0:00.0	Hey folks, welcome back to another edition of the Paler Solution Podcast, Rob Wolf here.
0:10.0	Today's show is with New York Times best-selling author Tim Larkin.
0:15.0	Tim is a really phenomenal guy.
0:18.0	He has written a book, When Violence is the Answer.
0:22.0	Tim has a fascinating background. He is a defensive tactics and
0:24.8	hand-to-hand combatives expert who's worked with a remarkable number of
0:29.0	people in entities including the US Navy SEAL teams,
0:33.1	SEAL Team 6, US Army Special Forces,
0:36.6	FBI Hostage Rescue Team, Department of Treasury,
0:39.9	Department of Energy, U.S. Marshals,
0:41.9	and it goes on and on and on.
0:45.0	Tim is a lifelong athlete, served in the military, has been interested in

1:47.4	car and a parking lot approaching an ATM, navigating my family around different environments. And so Tim talks about this stuff in the book. And the book is really fascinating and that he breaks things down and talks about things like social aggression versus a social violence and it may seem like kind of a spurious distinction but it's really really important to understand that and I think for many people who have never experienced
2:17.8	some sort of a violent attack and you know thank God that you know the vast majority of us have not and in general the world is a
2:26.4	safer place than what it's been in the past but the these things do happen and I
2:30.2	think it's worthwhile just noodling on some of this stuff.
