For anybody that's at a place in their career where you think you know it all or that you have arrived and that you have nothing left to learn, my advice to you would be immediately find a new career because you're probably at the most dangerous point in your current occupation.

You are lying to yourself if you think you know it all.

The real world is getting ready to just uppercut you right in the sack.

Just bam, Marvel superhero landing where you're like on the ground and then gah, right in the balls.

which is not awesome.

For women, I don't know the metaphor for that.

So you guys can fill in the blank on that one.

But imposter syndrome is good.

Crushing anxiety and imposter syndrome where you're afraid to take any action, not good.

On the CQB front, just food for thought.

Yes, you probably don't get to go to a kill house or a shoot house often and practice this skill set.

But where do you live?

Do you live in an apartment?

Do you live in a house?

Do you live in the neighborhood?

I still to this day work tactical problems in my mind.

I'm in a podcast studio right now.

I have cleared this thing and I'm not talking about like getting weapons out and pying corners and whatever.

All of that stuff, you know, from time to time, I will do that.

But there's a hallway outside here.
