Dr. Sandie Morgan is joined by her friend and colleague, Madelyn Rodriguez, as the two discuss the importance of restorative practices. Madelyn Rodriguez Madelyn Rodriguez is the Director of Programs at Project Kinship, where she leads and works alongside teams dedicated to supporting and training individuals impacted by incarceration, gangs, community violence, and trauma. She has a strong background in community intervention, clinical leadership, and restorative practices. Madelyn is passionate about providing culturally competent, community based, behavioral and mental health services. Key Points Project Kinship aims to provide a sense of home and community for individuals impacted by incarceration, gangs, violence, and trauma. The organization's approach fosters a judgment-free environment where individuals can feel safe to express their pain and experiences. To ensure an individual feels heard and supportive in their healing journey, it is important to use trauma-informed care. One aspect o fthis is empathic accuracy, which involves understanding and responding accurately to the emotional state of an individual.  Restorative practices play a crucial role in addressing community violence and individual trauma. These practices focus on repairing relationships, building community, and cultivating leadership while maintaining the emotional safety of participants. Project Kinship engages with community partners and employs "live handoffs" rather than simple referrals, ensuring vulnerable individuals receive the support they need and foster meaningful connections to promote healing and stability. Consistent, supportive relationships and interventions can help facilitate healing and personal growth in both youth and adults. With dedication and the right support, healing is possible for those affected by trauma.

Tim is a former military intelligence officer, a Black Belt Hall of Fame inductee, and is America's leading Pro-Victim Rights and Personal Safety Advocate.

He also trains people from all walks of life in self-defense. He got into martial arts at a young age and subsequently started Navy SEALS training. After an injury affected his ability to train, he started focusing his energy on hand-to-hand combat, and later, teaching self-defense and self-protection. Tim dives into the complexities of violence, and why it's so important that people start reclaiming their right to violence to prepare and protect themselves.

In Part 2 of the Business Outlaws interview with Tim Larkin, creator of Target Focus Training and author of Survive the Unthinkable and When Violence is the Answer, BigMike, Chris “Bulldog” Collins and host Jayme Foxx continue their discussion on protecting yourself in violent situations by understanding how predators view your body. In business, the same principle applies — to protect yourself from the people who can hurt you, you’ve got to think how they think.Larkin illustrates this point by sharing a story about how a drug trafficker used his daughter’s presence during a vehicle stop to mentally disarm the officer who stopped him, giving the trafficker the opportunity to attack the officer. Thinking like the people who threaten your success isn’t an automatic process, but it’s a necessary one for any entrepreneur. As BigMike said, “There’s a monster in all of us. We just don’t want to face it.” Knowing when to unleash the monster can save your life and your business.Once you’ve finished listening to the episode, go to BusinessOutlaws.com for exclusive content and behind-the-scenes footage of BigMike, Chris, Jayme and Larkin.

