Marcus Sprague, Kris Jenny, Travis Norton and our guest, Kevin Cyr, discuss active shooter training and response and some of the lessons of the past that we have yet to learn. While the nation mourns the tragedy in Uvalde, it would behoove us to discuss what we can do now to better prepare ourselves, our teams and our communities. This discussion is not intended to specifically address Uvalde, as we believe that would be premature.    Kevin Cyr is a SWAT Commander for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in the greater Vancouver metropolitan area. He has over 21 years of experience in law enforcement with a variety of specialty and leadership assignments. We like how Kevin thinks and enjoy his articles. Check him out on LinkedIn or come see his presentation at this year's CATO Conference in Reno, November 9-12th.

France Hoang says if he had to choose one word to describe himself, it would be “unemployable.” And yet, his resume is unrivaled. A Vietnamese refugee, France is a military veteran who served in multiple operations, he served as the Deputy Chief of Police and SWAT Commander for Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, he clerked for a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, he was appointed by President George W. Bush as an Associate White House Counsel and Special Assistant to the President, and he was also the founding member of both a law firm and an aerospace company. On this edition of Founders Journey, France takes us through his incredible history, how it led him to start his own company, BoodleAI, and how his experience has taught him to view entrepreneurship as a public service.

France Hoang- Military Experience France was born in Vietnam in 1973. In 1975 he was with his family in Saigon when Communist forces were closing in on the area. Luckily, him and his family were evacuated by US forces and brought to America. France said this experience motivated him to join the US Military. He has been commissioned twice terms and was honorably discharged both times. France previously deployed to the Former Yugoslavia during Operations Joint Endeavor and Joint Guard and later served as the Deputy Chief of Police and SWAT Commander for Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. He also previously worked as a lawyer at the law firm of Williams & Connolly and briefly served as an Assistant United States Attorney in the Eastern District of Virginia. “And based on that experience I felt motivated and obligated to join the military, which I did.” -France Hoang Education and Experience France graduated in the academic top 1% of his West Point class, received a Masters in Criminal Justice from Washburn University, and graduated magna cum laude from Georgetown University Law Center. He somehow also managed to pass both Ranger School and the CPA Exam. France also has over 20 years of national security experience, with service in every branch of the U.S. Government.

Shortly after leaving the White House, France mobilized in support of Operation ENDURING FREEDOM where he served as the Executive Officer of a U.S. Army Special Forces Company on a combat deployment in Southeast Afghanistan. France said he never really had any plans to start up a business during his time in the military. Entrepreneurial Company France was in contact with a guy by the name of Joe Fluitt during his time in the military. Joe had been in France’s ear about joining one of the companies he had started up when he got back from Afghanistan. France was never planning on getting involved with entrepreneurship, as he planned on going back to being a lawyer. France rejected the offer, but gave it a few days and thought about it. After careful consideration, France accepted Joe’s offer.

Long before we were all running around in leopard-skin thongs, carrying sharp sticks (concealed of course), we've been focused on one single goal... ... to survive at all costs! To help us in this endeavor, the good Lord blessed us with the world's first "cocktail" - adrenaline - designed to make us "freeze, fight, or take flight" when facing sharp teeth, or outnumbered by hairy dudes with even sharper sticks. Unfortunately (or fortunately, rather), most of us aren't staring death in the face on a daily basis... which means your ability to react decisively to defend yourself, instead of freezing like a deer in the headlights, isn't as second-nature as it should be. But there IS a way to overcome this deadly obstacle... ...with very specific "training tricks" that a former SWAT Commander, Todd Lamb, is going to show us in this week's podcast episode. (Oh, and please don't make the mistake of saying, "That would never happen to me!" It HAS happened to me, and I share my own mistakes - and lessons learned - in this week's episode.) Here's What You'll Discover In This Week's Episode: The only 3 ways to overcome "genetic survival programming" that's evolved over hundreds of thousands of years! How to employ the same technique used by spec-ops soldiers, Olympic athletes, and Chuck Norris (oh yeah!) for setting yourself up each day for peak tactical performance! Key techniques to inject "emotional realism" into all of your tactical training!  Solo stress-inoculation: Preparing your fast-action "fight response"... even without a training partner! How to maintain your tactical readiness - every single day - with just a few simple training tricks. The more I train, the more I realize just how critical those first 3 seconds are when forced to fight. This week's episode WILL increase your chances of surviving ANY type of attack! PLUS...you can grab a free "cheat sheet" inside this week's free Show Notes at www.MCSMagazine.com/222!
