What up, guys. So today on the podcast, we're here with director Andy Wilson, who is the director of public safety.

He works with a lot of the law enforcement and first responders in the state of Ohio.

And we're going to be running an event with him and some other people in Ohio called the Battle of Boots and Badges.

We'll talk more about that later.

But it's a really cool event for police officers, first responders,

active military, military veterans. And it's a big jih Tjitsu competition, right? It's a big jih Tzu competition. I'll be there. It's going to be a blast. And, you know, he's been one of the guys to help spearhead this thing, to help put it together. and, you know, as we'll talk on the podcast here in a bit, you know, he's very focused and very passionate about police officers and first responders having access to adequate

training and some of that obviously being physical fitness and some of that being, you know,

actual hands-on training like grappling. And so we'll talk about that in a bit.

But it's a fun conversation and we get into it and he'll kind of share some of his ideas and what he's seen.

And as from the sort of attorney side of things as a prosecutor side, but also being in there

with the police officers and the first responders on the mats with them training and all that

stuff and helping them and assist with this stuff. So anyway, it's a fun podcast. Hopefully you guys
