It's a thing all the time. Look at human trafficking. It's probably at an all-time high right now. And you could think, oh, well, that's never going to happen to me. I'm never going to need that. Well, until you do need it, and then it's a huge mistake from not learning how to do these things. You're not always going to be. You sometimes are outnumbered.
The Money Mondays
Why Investing in Self Defense Is the Best Decision You'll Ever Make w/ Steve Eckert ⚔️ EP104
You can't always be in control of every situation. As much as we try and as much as awareness you have, You think you don't need something until you need it.

Exactly. And you need to have these skills. But you already touched on also what it does. Even let's say you never need it. Hopefully. Luckily, you never need it. You never want to need it. You just said it yourself that the way you handled that was staying calm under that pressure.

putting tying these people up and putting them in a trunk it sounds like well that is so stupid what are they ever going to get out of that this is like just craziness why would someone pay for that that way that ability of them to control their emotions and not freak the fuck out under that pressure and figure a way out of that situation is making them such a better problem solver so much more emotional intelligence when they are freaking out their employees are freaking out or they're they're someone is stealing from the company they're not going to free it's giving them that internal muscle that that that

to emotional discipline so that they can bounce back when things don't go their way and they can hold the ground and not crumble under the pressure.
The Money Mondays
Why Investing in Self Defense Is the Best Decision You'll Ever Make w/ Steve Eckert ⚔️ EP104
And riches to me is a whole different story. And that's the way you live your life, the lifestyle you have, the way you lead your family and do things like Operation Blacksite. It's needed. It's needed in the family structure because that's my job as a man is to be the fathering of my children and the leader of my household and learning the skills at Operation Blacksite is the foundation.

Why Investing in Self Defense Is the Best Decision You'll Ever Make w/ Steve Eckert ⚔️ EP104
And you could say, well, maybe they're going to get shot in a terrorism. But it's not just that. It could be a bicycle accident. Your kid could fall on a bike and something pierces through their arm. Like I've seen some crazy things just with kids, the crazy shit kids do. Yeah, baseball bat. Exactly. So that's – and again, this all ties into that same –
The Money Mondays
Why Investing in Self Defense Is the Best Decision You'll Ever Make w/ Steve Eckert ⚔️ EP104
not crumbling under the pressure, having that emotional discipline, emotional regulation. But if you're going to carry a gun and you're going to be making holes in people, you also need to know how to plug those holes in people because I might get shot. My kid might get shot. Or maybe I'm defending my family and I get shot. Do my kids... Are they familiar with firearms and safety rules?
The Money Mondays
Why Investing in Self Defense Is the Best Decision You'll Ever Make w/ Steve Eckert ⚔️ EP104
But also they know how to plug me up. What if I'm incapacitated? I'm down. My 10-year-old daughter, she did it here with the group today. She knows how to plug the holes. Apply the tourniquet in under 30 seconds and make sure you're set. So I carry a gun everywhere I go. But I also, with that gun, and I have it here with me. I'm strapped here with us.
The Money Mondays
Why Investing in Self Defense Is the Best Decision You'll Ever Make w/ Steve Eckert ⚔️ EP104
I don't know who knows who's rolling up on the money Mondays. But I also carry a tourniquet everywhere I go. And so does my entire family. We all carry a tourniquet and a gun on us at all times.
The Money Mondays
Why Investing in Self Defense Is the Best Decision You'll Ever Make w/ Steve Eckert ⚔️ EP104
in addition to a knife, a flashlight, so we're always prepared and ready. And then there's always a tourniquet in the doors of all of our cars, in our RV, there's tourniquets all stashed around the house, you never know when exactly you're gonna need it.
The Money Mondays
Why Investing in Self Defense Is the Best Decision You'll Ever Make w/ Steve Eckert ⚔️ EP104
Well, this goes back to when you have those kids, it's a whole different game. You said you'll not only kill for them, you will freaking, now you die for them, you will kill for them. And that's why you need to build a community and learn from people like we learned from BlackSide, but then also build your community in your own neighborhood. Get to know your neighbors. Build your own

mini little army where you're looking out for each other and it starts right in your own home your whole entire family should know the plan like my family knows something happens where which part of the house is they're going to where do they need to retreat to who's doing what whose role is what if we needed to get out of the house it's on fire they know who is grabbing what who's taking care of what so it comes down to being prepared all the things we do operation black site 100 prepare you for every scenario that could happen there

Why Investing in Self Defense Is the Best Decision You'll Ever Make w/ Steve Eckert ⚔️ EP104
You defend yourself with the weapons. That doesn't work. We need to know hand to hand. That doesn't work. Maybe I'm getting taken. How the hell am I getting out of here now? Because we're outnumbered because the police aren't even here to save me. No one is coming to save you. You are your own first responder. So no one's coming to freaking save you. Especially, it's my family.
The Money Mondays
Why Investing in Self Defense Is the Best Decision You'll Ever Make w/ Steve Eckert ⚔️ EP104
I'm not waiting for someone to come and save me. There was one of the floods or something happened. I don't remember what it was. There's this picture of this dude walking through a flood or something, holding his little daughter's hand, not even carrying her. And he's out of shape and he's got this big beer belly.

