In this episode, I have the privilege to speak with Matthew DeMaio. Matt served five years in the United States Marine Corps, where he worked as an Infantry team leader in grounds, vehicle operations, static security, urban operations, and patrols. He achieved Sergeant’s rank and received two meritorious promotions and six commendation awards.

After returning from deployment in SE Africa, Matt attended college and spent nights tinkering in his Long Island kitchen with a clear mission: he wanted to create the nutrition bar that he desperately searched and yearned for while serving in the physically demanding combat zone. Five years later, Matt is the proud Founder and CEO of Condition One Nutrition, and his bars are widely received in the military, fitness, and outdoor communities.
