Patrick van Horne, author of Left of Bang, started off in the Marine Corps, where he learned how to use force to respond to danger, and, later, how to use foresight to avoid it. Today, he teaches people all over the world how to detect and avoid danger through relaxed, informed awareness.

In this conversation, we discuss Patrick’s career, the Combat Hunter Program, the tension and friction in today’s society, and how regular people can keep themselves safe in these uncertain times.
