John Wick would be Jealous with this Business Model w/ Parker Tomassi [Business Makers Podcast]

He spent 13 years as a Marine combat engineer officer — building a base camp for over 5,000 Afghan refugees during the Kabul withdrawal and running the Marine Corps's biggest live-fire range, training 50,000 Marines a year. Then he got out, found an abandoned 500-acre shooting range that had been shut down for 5 years, and bought it — sight unseen.

In this episode of Business Makers Network, hosts Charlton Haupt and Gabriel Rench talk with Parker Tomassi, founder of Legacy Ranch Shooting Range (https://lrshooting.com) & Legacy Arms Gun Store (https://www.legacy-arms.com) in Edgewood, New Mexico, about:
🎖️ 13 years of active duty, including the Afghanistan withdrawal
🔫 Buying a shuttered range with zero business experience (a psychology degree, not an MBA)
🚀 300 people showing up on soft-opening day
🎬 The John Wick-themed retail room, weddings, and film shoots happening on-site
🏆 What it means to be a "double distinguished" competitive marksman
✝️ Building a business that puts Christ and community first

If Parker's story of courage, risk, and faith-driven growth hits home, this is exactly the kind of leader Business Makers Network exists to support.

From the team behind Fight Laugh Feast USA, this collection of shows operates from a central, compelling conviction: that Jesus Christ is Lord over every corner of our existence. That idea isn't just for Sunday mornings; it's for the political debates, the cultural shifts, the kitchen table conversations, and the daily news cycle. Each episode across this network of conversations brings that perspective to bear on the world as it is. You'll hear hosts and guests grapple with current events, analyze cultural trends, and discuss the challenges of modern life, all through a lens of robust faith that isn't afraid to engage. The tone here isn't monolithic-it can be pointed and principled in one moment, joyful and celebratory in the next, reflecting the full range of a life lived with conviction. Tuning into this podcast means encountering thoughtful dialogue that refuses to separate the sacred from the seemingly ordinary, always anchored in the proclamation that every part of life falls under a sovereign claim. It’s for those who want their news and commentary served with depth, a bit of wit, and a foundational hope that shapes how they see everything else.
