Welcome to a new episode of Tactical Ambitions. In this episode, I’m joined by Karlton Stephenson, a seasoned veteran in law enforcement and the military. Karl shares his wisdom on self-defense, home security, and the importance of being prepared for any situation. From his early dreams of being a commando to the invaluable lessons learned in the line of duty, Tactical Karl breaks down the essentials of tactical training and mindset for everyday citizens. Listen to this episode to learn more about the importance of training as you fight, to protect yourself and your loved ones in an unpredictable world.
Highlight:
"You have to have that good energy flowing. It's about dominating the enemy. If anything happens, it's going to go down. I'm going to make sure it's not me."
"De-escalation does not work if you're not capable of escalation. You have to be ready to push that violence against bad people, because they're skilled at doing bad things to good people."
"Be hard to kill and train like you fight. It's not just a saying; it's a lifestyle. It's a way of life and what you have to do."
