  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 called to thank

  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 to j

  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

  Camping, Ants & Tortilla Chips No, I don’t camp in the winter anymore. I’m a fair weather camper (although it seems to rain every time). My love of camping has facilitated a long-standing battle with ants. Crawling all over the food. Marching in a line from the sand to my tent. Ruining jars of honey if left unattended for even a minute. So… I was making lunch by the fire one day (last spring), when I noticed a tortilla chip dance across the ground. Since I had never seen a tortilla chip dance, I crouched down to investigate. Evidently, an especially persistent ant had found it under my foldout chair. He was toting his enormous treasure back to wherever the ants in live. I was mesmerized. And quite impressed. Ants are amazing creatures. They can easily carry things more than 50 times their body mass and will patiently travel several miles to bring a prize home to the colony. Several miles, can you imagine? Now, I don’t necessarily want them running amok on my campsite picnic, that

  Last night we had one of our weekly coaching calls for the PeaceWalker Evolution Course. What a great call! Rob and Jenn, a couple of the Level II - Momentum folks (people who graduated from Evolution last year and came back for the second Level.), were tasked to run the meeting as part of their training. I must say, they did a stand up job! The topic of discussion was building an Unshakable Foundation. WTH is that!? It’s basically the way you live. Your habits. What you do in your day to day life. How do you train your… Body  - Your physical health Mind  - What you’re filling your head with Mouth  - How you’re communicating Heart  - How you foster your relationships Why?! Without a solid foundation it’s difficult to remain balanced. When you are not balanced, it more difficult to stay calm, cool, and collected, (especially) under pressure. As I often say,  “You can’t hide crazy.” (It eventually comes out!) Regardless… You don’t have to be in the PeaceWalker Evolution course to look

  It was cool watching the “Aha Moments” on people’s faces when they really get something. We’re seeing it in our classes, seminars and in the PeaceWalker Evolution Course! I know you experience this too… You’re working with someone who is new at something that you’re good at. You see them struggling with the same things that you excel at… But then there’s a shift… They have an epiphany, they see how one of those mundane, simple, basic principles connect to solving one of their bigger problems. You see the light go on. The look on their face is unmistakable as they have a moment of success. Simple. No? Learning how to protect yourself and deal with conflict is a lot like that. The simple stuff IS the advanced stuff. The simple stuff IS the effective stuff. Sometimes in our minds desire to learn and consume information, it begins make things overly complicated. Now, don’t get me wrong there are a lot of complicated things out there in the world… However protecting yourself and dealing w
