## Resource

Killer Mike and Bear sit down with Mickey Schuch, founder of Carry Trainer, for a conversation that goes far beyond firearms. Known for his work in self defense and personal protection, Mickey has built a national platform focused on mindset, awareness, and the responsibility that comes with carrying and protecting yourself in the real world. This episode moves past surface level gun talk and gets into decision making under pressure, accountability, and what it actually means to be prepared. Mickey breaks down how most people misunderstand protection, why mindset matters more than mechanics, and how everyday choices can have permanent consequences. The conversation is intense, honest, and grounded in real life experience, with moments that challenge how you think about safety, responsibility, and control.
