What's up, guys? Welcome back to the Endless Endeavor podcast. This is episode 301, and I want to apologize right out of the gate. I had a technical air that was my fault, and today's episode did not get video recorded. So if you're watching on YouTube, our few subscribers that like to consume the show on YouTube, I apologize. But for all the normal people that consume their podcasts on Spotify and Apple, no harm, no foul. All right, guys, well, like usual, we have a couple of ads to knock out, and then we'll go into the show momentarily. This week, once again, we're brought to you by my book, Courage through Adversity, available on Amazon Now. If you guys are listening to the show, there's a good chance you know what I'm about. I'm about growth, development, health, fitness, capability, building your tribe, being a competent, strong, powerful man. And like I always say, guys, I'm not the guru. I don't have all the answers, but I'm a guy that has amassed a decent amount of life experience, and I think I have some value to share with the world. And that is what you will find inside of my book. It is a two-part book. Part one is my story, outlining who I am, where I came from, the hardships I faced. And then part two is our story. And our story as a society is how we move forward and seek excellence as a people.

And as most of you know, that is the only way out of this mess that we are currently experiencing

if each and every one of us individually choose to become a better person and then our society

will reflect that as a whole.

Courage through adversity on Amazon now or the direct link in the show notes below.

All right.

In episode 301, I sit down with John Karugi, best known for disarming a suspect armed with a stolen,

police-issued AR-15 in downtown Seattle during the George Floyd riots, an incident captured on video by a local reporter.

John is a former Marine and an exceptionally skilled firearms instructor,

specializing in rifle, pistol, and long-range shooting.

We dive into his stories from his background, mental health, hunting, and more.

This conversation has been years in the making, and I'm finally glad we made it happen.

Please enjoy episode 301 of the Endless Endeavor Podcast.

Thank you. 301 of the Endless Endeavor podcast. The Boom. We're just fucking, we'll hit it blind.

That's how I like to do the show.

That's what she said.

This is a, this is going to be a fun show because we've been kicking this idea around.

I mean, fuck what.

Both of our stories went viral and it was 2020.

And I know we connected after that. And then I know there was a time or two that we tried to get together and just life happens. Oh yeah, it's all my fault. Yeah, I was just saying, what the fuck, bro. No, it's all me. The first year, my brothers came up to visit when I was up here teaching classes and I was like, yeah I'm hanging out with them And then the second year was just way too busy bouncing back and forth

I just taught like four or five classes back to back so

So you prioritized your family over some random dude on Instagram? What a dick
