“I think we should be profoundly concerned about the woke message being given to our children through our schools.” “The only thing in the world we can control is ourselves. And we give way to bitterness, if we give way to cynicism or complacency or denial, then we've given away the one thing we can control. If you lose your temper, you didn't lose it, you gave it away.” Recent events have shown us there's a force in the process of trying to take away our freedom; our ability to control our children, our families, and our communities. Even our beliefs. But ultimately these events have only served as a wakeup call. This force is not winning. It's clear that the majority will not stand by to allow this to unfold. But the way forward is standing up for the principles that support our basic human nature and promote the virtue that strengthens every aspect of our selves and our society. Lt Colonel David Grossman is a decorated soldier, Westpoint psychology professor, husband and father, and a man of faith. He's seen the battle ground and he understands the strength of a man and a society that fights with virtue for truth and freedom. He knows that a man's freedom is ultimately maintained by his virtuous principles, not his government. He's written several books, including the Amazon best seller, On Killing (Marine Core Commandants required reading), On Combat, and the soon to be released, On Hunting. He's trained military and law enforcement around the world. Dave's advice for how to empower your masculinity: Get control of your life and promote healthy sleep for your self and your family. Identify the things you can do in a violent world. Learn how to handle a weapon and know how to use it virtuously. Don't live in fear. Get control of your children, their training and education. Get control of local politics, school boards. Invest in their education and future through faith based, private education. Live a virtuous life. Build a virtuous family. Some of Dave's other books are; On Combat, On Spiritual Combat, Sheepdog (kids book), and his latest book, soon to be published is, On Hunting.

He has written numerous books and publications on the topic like his well known books On Combat, and On Killing and is globally known as the subject matter expert on dealing with violence in a violent world. He has testified before congress, been an expert witness in high profile cases like the Timothy McVeigh trial and has trained countless mental health, law enforcement, and military professionals globally. He has advised presidents on topics revolving around violent video games and media and is also, and most importantly, a man of God.

¿Qué es un sesgo? La toma de decisiones es una actividad que forma parte de la vida cotidiana de los seres humanos. Estas decisiones se nutren de las creencias, percepciones, sentimientos y pensamientos personales, pero también cuentan con una gran influencia de lo que se conoce como sesgos cognitivos. Los sesgos cognitivos son desarrollados por todas las personas y tratan de auténticos impulsores capaces de modificar radicalmente la forma en que percibimos las cosas, en consecuencia, alterando las decisiones que tomamos en nuestra vida personal, académica o laboral. ¿De dónde aprendimos seguridad? ¡Hollywood! Todavía hoy se toman decisiones de Protección Ejecutiva basadas en lo sesgos que ocasiona Hollywood porque apela a nuestro sesgo de confirmación. Hollywood hace que el cerebro se familiarice con conceptos erróneos de seguridad ¿Qué hace un verdadero protector de personas? En su libro On Combat, el Teniente Coronel Dave Grossman compara a los seres humanos con un rebaño de ovejas, que son realmente incapaces de hacerse daño mutuamente (no tienen una real capacidad de violencia), sin embargo existen lobos, que son la excepción, pero sin embargo existen y se alimentan de las ovejas sin compasión, por lo tanto se creó la necesidad de tener Perros Ovejeros que protejan a las ovejas de los lobos. Las ovejas prefieren vivir en negación, así es la naturaleza de las ovejas, estas pueden aceptar la posibilidad de un incendio, por lo tanto quieren extintores, rehiletes y alarmas en las escuelas de sus hijos. Pero la mayoría se escandalizan si se colocase un guardia armado en la puerta. La probabilidad de que sus hijos sean lastimados a causa de violencia es mil veces mayor a que sufran a causa de un incendio, pero la reacción de las ovejas ante la posibilidad de violencia, generalmente es negación, la idea de que alguien podría lastimar o matar a uno de sus hijos es demasiado dura, por lo tanto prefieren no pensar en eso. Las ovejas generalmente no quieren al Perro Ovejero, se parece demasiado al lobo, tiene colmillos y una gran capacidad de violencia. Sin embargo, la necesidad del Perro Ovejero en México se ha vuelto una realidad, ¿pero que hace realmente a un Perro Ovejero, y no a un perro bravo que se perderá en el ataque? En el momento del conflicto, y cuando la violencia empieza a subir, las emociones empiezan a desbordarse y esto puede tener un gran efecto sobre como las personas ven las cosas. Echando un vistazo a la historia, en la segunda guerra mundial solo de 15 a 20 por ciento de los soldados tuvieron la capacidad de disparar contra el enemigo, para la guerra de Corea esto subió al 50%. ¿Qué cambio?