When It's Time for Unrelenting Violence   Aren't we supposed to “turn the other cheek” or take down a bad guy with “just enough” force?   Isn't teaching violence a “bad” thing to do?   As a Self Defense instructor I am put up against these types of philosophical questions daily. It's a constant tightrope walk between what's socially acceptable and the taboos of violence.   Unfortunately there is no escaping that there may come a time when one must channel violence to fight violence. This isn't about war, or ”fighting” for peace with sticks and guns. I'm talking about that one situation that we all fear, the one that makes your stomach churn even thinking about it.   Imagine waking up with a shadow above your bed, and a gun to your head. An intruder is preparing to do unspeakable things to you and your family.   In such situations, we must forget socially acceptable norms and channel our inner violent monster.   Being as close to law enforcement as I am AND from teaching self defense to 100s of victims of violence, I have heard many stories of both victory and defeat.   One in particular comes to mind, and for the sake of privacy some minor details and names have been altered.   In LA a few years ago, a rapist and murderer was targeting women, first raping and then killing them, and local law enforcement were at a loss to find him.   One night, a woman in her 20s was jogging. At night. Alone. With headphones on. (Sigh… limiting your awareness like this is always a recipe for disaster.)   As she was jogging, someone came out of nowhere and slammed her her head against the wall, pinning her down with unrelenting force. He tore her clothes off as the blood ran down her head. In a daze, she had no clue what was happening. Until she did.   Luckily, she had a decent amount of self defense training behind her, and as that training kicked in, she fought back vehemently. The attacker slammed her to the ground and shoved his fingers into her mouth to shut her up. With the force of a pit bull, she clamped down. The attacker, shocked and paralyzed, took off running.   When the authorities finally showed up, she gave them his finger.   He is now in jail.      I have other stories, but they don't have happy endings, so for now, let's stick with this one.   See, there are two different types of encounters: social aggression and asocial violence.   I stole this idea from Tim Larkins new book, “When Violence is the Answer.” The book is a great read and a great incentive to understand and embody the monster we have deep within us — to summon him/her when the time is right.   Think Hulk.   Social aggression is the “Monkey Dance” as Rory Miller would describe. It's a social status situation, just like when two guys at a bar pumping their chest, trying to be “bigger” than the other.   Usually there's talking involved, posturing, and sometimes even flipping the bird.   The social cues start to escalate and a fight breaks loose.   OR maybe someone's holding a knife to your throat, demanding all of your belongings.   These are, for the most part, social aggression situations that can settled in a non violent manner.   In fact, I would argue that 99.9% of social aggression situations can be avoided completely.   How? Simple. Use your head! Not your ego.   Walk away.   Don't go to certain areas.   Don't cause a stir by eyeballing people.   Use verbal Jujitsu and common sense to talk your way out of a fight.   Avoid violence at all costs.   Ready for another couple stories?   Two similar true stories with vastly different outcomes.   Story 1: There were two guys on a street corner. Cue the monkey dance routine. They were puffing out their chests and calling each other names. Guy #1 struck the opponent and caused him to fall to the cement. Guy #1 then kicked him in the head, neck, and back. His teeth were falling onto the sidewalk and blood was splattering everywhere. It was absolutely terrifying to watch. No one around was help

“When Violence is the answer, it’s the only answer.” - Tim Larkin. I always loved that quote. It’s misunderstood by people who don’t understand how predators think. Join me for a provocative talk with the creator of Target Focus Training and my friend Tim Larkin.

Can you protect yourself and your family? I mean if shit gets serious, are you really ready?  What if someone tries to seriously harm you or your loved ones?  As much as we may dream about a nonviolent utopia, the reality is it’s better to be safe than sorry. And to be safe you have to be prepared.  Violent, dangerous people are out there and wishing them away will never work. If you never want to become someone’s victim you can’t afford to miss the all new #RenegadeRadioPodcast with self-protection expert Tim Larkin.    As a former military intelligence officer Tim was part of the group that redesigned how Special Operations personnel train for close combat.  Over the course of his 25 year career he has shown people in 52 countries how to deal with imminent violence.  He’s trained over 10,000 clients in his Target Focused Training, including Elite Military Units and Special Law Enforcement Agencies.  Tim is also the author of great self-protection books including “How to Survive”, “Survive the Unthinkable” and, most recently, “When Violence is The Answer”.   Show notes for this and every episode can be found at www.JasonFerruggia.com   This episode is brought to you by Four Sigmatic, which I use every single day.  What is Four Sigmatic? It's mushroom coffee made with the active ingredient, Lion’s mane mushroom (also known as the “smart mushroom”). Lion’s Mane has long been used by Buddhist monks for better focus during meditation for years. I know you're going to say you don't want to drink coffee that tastes like mushrooms, but it doesn't. Four Sigmatic:   Is gut friendly and great for those who get an upset stomach from regular coffee. Gets you cranked up for your day, but not jittery and anxiety ridden because it contains less than half the caffeine of regular coffee. Comes in handy packets that you just mix with hot or cold water. Takes just a second to prepare. Go to  http://www.foursigmatic.com/jay and use the code JAY to get 15% discount.
