Episode 205. The Guardian Conference: Forging the Prepared Citizen
In this episode of Forge of Freedom, Alex sits down with Jacob Paulsen — founder of ConcealedCarry.com, creator of Mountain Man Medical, and host of the Guardian Conference.
The conversation explores Jacob’s mission-driven approach to self-defense, the evolution of his companies, and how the Guardian Conference represents a unique “buffet-style” training experience designed to expose attendees to a wide range of instructors, disciplines, and skill levels.
More than just gear or shooting proficiency, this episode dives into the broader philosophy of responsible armed defense — training, mindset, medical preparedness, and community.
