What’s Next for Defenders LIVE

A first Tactical Games Skirmish, a heart-led project in motion, and new episodes coming soon.

It’s been a little while since you’ve heard from me — and I just wanted to check in and let you know:

I’m still here. Still committed. Still building. And I’m coming back stronger.

Last week, I competed in my first Tactical Games Skirmish — and wow… it pushed me in ways I didn’t expect. I recorded a short after-action report sharing what happened, what I learned, and what it stirred in me. You can watch it here:

Behind the scenes, I’ve also been working hard on something I care deeply about — a new program built to equip people with real tools for becoming stronger protectors, grounded leaders, and more capable humans in today’s world. It’s not ready to launch just yet… but it’s getting close.

Most of all, I want to say thank you.
For staying connected.
For continuing to support this channel and this mission.
For believing in the vision of developing protectors of life.

🎙 While new podcast episodes are coming soon, don’t forget — there are already 160+ episodes on the Defenders LIVE YouTube channel, with hundreds of hours of wisdom-packed conversations you can revisit anytime.

When I return with fresh episodes, they’re going to matter. These next ones will be important — the kind you’ll want to listen to more than once.

So thank you again. I’m still here. I’m still moving forward. And if you ever need anything — truly — you can always reach out.
