Full Episode
Good morning, everybody. Welcome back. Today, we're talking largely about internet safety. I've read that we have access to 98% of the known knowledge of mankind through our devices, laptop, tablet, phone, whatever it may be. How do we access that safely, though, with our children? How do we create a system an app, a portal that allows them to access it safely with barriers and boundaries.
Because if you have kids, you know, you do the absolute best that you can. You're not always there. And sometimes unfettered access, unsupervised access to the internet can lead to really, really dark places. My guest today is Josh Thurman. He is the co-founder and chief operating officer of a company called Angel AI.
I am not even going to begin to describe what they do because he does an amazing job and we actually walk through it in real time showing it. Before this though, before Josh got into the entrepreneurial world, he was a Navy SEAL. He served for 12 plus years, deployed overseas 11 times in the support of the Global War on Terror. I let him describe his career.
It's fascinating to me to see the people, where they come from, why, what they do while they're in, and then what they do afterwards. It's a fascinating story arc to me. It's inspirational. I always leave these conversations thinking, God, I know that I can do more and I need to. So before we get into episode 384 with Josh Thurman, let me pay the bills.
Today's episode is brought to you by Montana Knife Company. If you have been a fan of the podcast, you've probably heard the episodes I've done with their founder, Josh Smith. This brand, born, bred, raised, and is growing rapidly in Montana, about 100 miles south of where I am. Frenchtown, Montana is where they're currently operating.
They're building a massive facility on the western edge of Missoula. So the Montana Knife Company is Kind of makes sense where that came from. The state of Montana is also in the logo, but it's a global brand. These are some of the highest quality knives I've ever gotten my hands on. Beyond the fact that Josh is bringing jobs back into Montana, these are American made.
I literally have met the people that have made and sharpened these knives for me. This is a family business that is exploding globally. It hasn't changed who they are and what they stand for. Now, they release their knives on Tuesdays and Saturdays. They go very quickly. You can also sign up for their email list or a text. notification because sometimes they do surprise drops.
Their knives oftentimes when they do those drops Tuesdays and Saturdays will sell out within minutes. I highly recommend actually purchasing something like a sticker on their website so they have your payment information saved. I have literally had at least a half a dozen knives taken out of my shopping cart because I didn't do exactly that.
I was putting in my credit card information and they sold out before I could execute the transaction. It's very frustrating. Even though I know Josh, there's nothing that I can do about it. Head over to MontanaKnifeCompany.com. Check out what they have. I have their website in front of me. They have awesome apparel. Their knives, again, are second to none.
