August 26th 2021, the largest lost of American life in a decade occurred in Afghanistan as two bombs went off and a gunfight ensued at Kabul Airport. I share with you my feelings first, and then my thoughts on what's lead to this so far, and what we need to do going forward.

This past weekend, I traveled out to Ann Arbor, MI to attend the Carbine 2 course at Ann Arbor Arms. Had a absolutely fantastic experience in my first structured course and I take the time this week to sit down and share my thoughts and experiences. I definitely recommend the amazing facilities and staff, head over to annarborarms.com and schedule your next class!

This week, I was able to return to my local gun range for the first time since lockdown in March of last year. As such, I spend some time talking about my visit, some of my observations, and sharing my insights on what to do or not do when at the range.

I share some thoughts this week, on tracking goals, maintaining a positive and tenacious attitude, and pushing through life with a consistent momentum. As we work towards a better equipped and more prepared lifestyle, these are things we all must have, if we want to find our own success.

This week, I'm joined by Zeff, from our partner MyMedic.com.
