Speaker 1: Aero dot net. It's more than just a podcast. It
0:02
Speaker 1: is a podcast network that features so much more than
0:06
Speaker 1: just one long podcast. One of the top shows is
0:11
Speaker 1: all level sports. You don't have to like just the NBA,
0:14
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball, and basketball. No, you can get into
0:17
Speaker 1: something like how about this American Gladiators. It's all level sports,
0:22
Speaker 1: professional wrestling, all level sports. You've got your own channel.
0:26
Speaker 1: It's on Aero dot net a R r oe dot net.
0:30
Speaker 1: Enjoy your exploration. Hello and good morning everybody.
0:34
Speaker 2: Hi Eryl, I'm Beard here.
0:35
Speaker 3: How are you doing fantastic? How about you, sir?
0:38
Speaker 2: I'm well, thank you, thanks for having me on.
0:40
Speaker 1: Man, your imagination and your heart have got to be
0:43
Speaker 1: going crazy, because it seems like by the minute, by
0:46
Speaker 1: the second, the world is changing and everything that you're
0:49
Speaker 1: sharing with us are tools. But then you're going, wait
0:52
Speaker 1: a second, there's something else we can add to this
0:54
Speaker 1: tool chest?
0:57
Speaker 2: Yeah? Absolutely, And then you know. When we covered volume
1:00
Speaker 2: three of the three three book series will look twice
1:02
Speaker 2: book trilogy. In that one, we talk about specifically overseas
1:07
Speaker 2: travel and living. I talk about escaping from civil unrest,
1:12
Speaker 2: talk about medical and some things you need to consider
1:14
Speaker 2: before a situation happens, and then if you get cornered,
1:18
Speaker 2: what do you do for self defense? Some considerations that I'd
1:22
Speaker 2: love for members of your audience to think about, because
1:25
Speaker 2: it all comes back to, as I said in the
1:27
Speaker 2: previous two times you've had me on your show, it
1:30
Speaker 2: comes back to planning and preparation, having the right mindset,
1:34
Speaker 2: and mitigating.
1:35
Speaker 1: Risk civil unrest. I swear that I live with people
1:39
Speaker 1: that will travel to other countries and they will say, ah,
1:42
Speaker 1: if it happens, it happens. Why are we this way
1:45
Speaker 1: in this world? Or is that the way that we're
1:47
Speaker 1: trained to handle things?
1:50
Speaker 2: I think that this is my opinion on that from
1:53
Speaker 2: when I've been around the world. Americans are great folks,
1:57
Speaker 2: but Americans tend to be a little more on a
2:00
Speaker 2: naive side and more trusting than some people around the world.
2:04
Speaker 2: I've been in a lot of other countries and people
2:07
Speaker 2: are not They just they always look at things and
2:10
Speaker 2: they say, well, I want to see this first. I'm
2:13
Speaker 2: not sure that's actually the way it is. A lot
2:15
Speaker 2: of Americans go, well, there we are, I'll be fine,
2:19
Speaker 2: everything will work out, everything will be great. Sometimes it does,
2:23
Speaker 2: sometimes it doesn't. But I would offer hope is not
2:26
Speaker 2: a plan. You're better off plan and preparing and then
2:30
Speaker 2: you can you can adjust from your plans when things change.
2:34
Speaker 2: But if you haven't thought through it in advance, probably
2:38
Speaker 2: not going to work out well for you. Sports, for
2:40
Speaker 2: a second, if you're going to play football, you pretty
2:44
Speaker 2: much need to know what your game plan is going
2:46
Speaker 2: to be. Hey, they're really good at their passing game,
2:48
Speaker 2: or they're really good at their running game. This is
2:51
Speaker 2: what we're going to do to counter that so we
2:53
Speaker 2: can win the game. It's the same thing when you
2:56
Speaker 2: talk about civil unrest that could happen here in the
2:59
Speaker 2: United States. It can also happen some people want to
3:02
Speaker 2: travel to some developing countries in more difficult parts of
3:06
Speaker 2: the world. Civil unrest can happen very quickly because some
3:10
Speaker 2: of those countries lacks stability. So if you choose to go,
3:14
Speaker 2: at least have a plan on what you're going to
3:16
Speaker 2: do if everything falls apart.
3:18
Speaker 1: I actually have an interview coming up next week that's
3:20
Speaker 1: based on something that happened during World War Two, and
3:24
Speaker 1: one of the people that they shared a conversation with
3:26
Speaker 1: and putting this study together, he actually said, I don't
3:30
Speaker 1: want this to be heard in the United states, what
3:32
Speaker 1: do they know about being in a war? And I went, oh,
3:35
Speaker 1: my god. And when you talk about us being naive, yeah, yeah,
3:41
Speaker 1: I mean we don't know what it's like.
3:44
Speaker 2: Now. And the thing was, I've obviously had done in
3:47
Speaker 2: some myself, and it is it's a difficult experience. And
3:51
Speaker 2: when you go through that, I will say one hundred
3:55
Speaker 2: percent of the people that experience that will be changed.
3:59
Speaker 2: The changes can be subtle, the changes can be dramatic,
4:01
Speaker 2: depending on what you personally experienced. But no one goes
4:05
Speaker 2: through a war zone type environment without being changed permanently period.