Hoy vivimos en un ambiente de seguridad en donde hay demasiadas respuestas y pocas preguntas. Todos tienen respuestas acerca de distintos temas, sin embargo, las preguntas correctas no se están haciendo. Hoy, es tiempo de generar un espacio para cambiar y generar paradigmas. Sin embargo, ¿qué es un paradigma? En México y en distintas disciplinas, el término está muy mal entendido, incluso se utiliza como moneda de cambio cuando decimos que algo es incorrecto. Un paradigma es un concepto mental con el cual interpretamos lo que observamos, por ejemplo: Cuando tocamos algo caliente y sentimos dolor, retiramos nuestra mano para dejar de sentirlo; de esta manera cada vez que tengamos un ingreso de información -el fuego o una fuente de calor-, reaccionaremos con base en nuestro paradigma de que está caliente y provoca dolor. A medida que crecemos, creamos paradigmas que rigen nuestra vida y nuestra manera de interpretar la realidad -aunque hay que decir que muchas veces éstos son incorrectos-. Un excelente ejemplo son las actitudes y acciones durante esta pandemia: La creencia de la eficacia del dioxido de cloro empezó cuando una familia con COVID-19, ingirió esta sustancia y después de un tiempo determinado, no perecieron a causa del virus. Sin embargo, esto no significa que el dióxido de cloro curara el COVID-19. El Paradigma es un mapa mental heredado o aprendido de cómo son las cosas o cómo deberían de ser.Stephen Covey Pero, ¿qué pasa cuando llega alguien a cambiarnos el mapa mental en el que basamos todo nuestro entrenamiento y nuestras habilidades? ¡Duele! Es difícil aceptar que lo que hacemos es incorrecto y es aun más difícil aceptar que no sabemos lo que creíamos tener por seguro. Imaginemos que antes pensábamos que la tierra era el centro del universo y no que nosotros girábamos al rededor de él. ¿Cuán difícil debió haber sido para los grandes pensadores de la época, aceptarlo? ¿Qué son los hábitos y qué tienen que ver con los paradigmas? En el libro de On Combat del Teniente Coronel Dave Grossman explica el tema de cómo supieron las Fuerzas Armadas que su entrenamiento estaba mal. Comenta que los errores que cometieron, le costaron la vida a varios soldados y que a partir de la situación surgió la duda sobre ¿Cómo saber que los hábitos de entrenamiento que tenemos son los correctos? Los hábitos se generan según nuestras habilidades y se moldean conforme lo hacen los paradigmas: Cuando nosotros entrenamos se crean hábitos a partir de nuevos paradigmas y éstos resultan -para bien o para mal- en un actividad que nuestro cerebro hará automáticamente. Es importante que nos sentemos a pensar cuáles son las actividades que hacemos automáticamente y nos cuestionemos si son decisiones concientes. Debemos decir que como protectores es nuestra obligación revisar qué actividades diarias funcionan y cuáles de esas actividad son las que estoy haciendo en automático. Estamos en un tiroteo, disparas a tu objetivo 22 veces y eres consciente de que duró 15 segundos. Sin embargo, te dicen que hiciste dos disparos en 13 minutos. Esto nos dice que nuestro cerebro nos muestra una realidad muy distinta a los hechos; sin embargo, esta experiencia es sumamente importante para analizar nuestro cuerpo bajo altos niveles de estrés. ¿Quién hace la política de entrenamiento para el ejército, el solado o el psicólogo que analiza los casos par hacerlos más eficientes? Es importante preguntarnos cuál es papel de ambos profesionales o cómo podemos utilizar todas las disciplinas para crear entrenamientos eficientes. Hoy nos cuestionamos la realidad psicológica que dice que no debemos pensar fuera de La Caja, porque

When studied carefully, this issue is actually revealed to be a deadly epidemic gripping our world – and specifically our military – today. Lt. Col. David Grossman (US Army, Ret.) is an author and law enforcement trainer who has specialized in the study of the psychology of killing on the human psyche. Since 1998, he has been on the road almost 300 days a year, as one of our nation's leading trainers for military, law enforcement, mental health providers, and school safety organizations. Following his retirement from the Army, Grossman founded the Killology Research Group to educate law enforcement officers and soldiers how to improve outcomes in lethal encounters. Grossman is best known for his police training program, based on the self-coined study of "killology", which aims to reduce officers' psychological inhibition to kill suspects. His widely acclaimed books, such as On Killing and On Combat, as well as his brand new book, On Spiritual Combat: 30 Missions for Victorious Warfare, are available now on Amazon.

He is also the director of the Killology Research Group and actually developed the term “killology,” considered the study of the psychological and physiological effects of killing and combat on the human psyche.Anyone in law enforcement and/or the military know Lt Col Grossman for his work on studying combat and killing specifically. Lt Col Grossman I was so pumped to interview Lt Col Dave Grossman as I've been following his work for years. As a new officer and after a major incident, it was suggested to me to read his work On Combat.

