Thanksgiving Special: From Apache pilot to founding Arbo's Cheese Dip, meet the Commander in Cheese!

Thanksgiving gatherings and football games have us in the mood for food! So, we’re serving up the story of Army veteran Andrew Arbogast, who went from flying combat missions to building Arbo’s Cheese Dip into a national success.  We start with some epic memories from inside the Apache cockpit- the world’s most advanced attack helicopter. Arbogast also recalls enjoying care packages filled with meats and cheeses on a Forward Operating Base in Afghanistan, and how those moments eventually inspired him to take a chance on creating a business. He also explains how Bunker Labs, veteran business development programs, played a pivotal role in the explosive growth of Arbo’s Cheese Dip. He shares how they provided the training and connections he needed to expand his home-based business into a cheese dip brand that’s now available nationwide! Plus, we hear about his appearance at the 2023 CMA Awards, and his encounter with Country superstar Jelly Roll.   Find Arbo's Cheese Dip at a retailer near you: https://www.arboscheesedip.com/ Are you a veteran looking to start a business?
