    Anthony ‘Staz’ Stazicker CGCThruDark Co-Founder Former SBS“The Hard Road Will Take You Home”I'm thrilled to share the latest episode STAZ from ThruDark with you all. I had the honour of sitting down with Anthony ‘Staz’ Stazicker CGC, a former member of the UK Special Boat Service (SBS). His journey from the frontlines of Afghanistan to founding the groundbreaking, Tier 1 Quality clothing brand - THRUDARK is nothing short of inspiring. Here are some key takeaways and intriguing insights from our conversation: Key Lessons and Ideas Bravery Redefined: Anthony shares that bravery isn't the absence of fear but the ability to act despite it. His stories from Afghanistan, where he was awarded the Conspicuous Gallantry Cross (CGC), highlight this nuanced understanding of courage. Medals and Meaning: The CGC, awarded for valour, is a symbol of collective achievement rather than individual heroism. Anthony's sentiment, "Medals are for mothers," underscores the shared nature of military success. Training and Experience: The rigorous training in the Royal Marines and SBS prepared Anthony for high-pressure situations. He emphasises that exposure to challenging environments and repetitive training are crucial for developing an automatic response to stress. Transition to Civilian Life: Anthony's shift from military to civilian life wasn't easy. He co-founded the clothing brand THRUDARK with his friend Louis Tinsley, channeling their military experiences into a new venture. This transition highlights the importance of finding a new mission and maintaining a sense of community. Authenticity in Business: THRUDARK s success is rooted in authenticity. The brand's gear is tested in real-world, extreme conditions, and their marketing features real people, not models. This genuine approach resonates deeply with their audience. Learning from Failure: Anthony's mantra, "I either win or I learn," is a powerful reminder that failure is a stepping stone to success. This perspective has shaped his approach to both business and life. Support Systems: The importance of having a support system, whether in the military or civilian life, cannot be overstated. Anthony's partnership with Louis and the support from his partner Ruby have been crucial in his journey.Special Forces Insights: High-Stakes Operations: Anthony recounts two significant operations in Afghanistan, including thwarting a large-scale Taliban attack and a high-stakes firefight. These stories provide a gripping look into the realities of special forces operations. From Sniper to Entrepreneur: The transition from a specialised military role to civilian life is challenging. Anthony's journey from sniper to entrepreneur is a testament to adaptability and resilience. THRUDARK's Mission: The brand's strapline, "Endeavor Through Adversity," reflects their philosophy of pushing through challenges. Their high-performance gear is designed for extreme conditions, inspired by Anthony's military experiences. Upcoming Collaborations and Charity Work: An exciting collaboration withThe Call of Duty Endowment, helping get veterans back to work. https://www.callofdutyendowment.org/ This partnership underscores Through Dark's commitment to social responsibility. I hope these highlights spark your curiosity and entice you to listen to the full episode. Anthony's journey is a powerful reminder of the importance of purpose, resilience, and authenticity in navigating life's challenges.

  • MICK HAWKES- QCB - “Unveiling the Secrets of Covert Operations, Self Defence and Security” 22 SAS
    2024/10/27
    In this riveting episode I welcome Mick Hawkes, a former British 22 SAS operator, to discuss his military experiences and the transition to his current mission of enhancing rural security. This episode offers a deep dive into the complexities of covert operations, the mindset required for high-stakes missions, and actionable advice for improving security in the agricultural sector.This episode highlights Mick's dedication to leveraging his military expertise to enhance community safety."Michael Hawkes QCB," stands for Queen's Commendation for Bravery, an honour he received for his covert operations in Northern Ireland.This prestigious award was given for his exceptional service during his undercover work. He elaborates on the nature of his work, emphasising the complexities and dangers involved in such missions. Mick reflects on the challenges faced during operations, highlighting the importance of situational awareness and self-protection.He spoke about his time in Northern Ireland, illustrating the skills he developed that are now applicable to his current work. He notes that during his covert operations, he often had to blend into rural environments, which has given him unique insights into the vulnerabilities of farms and rural properties.After leaving the military, Mick found himself living on a farm in a posh area, which sparked his interest in the agricultural industry. Initially focused on personal safety and situational awareness training, he soon recognised a significant gap in security culture within the farming community. Farmers are often easy targets for criminals due to a lack of security measures and awareness.To address this issue, Mick has developed a series of courses aimed at agricultural colleges, focusing on rural situational awareness and farm security. He believes that by teaching young farmers about the tactics used by criminals, they can better protect themselves and their properties.## Captured in Bosnia: A Lesson in Composure - The IncidentThe conversation shifts to a specific incident during Mick's time in Bosnia, where he and a colleague, Billy Billingham, were captured. Mick recounts the experience, noting that while they were detained, they maintained a level of composure that allowed them to gather intelligence on their captors. He describes how Billy, who attempted to communicate in Serbo-Croat, was repeatedly dragged in for questioning, while Mick chose a different tactic for his success.He shares that this mentality of resilience and calmness in the face of adversity is something he has passed on to his children, who are also in the military.## Active Shooter Training: Practical Advice ### Run, Hide, FightMick explains their approach to active shooter training, which involves teaching everyone in a company—from the CEO to the janitor—about their options in a crisis. He outlines the three primary responses: run, hide, and fight. While running and hiding are preferable, he stresses that sometimes fighting back is necessary. He cites examples from real-life situations, such as the Bondi Stabbing incident, where individuals who chose to confront the attacker had a better chance of survival.Mick shares a story about a company in America that sought his advice on security measures. He identified safe havens, where employees could hide during an active shooter situation. By marking these locations with clear signage, he aimed to reduce panic and provide a straightforward solution.### Military ExperiencesWe talked about the differences between various special forces units, specifically comparing the SAS to Delta Force. Mick shares his experiences working with Delta - to find out more you’ll have to listen to the end!

