Well, ready and welcome back to the active self-protection podcast.

I am yet again your host, Mike Ruliver, and I remain your favorite.

Former Fed with us today.

A new friend of mine, his name is Wes.

Wes is in the Indianapolis, Indiana area, somewhere I visited for the first time. Well, I've been through it before, but visited it for the NRA meeting last year, lovely town. I went to a fantastic steakhouse, but I'll tell you about that later. He is married with a child on the way. So everyone congratulate Wes on that. That's big news. And he is trying to, because of having the new baby, he would like to get out of the nine to five rat race and follow his passion, the thing he loves, which is video production.

Is that, is that accurate?

Did I say that correctly, Wes?

That is correct.

Yeah.

Mostly video editing, do the fact that I'd be limited to my ability to go film on location.

I could do all the video editing remotely. All right. Well, I mean, our podcast editing isn't great because I do it and I'm bad and I'm bad at it. So maybe maybe you can give you some pointers. We'll see how that works out. So listen, if you are you could potentially work remotely, right? You don't have to be in the same city with someone who wants your services, right? Oh, yeah, correct. Yeah, as long as I have a way of transferring the files to and from the person, either Dropbox or Google Drive, really, you can work anywhere with a internet connection. Right on. So, folks, if you're listening, if you have a need for that sort of thing, Let me know, Mike at active self-protection.com. And I've done it before. I'll do it again. I'll hook you up with Wes and maybe you guys can get some work done and get him some business. That would be great. So he didn't have to be gone away from his new baby all day long. So, Wes, tell us about yourself. Are you someone who historically has, I know your story happened a long time ago and it happened when you were still young.

But have you been at least since then, sort of mindful of your own self-defense and aware of

your surroundings, that sort of thing?

Oh, yes, for sure.

So even before the incident, I was in the process of becoming a black belt in Taekwondo.

And so leading up to that point in time, I had been in this self-protection.

It probably was the karate kid at the time, kind of working its way through the movie scene.

But kind of always had a sense of self-awareness, kind of building up to that.

No firearm training before that, but post, I have went and done some AR-style classes, pistol

classes, and of course, watching the active self-protection YouTube channel, podcast, and

app.

Nice.
