Today we do an entire hour of "Get It Off Your Chest" with Matt Pranka. Matt recently retired from a high level Army Special Operations Unit (Read into that as much as you want), a USPSA Grand Master, and the owner of X-Ray Alpha LLC Training Company. Recently Matt has been posing questions on his IG page that have shaken up the status quo in the areas of Tactics, Training, and Competition. So I decided to have him come back on the show and elaborate on those thoughts. The next hour may hurt some feelings but that is not the intent. The intent is to start thinking about things from another point of view. A view that has been forged out of accomplishments at the highest level.
