Episode 384 – How To Be A Protector Of Women

Who better to explain what makes a woman feel safe and protected than a woman who specializes in it? My guest is Beth Warford, the founder of Pretty Loaded in North Dakota, who is dedicated to equipping both men AND women to be their own first responders.

What do you need to be your own first responder? To that end, Beth starts off by showing you how you can use situational awareness every day.

Why do criminals go after soft targets…and how can you be a hard target instead? Why is it imperative to talk with your partner about safety and come up with a plan? What are some pre-attack body language indicators? What do South Korean border guards do that we all can and should emulate (and it’s easy)?

Next up, I share a real-world security situation I encountered recently with Beth. What did I do right, and what could I have done better?

Next, find out what is typically taught for the first half of concealed carry training, and why it’s not surprising. And what are some other ways besides firearms that men can become better protectors immediately? I mean, for starters, should a grown-ass man carry pepper spray?

How can you talk to a woman on a first date to indicate you’re all about her protection? Given that the world thankfully isn’t constantly full of life-threatening situations, what can we as men do during the course of normal, everyday life to make women feel safer? Hint: There’s one BIG one that most younger guys don’t figure out until they get older.

How does natural human nature often hinder us in panic security situations? What are some ‘boneheaded’ security situations men typically drag women into that could be easily avoided? Is there anything extra to think about when your kids are with you? And finally, what should you do if another man disrespects your wife or girlfriend when you’re out with her?