Like this is this is by far of all the so many different programs I do, even the father son program we do. This is by far the most impactful. Seeing the changes that we're making.

Why Investing in Self Defense Is the Best Decision You'll Ever Make w/ Steve Eckert ⚔️ EP104
And there's like, I don't know if it's a cop or a firefighter or a neighbor, carrying the man's wife out of this disaster zone. Like, holy fuck. Like... That is your job. That is your number one job. There's no greater job or job that you have more responsibility in being a husband and a father. So it is your duty to protect that family, your family and your home. That should be your safe place.
The Money Mondays
Why Investing in Self Defense Is the Best Decision You'll Ever Make w/ Steve Eckert ⚔️ EP104
It's horrible what these people are doing. That's why you need to get your whole family on board. Someone breaks into my house, They might think they might, oh, they'll think the father might be the one to defend it. They're going to have a whole fucking four of us in all different positions knowing exactly what they need to do. So they're going to have a force.

You need to create your own little mini army starting in your own house.

I can't imagine if when I was in junior high school and high school, if it was like it is now with the social media and all this craziness and people don't know what freaking bathroom to use anymore. And there's like 17 different genders and all this other stuff. I can't imagine the pressure that we'd be on. I had no friends in high school as it is.

It was really hard enough way back in the 80s and 90s. Imagine now. Those kids have so much bullshit to deal with. They need a wake-up call. They need a little more guidance. They need to know what is required of a man. How do you operate and act as a man in the world today? Because as I said, the men are going soft.
The Money Mondays
Why Investing in Self Defense Is the Best Decision You'll Ever Make w/ Steve Eckert ⚔️ EP104
In three freaking days, what we've done for these men and women that came here, from when they walked in to when they left, I told them our goal was to make them 10% better in their discipline, in their energy, in their confidence, in the way they attack the challenges in life, and also that's going to allow them to... kicked their own ass from when they came here.
The Money Mondays
Why Investing in Self Defense Is the Best Decision You'll Ever Make w/ Steve Eckert ⚔️ EP104
We need to start shifting the tides so we have more protectors out there in LA when things like that happen. Imagine if there were a lot of fierce men out there that came to things like Operation Blacksite, all sprinkled around the country and all around L.A. Now you're going to have a force of people who don't even know you because you're going to go and do the right thing.
The Money Mondays
Why Investing in Self Defense Is the Best Decision You'll Ever Make w/ Steve Eckert ⚔️ EP104
You're going to go protect those that can't protect themselves. And that's the thing we're teaching these kids at a young age because they're – shit, if we don't start getting our hands on the youth, we are – this country is fucked.

We're administering this program. It's about them bonding together. That's the number one voice they need to listen to. Not me just bringing, I'm bringing their chaos there so that they can block out that outside noise and learn to not be influenced by all these outside forces. Learn to trust
The Money Mondays
Why Investing in Self Defense Is the Best Decision You'll Ever Make w/ Steve Eckert ⚔️ EP104

