I sat down with Sean Bonilla, founder of Ready and Able Defense and a law enforcement officer who came up through the fight world, and we dig into a question that doesn't get asked enough: are you even cleaning up your house before you try to fix it?Sean lays out a framework that cuts through the noise, starting with the one thing competitive fighting taught him that most cops never get: frequency of consequence. When you fight, you feel the cost of skipping training. In law enforcement, you can go years without that wake up call, and that gap is where complacency lives. The conversation moves from there into how to actually structure team training, why bringing in a third party before you have consistent SOPs just adds mud to a muddy plate, and why the frontline supervisor is the most important training role in any agency.This one is not about gear, and it is not about tactics. It is about the process of building people who think, move predictably, and keep getting better. Whether you are a TL, a shift sergeant, a new patrol officer trying to spark something in your squad, or just a serious practitioner trying to get the most out of your range time, there is something here that is going to make you rewind the tape and take notes.Sean is the same guy in person as he is online: organized, patient, genuinely invested in the people he is talking to, and blunt enough to call out the problems without making it personal. That comes through in every minute of this conversation.In this episode:• Fighting creates frequent, high consequence feedback loops that law enforcement rarely replicates naturally, and that infrequency of real testing is the root cause of complacency, not laziness or bad character• Before bringing in a third party instructor, a team must first have consistent, written SOPs and TTPs so that outside training reinforces the foundation rather than layering confusion on top of an already dirty plate• The frontline supervisor is the most critical training position in any agency: one sergeant who pays out of pocket, shows up, and brings his whole shift along does more for culture than any top down mandate• Confusing preference with policy is one of the most damaging things an instructor can do: if two instructors are contradicting each other on how to run a structure, the new guy has nowhere solid to stand• Predictability is the actual goal of team training, not novelty or complexity: if your guys cannot predict what each other will do, you have not earned the right to complicate the problem yet• The debrief is where the real teaching happens: pulling the answer out of the student instead of telling it to them forces the brain to work harder, sticks better in long term memory, and leaves the person knowing they can succeed, not just that they failed• Setting the expectation that missing is part of training and that 100 percent speed must be tested regularly removes the fear of failure that keeps shooters locked into safe, slow, improvement resistant habits• Identifying the deficiency first and then constructing a specific plan to address it applies equally to a two person private lesson, a SWAT team training cycle, and a sales organization, the process is the same at every levelChapters:0:01 Intro: The Capable Standard and The Brief2:33 How Scott Found Sean and Why He Wanted This Conversation6:40 Sean's Background: Fighting, Faith, and the Road to Law Enforcement8:45 What Fighting Taught Sean That Law Enforcement Can't Replicate19:32 Military Rejections and the Persistence That Led to a Badge23:44 Full Circle: Working for the Department That Once Arrested Him40:31 Early Exposures, Academy Culture, and the Gap Nobody Talks About50:50 Why the Frontline Supervisor Is the Most Important Training Role1:38:18 SOPs, Consistency, and Not Confusing Preference for Policy1:58:27 Earning the Right to Complicate: Building Predictability First2:10:05 Debriefing the Right Way: Extraction Over Instruction2:30:24 Where to Find Sean and Ready and Able DefenseMentioned:Sean Bonilla — Guest on this episode, founder of Ready and Able Defense, law enforcement officer, MMA fighter, and firearms trainer based in South Florida.Chris Kuras — Scott's original connection to South Florida, runs Good Dude Concepts and provides CQB training, which brought Scott down to the area for this episode.Zack Harrison — Referenced by Scott as a recent Iron Sights guest whose conversation about early exposures and training investment directly connected to themes in this episode.Chris Palmer — Scott credits him with introducing the phrase 'knee jerk reaction machine' to describe how law enforcement agencies respond reactively to critical incidents.
