Tim Larkin How to Prepare for an Attacker

Tim Larkin is America’s leading Pro-Victim Rights and Personal Safety Advocate. He is a former military intelligence officer and was part of a beta group that redesigned how Special Operations personnel trained for close combat. He is a highly sought-after speaker as well as the media’s “go to guy” on Self Defense and Victim’s rights. In this episode, Ben and Tim deep dive into different layers. They talked about his book- When Violence is the Answer, stories about personal safety, the Vegas shooting, and his journey being a businessman. Even though he is a tough guy, he is humbled by the thought of the little people who were dependent on him especially his kids. Enjoy this episode.

I call it ‘sleeping with your head in the railroad track’.-@TFTTimLarkin I am all about prevention. I also have to make sure that my clients are physically trained. -@TFTTimLarkin You need to install in yourself what it actually will take if you ignore all the basics.
