I'm Sure You're Wondering...

Image
  It was quite a weekend. Above is a pick of what we were doing Saturday morning. The day was perfect for the commencements at the stadium in Ann Arbor. It was quite an event. There were a little over 70,000 people there! about 8,000 graduating that day and the rest were friends and family joining in the celebration. You’re Probably Wondering… In the last blog I told you that we were taking some precautions because of the potential safety concern from protestors. We did in fact have a briefing and took some precautions. The night before the commencements, there were a few people arrested when some protestors went head o head with some officers. The day of commencements we were able to avoid the majority of the protests which were occurring in another area of the campus. We hired a driver who knew his way around the area. He got us there early, without any fuss. We kept an eye out as we were in line to get in. Things went pretty smoothly, and because we were there so early, we got r...

From Protest to Riot

Image
  Today I’m headed with the fam to Ann Arbor, MI. Sara, our second oldest is graduating from U of M. She’s done a great job! Graduating valedictorian from her high school and getting a full ride scholarship at U of M…’ And now she’s graduating! She’s done an amazing job, all while overcoming some pretty heavy duty life circumstances. So, now we get to celebrate her accomplishment down in the “Big House” with thousands of her fellow graduates. But… Here’s the Rub We have to be a bit careful. There have been a lot of protesting going on over the war in Israel. Soooo… We have to navigate that with the younger kids in tow. So far things at U of M haven’t gotten out of hand like at UCLA and Columbia… But they could. We are taking some precautions to navigate the situation, including a family briefing on what to do if something happens. Real world stuff in Life of a PeaceWalker. How To Prepare for the Worst During the pandemic and BLM riots that swept the country a couple years back, I p...

Why You Have to Change Your Game

Image
  So, I get up this morning and doing my usual routine. I’m sitting in my chair working on some projects when I get a phone call from one of our PeaceWalker Inner Circle members. He and I have been having some good discussions lately, largely because he’s enrolled in the PeaceWalker Evolution Course that’s going on right now. However… He wasn’t calling me about that… He was calling to give me kudo’s on my Over Forty 10x Health & Fitness Program that he said literally  “Changed his Life!” He’s a Hard Charger He’s a former military guy, currently a reserve deputy sheriff. As well as a sales manager, and strong family man. He’s fit, especially for someone his age. Hey wait a minute, he’s MY age… In his early/mid fifties! He’s a big dude, strong guy, I’ve never seen him out of shape, but he was tired of getting injured and/or having the long recovery times after his workouts  (probably designed for someone in their 20’s, because that’s the way he rolls!) Anyway… He just c...

Not a Big Fan

Image
  I don’t know about you, but I’m not a big Facebook fan. Our page has been shut down numerous times over the years. Many of our members don’t like fb for security reasons as well. And don’t get me going on big tech agendas, and all the other tin foil hat theories… Regardless, I’m not a big social media fan, which is a bit hypocritical because I do have quite a presence on several of my Ronin and PeaceWalker pages… However… I put together our own private network called PeaceWalker Connect… And I’d like to invite you to it. There are two tiers: One is called the Network and it’s free. The other is Premium and is called the Inner Circle. I’d like to invite you to the Free Network, where you can get access to community, training and resources, some livestreams and other goodies. The entire platform is all about training to protect yourself (and others), dealing with conflict (inside & around you) and (of course) leading a happier, more powerful Life! Here’s the link if you’d like ...

What'd You Say?!

Image
  You ever have a conversation with someone who really lifted your spirits? How about having a conversation with someone who’s a real downer?! We spend a lot of time talking to people. Matter of fact, talking is one of the most under rated and under trained aspects of protecting yourself. It’s much better if you can talk your way out of a bad situation, rather than having to resort to some form of physicality. This is why we spend so much time on sharing effective communication frameworks in the PeaceWalker course. But All of that Aside… When we think about communicating, we often just think about talking to other people. We forget how we talk to ourselves! You may have heard it called, “Self talk.” All day long we talk to ourselves. We carry on an inner dialogue in our heads that only we can hear. Unfortunately, this means it's very easy to be hard on ourselves. There's something about privacy which makes it easy to say the things you would never say out loud to another living...