I guarantee anything you want to learn, at least learn a baseline of, YouTube is the greatest resource in the world. It's freaking awesome when it's used for the right reasons. But start doing hard shit with their family. Start going on hard hikes that are 10, 15, 20 miles up in the mountains. Start learning about survival. Start having fun. doing fun stuff together that's absolutely free.
The Money Mondays
Why Investing in Self Defense Is the Best Decision You'll Ever Make w/ Steve Eckert ⚔️ EP104
It's free to go hike in the mountain. It's free to train every day. I could get someone lose 100 pounds in an empty elevator with zero equipment and zero space. You always have a way, but connecting as a family, doing hard stuff together, training together, practicing stuff together, and then thinking about survival stuff. We have a thing we call our house survival night.
The Money Mondays
Why Investing in Self Defense Is the Best Decision You'll Ever Make w/ Steve Eckert ⚔️ EP104
I put on a purge alarm in our house. We have 15 minutes to get out of the house. Really? And everyone, we only, whatever you can carry in 15 minutes and get out. And we have, we have to set up a tent in the backyard and we stay out there for overnight. And usually in a real, a cold time of year, we do it. And we see how fast can we get out there. And they've gotten so good.
The Money Mondays
Why Investing in Self Defense Is the Best Decision You'll Ever Make w/ Steve Eckert ⚔️ EP104
I have to put it down to like five minutes because 15 minutes we're out there. They have fucking generators and their PlayStation five and all their shit. So I'm like, this is, We might as well just stay inside. We're not camping anymore because they learned to get all their shit out there that we need. But do something like that. It's fun. We have a lot of fun with it.
The Money Mondays
Why Investing in Self Defense Is the Best Decision You'll Ever Make w/ Steve Eckert ⚔️ EP104
I think that actually goes back to BlackSight. All these things, yeah, they're effective, but at the same time, it's freaking fun as hell. We're having fun with every single evolution here at Operation BlackSight. I think that's something else that... Most people, especially men, forgot how to do. We forgot how to freaking live, how to have fun, how to enjoy ourselves.
The Money Mondays
Why Investing in Self Defense Is the Best Decision You'll Ever Make w/ Steve Eckert ⚔️ EP104
Like the shit that lights us up as a young boy, we get older and we forget how to have fun and we just get so caught up in the rat race and we just become so rigid and your kids are looking at you and they're like, they don't want to be anything like that, man. Like go out and have some freaking fun with your family. Do fun shit like this. It's totally free.
The Money Mondays
Why Investing in Self Defense Is the Best Decision You'll Ever Make w/ Steve Eckert ⚔️ EP104
Can they kick their own ass from when they showed up, both mentally, physically, emotionally? Can they outsmart and outguile that person that showed up here three days ago? And absolutely, I can look every one of them in the eyes and say they absolutely can.

This is the time to do it. I know when you talk about money on the Money Mondays, you talk about people having 12 months of expenses in an account. We do something even next level in our house. Literally, we cannot leave our house if we want to for over a year and not have the step foot of our house. We have 12 months of...

And we've been doing this for a while. People make fun of that kind of thing. I'm not like some crazy doomsday prepper, but we just always want to be prepared. When everyone was around with the Coronas and they couldn't wipe their ass because they couldn't get a toilet paper. I had a year's worth of toilet paper in my house. We were good. We were clear.

It's not hard to find me. I don't even need to put a social out there. You can find me on Instagram, YouTube, tons of our Operation Blacksite stuff. I post tons of it on YouTube. It goes viral every time because it's so effective showing me and my kids training together, hostage situations, and YouTube, Instagram. Look for the ugly, bald, white guy that curses a lot. They can find me.
The Money Mondays
Why Investing in Self Defense Is the Best Decision You'll Ever Make w/ Steve Eckert ⚔️ EP104
It's not hard. I'm sure it'll be down in the show notes down there.
The Money Mondays
Why Investing in Self Defense Is the Best Decision You'll Ever Make w/ Steve Eckert ⚔️ EP104
That question is going a lot of different directions. I think part of the main thing is that men have gone...
The Money Mondays
Why Investing in Self Defense Is the Best Decision You'll Ever Make w/ Steve Eckert ⚔️ EP104
so soft really in this country i think they're not leading the way they should they're they're become too comfortable and they are not holding themselves accountable they're not leading as the husbands and fathers should and so the women have to step up they're forced to step up to be the man of the household whether they're a single mom, or even if they might even be married.
The Money Mondays
Why Investing in Self Defense Is the Best Decision You'll Ever Make w/ Steve Eckert ⚔️ EP104
Some of these women are married, and they're like, you know what? Someone needs to step up and learn these kind of things because maybe their husband's just getting complacent. They just need to step up, and it's a crazy world out there. Especially think about a single mother that doesn't have a man in the household to at least co-dominate with. That's a scary-ass thing.
The Money Mondays
Why Investing in Self Defense Is the Best Decision You'll Ever Make w/ Steve Eckert ⚔️ EP104
I'm a fairly capable man, and even when I go outside to get something at my car in the middle of the night if I forgot something at nighttime, I'm going out there and my head is on a swivel. I am nervous and aware. Imagine a woman by herself with her two kids in the house. There's no one to go out there and get it. She's the one. She has to be the superhero.
The Money Mondays
Why Investing in Self Defense Is the Best Decision You'll Ever Make w/ Steve Eckert ⚔️ EP104
Well, here's the thing. There's it's besides you could just say, well, that's their their right as an American with absolutely. I think all Americans should own guns and should carry guns. And because you know what? The bad guys certainly are. And they're out there right now.
The Money Mondays
Why Investing in Self Defense Is the Best Decision You'll Ever Make w/ Steve Eckert ⚔️ EP104
Every one of us, you, me, every single one that showed up to Operation Blacksite, there is someone out there that is literally crazy.

