From undercover narcotics operations to revolutionizing firearms training, Brian Stahl takes us through his remarkable 20-year journey in law enforcement and his unexpected pivot to politics.

Brian's career path took many unexpected turns—from scholarship football player sidelined by injury to deep undercover narcotics investigator who faced down drug dealers with guns in his face. Throughout his story, a common thread emerges: communication saves lives. Whether talking down armed suspects or building rapport with informants, Brian's ability to connect with people proved invaluable in his police work.

The conversation shifts to Brian's groundbreaking work in firearms training, where he's helping transform how officers prepare for real-world encounters. He explains why static range training fails officers in dynamic situations and how red dot technology has dramatically improved accuracy rates from a dismal 20% to nearly 80%. Brian challenges outdated training philosophies like "slow is smooth, smooth is fast," arguing that officers need to train at speed to perform under pressure.

Most surprisingly, Brian reveals his current campaign for U.S. Congress. Drawing on his experience in law enforcement, he advocates for transparency, accountability, and better communication between elected officials and constituents. His vision includes judicial reform addressing revolving-door bail policies and greater support for first responders through improved training and equipment.

Through personal anecdotes about family sacrifice, career setbacks, and unexpected opportunities, Brian's story offers powerful lessons about servant leadership and adapting to change. Whether in policing or politics, his message remains consistent: effective service requires listening to people's needs and communicating solutions clearly.
