## Resource

In this episode of the Colion Noir Podcast, Colion sits down with Len, the owner of the iconic “tire range” — officially known as TDSA (Texas Defensive Shooting Academy) — and the man who played a major role in getting Colion started on his firearms journey. Len was the first range owner in Dallas to give Colion a shot — literally and figuratively — back when he was just getting started in the world of guns and content creation. Together, they reflect on how they met, the early days at TDSA, and how that chance encounter helped shape the direction of Colion’s career.