training and practicing to take that person down whether it's to they're stalking them or they're gonna break into their home or even in business someone is out there training to take you down you have enemies out there like literally and figurative enemies both personally and professionally you need to be able to protect yourself you need to know how to defend yourself you create this empire what's the point of having this empire if you don't have the the discipline and the infrastructure to to defend it when did you start how did you dedicate your life to this have you always been doing this
The Money Mondays
Why Investing in Self Defense Is the Best Decision You'll Ever Make w/ Steve Eckert ⚔️ EP104
It probably did for as far as I can remember. I was in the Marine Corps, but even before that, just thinking about self-defense and weapons and guns and knives. I've carried a knife even before guns as far as I can remember. As far as I can remember walking, I was always carrying a little pocket knife and a little Swiss Army knife at all times.
The Money Mondays
Why Investing in Self Defense Is the Best Decision You'll Ever Make w/ Steve Eckert ⚔️ EP104
and now what it really clicked is as you can now recently know once you bring another human into this world like oh the game just changed it has changed it's now no longer about me i have something a higher calling now at this point like as men we are dependent for our significance we're dependent on something higher than ourselves it's it's impossible for me as a man or any man i think to
The Money Mondays
Why Investing in Self Defense Is the Best Decision You'll Ever Make w/ Steve Eckert ⚔️ EP104
really have that significance unless it's something outside of themselves. And the ultimate significance they could have is bringing a kid into this world. And you now need to be the one that is not just a provider. Problem is men think that being a provider is enough. That is the price of admission. That's just to get in the front freaking door. You've got to be a protector and a father.
The Money Mondays
Why Investing in Self Defense Is the Best Decision You'll Ever Make w/ Steve Eckert ⚔️ EP104
Hell yeah.
The Money Mondays
Why Investing in Self Defense Is the Best Decision You'll Ever Make w/ Steve Eckert ⚔️ EP104

The Money Mondays
Why Investing in Self Defense Is the Best Decision You'll Ever Make w/ Steve Eckert ⚔️ EP104
not trained and I could all have worse things I'm addicted to. I could be watching porn all day. I could be snorting cocaine. I could be a drunk. I don't drink any alcohol. I've never done a single drug in my life. Never even smoked a drop of weed. Imagine if I snorted cocaine, what it would look like around this place. Like it would be, this place would be a mayhem. It'd be crazy.
The Money Mondays
Why Investing in Self Defense Is the Best Decision You'll Ever Make w/ Steve Eckert ⚔️ EP104
So that's what our day revolves around, our training together. And then our education, our style of education, like things like Operation Blacksite, it's freedom. We call it our ideal freak freedom lifestyle. And our day, literally our schedule, is revolved around our training together. To me, that's the new flex. That's what I say, I'm the wealthiest person that's ever been on this podcast.
The Money Mondays
Why Investing in Self Defense Is the Best Decision You'll Ever Make w/ Steve Eckert ⚔️ EP104
I train with my entire family, my wife, my son, and my daughter, seven days per week. We have dinner together seven days per week. That's awesome. And I'm home. I'm educating them according to the way that we want to we want to show them how to live, how to think for themselves, not what the school system or whatever else. And that's a whole nother topic tries to push down their neck.
The Money Mondays
Why Investing in Self Defense Is the Best Decision You'll Ever Make w/ Steve Eckert ⚔️ EP104
So we're together all the time.

