In the backdrop of the tumultuous last three years, our latest podcast episode delves into a profound realization – the undeniable right to shape our own destinies. Meet Mike Rapson, a former law enforcement professional who boldly turned away from his established career when the encroachment of lockdowns, mandates, and vaccinations became "Non-Negotiable." In this pivotal moment, Mike and his wife Jen embraced their own unwavering stance, giving rise to a transformative business.
This isn't just another clothing line; it's a narrative that prompts introspection about how we, as individuals, define our lives. As societal awareness awakens, questions arise about the choices we make. In the podcast, Mike poses a poignant question: Where have the real men gone—those who champion family, faith, and freedom? The episode serves as a testament to the notion that the right decision is often the most challenging. Yet, in uncovering the truth, we also unearth the strength to stand firm and be "Non-Negotiable." It's a compelling exploration of the importance of asserting our autonomy and resisting external pressures to carve out lives on our own terms. And by doing so creating a life that’s far better than one could imagine.

Mike Rapson is a former police officer of 17-years, and Co-Owner & Founder of Non-Negotiable Brand along with his Wife Jen. Mike left his career in policing during the height of the covid mandates, and his wife was also fired as a 9-year Pediatric Nurse.
Non-Negotiable Brand was created for those who felt alone, lost and or abandoned to find comfort and safety in just simply wearing the original "Non-Negotiable Freedom" collection. Knowing full-well that many remain silent due to fear, peer/professional or family pressures, Non-Negotible Brand helps them build their own confidence and voices and feeling part of something bigger.
Mike and Jen continue to operate Non-Negotiable Brand from their own moral compass, convictions in Family, Faith and Freedom.
