Uncertainty is everywhere right now. From global instability to personal and financial stress, many people are being told the answer is to simply “learn to tolerate the unknown.”

I disagree.

In this episode of the Act ASAP Podcast, I explore a different approach—one shaped by decades of military leadership, disaster response, and lived experience. The truth is, uncertainty itself isn’t the real problem. The real problem is failing to prepare for what we already know.

In this conversation, we break down why preparedness creates calm, how structure reduces anxiety, and why confidence under pressure isn’t accidental—it’s trained. I share personal stories from my time as a U.S. Army Senior Infantry Drill Sergeant, lessons learned from the Loma Prieta earthquake, and practical insights you can apply immediately in your family, business, or community.

This isn’t about fear.
It’s about leadership.
Because it is always better to prepare than to repair.

🎧 Listen now, reflect honestly, and decide where preparation could bring more calm into your life.