  • Philip Toppino Owner- 
W.O.F.T. (Where Our Families Train) “Navigating Danger: How Families Stay Safe in Everyday Situations”
    2024/10/20

    Philip Toppino founded W.O.F.T. (Where Our Families Train) to provide scenario-based safety training, empowering individuals and families to handle real-life situations. Located on a 20-acre facility near Orlando, Florida, WOFT combines practical skills with situational awareness.


    I’m thrilled to share the incredible insights from our latest episode.
This time, I had the pleasure of speaking with Philip , the founder and director of WOFT (West Orlando Firearms Training). Trust me, you don’t want to miss this one!

    
**Why You Should Tune In:**


    
1. **Real-Life Scenario Safety and Instruction**: Philip’s facility, WOFT, specialises in scenario-based training that prepares you for real-life encounters. Imagine learning how to handle potentially dangerous situations in a safe, controlled environment. It’s like a movie studio backlot for personal safety!

    2. **Empowerment Through Awareness**: We dive deep into the importance of situational awareness. Philip shares how being aware of your surroundings can make you a "hard target" and significantly reduce your risk of becoming a victim.


    
3. **Practical Self-Defense Tools**: From flashlights to pepper spray, Philip explains how everyday items can be used creatively for self-defence. He even demonstrates how wind can affect pepper spray, emphasising the need for practical experience and practice.


    4. **Family-Friendly Training**: WOFT isn’t just for the hardcore enthusiasts. It’s designed to be accessible and empowering for families, including mothers and children. Philip’s goal is to create a welcoming environment where everyone can learn together.

    5. **Learning from Mistakes**: We talk about the importance of making mistakes in a safe environment. It’s better to learn and correct errors during training than in real-life situations.


    
6. **Hands-On Experience**: Online courses are great, but nothing beats the experience of being physically put under pressure in realistic scenarios. Philip and I both agree that everyone should experience purposed based learning with scenario training at least once.


    
7. **Transformative Outcomes**: Hear inspiring stories, like that of Lindsey Graham (Patriot Barbie), who credits WOFT with saving her life through improved situational awareness.


    
8. **Tailored Training**: Philip emphasizes the importance of creating a custom learning experience tailored to each participant’s skill level and life experiences. This personalized approach ensures that everyone walks away with valuable, applicable skills.


    
**Curious Yet?**


    
If you’re intrigued by the idea of becoming more aware, prepared, and confident in your daily life, this episode is a must-listen. Philip’s passion for safety and education shines through, and his insights are both practical and empowering.

  • MARCUS TORGERSON “It’s OK To Stand Up For Yourself - Reclaiming Your Power Through Self-Defense”
    2024/09/28

    MARCUS TORGERSON - Warrior Shepherd, Author, Speaker

    I’m thrilled to share the incredible insights from our latest episode featuring the amazing Marcus Torgerson.
    If you’ve ever wondered how to overcome fear, build self-worth, and develop a mindset that deters potential attackers, this episode is a must-listen. 


    Marcus is a self-defense expert who empowers individuals affected by violence. 
He brings over 45 years of experience in martial arts and self-defense, and his wisdom is both practical and empowering.

    BUT - he advocates for practical self-defense techniques over traditional martial arts.

