The Journey of Empty Brass

The Journey of Empty Brass

Author: CJ Boxrud October 24, 2019 Duration: 0:00
Meet your host from Empty Brass CJ Boxrud and the journey that has brought me to where I am today.  Being a Podcast host and shooter have over time fused together and evolved over the course of the last year.  I have been extremely lucky, beyond even my wildest imagination to have shot with and talked to the people I have in the gun community this year.  Some have large followings, and some have small ones, but all my guests have large contributions to the community of gun owners.  This episode is a small break down of the the journey from the last couple of years, and what lead me to create Empty Brass, and how I have evolved since it was created.  Talking about yourself in an empty room really isn't something I enjoy doing, but in order for new listeners to learn a little bit about me, I found it necessary to have this episode on season 1.  If you have any questions feel free to shoot me a direct message at @cj_glocksrud on Instagram or if you prefer email you can send me message at chrisboxrud@gmail.com

Host CJ Boxrud noticed something about the conversation around firearms: it’s often squeezed into sixty-second Instagram clips, leaving little room for nuance or depth. EMPTY BRASS was created to change that, offering a dedicated space for the community to engage in the longer discussions that matter. This podcast moves beyond the soundbites, providing a platform where certified instructors can break down complex topics for newcomers in clear, accessible detail. At the same time, seasoned shooters and enthusiasts will find value in hearing extended conversations with veterans, law enforcement professionals, and other voices from within the Second Amendment community. Each episode aims to foster a more informed dialogue, covering practical skills, current events, and the broader cultural and political landscape that surrounds responsible firearm ownership. By focusing on substance over snippets, EMPTY BRASS serves as a resource for anyone looking to deepen their understanding, whether they’re just starting out or have years of experience. It’s a direct response to the need for a thoughtful, long-form audio destination in a landscape often dominated by fleeting social media posts. Tune in for straightforward talk, free from the usual online noise.
