In this episode, we're joined by Michael "Mac" Macario, a retired law enforcement officer with over two decades of experience instructing officers at local, state, and federal levels. Mac shares his expertise in areas ranging from edged weapon tactics to verbal de-escalation techniques.
Mac's extensive background in self-defense and combative instruction, coupled with his current position as the dooable health™ Chairman of First Responder Initiatives, makes for an insightful conversation. We explore his journey into law enforcement, the challenges he faced, and his dedication to first responder health and wellness. Mac's unique perspective, shaped by starting his law enforcement career in his mid-thirties, offers valuable lessons on the importance of physical fitness, emotional and spiritual well-being, and the critical need for proactive mental health support in high-stress professions.
