Joanna is a different type of tactical instructor. She’s not a Navy seal, law enforcement, or special forces operative of any type but rather she is a woman who has experienced the evil she now fights against. As she travels across the United States aiming to contribute to the protection IQ of everyday people, she brings with her a gift that came at a high price.… Experience.

She has been honored with the tragedy she now fights in the world by helping those who don’t understand protection learn how to protect themselves. After her own tragic attack, one in which she was victimized for hours on end, she has now risen from the ashes of that tragedy stronger on a mission to empower the public in a way that will make sure these types of events happen less frequently as a result of a more competent public with regards to personal protection.

Tragedy affects us all in many different ways but the thing I respect most about her is simply that she has chosen not just simply be a victim but rather she has chosen to leverage her experiences in order to help everyone including herself grow stronger from them. This is the type of mental alchemy I speak of so frequently and with her brand vogue defense, she brings to bear a very intriguing synergy of everyday life, fashion, and the weapons/tactics of personal protection.

In my opinion, this makes her a hero of the highest order. It’s an honor to be able to share her story, her experiences, and her opinions on this podcast. This episode has something for everyone including much of her real-world story, tips, and tactics for women getting into personal protection, and also discussion about moral high ground between men, women, and mortal combat. ENJOY!

Jason - is a breath of fresh air for me every time I speak with him. He’s a man that lives by old codes and he's old school when it comes to a number of things and I always appreciate those attributes.

He has perfected the art of throwing knives to a point of almost supernatural ability. Watching him do what he does with blades it’s like watching a magic show, a butcher shop, and a western movie all at the same time.

It’s one of those things you see someone and think, that’s impressive but I can never do that. The interesting thing about this interview is simply that he explains so much not only about NY finding dynamics but he also explains how he can teach normal people to throw knives effectively as well.

This is what truly got my attention and I look forward to doing a number of things with Jason as well as rolling out some training in the near future. He definitely feels like a brother at this point. This interview will probably blow your mind… Enjoy!

Bazzel Baz has emerged to be one of the most special men I have interacted with in a very long time. A true warrior of the physical and spiritual kind. Individuals like him are of the rarest breed in my opinion and experience and I can only hope that as I evolve and mature, one day I can join the ranks of these great men.

Bazzel has lived the life of a warrior and has done everything from CIA special operations leadership roles to Marine Corps Unit leadership roles to even having a career in Hollywood. The question I think that is posed to a man after he has climbed most of the mountains he has seen and survived many battlefields that have swallowed up so many of the best of us is simply what fight do I contribute to next? What battle may I be honored to participate in and what adversity deserves my attention given the skill sets and experience a warrior like this acquires on his journey.

So these days Bazzel Baz finds himself leading an elite organization rescuing children called “Association for the recovery of children” (ARC).

This organization is the real deal, not the type of place you just give money to so you feel better and can sleep better at night but rather the type of place that puts boots on the ground and snatch the children from pitch-black darkness.

We’ve got more than an epidemic of children missing in America and around the world and they’re being sold into modern-day slavery but you won’t hear anything about it in the media because they’re so busy causing social disruption over trivial issues that are designed to weaken the public. We live in an age of modern-day child sex slavery and I’m honored to be connected to a man who, by the grace of God, has to do his part at ending legitimate modern atrocities. We talk about everything in this episode from the current state of America to Bazzl‘s CIA operations and about the work that can be done for our children being stolen and sold to the highest bidder on the black market… Enjoy!

I have always spoken of firearms as the ultimate equalizer. It doesn’t matter how strong, weak, big, or small, if you know how to use a gun, you have a say on the outcome of a situation with regards to humans. This is why I believe all females should really take a serious understanding of how to use multiple weapon systems but in this case Firearms specifically.

Gina is a woman who has chosen to do something in order to empower new shooters and most specifically women on their journey of becoming confident with Firearms. What I respect about her is simply that she hasn’t chosen to wait until she’s perfect for the most involved with regards to combat arts but she’s chosen to train with and train others while she’s on her journey.

The results are truly priceless as she has assembled her shooting club and has positively impacted the lives of many new shooters. I wanted to have her on the show for this episode in order to discuss the best way to get female shooters started, great pistols for females, and grace other subjects along those lines. The reality simply is that we all know women we would like to keep safe and to teach to defend themselves and this episode will give all of us insight on how to do that more effectively. Thanks to Gina.

With everything we are facing as a nation and all of the changes that are taking place extremely rapidly within American culture, I am truly honored that Mike Glover is doing what he is doing in the world. With an extensive background and army special forces, the CIA, and creating counterterrorist task forces, Mike has lived a life that has prepared him to make the types of contributions American news needs right now. Between fieldcraft survival and American contingent just to name a few, he has created a full spectrum of organizations that can truly help Americans not only be prepared but also require the training they need to be forced multipliers to protect themselves and their families during times of disaster and turbulence.

