Kris “Tanto” Paronto joins Sean on the podcast. Of course they talk about Benghazi, Kris’ experience there and his interactions with Glen, but they also talked a lot about Kris’ life before and after. Everything from growing up in a football household, to joining the military, to now owning a vodka brand and all the challenges associated with it. If you’re at all interested in the events in Libya and what happened after, be sure to give this a listen. Kris doesn’t hold back and it’s an incredible story.
