He comes from a family of social entrepreneurs. His organization travels to provide compassion and companionship for seniors in assisted living facilities. His work with seniors in care facilities centers around the practice of Tang Soo Do, a Korean martial art. Throughout the pandemic, Jeff has been unable to do in-person classes due to COVID-19 facility restrictions. However, he didn’t let that stop him, and he started a YouTube channel to stay connected and keep the seniors active. Jeffrey has studied martial arts since the age of six and was inducted into the USA Martial Arts Hall of Fame at the age of 15. A nationally-ranked fighter and grappling champion, Jeff earned his black belt at the age of 13.

He now offers private virtual martial arts classes to seniors and kids who are no longer getting to have exercise classes. Jeffrey has been featured on CNN, Now This, Access Hollywood as well as on the Tamron Hall Show and as a feature in O Magazine.

One of the things we don’t do is listen more to the wisemen in our lives. There are grandparents, and uncles that have accumulated a wealth of knowledge over their lifetimes. Podcasting is an excellent way to capture that wisdom. It’s not easy because not everything they say is for everybody. And not everything they say is gold. But on this weeks episode I have a guest that is golden. We spoke for awhile and when he got comfortable he dropped some nuggets. I didn’t know him personally before this episode. I have heard of him for decades. He is going to talk about the keys to success-Sleep. He is going to talk about using caffeine effectively, how to sleep better, about church security, the Second Amendment, gun rights, the role and title of a Sheepdog, about self discipline and resilience. This grandfather is going to give some parenting 101 advice. And he is even going to talk about faith. And the importance of it. Listen to this sage speaks. You are going to thank me for this episode. My guest is retired U.S. Army Lt. Col David Grossman. Dave has five patents to his name, has published four novels, two children’s’ books, and six non-fiction books to include his “perennial bestseller” On Killing (with over half a million copies sold).Since his retirement from the US Army in 1998, he has been on the road almost 300 days a year, for over 19 years, as one of our nation’s leading trainers for military, law enforcement, mental health providers, and school safety organizations.
