, his team would be alive. So I started my company, Bridge Your Aerospace, to bring that capability. If I could bridge that gap... and provide that kind of data to our firefighters, we could save some lives and do some good. So we started my company. It was another veteran co-founder of mine.

We started my barn with every cent we had, and it was classic, like, shoot first, ask questions later. Like, let's just start a company, and we think we can solve this problem, having no idea what we were getting into. And man, it was an adventure. 10 years, it was awesome. We went from two guys in a barn. We created over 400 jobs all over the world. We split into two companies eventually.

We spun out our technology that was infrared into a defense company that shot down drones. It was very successful. We sold that and then we took our firefighting company public. We're one of the largest aerial firefighting providers in the world now. And then Little Belt Cattle Co., we'll talk about later.

My sniper from my SEAL team runs Little Belt Cattle Co., farm-to-table beef from the time the calf hits the ground to the time, you know, it's processed, never leaves the state of Montana. And it's minimally transported because every time you move that cow, it stresses out the animal. And really proud of the product. It's some of the best beef we're ever going to have.

All veteran-run operation there. And we're really trying to rebuild the American food supply chain because we're sending so much of our food supply chain overseas, and it's so unhealthy for our people. We're an unhealthy country right now. And we're going to do everything we can to make our food here again. But anyway, so back to fires.
