KNOW FEAR with Tony Blauer - Jay Ferruggia

I first noticed Jay online from his popular podcast Renegade Radio. We had mutual friends and so a meeting was inevitable. Jay invited me on his show and our talk went long and deep. Very deep. A lot of times, the podcast is just a 'product', there's a time domain, some cookie-cutter questions, a formula and while the content can be solid, educating and informational, some podcasts feel more like you're eating 'fast-food' than wining & dining. With Jay, there was a sincere depth and desire to connect. I knew as soon as I got my podcast up and running I would want him as a guest. He didn't disappoint and I learned there was much more to the man than I realized.

Kyle Reyes: Protecting the Kids

In the last month, we've had two insane school shootings. One that was horrific and tragic the other could've been but it was stopped quickly by an armed school resource officer. In this podcast, I discuss school safety with Kyle who has created Operation Innocence, a program designed to explore ways to keep children safe while at school. We also discuss some of the things we feel contribute to the craziness going on in society these days. Welcome back Mr. Kyle Reyes

Glenn Sunshine

I've known Glenn for about 18 years. But get this: We've never met. We've never trained together. Our connection was through my research on personal safety and managing fear.

About 8 years ago Glenn sent me an email that I have saved and reflected on several times over the years. I would read it at certain courses and events as a reminder that what we do is far deeper than learning how to throw a punch.

Here are some excerpts from Glenn's letter to me:

"...the most valuable thing I’ve gotten from my distance learning from PDR anyway...it’s the audio tape on dealing with fear. It’s been years, and I can’t even begin to tell you how much of an impact your material had on my kids, filtered in an age-appropriate way through me...

Both she and my son have really absorbed a great deal about responding to fear from your teaching; my daughter has been growing in self-confidence, traveling the world (including a 6-month stay in China), and while staying safe has utter fearlessness in confronting challenges and potentially stressful situations.

...again, due to no small measure to your instruction laying a foundation for dealing with fear.

...I’ve benefited as well, of course, but I find myself particularly grateful for the very practical ways you have helped my kids to cope and to develop skills in dealing with life that I wish I had the opportunity to learn at their age."