Mike is a different type of leader with a full spectrum of tools that I rarely see in one person. His experience, intellect, ability to teach and speak along with his real-world experience to make him one of the kind. Additionally, with the experience, he’s had out in the field creating and managing successful teams an austere environment has given him the ability to run his multiple corporations and an extremely high-level

benefits to the end-user that are rarely seen these days. I’m honored to be connected with them and I will forward to everything that has to come as his contributions of all and as we get the range together.

This episode is all about being prepared for the worst, detecting deception in our culture, and understanding what it truly takes to keep yourself and your family safe… ENJOY!

Tim Larkin is a lifelong martial artist who has been living the mission of helping good people become more willing capable and prepared to deal with violence for decades. It’s truly an honor to be able to join forces with him for this episode as he brings a number of real-world experiences and a wealth of knowledge to his target focus and a hand combat discipline.

This is an art he’s been teaching to law-enforcement and military professionals for many years along with responsible civilians who want to understand the inner workings of violence. He has a well-established and very robust brand that you can genuinely get lost in but that will really help you not only on a physical level but on a psychological level understand the inner workings of violence. This is something everyone should truly seek to understand before being faced with needing to know how to deal with it effectively.

I Violence is down and dirty, it’s not pretty by any means so many people shy away from understanding it but one of the things we talk about in this episode is simply the fact that through understanding it you can become a better person on many different levels… additionally I am very excited and honored to join forces with him on our new protector nation project so look forward to learning much more from him there as well. This episode has something for everyone. ENJOY!

Mike Shaw was a police officer for 10 years where he served various roles in patrol and drug task force operations. He took training seriously and found ways to improve his fitness, shooting abilities, and tactics. He began a couple of years ago growing his social media with the intent to help others, motivate people (especially police) to train and stay fit.

This is where I saw quite a bit of crossover because my brand is also geared towards people who see protection as more than just a job because we all know it requires a lifestyle to truly be able to perform at a respectable level with regards to our craft. We cover a wide variety of topics during this interview, some controversial, and some will simply reinforce what it is you already know.

At the end of the day, Mike Shaw is the type of guy I’d like to have with me when the rubber meets the pavement because he puts the hours in to be the type of guy who can be depended on and that’s what I hope to see more professionals strive to be like within the first responder and private security communities... The funny thing is that this way of life and these principles are also parallel within the civilian world so put in the work because in order to be the man you’ve got to become the man and that requires a process.

Every once in a while, a Marine comes along and wants to make even more of a contribution. Brady seems to be one of those types of Marines. Although he has already completed his service, he continues to serve the communities and cultures he belongs to on many levels and in extracurricular ways.

He is now an executive protection agent which is initially how I stumbled across him. He has a nonprofit that helps veterans find their way through taking them out in nature to do hunts, hikes, camp trips, etc. to use nature as therapy. One of his newer products and projects is what initially caught my eye which is the “Gray Man Project“ where he aims to train people of the gray man mentality and way of life in order to empower them to protect themselves and their families.

It was an absolute honor to have this conversation with Brady as there are so many crossovers and overlaps between the two of us and the paradigms we live by, there will be many more things to come out of this relationship but for now, enjoy this podcast and get plugged into work this man is doing because there will be some really big things coming down the line. ENJOY!

With so much going on around the topic of COVID-19 I figured it would benefit all of us to hear from a very close friend of mine who is operating on the front lines, he works urgent care in Las Vegas where there’s quite a break out right now. His name is Kirk Robinson and he was my Corman back when I was in the Marine Corps, we fought in a war together and still talk on a weekly basis to this very day.

Recently I posted a video with him sharing some experiences he’s having with different patients and Instagram actually banned the video… I figured since I’m not free to share my thoughts, his experiences or anything outside of their narrative on their platform; I figured I just use my own because what I think is most important is to have more opinions and more critical thinkers and more experiences brought to light on this issue.

The goal of this podcast is to give the listener a realistic perspective on what people are experiencing with regards to this virus on a daily basis. Doc Robinson is what we called him in the Marine Corps so that’s why you hear me refer to them as throughout the interview. Nonetheless he is seeing patients who are actively dealing with this virus on a daily basis and our message is simply that the only thing to fear is fear itself. Understand the problem, come up with an efficient strategy and move forward boldly. I believe this podcast will be the first in a series… ENJOY

In this episode, I talk about Life… Struggle… Purpose… Focus and the overall path to success. I have a series in my other podcast called “Considerations“ and this is where I just simply freestyle and share with you things I have on my mind along with tools I’ve used that have been integral on my journey to achievement.

Protection isn’t always just a physical endeavor. In fact, those who operate at the highest levels understand that much of this game we play is driven by and is simply a manifestation of the technology we are running internally and behind the scenes.

Without the right software, your hardware is useless and so from time to time, I will simply dive deep into the armory of my own heart and mind to expose and share with you all things that I believe are some of the most important components to success in life and the protection of your purpose on this planet.

At the end of the day my goal is to make, help, and contribute to the fostering of protectors on this planet and that means the cultivation of higher quality humans overall. There’s something for everyone in this episode and until we meet again I want to encourage you to; find your purpose, live with passion, and reach your destiny.
