Best Of - Fighting Words

Covid caught up with me last week, and while it was a very mild case and I'm fully recovered, I didn't have a chance to record and edit a new episode.

Instead, I'm bringing back the most popular episode of the past year. The guest is Matt Stait, a Welsh national and martial arts expert who used his skills to overcome a difficult childhood and become a successful competitor, bodyguard, teacher and author. Among many other interesting topics, we talk about the crucial role that communication plays in the subtle art of protecting club goers, celebrities and Middle Eastern royalty, when the formula for success comprises one percent physicality and 99 percent quick thinking and negotiating skills.

Matt's books, including 20 easy ways to keep your child safe: Empower your kids with the tools to be confident, safe, and happy, are available on Amazon.com. You can also find and engage with him on TikTok. I hope you enjoy our conversation.

Thank you as always to Jim Cirillo at jimiumgroup.com for our original music and Rachel Greenberger - Happy Graduation! - for our original art.
