Jonathan Burke | The Best Insurance You Don’t Have

“That won’t ever happen to me.” 

Ever catch yourself saying that? You know, you hear a news story about the smash-and-grab in a city parking lot…or the car following a lady home from her grocery store trip…or the drunk dude who just randomly landed a punch on an innocent pedestrian, sending him to the hospital with a serious head injury…

“Nah, that won’t ever happen to me. My shopping areas have great security…I live in a safe area…I’m not out late at night…”

But, what if you’re wrong? I mean, athletes have beaten the odds. Teams have beaten the odds. WEATHER has beaten the odds. Last time I checked, criminals can beat the odds, too.

This is why I brought back Jonathan Burke to my show – one of the top self-defense and close quarters combat experts on the planet. In one of my BEST episodes of the year, Jon and I tackle one of the most overlooked and undervalued topics around human performance today.
