## Resource

What happens when life goes sideways? In this episode of The John Lovell Show, John breaks down the military concept of the PACE plan — Primary, Alternate, Contingency, Emergency — and explains how he applies it far beyond combat. From communications and home defense to finances, water, and food, John shows how building backup plans over time can make you a better protector and provider. This is not about fear or paranoia. It is about being purposeful, thinking ahead, and taking small meaningful steps toward greater resilience for your family. He also explains the two areas of life where he refuses to build a backup plan at all.
