Welcome back to Mental Perk! In this episode, we’re joined by Brian Ulch, a seasoned security professional with over 32 years of experience in close contact knife and firearms training and multiple martial arts styles. As a licensed instructor with the Texas Private Security Bureau, Brian has spent the last 12 years as a Personal Protection Officer and the past 10 years training others in defensive tactics and firearms.

Brian’s impressive career also includes serving as the Director of Security for a large North Texas non-profit, where he managed all aspects of safety operations and training. Beyond his security expertise, Brian is a 2nd-degree black belt and co-owner of Alamo Defense, a company dedicated to providing comprehensive security and training services.

His commitment to making a difference doesn’t stop there. As a board member of the Cooke County Hope Alliance, Brian supports survivors of human trafficking, and as Vice President of Guided Solutions, he helps veterans and survivors build new futures.

In this episode, Brian shares invaluable insights on personal protection, self-defense, and the mindset needed to stay safe in today’s world. If you’re interested in security, martial arts, or want to learn more about protecting yourself and others, this is an episode you won’t want to miss!
