There are two kinds of people in this world. Those who will take this lecture in and use it wisely, and those who will reject it.

0:23 Red dot on the water bottle lol loved that!

One of the few trainers I want to take a class from anymore

I've been following Paul's training since the early 2000s and his systems have worked well for me. Not only have my hard skills drastically improved, so has my ability to logically think through tactical problems and sort out what matters from what doesn't. I had to deflate my ego and get back to the basics. Dry firing at a pastie on the wall sucks but it works.

Are tactical beards available in the pro shop? 👍

As ALWAYS, "Spot On" information !
😉👍

Much appreciated for taking the time and making this video with all the talking points and topics. Every one is a big dose of reality that everyone should listen and apply.

Paul keep on producing your content.  Thanks very much......

It would be great to see a Matt Pranka Paul Howe discussion

Being able to think for yourself is huge . Unfortunately lots of people cannot do that

Excellent video with much food for thought, thank you.

I’ll be saving this one.

Thank you for taking the time to post, Paul. Again reminding folks to THINK before making decisions so they can decide what works for them. I do not get the "my way or the highway" feeling from any of your teaching.

Always look forward to learning something new with each of these videos.

I suddenly know what to do with my extra red dots that have just been lying around.

Sir, God must love your wise advice - I and my colleagues have worked, trained, lived and seriously engaged hard men - basics and fundamentals give you life; fashion and cattle class give you death on an industrial scale - choices - if your life matters .......... my very simple life matters so Basics, fundamentals and training under stress rings the bell!

Excellent again Paul. Many thanks.

Definite over grip. There's a sweet little sleeve from strike industries that adds a beaver tail to the sprayer neck. It's not cheap but it's really helped my stream

Solid message here.

What really stood out is the distinction between understanding the herd versus becoming it. Equipment, trends, and internet consensus all have a place, but performance, outcomes, and disciplined training matter more than popularity or gadgets.

The reminder that instructors earn credibility through student results, safety, and repeat performance, not gear choices or jargon, hits home. Autonomy, critical thinking, and intent-driven training should guide doctrine, with methods evolving only when they stop working.

Appreciate the emphasis on experience, accountability, and keeping lethality, judgment, and safety ahead of entertainment.

Mr Howe thank you for this information. 👍🏻🇺🇲
