This book is written for anyone who understands that the lives of people we love can be irretrievably broken by a home invasion or other deadly force encounter.  While many law abiding citizens insure their property, the protection of life against deadly force encounters is often ignored.  The probability of becoming the victim of a home invasion or personal assault far outweighs the chances of becoming the victim of a fire. Yet, many people understand their options for protecting against fire better than they comprehend their alternatives for protecting life.     As a professional who spends nearly every waking hour focused on protecting life or training others to protect life, I have written this book to present the modern shotgun as a viable defense option for personal safety.  This book helps crack the code around the mystery, mystique and often miscommunication about the modern shotgun.  It presents tactical applications written so the average citizen or trained operator can understand how to maximize the effectiveness of this incredible tool. The protection of one's life or the life of a loved one is a mindset. The mindset begins with awareness of how quickly one can become a victim of a deadly encounter, and how readily you can prepare to guard against the most dire outcome once awareness becomes part of your daily reality.  The modern shotgun is a tool to help you accomplish your personal, team or agency’s safety mission.  After reading this book and practicing the recommended tactics, you will improve your situational awareness and, with training, you will significantly enhance your ability to protect life in the event of a deadly encounter.  Please enjoy the reading and make time to master the techniques at the range.  Stay aware, stay focused and stay safe; and may God continue to bless and watch over you and your families.

<p>As a former corporate executive and performance consultant to Fortune 500 companies and now executive director of a full service protection agency, I have had the opportunity to see first-hand the common threads shared by highly successful leaders and high performing organizations. Through my book "Inside the Bubble,” I go back to my roots of business and leadership to provide you a peak under the tent of the common threads shared by highly successful leaders and high performing organizations. While the industries may change, the fundamental factors of success remain constant. When you peel back the onion and take away style, bravado and illusion, great leaders all share a common foundation. That foundation is built on vision, inspiration, and execution. The common mortar that holds that platform together is “simplicity as a standard.” However, one fundamental trait that I found absent from many was rejuvenation. Through the years, I have witnessed many executives who were great at running organizations, but horrible adding value at home. Others delivered phenomenal business results but left a series of body bags along the way. Without some level of balance in their lives, many become victims of their own success and it manifests itself in ulcers, high blood pressure, strokes, heart attacks and other stress related illnesses coupled with estranged family relationships and divorces. Value-driven leadership doesn’t mean you tolerate underperformance, it just means excellence can be achieved with balance and inspiration and doesn’t require intimidation to garner results. I don’t believe success and performance have to be punishing for either the leader, their employees or their families. This is my humble attempt at helping entrepreneurs, existing and inspiring leaders bridge that gap. This is not a book on protective services, but a book on business and leadership.</p>

Inside the Bubble

<p>Every day we watch the news we are constantly reminded the world is a dangerous place. Whether we are talking road rage, a home invasion, an active shooter event, terrorist activity or other civilian mass casualty incidents law abiding citizens are being forced to increase their level of situational awareness, and enhance both their self-defense IQ, as well as their weapon handling capabilities. Defensive Handgun II was written to help law abiding citizens enhance their knowledge of safe firearm handling and equip them with solid defensive handgun skills. It is often said that self-defense is a mindset, however the mindset without practical defensive skills is a hallucination. Our goal is to help make our readers and live fire workshop participants become instructor independent, verses instructor dependent. Thus, in our training and instruction, we help handgun owners master simple, repeatable defensive tactics, techniques and procedures that are implementable under stress. However, with any new process or technique, training can only expose you to concepts, however only practice can build skills. It is our goal to give you the concepts and practical drills to aid in the knowledge transfer and skill development. In the words of a great martial arts practitioner Grandmaster David James, “There is no such thing as effortless self-defense.” Self-defense is a verb not a noun, so to increase your ability to extend your protection capabilities you must take action.</p>