Public Safety Professionals are killing themselves more than the people they encounter daily in their profession. As a Public Safety Professional this is devastating and unacceptable. The problem is Public Safety Professionals do not get a lot of training when it comes to dealing with social emotional issues. As a Police Officer, I learned to shoot, drive, fight, enforce laws and protect citizens but I never learned about the social emotional impact trauma has on my family and I over my career. When I discovered trauma informed care and applied it to my job and my personal life, I realized this training is needed across our industry.I found the right partnerships and created Going Beyond The Call Mental Health Fitness for Public Safety Professionals. I want to reduce Public Safety suicides dramatically over the next 5 years. Lt. Colonel David Grossman wrote the foreword for our book and had this to say: "One of the most important books (and programs) of our time. A hidden impact, a stigmatized secret that overshadows the men and women who sacrifice every day. With this training and these tactics for wellness, we can stop the tragic statistics to these professions. Going Beyond the Call is an action plan for the magnificent individuals who “go beyond the call” every day, and for our very civilization, to survive and thrive amid death and darkness. We must begin a process, a movement, a revolution, a culture shift in training in which every first responder is well equipped with the information in this vital book and training."By: Lt. Col. Dave Grossman, author, On Killing, On Combat, & Assassination Generation This program is designed to help Public Safety Organizations:*Bridge gaps in the communities they serve*Reduce liability and lower the bottom line *Create a higher quality of life mentally, physically, and physiologically professionally and personally. * Save First Responders Lives

It turns out there are plenty of parallels between the sharp-end of healthcare and the battlefield. This podcast put On Combat on the EM map.

Col. Dave Grossman (Ret.).  ;)In these books, Grossman shares research he had conducted with law enforcement and military veterans who had been in deadly force encounters.  On Killing is great for some of the rarely discussed dark sides of combat, but the belle of the ball here is On Combat, a great guide to the psychological and physiological processes that happen when human beings find themselves in life-or-death situations involving violence.Shockingly (or not), the VAST majority of content in this book is mentioned rarely, if at all, by the military, at least not in an official capacity.  Which is why we both strongly recommend reading at least On Combat for those who are or have been in combat arms or law enforcement.Thanks for listening!  Go check out Pat at www.uncensoredtactical.com!

Retired Army Lieutenant Colonel and renown author Dave Grossman essentially created the field of killology. His books On Killing and On Combat have made an entire generation of military, law enforcement, and first responders more ready for the stressful, sometimes violent situations they face. Long after his active duty career, Dave has continued to teach the stress-response techniques outlined in his books, traveling to hundreds of bases, posts, and precincts over the years. In this episode, you discover what happens in the body during combat. Visual distortion, auditory exclusion, memory distortion, vasoconstriction, and loss of bladder control are all physiological effects that Soldiers and law enforcement personnel experience in extreme stress but rarely prepare for. Dave Grossman's books and instruction prepare combatants and protectors for the challenge of face-to-face violent stress and infuse confidence in those who have never experienced it before. If you have a team who might face violent stress one day, they need to hear this conversation. Personally, I can tell you that reading On Killing and On Combat made me more prepared for my own combat experience. I invite you to do the same. Read more about Dave Grossman's work at Killology Research Group and check out his books On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society and On Combat, The Psychology and Physiology of Deadly Conflict in War and in Peace.

"At a time when we must adapt to the changing character of conflict, this is a serious book on a serious issue that can give us the edge we need.”—General James Mattis, USMC, Ret."Left of Bang offers a crisp lesson in survival in which Van Horne and Riley affirm a compelling truth: It's better to detect sinister intentions early than respond to violent actions late. Left of Bang helps readers avoid the bang."—Gavin de Becker, bestselling author of The Gift of Fear"Rare is the book that is immediately practical and interesting. Left of Bang accomplishes this from start to finish. There is something here for everyone in the people business and we are all in the people business."—Joe Navarro, bestselling author of What Every BODY is Saying."Left of Bang is a highly important and innovative book that offers a substantial contribution to answering the challenge of Fourth Generation war (4GW)."—William S. Lind, author of Maneuver Warfare Handbook"Like Sun Tzu's The Art of War, Left of Bang isn't just for the military. It's a must read for anyone who has ever had a gut feeling that something's not quite right...be it walking down the street, sitting in a corporate boardroom, or even entering an empty home."-- Steven Pressfield, bestselling author of The Lion's Gate, The Warrior Ethos and Gates of Fire“An amazing book! Applying the lessons learned during the longest war in American history, and building on seminal works like The Gift of Fear and On Combat, this book provides a framework of knowledge that will bring military, law enforcement, and individual citizens to new levels of survival mindset and performance in life-and-death situations. Left of Bang is an instant classic.”--Lt.

But how many times have you talked yourself out of leaving the restaurant, getting off the elevator, or getting over your silly “gut” feeling about someone? Is there a way to not just listen to your inner protector more, but to actually increase your sensitivity to threats before they happen?Legendary Marine General James Mattis asked the same question and issued a directive to operationalize the Marine Corps' Combat Hunter program.
