Any good tactician needs to understand the goals of each side and the tactics the other side will use to achieve their goal. They know our goal and they are familiar with the "come and take it" mentality… but that moto is unreliable as a "tactic." We must understand their strategy and willingness to play the long game. We must fight intellectually, legally, and in ways the other side will not expect.

In this episode of the Talking Lead Podcast we stick our toes in the theoretical waters of Agorism, natural law, human law and Liberty. Cohosting with Lefty this week is Brian with Occam Defense Solutions and we bring back "J" with The League Of Pirates to add his flavor to the topic. Everyone has their own idea of how a society should exist. In ancient Greek cities, an agora was an open space serving as an assembly area and a place for commercial, civic, social, and religious activities. The goal of agorism is the agora. The society of the open marketplace as near to untainted by theft, assault, and fraud as can be humanly attained is as close to a free society as can be achieved. And a free society is the only one in which each and every one of us can satisfy his or her subjective values without crushing others' values by violence and coercion.— Samuel Edward Konkin III

On Talking Lead this week: Our guests include Michael Sodini former President of Eagle Imports and Founder of Walk The Talk America (WTTA) and Sergeant Major Lance Nutt USMC (Retired) and Founder of Sheep Dog Impact Assistance (SDIA). With COVID 19 still prevalent and the uncertainty on when a vaccine will be available paired with the social divide caused by the protesting , rioting and looting across the Nation, our mental health is being stressed to the max. These two non-profit organizations exist to help both our citizens and our Nations protectors understand and manage good mental health stability and get people the help they need. Walk The Talk America: (WTTA) Our goal is to raise awareness and create a change in the misunderstandings in regard to mental illness and firearms by bringing together industry leaders to reduce gun violence, negligence, suicide and the trauma created by these events. Develop programs for suicide prevention, firearms negligence, trauma mitigation, and child safety. Sheep Dog Impact Assistance: (SDIA) exists to engage, assist and empower our nation's "Sheep Dogs" (Veterans, Law Enforcement, Fire & Rescue, and EMS personnel) to #GetOffTheCouch and reengage in living an active, meaningful and productive life with a renewed sense of purpose. The US Department of Veterans Affairs states that more than 6,000 veterans die by suicide each year, and other statistics show that twice as many First Responders die by suicide than in the line of duty. Post-traumatic stress, injuries, depression, addiction, and isolation plague our Sheep Dogs to the point of thinking about and/or attempting suicide. By gathering together Sheep Dogs who have suffered similar traumas and experiences for an opportunity to continue serving, we strive to prevent suicides in our Veteran and First Responder communities.

We continue Talking Lead's 2020 SHOT Show interviews with Part-3. To begin this episode Lefty has Jack B. Mills, Air Force CMSGT (ret), owner of Virtual Tactical Training Resources (VT2R) as his special guest. Firearms simulators are a great training tool and the AdTac 9 System enhances simulation training with high fidelity recoil management, reduction in smoke and noise and imitates live fire without the inherent risk. VT2R Integrates with any firearms simulator. Next up we have professional knife thrower & instructor Jason Johnson. Jason talks about how he got into knife throwing and the defensive aspects of this skill. Twisted X is the official footwear of Talking Lead for 2020 SHOT Show, joining Lefty to tell you about this durable, stupid-comfortable line of footwear is Brandon Forquer. Wrapping up this episode is the gang from Kel-Tec to tell us about the new Sub-CQB and the RDB Defender. The Sub-CQB, based off the Sub 2000, is an integrally suppressed 9mm carbine with a 4 1/4 in barrel that can be folded with an optic to fit in a back pack.

Welcome to 2020 Lead Heads! Kicking off Talking Lead's first episode of the year Lefty invites the Captain of The League Of Pirates to join the show for an exercise in critical thinking and the importance of being prepared. Being a slave in almost any sense sucks. Being free can be terrifying, but it's generally far more meaningful than submitting to the external and internal powers that be. LOP's goal is to help you in your quest for liberty. No one will ever be completely free, but that shouldn't stop you from trying. Any Fate But Submission is their ethos. Listen in as Jay and Brian guide you through the murky waters of understanding the Non-Aggressive Principal (NAP), the neurobiology behind Critical Thinking, Cognitive Dissonance & Self Sufficiency. Listen even closer to find out if you were one of the four lucky Lead Heads that won a tactical wallet from Mission First Tactical.