    The discussion covers societal conditioning, especially women's responses to threats, the psychological aspects of violence, and the responsibilities of carrying weapons for self-defense. Marcus underscores the necessity of training and preparation to handle real-life confrontations effectively, promoting a proactive approach to personal safety.

    Here are the key takeaways from our conversation:

    Overcoming Fear:
    Building Self-Worth:

    Practical Self-Defense: Marcus advocates for simple, replicable movements that anyone can learn, focusing on mindset and physicality rather than traditional martial arts.

    Societal Conditioning: We discuss how societal norms, especially for women, often discourage self-defense.

    Mindset Over Techniques:

    Responsibilities of Carrying Weapons: If you choose to carry a weapon, regular training and understanding the legal and emotional consequences are essential.

    Mother’s Instinct: Marcus uses the analogy of a mother protecting her child to illustrate the innate strength we all possess.

    Violence as a Tool: He explains that violence itself is neutral; it’s the intent behind it that matters. Good people can and should use violence to protect themselves and others when necessary.

    Domestic vs. Predatory Violence: Marcus distinguishes between different types of violence and stresses that domestic violence can affect anyone, regardless of gender.

    Marcus’s passion for helping others and his unique perspective on violence and self-worth will leave you feeling inspired and ready to take action.

    
Tune in to this powerful episode and discover how you can transform your mindset and take control of your safety and self-worth. Let’s empower ourselves and each other to face life’s challenges with confidence and resilience.
    Stay safe and stay strong!

  • ARIUS SORBONNE- Snakestaff Systems The Critical Role of Tourniquets for Safety and Preparedness
    2024/09/22
    In this episode I discuss the critical role of tourniquets in emergencies with my guest Arius Sorbonne, co-founder of Snake Staff Systems along with his amazing wife- Jessica. Arius explains the innovative design and functionality of their tourniquet, emphasizing its portability and effectiveness, especially for children. We stress the significance of emergency preparedness and advocate for carrying tourniquets as part of everyday safety gear to handle unexpected injuries.Key Features of the Snake Staff Systems' Tourniquet- as seen on the Shawn Ryan Show and featured with Dom Raso of Dynamis Alliance Compact Design: The tourniquet reduces the overall profile by about 65% by eliminating the sleeve found in traditional models, making it more portable and user-friendly. Suitable for both Children, Babies, Pets and Adults.. ( most aren’t) . One-Inch Webbing: The core component responsible for constricting blood flow is a one-inch piece of webbing, which has been effective in saving lives for years. Carabiner Lock: This feature enhances reliability during patient transport, addressing a common issue with other tourniquets that can become dislodged. Arius's Family Experience: Arius shared a personal story about a friend who had to apply a tourniquet to his child after a trampoline accident. This real-life example underscores the necessity of having such equipment on hand. Practical Skills for Kids: We touched on the importance of teaching first aid skills to children. Familiarity with medical supplies can empower kids to act confidently in emergencies. Everyday Carry (EDC): Many people are now including tourniquets in their EDC, which can be a game-changer in emergencies. Having essential medical supplies on hand can significantly increase survival chances. What First Aid do YOU EDC?Beyond his work with Snake Staff Systems, Arius collaborates closely with a range of specialized units, including Special Forces and SWAT teams. His expertise in tactical medical equipment and emergency response protocols makes him a valuable asset to these high-stakes environments. By working with these elite groups, Arius ensures that the tourniquets and other medical tools developed by Snake Staff Systems meet the rigorous demands of field operations. His partnerships with these units also provide critical feedback that drives continuous improvement and innovation in their products, ultimately enhancing the safety and effectiveness of first responders and military personnel.Additionally, Arius delves into the craftsmanship behind the custom firearms he manufactures, detailing the precision engineering and rigorous testing each gun undergoes to ensure reliability and safety. He shares insights into the various models they produce, tailored for different needs, from personal defense to professional use, and underscores the importance of responsible gun ownership and proper training.Arius notes that the messaging around self-defense and medical preparedness can often be polarizing, with some people dismissing the need for such knowledge. However, he believes that framing the conversation around safety and preparedness can help bridge the gap between differing viewpoints. By focusing on universal values like protecting loved ones, they can encourage more people to engage with the concepts of self-defense and emergency medical training.Final Thoughts: This episode is a powerful reminder of the importance of being prepared for emergencies. Arius and I shared a mutual understanding of the necessity of carrying reliable medical equipment and being proactive about personal safety. I encourage you to listen to the full episode and consider investing in a quality tourniquet for your safety and the safety of your loved ones.You can find Arius at https://www.snakestaffsystems.com/video
