Ideas, Mistakes & National Syndication




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:

(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 of you PeaceWalkers...

It was alright, not crazy insightful... but decent.

However, it had a lot of TYPO's!!

That reminded me of a story that Lt. Col. Joe Shusko (Joe 'Marine') tells at our RGI Ethical Protector Course...


The PARABLE of the PENCIL

.
The Pencil Maker took the pencil aside just before putting him into the box.
.
“There are five things you need to know,” he told the pencil.
.
“Before I send you out into the world. Always remember them and you will become the best pencil you can be.
.
ONE: You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in Someone's hand.
.
TWO: You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, but you'll need it to become a better pencil.
.
THREE: You will be able to correct most mistakes that you might make.
.
FOUR: The most important part of you will always be what's inside.
.
FIVE: On every surface you are used on, you will leave your mark. Try to make the best mark you can. (Most Good / Least Harm). AND No matter what the condition, you must continue to write.” (KEEP GOING!)
.
The pencil understood and promised to remember, and went into the box with purpose in its heart.
.
Now replacing the place of the pencil with you; always remember them and never forget, and you will become the best person you can be.

An Uncomfortable Situation

Image
  Funny pic (and movie) about a not so funny situation… In training as in Life, it’s better to treat people with dignity and respect. However… What does that look like in the moment? Being that I’m teaching a Women’s Assault Prevention and Response Workshop this weekend - it’s probably a good time to talk about… Uncomfortable Situations Let’s talk about training at the academy for a minute… We run open co-ed classes at the local academy. What does that mean? Men and women train together, but we don’t stop there. People of different skill levels, backgrounds, ethnicities, sexual orientations, careers, religious beliefs, political affiliations, ages, injuries, pre-existing conditions, life experience, training expectations etc. etc. train together! We ALL work together! Overall, I think it’s better this way. Of course sometimes there’s static, you know, conflicts, and misunderstanding. When something happens, most of the time it’s just that, a misunderstanding… Sometimes people simply do

The Shot Heard Around the World

Even though many could see where all of this division and hatred in our country was leading to, when we witness the actual violence, realty once again floods in and has a way of shattering the comfort of our complacency, if only until the next headline. Some may find all of this shocking, others may see it simply validating their own fears. Regardless, of your political views, we have to take into account what this level of violence can do not only to the former President and his family, but what does to the state of our entire Nation. Yesterday as news broke of former President Donald Trump being shot, I can’t say that I was entirely surprised. Saddened, but not surprised. Regardless of your political stance, this act of violence is a dark reminder of the dangerous consequences of a society steeped in hate and division. Our collective heartbreak should not be about politics, but about the division and hatred that fuels this erosion of our humanity. We live in a time where traditional

Cutting Through the Static

  Me and the crew at Venue 3 Two after a PeaceWalker Conflict Communication Workshop Remember in the old days when you used to listen to the radio on a road trip? No, not digital or streaming. I’m talking about old school FM radio. When you’re putting some miles on and crossing state lines. The radio stations you listen to don’t broadcast far enough for your entire trip, so you have to channel surf to find new channels as you move on down the road. You continue to push the search button until you hear a song in the genre that you want so you can lock in a desirable station for a spell. Sometimes you’re listening to a song you really like but the station is fading… The static starts feint, almost imperceptible, than grows in intensity to the degree that you can no longer ignore it. If you really like the song, you try to hang on as long as you can, listening to the tune through the white noise and times it cuts out completely, hoping to hear as much of the song as you can before the sta