Jim Norton and Matt Serra get ready for UFC 332 with a pair of main-card fighters: returning middleweight Ateba Gautier and first-time guest Natalia Silva.First, Gautier joins the show ahead of his matchup with Roman Kopylov and reveals a few unexpected layers outside the cage. If you heard a middleweight knockout artist say he was a My Little Pony fan, a physics lover and a geology major, which one would you not believe? In Gautier's case, two of those are true — and you have to hear him explain it for yourself. He also talks about his natural power, preparing for Kopylov's durability, training in Las Vegas and continuing to evolve from fight to fight.Then, Jim and Matt make some UFC 332 picks before welcoming #1 women's flyweight Natalia Silva and translator Fabiano Buskei to the show. Silva reflects on starting Taekwondo through a social program in Brazil, pushing through early MMA losses and injuries, and finally reaching Saturday's vacant title fight against Wang Cong.Silva also talks about preparing for five rounds, what she expects from Wang's striking, and what it means to represent the small Brazilian town of Pingo-d'Água on a world championship stage before Jim and Matt wrap up with final thoughts and picks for Saturday's card.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this week's 5 Yrs Ago Flashback episode of the Wade Keller Pro Wrestling Post-show (9-27-2021), PWTorch editor Wade Keller was joined by PWTorch.com's Robert Vallejos to review WWE Monday Night Raw with live calls and emails. They discussed a pre-draft “lame duck” episode storyline-wise and try to make sense of what happened and determine what matters and ultimately didn't matter, including cross-signals and head-scratching women's segments throughout. Also, was it bait and switch or a bonus to have Big E vs. Bobby Lashley twice, thoughts on the reuniting of Hurt Business, what Drew McIntyre's appearance might be about, the standout A.J. Styles vs. Riddle and Sheamus vs. Damian Priest matches, plus Goldberg's boneheaded statement that he hopes to murder Bobby Lashley in Saudi Arabia and was Vince McMahon on the verge of outright cutting Karrion Kross. Oh, some Jimmy Smith bashing and sympathy for Corey Graves holding it together as well as he does each week.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/wade-keller-pro-wrestling-post-shows--3275545/support.

Host Branden Hudson welcomes back coach and friend Louie Amabili, who went from working in a tire shop to starting Brazilian jiu-jitsu through his daughter, competing in MMA, winning titles, and then rapidly growing a real estate career. Louie explains his “coachable” mindset—observing successful people and following their proven blueprint—crediting lessons from his father about attitude, effort, and hustling. He discusses joining the Maryland and Delaware Group with Branden Brittingham's team, arguing that lower splits are offset by provided photography, leads, and extensive training, helping him out-earn his first-year totals within six months and stay on pace to 10X year two. They address ego, consistency, market negativity, the hybrid investing/agent model, impostor syndrome on a million-dollar deal, and persevering through difficult personal custody challenges while building businesses and coaching youth football.00:00 From Tire Shop to Titles01:02 Welcome Back Louie01:47 Real Estate Takes Off03:38 Why Louie Is Coachable06:21 Ego and Following Blueprints11:26 Misconceptions About The Team12:33 Splits Leads and Support17:11 Hybrid Agent Opportunity18:48 Reps Appointments and Problem Solving21:12 Million Dollar Deal Mindset21:54 Fear and Growth Mindset22:53 Market Noise vs Daily Habits24:34 Winning in High Rates26:14 Simple Success Formula27:34 Handling Personal Adversity30:12 Coaching Kids Through Hard31:40 Choose Your Hard33:54 Saying Yes Opens Doors36:33 Build Confidence With Small Wins39:41 Plugs and Final Sendoff

What does it take to build a career in combat sports while traveling the world and raising a family?On this episode of The Travel Wins Podcast, I sit down with Greg Bloom, CEO of Red Owl Boxing, for a conversation about boxing, business, law, international travel, leadership and the family support required to make an unconventional career work.Greg's journey through combat sports began while he was still in law school.After helping a professional fighter navigate a contractual dispute, Greg began managing fighters and eventually built a sports agency representing athletes across boxing and MMA.More than two decades later, he has experienced the fight business from almost every angle—as an attorney, manager, adviser, and executive.Today, he's bringing that experience to Red Owl Boxing, where he's helping expand a growing boxing brand focused on developing the sport's next generation of fighters.We discuss Red Owl's philosophy of building reputations instead of simply protecting undefeated records, expanding boxing into new markets, creating better opportunities for developing fighters and the company's ambitious plans for the future.But this conversation goes beyond boxing.Greg has spent years traveling throughout the United States and internationally for fights and business while also raising a family.We talk about the reality of leaving home for another event, another meeting or another country—and how important it has been to have an understanding and supportive wife helping make that career possible.In this episode:
One of the scariest moments we've seen inside the UFC cage.
Today we jump back 15 years to two back-to-back episodes of the PWTorch Livecast from Sept. 18 and 19, 2011.On the Sept. 18, 2011 episode, PWTorch assistant editor James Caldwell and PWTorch columnist Greg Parks discussed with live callers the just-completed PPV from all angles, with Parks in-person at the PPV to compare notes on the event. They focused on the big three matches - World Title, WWE Title, and Hunter-Punk, including a weird R-Truth moment, the booking of Beth Phoenix-Kelly Kelly, the latest John Cena title victory, whether CM Punk gained or lost anything in the main event, the over-arching issue of WWE devaluing titles and whether the titles, stories, or both are not over, announcing issues, look-ahead to Survivor Series with Rock and Cena, and more. In the previously VIP-exclusive Aftershow, they talked more about Parks's in-person perspective, including a fight in the stands, and much more.Then on the Sept. 19, 2011 episode, Wade was joined by PWTorch columnist Bruce Mitchell.

