In this episode I'm in conversation with a former colleague who rose up from the bad streets, to serve in the military, and then to provide over 3 decades of high-level intervention as a global security contractor. We discuss combat, awareness, mindset and much more. This one took some gymnastic efforts to make happen. I hope you enjoy it.

To celebrate episode 20, this installment will outline 20 ideas for improving your ability to make decisions under stress.

With the gracious permission of my brothers Owen Schilling and Randel Davis over at The Kung Fu Conversations Podcast, here is a rebroadcast of a conversation I had with Sifu Russ Smith. Sifu Russ expressed an interest in martial arts as a young teenager, and began learning Karate basics with a family friend. It wasn't until Russ was on extended vacation in the Philippines over thirty years ago that he began his formaltraining in Japanese Goju-Ryu under Australian instructor, Sensei Iyan Mackenzie. Russ's desire to continue research on the origins and influences on Goju-Ryu has lead him to also study Fujian and Hakka arts such as Five Ancestor (Ngo Cho Kun / Wuzuquan), White Eyebrow (Pak Mei), and White Crane Boxing styles....Russ's focus is preserving, promoting, and researching the arts of Okinawa, Southern China, Malaysia, and the Philippines at his Burinkan dojo.
