I don't want to set the world on fire. Hello, there, everyone. Welcome to the show. Kind of an early one this week. Of course, my shows have been all over the map lately anyway,

so totally different audience. Luke is in the chat this morning and a few other people are

watching. But today, and those of you listening to the podcast, you really don't care what time

it comes on. But today, Mama Bear's here. Mama Bear Prepper. Good morning.

Today, what we're going to do is we're talking with Mark Dixon, who is an author just recently published a book, Enemy at the Helm.

And he sent me a copy of this before it actually came out.

Read the book.

Really cool.

Wanted to talk about that a little bit.

Mark has been a listener of the podcast for a long time now.

It is into preparedness.

I was reading your into regenerative gardening.

You're a surgeon.

You got a lot of self-defense stuff going on.

I mean, just a, instead of me sort of explaining everything,

I'll let you go ahead and tell everybody what exactly

what you're doing right now, all your accolades, whatever you want to say, pimp yourself out.

Well, thank you, Dale. As you mentioned, I am a surgeon. I've been practicing for about 30 years now.

And if you count training, it's more than that.

So I'm just about retired.

I might have worked my last shift last week.

So that's a pretty good feeling.
