011: Dustin Sanchez from Action Gunner, REAL AVID, and more

Talk Back to MeFor years we've seen the similarities between the culture around firearms to those around photography, cars, and more. If you've ever seen a reel or watched a modern video of someone shooting competition, you've likely seen something influenced by his work. And there's more to competition shooting than simply the stage plan. Rather, a whole ecosystem around the sport and its various disciplines. We dig into how competition builds more than skillsets, where we've seen good changes come about in the culture, and where we think things are going. Follow Dustin Sanchez on Instagram at @2a_dustin Check out REAL AVID for firearms maintenance and builder's needs. Follow Action Gunner to stay up to date on the competition scene at: actiongunner.com or on Instagram at @actiongunnerSupport the Show at redactedllc.com and follow on Instagram at @redactedllcSupport the REDACTED Culture Cast at redactedculture.locals.comSSP and boutique products at redactedllc.comFollow us on Instagram at @redactedllc

009: Friday Solo // 3 Types of Training

Talk Back to MeThis week comes in response to a series of questions regarding maintaining training in a busy schedule, and for those who may not have access to nearby instructors. As the Overton Window continues to shift towards a proliferation of training, and although we may not see a golden age of training, the responsibility ultimately falls on the shoulders of the individual to be proficient, and ask "what for" with humility and courage. Three categories of skill development to focus on: Habitual, Guided, and Exploratory help us think about not only what we are training for, but how we train at all. Support the show at redactedllc.comSupport the REDACTED Culture Cast at redactedculture.locals.comSSP and boutique products at redactedllc.comFollow us on Instagram at @redactedllc

008: Beau Doboszenski of Defensive Mindset Training on Surviving 9/11 and Training Better

Talk Back to MeOver ten years of training and curriculum development has allowed Beau to cover both sides of the Is-Ought Divide when it comes to self defense. One part Neurology, another part Philosophy, the story started over 20 years ago. On the ground at the Pentagon on September 11th, 2001 can sound like the start of an origin story, so we discuss not only what happened and what was learned, but why so many are in search of some single event to define themselves, instead of the larger picture. Defensive Mindset Training teaches in-person courses, as well as it's web-based instruction and daily guided practice to supplement one's skillset development. Take advantage of in-person instruction with a cleaner skillset. Defensive Mindset Training can be found at defensivemindsettraining.com and on Instagram at @dmtdefendersSupport the REDACTED Culture Cast at redactedllc.comSupport the REDACTED Culture Cast at redactedculture.locals.comSSP and boutique products at redactedllc.comFollow us on Instagram at @redactedllc

003: Nathan Spearing on Productive Property and Setting Priorities Right

Talk Back to MeAfter 14 years in Special Operations, Nathan Spearing exchanged a life of military achievement and adrenaline for a more valuable dedication: his family. His story stands in stark contrast to the millions of veterans who struggle with transitioning, not because they had challenges to face, rather that in addition to the hardships of leaving the known for the unknown, his departure came with hooks attached. Now, the Spearing family has built a life for themselves, focusing on productive property, and he gives an account of what that looks like, from the perspective of a father, a husband, and a former Special Operator. After living at the pinnacle of what much of Gun Culture holds in high esteem, he argues that you should first invest in productive property, so that you have something to defend. Find Nathan Spearing at www.spearing.coSupport this channel at www.redactedllc.comSupport the REDACTED Culture Cast at redactedculture.locals.comSSP and boutique products at redactedllc.comFollow us on Instagram at @redactedllc
