Episode 262 - Being the Effective Civilian

Season 3 · Episode 262

Wednesday, September 11, 2024 • Duration 01:11:31

In the realm of training and preparedness, until relatively recently, civilian has been a dirty word. Many of us have been through a poor experience, where we're talked down to, or treated poorly simply for a lack of service. This ties back to the assumption that no time of service, correlates directly to no time training. That however, in 2024, is simply no longer the case. In this weeks episode I talk about the value of determined, passionate learning and development, and the knowledge and proficiency that can be attained without a specific resume, or pedigree. I also take the time to talk about the responsibilities involved for those who seek to be seen and recognized as such experts, and the enormous amount of work that must be put in to arrive at that goal. Many of you, I'm sure will relate to the experiences I share, and my thoughts on this subject. A few may disagree based on their own history and experience, and the discussions that follow this, I truly look forward to. The collaboration and combined efforts, together, are what will make us all successful.

Episode 261 - Learning Has No Finish Line...

Season 3 · Episode 261

Thursday, September 5, 2024 • Duration 01:33:26

Randy is back, joining me for another discussion, as we take a more philosophical look at training and self improvement. We talk about the important of defining not just why you're doing the things you're dong, but evaluating what you're doing, and what you're trying to achieve. Throughout the conversation, we talk on some very important ideas, like personal accountability and its importance, the constant battle against confirmation bias, the toxic nature of comparison, and more. Keeping things like like focus, and personal attention to detail constantly present in both your practice and training, but in the planning for that practice, additionally is brought up and spoken on. Just as before, this was a very enjoyable learning experience for me, and I think this conversation will provide you will a lot of value, especially if you've found yourself or your training group to be in a rut of forward progress. Give it a listen, and see for yourself!

Episode 252 - Sunday SITREP #39

Season 3 · Episode 252

Sunday, July 21, 2024 • Duration 45:51

With a combination of recent events which have no doubt shaken the entire United States, it's only right that I drop a SITREP to talk about them both. Between the recent attempt on the life of former President Donald Trump, and the announcement by President Biden that he will not seek re-election, we as a nation are left asking what will come next. In this iteration of the Sunday SITREP, I share my thoughts on both of these events, now that we have a bit more information to go off of, at least around the assassination attempt. Further, I talk about some of the implications of this decision by the Biden campaign, the difficulties it creates for the Democratic Party as we look ahead at the November election, and more.

Episode 161 - Recce Concepts

Season 2 · Episode 161

Friday, March 10, 2023 • Duration 01:52:33

To many of us in the training community, we've become so inundated and overwhelmed with the use of the term "recce" that I don't know if we even still know what it means. It's something I have a idea about, and see a lot of information thrown around about, but haven't deeply addressed personally. I'm joined this week, by my friend Adrian, owner of Sidewinder Concepts, to do just that. We take a deep dive into the mindset and skillsets that build recce concepts. Plenty of misunderstandings are corrected, and information gaps are filled throughout our discussion. If you're some who's looking to take your training to new places, or simply have no clue if you really understand reconnaissance, you'll likely learn a few things here!

Season 2 · Episode 158

Friday, February 17, 2023 • Duration 01:26:55

Optics. We all love them, we run them on our rifles, our pistols, even our crossbows.

To talk about this, i'm joined this episode by Ahmad Aboukar, the owner and CEO of Lead & Steel, a company who has created, designed, and launched their own optic from the ground up. We touch on a lot of the science behind optic design, as well as get into some of the specifics behind what makes their optic, the Promethean LP-1, stand out in the crowd.
