What would you do in an active shooter situation? Following a recent tragedy in NYC, Jason, Gabe, and MDV discuss how to prepare for moments of crisis—mentally and physically. From trusting your gut to keeping your head on a swivel, this episode dives into the importance of situational awareness, training, and why capability matters.
They also explore the role of men in creating safer communities, the biological realities of size and strength, and why women need men who train hard and show up when it counts. Plus: the official TRAIN HARD burpee test is here (yes, MDV is calling everyone out), and Producer Liz drops a HOT TAKE on how women really feel when it comes to safety.
If you care about being prepared, being capable, and protecting the people you love—this one’s for you.
