He is also a Second Amendment Foundation Training Division Hand Gun Instructor/Range Safety Officer. In addition, Nick is an Adjunct Instructor for John Farnam's Defensive Training International as well as a Certified Range Master Instructor. Oh, and I dare not neglect to mention he is my Firearms Instructor. :-)Here is a link to Nick's website... https://www.defensivefirearmsinstructor.org/?fbclid=IwAR2yBvi6E4UXgwBG_a4oNojqVmQirRycbFEYUPC7FiMRlbHQOTDMfLBrRAgWith more than 25 years of coaching experience in the fitness industry improving human mechanics, as well as 20 years as a martial arts practitioner Nick shares with us that his interest in becoming a firearms instructor happened about 15 years ago when one of his personal training clients along with her boyfriend were leaving a bar and were assaulted and robbed at gunpoint.That incident enlightened Nick as to how truly unprepared the average person is when it comes to defending their life and the lives of their loved ones. So he moved rapidly to gather as much educational material as possible to properly address the societal deficiency. The vast majority of his clients are women who are seeking the necessary skillset they need in order to protect what they love. Nick has evolved into the powerhouse he is today through his willingness to and success with assisting others to evolve into the best version of themselves as empowered human beings living in the volatile times of our current everyday society.https://soundcloud.com/bailey-smith-369208333/self-care-and-self-defense-are-empowering?si=3877e0607b7b4258a6753caf7067eea4&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharinghttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/friendstalk/2021/03/10/self-care-and-self-defense-are-empoweringhttp://tobtr.com/11909666

It is important because Charles shares this and I quote... "Being murdered with my brother while in foster care would have been more merciful than what I endured for 5 years after being returned to my biological mother. She was my and my siblings' initial abuser and to this day, at the ripe old age of 80, is still as abusive as she ever was."Expect a compelling show where your emotions will ebb and flow with the tide of Charles' story as he shares it with all of us. https://www.blogtalkradio.com/friendstalk/2021/03/03/life-after-foster-carehttp://tobtr.com/11905620

Dismantling Family Court Corruption!

Show #3  Feb 23,2021Tonight's Guest MaryAnn Petri,As a Pro Se, Maryann has a better record than most attorneys, winning two cases in Superior Court. Her book "Dismantling Family Court Corruption" is also an essential book to demonstrate how easily and effectively Family Law professionals are able to exploit the contention of parents and proves the utter lack of oversight to prevent such abuse. Maryann’s story is fast-paced and provides many moments of humor and hope as she recounts courtroom experiences and what it was like being sent to jail, a real-life debtor’s prison. Sitting in the holding cell, she used the acoustics of the cement walls to ring with beautiful music that even the guards stopped to admire. At only pages, it is an approachable book which can serve as one of the most important resources for raising awareness and starting conversations about Family Law Corruption and the reality of Parental Alienation. Maryann observes, “Although my story is ultimately tragic, as I lost my children to the beastly system, I can find purpose and meaning in what I have gone through. I hope that my book will serve to indict the system which broke (figuratively and financially) and damaged my family so that changes will be made to prevent such false accusations, extortion and persecution in the future. ”Maryann Petri is a first-hand-experience, leading expert on the issue of Family Court corruption. She is at the forefront of the movement to stop this abuse and has a website, blog and podcast which can be found at  www.DismantlingFamilyCourtCorruption.com. https://soundcloud.com/bailey-smith-369208333/show_11901717_2021_02_24_02_45_37?si=4b51d276a4d0465fa8dd500a502888ab https://www.blogtalkradio.com/friendstalk/2021/02/24/dismantling-family-court-corruption http://tobtr.com/11901717
