Today we will sit down with Rice Louis. Rice Louis is a speaker and Founder of Warriors Landing LLC. Rice began getting serious about self-defense and safety when she noticed somebody targeting her children for abduction. As a result, she sought out training for herself. Which then led to getting training and certifications to help other women. Her goal is to help the most targeted demographic for violence, women and children. She has created a space dealing with one aspect of self-defense: firearms. Rice has helped hundreds of women (and men) overcome the fear of gun ownership, gain competency, dust the cobwebs off their pistols, earn their CCW licenses, and become active participants in their safety. Rice is a gifted teacher known for taking the terrifying aspect of gun ownership and helping students gain self-assurance and credentials to protect themselves and their loved ones legally and safely. She is busy creating new recipes and homeschooling her five children when she is not teaching about firearm safety and use. You can find out more about Rice at RiceLouis.com.

Join me today for a discussion with Walt Settlemyre the Host of The Distinguished Savage Podcast. Walt Settlemyre is a US Army veteran serving with the 25th ID for the majority of his 4 years active duty. After the Army he followed several career paths along with higher education but was always missing something meaningful!   Looking for purpose he initially found Fire Service and ultimately Emergency Medical Services as a Paramedic. With 30 years now as a Paramedic in 911 systems the vast majority of that time has been spent in EMS Special Operations as both a Tactical Medic and Rescue Medic. Until recently the last 20 years was focused more on the Rescue side of the house including swift water, and swift water boat operations, rope rescue, high angle, structural collapse, trench rescue, infectious disease response, and Search and Rescue.   After an injury made it difficult to remain in Special Operations and moving in to Field Operations on a regular ambulance he then focused both on teaching Tactical and Austere Med Courses to civilians and on revamping the defensive tactics program for his department, Austin Travis Co EMS. The program he helped build now consists of elements from different defensive tactics methodologies that flow well together. Situational awareness and deescalation, Tony Blauers Spear, Gracie Survival Tactics, Jon Burke’s P4 program, and elements of the Shivworks Collective’s Managing Unknown Contacts as well as fighting in an enclosed and entangled environment as in the back of an ambulance, where a majority of assaults on EMS personnel occur.   Two years ago he also started a podcast, The Distinguished Savage in an effort to talk to other like minded individuals on self defense, EDC, critical thinking skills, along with people’s story. Now nearing retirement in EMS he’s looking towards moving in to executive protection and continuing the podcast!   8Distinguished Savage Podcast: The Distinguished Savage Podcast on Apple Podcastshttps://podcasts.apple.com › podcast › the-distinguished...   Coffee with Rich Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/rhodieusmc/videos American Warrior Show: https://americanwarriorshow.com/index.html SWAG: https://shop.americanwarriorsociety.com/ American Warrior Society please visit: https://americanwarriorsociety.com/
