The Decision Hour

I sit down with a Edith Miaskowski and her son Nicholas and hear their story of moving to America, overcoming disabilities to changing the lives of other people.

Edith explains, they came to the United States in 1993, the reason was their oldest Daughter Samantha was born with a brain tumor, wanting a better life for her, Edith and her husband with $500 in their pocket and 2 suitcases moved to the United States. A few years later Nicholas was born (1995). Fast forward several years, May of 2006, Young Nicholas was diagnosed with a stage four Brain Tumor and he talks about his mindset and what he did to get better.

“And I got this Walker to help me you know, jumpstart and walking and well why this is significant is this is actually kind of propelling us to who we are today and what we're doing an offering for others. So forcing myself you know, learning to walk I learned that it's really important to stay focused on your goals and focused and determined and I always have a saying that in life we have two choices when we fail at something. So that's either we fail we fall over and we cry about it and pout and do absolutely nothing or we can involve, you can get back up, no matter how much your legs are shaking and how painful it is, you just do it, you get up and you move on forward.” ~Nicholas~

Take a listen to this “Comeback” story as ‘The Comeback Coach’, Richard Kaufman talks about some of his Decision Hours.

Kisa Libby is a Navy Vet, a sponsored competitive shooter and an accountant for a well known business supplying law enforcement officers. By far, her toughest job is as a single mom to 2 boys. 

We had a great discussion with Kisa about why she started in the shooting sports and how she’s working to raise her boys to be strong, positive men. Like many veterans, Kisa found herself missing the camaraderie of serving with others for a common mission (and in often less than favorable conditions). She tried many things to find that spirit of brotherhood, but is it wasn’t until she was introduced to competitive shooting that she felt she finally found a suitable replacement. 

As Kisa’s boys grew up, she started thinking about how she (as a woman) could best ensure she was providing her sons with the tools to think critically and be the kind of men she felt the world needed. We have an open honest discussion about the challenges of parenthood in general and how single parenting presents unique circumstances. 

Follow Kisa’s adventures on the Instagram she shares with her oldest son. 

Whether it’s for utility or self-protection, we see a lot of people walking around carrying knives. How many of those people who choose to carry for self-protection have ever trained for such an event? The answer is, not many. 

Adam Bird and Heather Dopson took the time to sit down with Nick LaRosa to talk about whether or not we should be carrying, the best way to carry, and why training is an absolute must.

Nick is impressive in his own right. At 24, he’s a black belt in Brazilian Ju-Jitsu, a black belt in Judo, a personal trainer, an MMA instructor, a Stop the Bleed® trainer, and a few other things that remain classified. And that’s barely scratching the surface! His real-world experience along with his mindset and training style is what lead Heather to seek him out to take edged weapon training from. She was so impressed by his knowledge and skill she knew he’d be an excellent guest for the listeners of The Decision Hour.

Sit back, take a listen, and learn something new today.

“𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐃𝐨𝐞𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐒𝐮𝐜𝐤” is the slogan for Erica Chadwick’s company, TacMobility. In this episode, we learn that TacMobility is a company that exists to reduce police officer suicide, increase police officer morale, provide mental and physical health support for cops and so much more. We talk with Erica about how being a person of color influenced her ideas about cops early on in her life, but after years of working in an industry supporting law enforcement, she realized there was a bigger picture.

Eric created TacMobility to provide methods to control the mind and the machine by providing a slew of physical and psychological services to individual cops and entire departments. Erica has gained the trust of police officers nationwide using her knowledge of trauma and stress coupled with her straight forward approach and ability to understand law enforcement culture. 

Recently, Erica has taken brave, bold action to facilitate productive conversation between the Black Lives Matter and Back the Blue movements. She literally crosses the line and works to find the common ground. 

Listen in as we talk about what inspires her and how the services she provides builds better cops in ways you’ve never thought about before.
