About this listen

This week’s episode is a special one for me.


I’m sitting down with John Whitman, president of the Krav Maga Alliance, and one of my longtime mentors in martial arts. I first met John when I was 18 or 19, training with the Krav Maga Worldwide crew, and his clarity, focused presence, and approach to teaching and training shaped me in ways I’m still carrying forward today.


We talk about mentorship, mindset, confidence, and what martial arts teach us far beyond techniques. This conversation is about training for life, building real self-trust, and the grounded strength that comes from knowing you can handle yourself.


If you’ve ever been curious about self-defense or the deeper lessons found on the mat, I think you’ll really enjoy this one.
