Shoot, Survive & Lawyer Up – Epi-3705
Can you afford to defend yourself? Not physically. Financially. That’s the question most folks never even consider. You train, you carry, you know the law. But what happens after the smoke clears? The cops show up, someone’s dead or bleeding, and now you’re not the guy who stopped a crime. You’re the guy at the center of a crime scene. My guest today is Ken Hardy. He’s a former cop, a guy who’s spent years in law enforcement, out on the water as a charter captain, and in classrooms teaching people how to handle firearms the right way. These days, … Continue reading →

Building Bitcoin Wealth for Everyone – Epi-3704
Bitcoin recently hit an all time high over 122,000 dollars and now has fallen to about 118,000 as I write this. Long gone are the days of 300, 600, 6,000 or even 25,000 dollar Bitcoin, but you know what hasn’t changed, unit bias bullshit! I heard it so many times over the years, “I wish I would have listened earlier but I missed the opportunity” and I have always responded with “no you didn’t miss it, you are missing it right now” and that too has not changed. Unit bias is where a person says “but I will never even … Continue reading →

F3 Vehicle Defense Systems with Michael Mercer – Epi-3700
Today I welcome Michael Mercer to the show to discuss a powerful innovation in personal defense that addresses a growing concern for many Americans. Michael is a retired police officer with over 30 years of experience and the founder of F3Defense, a company that developed the world’s only patented vehicle-mounted pepper spray system. We’re seeing more incidents where people are attacked in or around their vehicles. Protestors block roads. Mobs surround cars. Sometimes these situations turn violent. Most of my audience is armed, but no one wants to use deadly force if it can be avoided. I’ve always recommended pepper … Continue reading →

Filtering Feedback From Friends, Family & the Market – Epi-3699
Today we’re going to look at something every builder, creator, or doer runs into. Pushback from all directions: friends, family, customers, even total strangers. Sometimes it’s subtle. Sometimes it’s loud. And a lot of the time it comes from people who genuinely care about you but have no clue what you’re really working on. Add in pressure from the market or audience, and it gets messy fast. It can be hard to tell what’s worth listening to and what needs to be ignored completely. Friction isn’t always bad. Sometimes it exposes weak spots you should tighten up. But a lot … Continue reading →

Restoring the Culture of Men with Sonny Puzikas – Epi-3698
Today Sonny Puzikas joins us to discuss what he calls, “bringing back the culture of a man”. I have known Sonny a long time and I am excited to bring him on today to discuss the principles, discipline, and internal strength that define true masculinity, especially in contrast to what modern culture often promotes. Born in Soviet-era Lithuania in 1969, Sonny began his martial journey at the age of six, training in styles like Kyokushinkai, Judo, and boxing. He later served in a Soviet special forces unit, an experience that shaped his understanding of violence, leadership, and personal responsibility. After … Continue reading →
