November 20, 2019Ep. 06: How are you going to intimidate me with words?
Silvercore Podcast Episode - 6

In this episode I talk with Mark Horsley who has recently returned from Australia where he and his shooting partner won silver in their division at the world PPC championships.

Mark is a Staff Sergeant with a local police agency who was responsible for creating and implementing their revolver to semi-auto transition program and returned to his training role to assist in the development of a multi-million dollar range training facility. We talk about what it takes to compete at the world PPC championships, his time training with the FBI at Quantico Virginia, and how he overcame a horrific motorcycle accident that left him with a traumatic brain injury.

October 24, 2019Ep. 04: Now you see me, now you don‘t.
In this episode I get the privilege of speaking with Guy Cramer, the CEO of Hyperstealth Biotechnology Corporation.

Guy has created camouflage patterns for militaries all over the world as well as many popular hunting lines. If you have been to a hunting retail store, you have most likely seen his work. Guy has also invented what most felt would be impossible, a light refracting material that allows objects in front to disappear while only showing the background. Essentially, Guy has created an invisible cloak which he explains has practical applications both on and off the battlefield.
