Today I had the opportunity to meet with Jon Dufresne. After leaving the Military, Jon got into Executive Protection and transitioned into the world of coaching and firearms instruction. In my mind, Dufresne is who I would consider "A Coach's Coach".  We get into all kinds of stuff during this episode which was recorded off-site in Las Vegas at SHOT SHOW 2023. Whether you're already a Duffy fan , interested in becoming a Ranger or learning more about the world of firearms instruction and coaching this episode will be a good listen. Dufresne does a solid job of breaking down how he went from a broke South-Florida resident to one of the most respected instructors in the states.
