Can you protect yourself and your family? I mean if shit gets serious, are you really ready?  What if someone tries to seriously harm you or your loved ones?  As much as we may dream about a nonviolent utopia, the reality is it’s better to be safe than sorry. And to be safe you have to be prepared.  Violent, dangerous people are out there and wishing them away will never work. If you never want to become someone’s victim you can’t afford to miss the all new #RenegadeRadioPodcast with self-protection expert Tim Larkin.    As a former military intelligence officer Tim was part of the group that redesigned how Special Operations personnel train for close combat.  Over the course of his 25 year career he has shown people in 52 countries how to deal with imminent violence.  He’s trained over 10,000 clients in his Target Focused Training, including Elite Military Units and Special Law Enforcement Agencies.  Tim is also the author of great self-protection books including “How to Survive”, “Survive the Unthinkable” and, most recently, “When Violence is The Answer”.   Show notes for this and every episode can be found at www.JasonFerruggia.com   This episode is brought to you by Four Sigmatic, which I use every single day.  What is Four Sigmatic? It's mushroom coffee made with the active ingredient, Lion’s mane mushroom (also known as the “smart mushroom”). Lion’s Mane has long been used by Buddhist monks for better focus during meditation for years. I know you're going to say you don't want to drink coffee that tastes like mushrooms, but it doesn't. Four Sigmatic:   Is gut friendly and great for those who get an upset stomach from regular coffee. Gets you cranked up for your day, but not jittery and anxiety ridden because it contains less than half the caffeine of regular coffee. Comes in handy packets that you just mix with hot or cold water. Takes just a second to prepare. Go to  http://www.foursigmatic.com/jay and use the code JAY to get 15% discount.
