Hey, this is Buck Sexton and you're listening to the Tutor Dixon podcast, part of the Clay Traverse and Buck Sexton Podcast Network.

Hello everyone, I'm Tutor Dixon and I am so excited to have you join the Tutor Dixon podcast.

Let me start by telling you a little bit about me.

I started off my career in manufacturing for many years before becoming a mom and when my four little girls were little,

a friend asked me to step into a totally different world, the media world.

I had a little experience in media from college and just out of college, but this was a mostly totally new adventure for me.

We created a news program for middle and high school students designed to focus on news of the day and pro-America stories.

And the funny thing is those pro-America stories led me down a whole new path into politics.

As some of you may know, I was the Republican nominee for governor in the state of Michigan last year.

I stepped away from my career completely and I campaigned for about 18 months.

It was a totally incredible journey and not only did I learn about all the different cultures across my beautiful state,

but I met the most amazing people.

As I traveled along on this journey, I really felt that I needed to share some of those stories with other people and that's what inspired me to do this podcast.

And one of the people that I met along the way was named Rick Ector.

And it was probably one of the most nerve-wracking moments of my campaign for me because Rick offers free gun training for women and I'm going to confess I had never shot a gun before that day.

But turns out I was exactly who Rick was looking for because he wants women to feel confident that they can protect themselves.

And that day I lined up with hundreds of women in the Detroit area to learn more about how to use a gun safely.

The reason I want you to meet Rick is because his story really touched me.

It's raw, it's true life, it's kind of superhero in the making type of stuff.

And Rick is an awesome guy. He's not arrogant. He's not forcing other people to be on his side, but his life changed in a moment and he used that experience to help others learn to defend themselves.

Whatever you think about guns, I think you're going to find Rick's story very interesting.

Rick Ector is the owner of Rick's Firearm Academy of Detroit and I'm pleased to have him here with me today.
