Episode 424
Sunday, 11 January, 2026

Show featured sponsor: Tip Top K9 Training In this episode, Rich Brown sits down with Walt Settlemyre, host of The Distinguished Savage Podcast, for a wide-ranging conversation on readiness, capability, and what it actually means to live prepared in the modern world. They discuss: Why competence is disappearing as comfort increases The difference between talking about violence and preparing for it responsibly How physical fitness, mindset, and skill intersect in real-world self-defense The danger of outsourcing personal responsibility to systems, gear, or credentials Why training must be continuous, uncomfortable, and intentional What "civilized savage" really means - and why it matters now more than ever The role of community, discipline, and standards in developing capable humans This is not a tactics episode. It's a truth-based conversation about readiness, accountability, and becoming harder to break - physically, mentally, and morally. If you care about: Self-defense Leadership Personal responsibility And building real-world capability This episode will resonate.
