Hey, what's going on guys welcome back to the Mike force podcast. It is of course me my G. What's up guys? So if you're tracking us on the YouTube's

right now you'll notice that I got this dumb headset on a Brooklyn Bose speakers traveling just get back from a whole bunch of traveling.

Has some real good times been super busy and getting back to the grind now and it don't stop GBRS is in town big shut off the DJ and Cole.

So is John striker Meyer as we speak my assistants picking up John striker Meyer from the airport. So got a Mac V saw.

Couple Navy sales in town going to do a whole bunch of content and then I'm off to Texas going to do a TV show with Travis Pastrana JT the crew from Black Rifle.

It's going to be fun man Bucky Lasek day from rally ready it's going to be awesome I am privileged Asian privileged to be part of this whole experience including my journey into rally racing and motorsports.

I'll be racing in the a R. R. A. series American rally association series. We have an determined kind of how I'm going to start that whether it's naturally aspirated or turbo restricted.

But it certainly is not going to be a pro car I'm going to be in something a little bit more mild which is say and that's how it should be right I need to learn the ropes I need to understand.

Co driving and navigation and all these pretty complex things this stuff's not easy but I'm super excited that I have the opportunity and I'm willing to learn.

Which is something that you always see in me is I know when I'm not the expert something you want me to teach self defense I'm the expert that I'm pretty sure I have a lot of experience in a good fundamental base knowledge of how to do that.

But when it comes to racing no clue been no whole much race car schools for sure but definitely not the expert and rally is completely different I mean I've been to a lot of hard surface race car driving courses but rally is different man that it's different on how you navigate the vehicle the land navigation.

The communication between co driver and driver it's fascinating that's why love it and I'm so excited to do it I'm bringing the whole team out there out in Missouri for the a or a hundred acre in the woods so stay tuned for that and I'll be bringing a lot of content you guys I hope to kind of rig some kind of thing up where I could do live feed or at least get that thing uploaded real fast.

So you can track the experience with me when it's my motivation there I don't know I want to have fun I want to get get out and inspire people to do rad stuff live your best life.

You know one of the operational mission sets for my company one of the mission statements specifically for Philcraft proper that's Philcraft survival we do have another mission statement for training.

But the mission statement for Philcraft survival changed it's to inspire educate and equip you to live your best life what you do when you go outdoors if you if you're operating the outdoors is you are building resilience by exposure it's really that simple the more you get out the more you mildly suffer I mean we're not talking about climbing Mount Everest I'm talking about you know going on a hike going camping spinning time outdoors the more resilient you could be.

I mean it's just a fact of life I mean we think about resiances man this is crazy I went out camping I mean you didn't spend 600 plus days on ice cube like shackled in crew from the endurance from the ship the endurance when they got stranded in Antarctica so man it's a good way to build resilience and we're on that train man and anything I could do to inspire you I'm down for if you're watching this on YouTube

last episode we're talking about AR 15s and it's cool because I could pick up an AR and demonstrate to you I also have this on podcast because that's where it lives all over the place Spotify iTunes etc I got a couple things on a cover today before we get to ARs including the situation in Ukraine because it's unfolding as we speak Russia right now is going into Kiev a capital of Ukraine and there's a whole bunch of things going on it's a lot to record.

It's a lot to wrap your head around especially when only getting limeses of it in news that is bias right that mean they're they're painting the picture via the narrative they want already saw a lot of media outlets especially on the left paint the picture that inflation all the price hikes that we're seeing including at the gas pump or cause because of Ukraine.

No that's not that's called bad policy in fact Ukraine has probably been created by bad policy when you have this situation where we are seen as weak across the globe I mean look I don't care how you voted I do care how you're going to vote in the future maybe you thought Biden was the right solution but now when you look at the complexity of foreign policy was somebody who's utterly by all indications

by all evidence and just looking brain dead and I don't mean to say it facetiously because I think there's a serious issue there including potential dementia when you see that how is it going to get better when it seems to only get worse and so when you have foreign policy

debacles like Afghanistan like Hong Kong like Russia and man bound to be Taiwan this is going to be a significant issue on how the world sees us but also how the world takes advantage of America in the future Russia
