This is the Concealed Carry Podcast, episode number 268.

And welcome to the Concealed Carry podcast, part of the Concealed Carry.com network.

I am your host, Riley Bowman.

And today, it's just me, flying solo, bringing to you some more great content in the form of

a pre-recorded interview. We had together with Russell Rian Do, a behavioral psychologist with

New Frontier Search. Now, we had the pleasure of talking with him at the USCA Concealed Carry Expo earlier this year.

And I thought this content would be really valuable to bring to the listeners of the Concealed Carry podcast.

Now, I do plan at some point to get Mr. Rando lined up to be a guest on the podcast where we can go deeper on some of these things.

I don't know exactly when that's going to happen, but this should be a nice little preview to

wet your appetite on some really important issues. And Russ has some really great insights,

I think, into what the makeup is of currently, you know know and I kind of use the phrase in the

interview you're going to hear of sort of a societal stress which we definitely

see in the violence in our society at this time well we see it in the shootings

we see it in the rhetoric there's just so so much going on. And, you know,

I think this is something that we as dedicated gun owners, proponents of the Second Amendment

and concealed carriers should have on our mind. And, you know, it's not just a, you know,

not everything is about the gun and about using the gun in self-defense.

There's far more things that we need to be concerned with that we need to be considerate of,

whether it's about ourselves, our own personal, behavioral health, those of our friends, our family, our neighbors, those we work with,

our coworkers. You're going to hear we talk quite a bit about. There's a lot of really great stuff.

I know there's some of you out there that are business owners and there's some really great

things in this interview for employers and those that hire employees. So I would encourage you to give us a good listen and think deeply about these issues
