Sony is doing some truly amazing things with his brand Sixsight. He continually generates quite a bit of content that is highly educational, free and has everything to do with becoming a more effective Protector. What I like about him most is that he also contributes to people's soft skills. The cool thing about soft skills is simply that they are the skills that anyone can implement no matter how...

Matt Pech is a man on a mission to make a difference. By battling his own demons and by winning the fight with himself first, he has become a force multiplier in the war to save veterans and help people unlock their own potential. It was such an honor to sit down with him for a few minutes to dig into not only the tools he’s used in making the most of his struggle but also the different tools he’s...

Paul Lozada is the real deal and these days that’s very difficult to find. His exploits on the street chasing fugitives and as an undercover cop will blow your mind. Beyond all of this his work with a number of extremely successful Hollywood films it’s truly something that is the work of legends. Movies such as Training Day, Men on Fire, Tears of the Sun and The Equalizer are some of the movies he...

Fabio is a perfect example of what one civilian can do if he truly wants to become an elite Protector. One of the things I love about him the most is simply that he is a civilian who has chosen a path that has empowered him to perform at some of the highest levels in the game with regards to not only professional protection at times but also he also empowers others to become efficient protectors a...

California range weekend is going to be out of this world. The talent that Antonio is bringing out into one place is something I don’t think has been done in California on the range ever before. California is an interesting place to be a gun owner because while we have some of the strictest rules we actually have one of the best gun cultures in the United States here. We have so many talented worl...

Remi is a man I truly respect for many reasons and on many levels. His book took me on a journey within his life that allowed me to see myself from various angles. The transformation that has taken place in his life has made him an amazing example of a man for many of us to take note of. His character, consistency and follow through with his goals is something that we can all truly learn quite a b...

Thomas Praxedes is easily one of the best Marines I had the honor of serving with. He was my big brother when I got to my unit 31 Lima company weapons platoon. He was a stand-out Fallujah marine and he was with me as we kicked off the battle for Haditha and Iraq. I was literally in his squad as we ran into the city behind tanks and trenches we had just blown through a minefield at something like 3...

James Guthrie AKA 'Machete James' is a good God-fearing family man. One day he was simply doing his job at work when a machete-wielding customer enters the building bent on killing him and a few of his coworkers. The fight to save his life and the lives of those in his immediate environment was brutal, fast-paced and totally caught on camera. I won’t tell you what happened because I want you to li...

If you ever need to watch how Craig Douglas teaches then you had better have trained it. This is the formula one of personal protection that most do not teach or cannot teach realistically. Craig Douglas has an amazing background spending decades of studentship, instructorship and training elite fighting forces around the world. He is probably the foremost instructor within his niche when it comes...

Ryan of Breaking Barriers United (https://www.breakingbarriersunited.com/) is one officer that I believe is truly doing God's work. We are currently dealing with a bombardment of divisive narratives, theories and ideas these days that simply do not solve the problems they talk about or make us stronger as a human race. For a number of reasons, there has been quite a bit of social engineering devot...

This episode with Emily Chen was truly a special one. It is a real-world story of sex trafficking that took place within her life. At first glance, you may think this is something she experienced in another country but that would be incorrect. It actually happened right here in America at an upper-class ZIP Code and in a place where most of us would least expect it. Many Americans fail to realize...

Alex is one of the most impressive men I have met in a while in many ways. Almost every guest that has been on our shell has many amazing qualities and usually accomplishments to go along with it but the things I see in Alex are the things I hope to see more in the world around us these days. He has a big heart and he’s been in the belly of the beast long enough to know how important it is to hold...

Trung is truly a visionary and the type of warrior I really like to feature on this podcast. Being a protector is very much about being tactically proficient but it has so much more to do with so many other things. Most specifically soft skills, mindset, your paradigm and your perspective will dictate your tactics on the battlefield of life and I don’t just mean in a gunfight. If you don’t have th...

Erich Schmidt is a good friend who I’ve known for many years. We’ve seen each other evolve in different directions of the protection game for well over a decade now and it’s always an honor when we get to work together.

Michael Janich is a living legend when it comes to martial arts. He’s been in the game for about as long as I’ve been alive and has been featured in many publications over the span of a few decades. It’s a rare occasion to have an opportunity to learn from men like this and so I consider it to be such an honor that he took time to speak with me on our podcast. Integrated Combatives is something th...

Tom Leitner of Adaptiv Concepts is many things, the modern-day mountain man, Combatives Instructor, Tactical Driving Instructor, edged Weapon self-defense practitioner and it’s truly all very impressive. What interests me most however about this man is his philosophies, ethos, and his paradigm. Many of us who have seen the Darkside of the moon already know that an individual‘s mindset is what real...

Joanna is a different type of tactical instructor. She’s not a Navy seal, law enforcement, or special forces operative of any type but rather she is a woman who has experienced the evil she now fights against. As she travels across the United States aiming to contribute to the protection IQ of everyday people, she brings with her a gift that came at a high price.… Experience. She has been honored...

Jason - is a breath of fresh air for me every time I speak with him. He’s a man that lives by old codes and he's old school when it comes to a number of things and I always appreciate those attributes. He has perfected the art of throwing knives to a point of almost supernatural ability. Watching him do what he does with blades it’s like watching a magic show, a butcher shop, and a western movie a...
