The birds, the bees, rifles, pistols, and shotguns.

The single most “life changing” event I have experienced to date was the birth of my son. Any parent will likely echo a similar sentiment. Our children are a chance to better the world, carry on family traditions, and leave a legacy for generations to follow. We protect, nurture, mentor, and guide them to be better versions of ourselves.

Why I Am Anti-Mandatory Training. :: 02/25/2024

by: Klint Macro

Many are surprised at my stance on mandatory training when they learn what I do for a living. I have been getting paid to train students and instructors alike for over a decade and I consult “for profit” training businesses to help them grow their companies by offering more “for profit” training opportunities.

There was NO sound of traffic on LaBrea Ave in Hollywood, CA. The Streets were quiet as ALL business halted. You could hear the sound of birds in the trees, not something commonly heard over the traffic of a busy city. The sky was blue and sunny, just like it was the previous morning before the first plane hit, however the air felt different.

9-11-01 Never Forget :: 09/11/2023

by: Klint Macro

I was in Hollywood, CA on 9-11-01. Chaos was nationwide. Buildings were evacuated on the west coast, stories of "lost planes" that were going to strike the Library Tower in LA.... news coverage of explosions, rumors of planes hitting Pittsburgh or the White House... later images of buildings crumbling, family members stranded as they were traveling.... All of us that were adults on that day remember exactly what we were doing and how we experienced that day.

I now work with many adults who were not old enough to remember that day and some who werent even born yet! Time is relentless. Today, be sure to remember what the world was like on 9-10 and on 9-11, and even more importantly what it was like on 9-12. Educate the younger generation about what those days were like. EVERYONE was an American on 9-12-01, the sense of community was overwhelming.
