How Much Is Enough?! . An American investment banker was at the pier of a small coastal village in Mexico when a small boat with a lone fisherman docked. Inside the small boat were several large fin tuna. The American complimented the man on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took him to catch them? . The man Replied, "Only a little while." . The banker then asked why didn't he stay out longer and catch more fish? . The fisherman replied that he had enough to support his family's immediate needs. . The banker went on to say, "But what do you do with the rest of your time:" . The fisherman replied, "I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, take a siesta with my wife, Maria, stroll into the village each evening where I sip wine and play guitar with my amigos. I have a full and busy life." . The American scoffed, "I am a Harvard MBA and could help you. You should spend more time fishing an...

This might sound like a weird question... but it is an important one! Think about it... Do they? If they do Why? Or if they don't, than Why Not? I don't mean just physically safer. I'm talking emotionally safer too. Like if they needed you, you'd have their back in whatever capacity. What do you think is necessary to have someone FEEL Safer in your presence?   Is it how you look? What you say (or don't say)? What you do (or don't)? How you hold yourself? A Challenge... Here's a challenge for you... Try observing yourself today and see if you can pick up on things that you can do to help communicate (without directly saying it) to people around you that you have their back if they need it. It could be something as subtle as you being more alert, straightening your posture and paying attention. It could be something like you looking approachable enough to talk to. It could be about you listening more atte...

You Need to Learn More Than Techniques! In the thick of a real conflict, techniques break down quickly. As a matter of fact, they are typically the first to go. We lose fine motor movement...  We forget... We f-up... Techniques tend to be reactionary. So, then why is everyone looking to learn the next 'Trick' to solve the problem?  Because learning & teaching techniques is EASY! ...AND it makes us feel like we have accomplished something. But that's a load of BS! And it can get you and the people you're protecting hurt or worse.  Learning technique can be a first step, but... If you're only thinking about techniques, you're thinking too small!  ...And you're going to pay for it! You have to think bigger! WAY BIGGER! Novices are thinking all technique... Folks who are the Real Professionals have developed a Lifestyle. They Train Their... Bodies like Soldiers Minds Like Generals ...

Are You Talking to a 'Wanna Be?' It seems like today everyone is trying to be a Navy SEAL, IDF Counter Terrorist, Special Ops dude just back from 3 tours in Afghanistan or some Tactical Baddy working the thugs in the street... The allure is there! When it comes to defending yourself and those you care about, who doesn't want to be a Jocko? Or Etan (Hardcore IDF mofo...), Jason Bourne or some sh*t like that?!? However... You DON'T Have to Be a  'Wanna Be!!' PeaceWalker's come in all shapes and sizes... All ages... Professions... Backgrounds... Genders... Ethnicities... Personal preferences... World views... Political & religious affiliation... Life experiences & expectation... And skill levels... YES... Some are Police, Military & Security Pro's? And those folks deserve respect for their service... BUT... You don't have to have a background like...

So, just now I was headed to one of my favorite coffee houses / office after yoga (thx Benjhe) and some gal in a Honda accord cuts me off than proceeds (while in the lane to the right of me), turns left in front of me... She didn't cut me off, we were at a stop light and had her blinker on... I saw that her signal was on so I let her go in front of me... Being that I was feeling pretty chill (because I was coming out of yoga?! IDK...), I didn't think that much about it. (Please, no sainthood here... there are other days when I'd be more than a little annoyed...)  Anyway, I go down a couple blocks and pull up into a parking space... I look and see that same car just parked right across the street from me. The gal approaches me... I adjust my IDF baseball cap and  prepare for a conflict... Relieved, I see she is all smiles and apologizes for her erratic driving. What a nice surprise! That really made my day. We were headed into the same coffee house, s...

I had the chance to be on Nationally Syndicated Frontlines of Freedom Military Talk Radio Show w/Skip Coryell. We spoke on church security, Pre-Conflict Indicators and the Interviewing process. If you didn't get the chance to catch me on the radio when it aired, you can listen to it here: https://frontlinesoffreedom.com/2019/02/09/show-581-2nd-hour/ (My segment begins at the 11:15 min. mark.) We talked about Being a PeaceWalker and Building a Protector Lifestyle. More specifically we discusses: 1) Mindset & Ethic 2) Church Security 3) Profiling Behavioral Red Flags 4) Interviewing procedures & tips This morning I was clipping along getting things done, when the electricity shut off... Our Snowmageddon turned into IceMageddon.   =( Oh well... We'll survive... It gave me an excuse to go to one of my favorite coffee houses (luckily their power's working!) SO... I was going over the email I sent to some o...

Some folks meander around w/o a care. Others are rushing around trying to get things done at a frantic pace. Those folks who've been at it a while... Those w/some experience know how to use things to their advantage. They are FAST w/o much effort. And when they do use effort, it's directed like a laser giving them the advantage w/minimal risk and maximum reward! It reminds me of Krav and training how to be fast! You don't just have to be a young hard charger to have fast techniques (but this formula will work for you too!). Fast disarms. Fast strikes. Fast weapon draw. Be fast at dealing with a situation. Quick on your feet... The problem is, most people don't really know HOW to train to be fast, I mean REALLY fast! Often times people think they either are or aren't. Even the one's who consciously train to increase their speed typically only work on one... maybe two areas that actually make up speed.   Often missing some key e...