People think that since they can go buy a gun, that they buy the gun and they think, oh, now I'm safe. I just actually had to go renew my CCW two weeks ago. And we're at the course, and you have to take all the guns that are on your license. And you have to re-qualify with them every two years to show you can shoot at 5, 10, and 15 yards. There was this dude there.
The Money Mondays
Why Investing in Self Defense Is the Best Decision You'll Ever Make w/ Steve Eckert ⚔️ EP104
He shot it, and his gun literally fell apart. It was inoperable. And they asked him, when is the last time you shot this? His last time he had to do this test, which was two years ago. So he thinks just because he has it. Also, just as men, everyone thinks they can fight.
The Money Mondays
Why Investing in Self Defense Is the Best Decision You'll Ever Make w/ Steve Eckert ⚔️ EP104
They think, oh, if it goes down, if the terrorist attack happens, if the active shooter comes here, I'll be able to take care of it. I'll step up then. But you're only going to fall back to your...
The Money Mondays
Why Investing in Self Defense Is the Best Decision You'll Ever Make w/ Steve Eckert ⚔️ EP104
your level of training that you have you're not going to be Billy badass in the superhero you're probably going to crumble under pressure and probably cause more damage than good if you're not getting those sets and reps in with the shooting that we're talking about and the fighting all right so on the fighting side we typically bring in Tony Blowers here Michael Chandler when he's not traveling for training for a fight we bring in some serious guys like very high level guys why is it important for men and women to learn how to fight
The Money Mondays
Why Investing in Self Defense Is the Best Decision You'll Ever Make w/ Steve Eckert ⚔️ EP104
Well, you don't always get to have the gun on. You go on a plane. You go in an airport. You check through the airport. Although I always try to sneak some stuff in that I can get in, but that's besides the point. We can edit that part out. But you're not always in a situation where you can carry. You can't bring a gun in certain places. And what happens if your gun malfunctions?
The Money Mondays
Why Investing in Self Defense Is the Best Decision You'll Ever Make w/ Steve Eckert ⚔️ EP104
What happens if someone takes the gun from you? What are you going to do then? Now you're completely disarmed.
The Money Mondays
Why Investing in Self Defense Is the Best Decision You'll Ever Make w/ Steve Eckert ⚔️ EP104
So you need to know how to handle yourself physically. That's part of just being that protector that we're talking about. It's just as important, making yourself a human weapon because it's just not always available to you. Also, they malfunction and they run out of bullets. Who knows what? There are endless scenarios.

Hey, what's up? It's awesome coming on. It's the perfect timing right after we just finished the class. I apologize, my voice might be a little froggy, but we're having some fun. It's needed. Some people need that. This is really what it's all about, about helping these individuals become...

Why Investing in Self Defense Is the Best Decision You'll Ever Make w/ Steve Eckert ⚔️ EP104
And think of the level of confidence you have that, okay, I'm capable in this area, also incapable in this area. This raises your level of confidence and these things bleed into all of the areas of your life. That confidence is going to show up at your family with your wife and your kids. That confidence is going to show up
The Money Mondays
Why Investing in Self Defense Is the Best Decision You'll Ever Make w/ Steve Eckert ⚔️ EP104
in the office with your team by doing these things that seem like it has nothing to do with business or making money. Absolutely. You get in better shape and get fit and strong and healthy. You learn how to shoot proficiently. You learn how to fight and defend yourself. You are, I guarantee you make more money. It's just impossible not to.
The Money Mondays
Why Investing in Self Defense Is the Best Decision You'll Ever Make w/ Steve Eckert ⚔️ EP104
Because they've had the sets and reps and so much in order to get that skilled and proficient. You think Michael Chandler is going to go get in a fistfight with someone at the bar or at a gas station? Hell no. But that amount of discipline to get to that level, like I said, it bleeds over into all the other areas.
The Money Mondays
Why Investing in Self Defense Is the Best Decision You'll Ever Make w/ Steve Eckert ⚔️ EP104
He has now emotional regulation, emotional discipline to not freak out and crumble under the pressure because he's been there. He's seen it.

Why Investing in Self Defense Is the Best Decision You'll Ever Make w/ Steve Eckert ⚔️ EP104
you also uh you're good at shooting or guys that come here that have been in in serious combat and seen some horrific things they know what it's like they don't want to be any part of that they want to be nowhere near it you want to de-escalate it and avoid it at all times but knowing that if i need to and that shit shows up my doorstep like here i am motherfucker i'm ready for it if needed don't want to but here i am

Why Investing in Self Defense Is the Best Decision You'll Ever Make w/ Steve Eckert ⚔️ EP104
And also putting himself in rooms. Like think about Blacksite. Yeah, I'm one of the instructors and I help run it, but showing up to a place like this where you're no longer, like a lot of other programs I go to, I'm the most successful. I'm the strongest. I'm in charge. I'm come here and around people that in different areas are such a higher level than you. It constantly elevate automatically.
The Money Mondays
Why Investing in Self Defense Is the Best Decision You'll Ever Make w/ Steve Eckert ⚔️ EP104
yeah we were helping them make money but really to become even better husbands and wives fathers and mothers and that's going to make them be a better entrepreneur because i probably probably you probably go down the list of your guests on this show i bet i'm probably one of the least richest but i can guarantee you because of things like operation black site i am the wealthiest that has ever been on your show i can promise you that there won't be anyone wealthier that will ever come on the show because wealth
