Ep. 63: Crew Cast #4
On this episode of the Liberty Risk Podcast, the boys are finally back in the studio together after spending the last month scattered across the country.
Nick talks about being in Las Vegas shooting $5,000 pistols with UFC fighters, race car drivers, and the crew from Black Rifle Coffee, only to spend the next two days trapped in airport chaos during EDC weekend. Things somehow get worse when a man in the TSA line suffers what can only be described as a catastrophic systems failure, bringing security operations to a complete halt.
Meanwhile, Kevin spends a month in New York filming A Quiet Place III, bouncing between film sets, dive bars, steak dinners, and random encounters that somehow turn into conversations about politics, Hollywood, and the future of New York City.
Ryan heads to North Carolina to talk business, apparel, and entrepreneurship, while quietly plotting the next phase of world domination for Liberty Risk and Industry Threadworks.
Along the way, the boys get into:
• The future of Black Rifle Coffee and a surprisingly candid speech from Evan Hafer
• Airport horror stories and why Vegas may be the ninth circle of hell
• Kevin's adventures in New York while working on A Quiet Place III
• Staccatos, apocalypse guns, and practical firearm setups
• Naval traditions, red stripes, shellbacks, and why the best stories usually start with bad decisions
• New Liberty Risk merch, challenge coins, and upcoming releases
• Competitive shooting, sniper matches, and getting humbled by the clock
• A billionaire, a chauffeured car ride, and one of the strangest security stories we've ever heard
Same Liberty Risk format - dark humor, questionable decisions, nonstop side quests, and the kind of conversations that somehow bounce between airport disasters, business lessons, military stories, and life without ever feeling out of place.
No guest. No agenda.
Just three friends catching up after a month apart and sharing the stories, lessons, and adventures they've collected along the way.

His career spans global operations with the CIA, State Department, and DoD, followed by over 15 years in marketing and creative leadership.
From helicopters to film sets, he's built a reputation on precision, adaptability, and a relentless drive to get the shot - whether behind a rifle or a camera.
Kevin Kent
MEET KEVIN
Chief Special Warfare Operator Kevin Kent (BUD/S Class 200) spent 21 years in the SEAL Teams, mostly with Team 5, completing 9 combat deployments across war zones while racking up a medal haul that’d make a North Korean general jealous - though he somehow dodged the Good Conduct Medal (red stripes say it all).
After retiring, Kevin pivoted to Hollywood as an actor, stuntman, weapons trainer, and military advisor on productions like Fast X, Netflix’s Obliterated, and Jack Ryan.
He founded K-Squared Productions, directed award-winning short films, and runs high-risk executive protection gigs when he's not behind a camera. Based in San Diego, he’s a proud husband of 22 years and father to three grown kids - still thriving in the chaos, just with better lighting.