Rocio Cortez had never played a sport. She'd never been in a weight room. At 27 she walked into a jujitsu gym, and three and a half years later she's training wrestling, striking, MMA and Muay Thai, and she's competed at Apex twice.The number that matters in this conversation is not the 275-pound deadlift she pulled at a bodyweight of 119. It's three and a half years. That's how long it took to build the body she has now, and she never once trained for it directly. She trained to get faster, to jump higher, to get stronger. The body followed.Tara and Rocio get honest about what that stretch actually felt like: the days she took progress photos and hated them, the clothes that stopped fitting, the body dysmorphia that showed up right as she was making her best gains.In this episode:Why the people you train around change what you believe is possible for youHow to build a circle when you're the shy one in the cornerGrieving friendships that fade when your lifestyle changes, and why the real ones modify the hangout insteadStarting at 27, and how Rocio stopped mourning the years she didn't trainWhat actually makes you an athlete, and why Tara says you don't have to compete to be oneWhy being a beginner is an advantage, not a liabilityTraining for performance and letting the body sort itself out103 pounds to 120: learning to use a body that's changedDiet culture, double zero pants, and 100 crunches before bedInjury, warming up, and why pushing through isn't a planStarting martial arts as a woman when the room is mostly menHow to know you're progressing when the weight on the bar has stalledScreen time, comparison, and curating a feed that doesn't cost you anythingTimestamps:00:42 Welcome to Broads01:35 You are who you surround yourself with04:24 Building your five people07:11 When friendships fade09:53 Starting at 27 and grieving lost time13:00 What makes you an athlete14:41 Why Rocio likes being a beginner18:02 Where the intimidation actually comes from21:18 Training for performance, and the body that followed23:40 Diet culture and high school25:26 103 to 12027:16 Injuries and the machismo mindset29:09 Being a woman in a male-dominated sport30:18 How to start jujitsu when you're intimidated32:31 "I work out but I don't look like I work out"33:20 Three and a half years of reps35:44 Progress when the weight stalls37:25 Perfectionism, imposter syndrome and screen time42:34 Curating who you follow44:36 For the woman focused on how she looks46:53 Get a coachConnect with Rocio:https://www.instagram.com/rockin_rocio/https://www.rociocortez.com/Learn more about Broads: www.broads.app

What I learned from reading Mark: A journey to the heart of history's largest nonterritorial empire by Jeremy Stern. Made possible by: Ramp: https://ramp.com Applovin: https://applovin.com Vanta: https://vanta.com/founders 0:00 — "For these, I set no bounds in space or time. I have given empire without end." — Latin verse from the Aeneid, recalled by Mark Zuckerberg 2:55 — "Carthage must be destroyed." — Mark Zuckerberg on Google 2:59 — Sean Parker observed "this kind of imperial tendency" in Mark. 3:35 — "Either a Caesar or nothing." (Zuckerberg's shirt) 4:25 — "What is it like to be one of the most powerful men in human history, who, by age 42 has secured a place in the books that'll be written about his era for centuries after his death?" 4:55 — "People call him arrogant. He's not. But time after time, his arrogance just turns into truth." 7:25 — "One day they will be out of office and eventually dead, while Zuckerberg, whose majority control of Meta's voting power makes his removal effectively impossible, could in fifty years still be ruler of his empire." 8:05 — "The more power a man acquires, the more his empire expands, the more he depends on other people for information about everything from his own court to the furthest reaches of the empire." (The Dictator's Dilemma) 14:15 — "I think we all have a void in our lives, and the lucky ones find something that fills that space to make us more optimal, to make us a better human being. Mark filled the void with fighting." — Zuckerberg's MMA coach 16:40 — "There have been too many things that I've tried to build and then have been told, 'Nah, you can't really build that,' by the platform provider. At some level, I'm just like, 'Nah, fuck that.'" — Mark Zuckerberg 18:05 — "Meta's capital expenditure this year will exceed the military budget of every country on Earth except the United States, China, and Russia." 18:15 — "This is how it is for him; there is no stopping. He is not like the others of his vintage, who all at some point abdicate, or sell, or are overthrown." 20:15 — "I'm never going to stop." — Mark Zuckerberg 31:15 — "Mark is the fucking Terminator. He's actually not an asshole. He's not a miserable fuck. His source of advantage is he's never happy. He just doesn't fucking stop." — A researcher at a competing AI lab, who formerly worked at Meta 39:55 — "This is who I am. I love this. I didn't set out to build a company. I just love building things." — Mark Zuckerberg 40:35 — "You can't take this away from him. He wouldn't be him if he stopped."
