Craig Douglas spent 20 years in law enforcement with rolls as a SWAT operator, SWAT commander, and under cover narcotics detective after a tenure as an Army Ranger. Born from eye-opening and nearly life-ending experiences that showed him that traditional martial arts and defensive tactics totally fall apart under real life pressure, he was determined to find what REALLY works. He has since created a body of work that has become the industry standard for how to manage bad-breath range real-world violence, teaching around the world nearly every week of the year. Join us in this episode as we discuss these life lessons as he shares stories he’s never told publicly before.

This episode was recorded during my first bone marrow transplant in mid-May, 2024. In this episode, we discuss the concept of "Battle Planning," how we plan for everything between climbing a mountain to managing financial goals. But first, we first have a discussion on when in life it was hardest to persevere, prompted by a random draw of a "Table Topics" card.
