  • MARCUS TORGERSON “It’s OK To Stand Up For Yourself - Reclaiming Your Power Through Self-Defense”

    MARCUS TORGERSON “It’s OK To Stand Up For Yourself - Reclaiming Your Power Through Self-Defense”
    Sep 28 2024

    MARCUS TORGERSON - Warrior Shepherd, Author, Speaker

    I’m thrilled to share the incredible insights from our latest episode featuring the amazing Marcus Torgerson.
    If you’ve ever wondered how to overcome fear, build self-worth, and develop a mindset that deters potential attackers, this episode is a must-listen. 


    Marcus is a self-defense expert who empowers individuals affected by violence. 
He brings over 45 years of experience in martial arts and self-defense, and his wisdom is both practical and empowering.

    BUT - he advocates for practical self-defense techniques over traditional martial arts.

    The discussion covers societal conditioning, especially women's responses to threats, the psychological aspects of violence, and the responsibilities of carrying weapons for self-defense. Marcus underscores the necessity of training and preparation to handle real-life confrontations effectively, promoting a proactive approach to personal safety.

    Here are the key takeaways from our conversation:

    Overcoming Fear:
    Building Self-Worth:

    Practical Self-Defense: Marcus advocates for simple, replicable movements that anyone can learn, focusing on mindset and physicality rather than traditional martial arts.

    Societal Conditioning: We discuss how societal norms, especially for women, often discourage self-defense.

    Mindset Over Techniques:

    Responsibilities of Carrying Weapons: If you choose to carry a weapon, regular training and understanding the legal and emotional consequences are essential.

    Mother’s Instinct: Marcus uses the analogy of a mother protecting her child to illustrate the innate strength we all possess.

    Violence as a Tool: He explains that violence itself is neutral; it’s the intent behind it that matters. Good people can and should use violence to protect themselves and others when necessary.

    Domestic vs. Predatory Violence: Marcus distinguishes between different types of violence and stresses that domestic violence can affect anyone, regardless of gender.

    Marcus’s passion for helping others and his unique perspective on violence and self-worth will leave you feeling inspired and ready to take action.

    
Tune in to this powerful episode and discover how you can transform your mindset and take control of your safety and self-worth. Let’s empower ourselves and each other to face life’s challenges with confidence and resilience.
    Stay safe and stay strong!

  • ARIUS SORBONNE- Snakestaff Systems The Critical Role of Tourniquets for Safety and Preparedness

    ARIUS SORBONNE- Snakestaff Systems The Critical Role of Tourniquets for Safety and Preparedness
    Sep 22 2024
    In this episode I discuss the critical role of tourniquets in emergencies with my guest Arius Sorbonne, co-founder of Snake Staff Systems along with his amazing wife- Jessica. Arius explains the innovative design and functionality of their tourniquet, emphasizing its portability and effectiveness, especially for children. We stress the significance of emergency preparedness and advocate for carrying tourniquets as part of everyday safety gear to handle unexpected injuries. Key Features of the Snake Staff Systems' Tourniquet- as seen on the Shawn Ryan Show and featured with Dom Raso of Dynamis Alliance Compact Design: The tourniquet reduces the overall profile by about 65% by eliminating the sleeve found in traditional models, making it more portable and user-friendly. Suitable for both Children, Babies, Pets and Adults.. ( most aren’t) . One-Inch Webbing: The core component responsible for constricting blood flow is a one-inch piece of webbing, which has been effective in saving lives for years. Carabiner Lock: This feature enhances reliability during patient transport, addressing a common issue with other tourniquets that can become dislodged. Arius's Family Experience: Arius shared a personal story about a friend who had to apply a tourniquet to his child after a trampoline accident. This real-life example underscores the necessity of having such equipment on hand. Practical Skills for Kids: We touched on the importance of teaching first aid skills to children. Familiarity with medical supplies can empower kids to act confidently in emergencies. Everyday Carry (EDC): Many people are now including tourniquets in their EDC, which can be a game-changer in emergencies. Having essential medical supplies on hand can significantly increase survival chances. What First Aid do YOU EDC? Beyond his work with Snake Staff Systems, Arius collaborates closely with a range of specialized units, including Special Forces and SWAT teams. His expertise in tactical medical equipment and emergency response protocols makes him a valuable asset to these high-stakes environments. By working with these elite groups, Arius ensures that the tourniquets and other medical tools developed by Snake Staff Systems meet the rigorous demands of field operations. His partnerships with these units also provide critical feedback that drives continuous improvement and innovation in their products, ultimately enhancing the safety and effectiveness of first responders and military personnel. Additionally, Arius delves into the craftsmanship behind the custom firearms he manufactures, detailing the precision engineering and rigorous testing each gun undergoes to ensure reliability and safety. He shares insights into the various models they produce, tailored for different needs, from personal defense to professional use, and underscores the importance of responsible gun ownership and proper training. Arius notes that the messaging around self-defense and medical preparedness can often be polarizing, with some people dismissing the need for such knowledge. However, he believes that framing the conversation around safety and preparedness can help bridge the gap between differing viewpoints. By focusing on universal values like protecting loved ones, they can encourage more people to engage with the concepts of self-defense and emergency medical training. Final Thoughts: This episode is a powerful reminder of the importance of being prepared for emergencies. Arius and I shared a mutual understanding of the necessity of carrying reliable medical equipment and being proactive about personal safety. I encourage you to listen to the full episode and consider investing in a quality tourniquet for your safety and the safety of your loved ones.
