Bio:

Scott Howell is a lifelong coach and human performance expert who launched the Iron Sights Podcast from the heart of Red Dot Fitness. Originally created to provide straightforward health and training insights for clients, Scott’s vision expanded when he recognized a critical disconnect between the fitness industry and the tactical community, despite shared physical challenges. What emerged was After Dark, a breakout segment featuring candid conversations with first responders, veterans, and everyday guardians about mindset, mission, and mastery. Today, Iron Sights reaches thousands of loyal listeners across the U.S., sparking real talk in gyms, agencies, and homes—and opening doors to speaking engagements, training partnerships, and a thriving community dedicated to strength, preparedness, and resilience.
