  On today's Coffee with Rich, we will be joined by Charles Haywood. Charles Haywood writes at The Worthy House. He was born in Indiana, where he now lives with his Australian wife and five children. His father taught Russian history at Purdue University. His mother was born in Hungary, and Charles has spent quite a bit of time in Hungary and maintains a keen interest in Hungarian affairs. After getting a degree in history from Indiana University, Haywood moved to Chicago, to obtain a law degree from the University of Chicago Law School. He graduated in 1994 and clerked for a year for the late Hon. Michael S. Kanne, on the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, and then practiced as a big-firm lawyer in Chicago in the late 1990s and early 2000s, primarily mergers-and-acquisitions and securities law. However, Charles tired of law and wanted to be rich. So he gave more of his money to the University of Chicago, to get an MBA at the Booth School of Business. Then he moved back to Indiana and started a business that developed and manufactured hair care products (after first briefly operating a woodworking and cabinetry business). He grew the business to 150 employees and sold it in 2020. Now, other than The Worthy House, Charles involves himself in various political and cultural matters, but also devotes considerable time to trying to be a gentleman farmer. He and his family raise bees, chickens, and a wide variety of plants, and he hopes to expand these endeavors.

Join me today for a discussion with Walt Settlemyre the Host of The Distinguished Savage Podcast. Walt Settlemyre is a US Army veteran serving with the 25th ID for the majority of his 4 years active duty. After the Army he followed several career paths along with higher education but was always missing something meaningful!   Looking for purpose he initially found Fire Service and ultimately Emergency Medical Services as a Paramedic. With 30 years now as a Paramedic in 911 systems the vast majority of that time has been spent in EMS Special Operations as both a Tactical Medic and Rescue Medic. Until recently the last 20 years was focused more on the Rescue side of the house including swift water, and swift water boat operations, rope rescue, high angle, structural collapse, trench rescue, infectious disease response, and Search and Rescue.   After an injury made it difficult to remain in Special Operations and moving in to Field Operations on a regular ambulance he then focused both on teaching Tactical and Austere Med Courses to civilians and on revamping the defensive tactics program for his department, Austin Travis Co EMS. The program he helped build now consists of elements from different defensive tactics methodologies that flow well together. Situational awareness and deescalation, Tony Blauers Spear, Gracie Survival Tactics, Jon Burke’s P4 program, and elements of the Shivworks Collective’s Managing Unknown Contacts as well as fighting in an enclosed and entangled environment as in the back of an ambulance, where a majority of assaults on EMS personnel occur.   Two years ago he also started a podcast, The Distinguished Savage in an effort to talk to other like minded individuals on self defense, EDC, critical thinking skills, along with people’s story. Now nearing retirement in EMS he’s looking towards moving in to executive protection and continuing the podcast!   8Distinguished Savage Podcast: The Distinguished Savage Podcast on Apple Podcastshttps://podcasts.apple.com › podcast › the-distinguished...   Coffee with Rich Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/rhodieusmc/videos American Warrior Show: https://americanwarriorshow.com/index.html SWAG: https://shop.americanwarriorsociety.com/ American Warrior Society please visit: https://americanwarriorsociety.com/

At a young age, he came to appreciate the value of a founding document that protects the rights of its citizens, and prevents atrocities like those experienced by his grandparents. As an adult, Tzvi became an advocate of the Second Amendment and worked on creating a large network of like minded people in his community. Tzvi founded the NYS Jewish Gun Club and the United Jewish Gun Coalition to promote responsible gun ownership in Jewish communities. He also consults with synagogues and Jewish institutions about their security needs. He believes that when people are united they can accomplish much more. He has therefore made it his mission to unite people in support of the Second Amendment.
