A real-time record of the journey my friends and I are on as we pursue God, raise families, run businesses, train and equip real-life protectors, and hold each other accountable every day. Come with us as we figure this thing out together. Let's move.

The guys invite the longest surviving assistant instructor Jed's ever had, Ron "Tron" Williams, to take a stroll through the long history of mistakes they've made and successes they've shared as they've taught over a decade of shooting classes together. This is as much a cautionary tale as it is a birthday celebration and it's chock full of safety violations and improper use of equipment and fake blood as the guys share some less...

The guys return to the studio after a break and Jed questions everything they're doing - with the podcast AND with their lives. Jason, Kyle, and Squamch try to keep Jed's ping-pong brain corralled as the topics range from how to start the podcast off to pickle jars of water in the fridge, lots of table talk, and Squamch prays on record. Are we still doing the right thing here? Yes. Yes we are. ==============================...

**Listener Discretion Advised**: In this episode, the OMP team talks with their esteemed guest about very hard things, such as children being killed and the possibility of a protector, such as a School Protection Officer, being forced to kill a young person in the event there’s no other way to stop them from committing mass murder. We don’t dress up our conversations with nicer words to make these kinds of topics more “courtroom-fr...

The OMP crew wants to wish all of you a Happy Thanksgiving!


So here you go:


Squamch is tired of your excuses. Oh, maybe you don’t feel like you’re making excuses for the things you aren’t doing, but if you’re busy using classic lines like:


“If I had his money, I would…”


or


“If I had more time, I’d…”


…then be careful around Squamch because Squamch don’t play that.


In a world constantly reminding you of all the things you don’...

Let’s ask ourselves a real question: “Are you an asset to your team or is the team carrying you?”

That’s the central question to this episode, and the guys dig into the On Me Podcast (OMP) team to air out some truths about their private lives and their roles on the team.

And since they’re talking about teams, Jed shares a few details about spending the weekend with a murky group OMP is associated with who travel from near and far t...

What good is a podcast if you can’t invite your mom to hang out?


This week, the guys invite one of the most formative figures in Jed’s life, and probably the reason he loves stories. Telling them, reading them, hearing them, and ultimately LIVING them.


Linda Lee Carroll joins the gang to tell some stories about her life before Jed, how she thinks, writes, and prays.


And for the first time ever, the entire crew, with ...

Unlikely as it might have been before 2012, no matter where you’re from in America, you’ve probably heard of Benghazi, Libya.


There’s an equally good chance that you’ve also heard of GRS operator and former Army Ranger, Kris “Tanto” Paronto. Kris was in Benghazi throughout the entire ordeal. He fought bravely and fiercely, saved many American lives, killed many of America’s enemies, and he needed to poop throughout much of it.

Does the Independence Day story of America present a template for individual freedom?


The guys think so.


This week, the boys talk a little bit about a recent Executive Protection course, and Jed gets way off in the weeds about the Independence Day holiday and also his weird ideas about the “human garden”.


Jason wants to hear some Independence Day memories from Squamch, Kyle, and Jed. Then, he reveals the secret cerem...

The boys DONE _SENT_ IT again with another trip to the wizards at Battleline Tactical and their friends at Fort Scott Munitions as they hosted a 2-Day Edged Weapons Course with Christopher Doner of Martial Blade Concepts, Omaha. He’s seriously a ninja dude and Jed was way too excited about that.




Not only did Jed get the Course Leader certificate for his stellar performance at class, but he, Kyle, and Squamch also rev...

If the poison you’ve been drinking is sweet, you should probably expect the antidote to be a little bitter.


This week, Jed opens up and explains that even though he understands HOW he learns--by physical processes such as neuroplasticity and mental processes, like focused learning techniques--he still finds it infuriating that he can’t get his mind tuned into the channels he’s looking for. Why?



The guys discuss a Hub...

There aren’t too many people on earth who can give Squamch and Jed BOTH a real run for their money, but this week, the guys get an opportunity to take a deep dive into the twisted mind of one man who has: Jeremy Mitchell, of Battleline Tactical, is a no-kidding Neuro-linguistic Communications Expert and has some CRAZY knowledge to drop on you.




In addition to designing Extreme Stress-inducing training courses for Batt...

There are a lot of variables in shooting, but the ability of the shooter to manage his own instincts and emotions during all phases of the process must be as steady as Squamch on a tree branch with a loaded rifle and a RockoChocko ice cream bar. 



So the guys get pretty deep into this one. So deep in fact that this episode may become required listening for students new to the range.


This time, Jason, Jed, Squamch and ...

This week, Jed asks for help again as he reaches out to Squamch, Kyle and Jason for wisdom from the range.


The guys explore topics from why discomfort matters for your learning processes, to getting to know how you'll realistically perform in an actual fight.

This week could be the end of the podcast, because:It turns out Squamch could be a closeted liberal who is ready to come out.

Then, Jed takes the guys through a guided, gaslighted, tour of grief, human manipulation, great and small things in life, and then appeals to Kyle, Jason, and Squamch for advice to get him through his real-life frustrations.

Is Squamch going to vote for Biden? Is Jed gaslighting himself? Can he be reasoned w...

The guys are at it again, and this time Jed shares a trick with them to keep them from getting bored with their wives' stories. 

And then he wants to know, theoretically, why they would each want to be rich? What would they do with their wealth? What's the REAL why behind what we want?

And Training Season is back in full effect for the guys and, with that, they reflect on the training paths that led them here.
