The A Better Way 2A Podcast

In this episode, John Correia, founder of Active Self Protection, shares his journey from being a pastor to becoming a leading self-defense educator on YouTube. He reflects on the challenges of balancing family life and content creation, emphasizing that his mission is to promote responsible self-defense education, not glorify violence. John discusses the fine line between educational content and "violence porn," explaining how he actively works to avoid sensationalism and focus on the consequences of deadly force. He also dives into the importance of inclusivity, emotional intelligence, and mental health, particularly for men, encouraging real-world relationships and healthy emotional expression. Tune in for a conversation that goes beyond self-defense, exploring the deeper responsibilities of content creators and the importance of living with intention.

In this episode, we interview our friend, @Texas_Dane, a former member of the Danish military who now resides in the US.

We discuss his transition to living in the United States and his interest in firearms, especially in regards to biases associated with immigrants and gun ownership. We also touch on the topic of cultural appropriation and the misinterpretation of symbols like Norse runes, and a lot more that you probably don't want to read about in a tiny paragraph and would rather listen to.

In this episode, the lads sit down with self-taught rocket surgeon, Jonathan Wild. Jonathan is the brains behind Wild Arms Research and Development and has been spending his time LEGALLY building rocket launchers, recoilless launchers, and other things that you didn't know you could build without the ATF shooting your dog. We discuss how Jon got started doing this, the effort behind familiarizing himself with the law beforehand and how much cooler it is living in the US than the UK. (kidding sort of)

We discuss the use of 3D printing in his projects and how the future of 3D printing metal could possibly make this kind of thing more accessible for people who don't want to invest a ridiculous amount of money into doing so. Enjoy!

In this episode, we're joined by Karl and Russell from InRange TV. We discuss our experience at Woodland Brutality this year and the unique aspects that make it so popular. They also talk about the importance of designing stages that are both fun and realistic, incorporating real-world skills into the competition, and we discuss some of the lessons we learned this year. The conversation explores the importance of inclusivity and the negative impact of divisive rhetoric in the firearms community. It emphasizes the need for shared values and basic decency, rather than viewing fellow Americans as enemies. We discuss the role of content creators in promoting inclusivity and the responsibility to create a safe and welcoming space.

In this episode, we sit down with our new friend Steve from the band Tractor Boy. Steve reached out to us with the generous offer to write us a new theme song for the podcast, and without knowing him or the band, we were honestly a bit skeptical. Fast forward a bit and he's a guest on our show because not only did we say yes, but it turns out he's a super cool dude with an absolutely rad backstory. Join us as we discuss Steve's 20-year career as a Green Beret, music to get you pumped, the origins of Tractor Boy, and more. We had a great time with Steve and it had absolutely nothing to do with the fact that we were slowly getting drunk throughout the episode.

Luckily for Jordan, Ian is a really nice dude and thanks to his above average reasoning skills, did not get mad at Jordan for that. We discuss Canadian firearms laws and how they suck, as well as specific self defense cases and Ol' Boy George. That's George Orwell for anyone who didn't know.
