Dave Acosta is back! In Episode 8 I interviewed him about his extensive tactical experience.  He goes into depth on how to unleash the excellence in your DNA!  This episode focuses on his skillset as an Authority on Active shooters and Personal Protection. In this capacity Dave has been recognized nationally and has been featured on various media outlets.

Dave and his team also created a program and trained over 6000 teachers to date in effective “Fight Back” techniques, arming teachers with the skillset to respond if an active shooter comes to their school. 

This Episode’s Warrior Challenge

Is a direct quote from Dave in the episode. He said:  “We will learn to feel better about ourselves when we overtly commit an action everyday that benefits someone else, especially if it’s a perfect stranger. “ Your challenge is to start finding ways and taking actions to benefit someone else, particularly if they are a stranger. To unleash your inner warrior you must take action!  Dave Challenges you to at least 3 times do something that benefits a stranger that you wouldn’t normally have done. Stay accountable by letting me know what you did on the TAMF website or social media sites.

In this episode Dave covers:

  • Then tendency to shut down
  • A teacher’s responsibility
  • Its in your DNA to fight back
  • The reason active shooters are successful
  • Cover vs. concealment
  • How to plan an attack/ambush

  • Psychological transitions

  • Mental Preparation to fight back
  • Challenging yourself
  • Valuing others over ourselves

    “When people act without hesitation on behalf of others, we win”

    “We will learn to feel better about ourselves when we overtly commit an action everyday that benefits someone else, especially if it’s a perfect stranger. “
