Oscar Mike Radio - 505 – Greg Potapenko – Tactical Snacks

<p>I met Greg Potapenko at Military Creator Con 2026. HisTactical Snack Packs were key to getting through the long days, and I wanted to learn more. </p><p>Greg is a Canadian Army veteran and founder of TacticalSnacks. He talks with me about military service, entrepreneurship, and what happens when you take the skills developed in uniform and apply them to a newmission.</p><p>Greg served 23 years in the Canadian Army, retiring as awarrant officer before transitioning into the business world. Like many veterans, leaving the military didn&#39;t mean he was finished serving. Instead, Greg found a new way to support the military and first responder communities through entrepreneurship.</p><p>We talk about the story behind Tactical Snacks, a healthiersnack brand created with military personnel and first responders in mind. Greg wanted to build something that wasn&#39;t just about food. Tactical Snacks is also about morale, connection, and creating a brand that understands the people it serves.</p><p>Greg also brings extensive experience in digital marketingand business acquisitions to the conversation. We discuss what he&#39;s learned about entrepreneurship, why staying focused matters when building a business, and the importance of creating a community around your mission instead of simply trying to sell a product.</p><p>What I especially enjoyed about this conversation is howGreg has taken the leadership, discipline, and mission-focused mindset developed during 23 years of military service and carried those qualities into his next chapter.</p><p>And he&#39;s just getting started.</p><p>Greg shares his plans to continue growing Tactical Snacks,including the goal of bringing the brand onto U.S. military installations through the AAFES system.</p><p>From Canadian Army warrant officer to veteran entrepreneur,Greg&#39;s story demonstrates that leaving the military doesn&#39;t mean leaving the mission behind. Sometimes it simply means finding a new way to serve.</p><p>Go to <a href="https://tactical-snacks.com/">https://tactical-snacks.com/ </a>to learn more!</p><p>Thank you, Greg, for joining me on Oscar Mike Radio, sharingyour story, and continuing to support the military and first responder communities.</p><p>We are Mission in Flight!</p>
