In this episode, I talk to Patrick Van Horne, CEO and co-founder of the CP Journal, and co-author of "Left of Bang: How The Marine Corps Combat Hunter Program Can Save Your Life." Patrick shares a wealth of valuable and useful information about how to quickly and accurately detect people planning violence, and how to avoid dangerous situations BEFORE they happen. Topics Discussed: • The origin of "Left of Bang" in the USMC Combat Hunter program. • How combat profiling can be applied to normal civilian life. • The difference between behavior profiling and racial profiling. • The Four Pillars of behavior, and how to assess them. • How to identify what's "normal" in any situation, and how to spot people who are up to no good. • Ensure situational awareness by asking yourself three specific questions. • Four categories of behavior that alert you to danger. • A process to quickly decide WHEN to act, and HOW to act. • How to spot pre-event indicators in both normal and very crowded environments. • Equipment-based solutions to threats vs. training-based solutions. • A "Decision Tree" that civilians can use to stay left of bang.