4:12
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just the way it is. I've had
4:14
Speaker 2: friends before, I've had friends who've married people from other
4:19
Speaker 2: countries where they grew up in a war type setting
4:22
Speaker 2: and it significantly impacted them, and it impacted their relationships,
4:27
Speaker 2: it impacted their worldview. And I've heard this from my
4:30
Speaker 2: friends who were Americans who married folks from overseas and
4:34
Speaker 2: they said, wow, I never realized this has had an
4:37
Speaker 2: impact on whether they want to have children or not.
4:40
Speaker 2: It's had an impact on frequently they communicate with relatives,
4:44
Speaker 2: their views towards you know, when somebody dies, it passes,
4:49
Speaker 2: it changes everything and so you know, having that plan
4:54
Speaker 2: if you're going to go to the situation. This is
4:57
Speaker 2: a this is a big thing. A lot of folks
4:59
Speaker 2: that comes break and stuff. They want to go to
5:02
Speaker 2: other countries and they're like, Hey, I want to go
5:04
Speaker 2: and enjoy spring break in this country. Do you think
5:07
Speaker 2: it's safe? If you have to ask the question, do
5:11
Speaker 2: you think it's safe? If they're going to go have
5:14
Speaker 2: fun in the sun, that's probably not where you want
5:17
Speaker 2: to do it. The United States there's a huge place.
5:20
Speaker 2: There's a lot of great things to see, a lot
5:22
Speaker 2: of fun places to go. You don't want to put
5:26
Speaker 2: yourself in a situation where you're worried about how much
5:29
Speaker 2: get out if everything falls apart. That I call that
5:33
Speaker 2: venture travel. When you remember from volume three, if you're
5:36
Speaker 2: going to do a venture travel, you know they call
5:39
Speaker 2: it a war zone for a reason. Or there's an insurgency.
5:42
Speaker 2: That's a no joke thing. If somebody says, hey, there's
5:46
Speaker 2: an active insurgency in that country, I'm not going to
5:49
Speaker 2: go there for fun. That's just not on my list.
5:52
Speaker 3: Please do not move. We'll be right back with the
5:54
Speaker 3: One and Only Tim Beard coming up next. Look Twice
6:00
Speaker 3: Volumes one two and three. Trust me, it's not over.
6:04
Speaker 3: We are back with Tim Beard. Would you say that
6:07
Speaker 3: one of the most dangerous places in the United States
6:10
Speaker 3: right now, and this is not just the martial art
6:12
Speaker 3: is coming out in me. I think the most dangerous
6:14
Speaker 3: place is the family reunion.
6:18
Speaker 2: Well, you know that, as I said on these a
6:22
Speaker 2: lot of these interviews I've done. You know, security is
6:25
Speaker 2: not a political thing. It's not a left or right issue.
6:27
Speaker 2: It's a it's a human issue. It's I want to
6:30
Speaker 2: come home and eat dinner with my loved ones issue.
6:33
Speaker 2: But when you go to these family reunion settings, because
6:36
Speaker 2: I in my opinion again, I think that the United
6:39
Speaker 2: States is very polarized these days for a host of reasons.
6:44
Speaker 2: That polarization. If people, you know, want to inject politics
6:48
Speaker 2: into a family reunion, they want to have that kind
6:50
Speaker 2: of a discussion, that can get very hostile. People are
6:55
Speaker 2: emotionally led to their viewpoints, and that is that's a struggle.
6:59
Speaker 2: And I would offer my plan because planning preparing, if
7:04
Speaker 2: I go into that type of a setting, I choose
7:06
Speaker 2: not to discuss politics at all, and if people want
7:09
Speaker 2: to bring it up or they want to start making comments,
7:13
Speaker 2: I change the topic. It goes back to if it
7:16
Speaker 2: gets too rough, then maybe I'll mitigate that risk and
7:19
Speaker 2: it's time to go, Hey, I'm gonna have to cut
7:21
Speaker 2: my visit a little short. Love seeing y'all, but I
7:24
Speaker 2: don't want to engage in these conversations. Happy to stay
7:28
Speaker 2: and talk, but if we're going to go down that path,
7:31
Speaker 2: I think it's best that I say farewell until next time.
7:36
Speaker 2: That's the approach I would take.
7:37
Speaker 1: There's another dangerous area, and it's only because I love
7:40
Speaker 1: working at a grocery store because to me, that's church,
7:43
Speaker 1: that is the real community. And I've got all of
7:45
Speaker 1: these lottery winners that are coming in there, winning a
7:48
Speaker 1: lot of money, and they get upset with me because
7:51
Speaker 1: I hand the money to them inconspicuously, and they go,
7:54
Speaker 1: why are you doing this? And I look at him,
7:56
Speaker 1: I say, because that person over there just saw me
7:58
Speaker 1: give you a ton of cash. You can walk out
8:00
Speaker 1: of here with that person following you. Why are we
8:03
Speaker 1: this naive or stupid when it comes to money or
8:07
Speaker 1: protecting ourselves in public?
8:09
Speaker 3: And with your book?
8:10
Speaker 2: Twice I asked the question, I'm not the freak here.
8:12
Speaker 1: I swear to God this needs to be talked about
8:14
Speaker 1: and you're doing it.
8:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that is absolutely the case. Think about
8:21
Speaker 2: this one too. Somebody goes and buys a fancy car,
8:24
Speaker 2: and there are two kinds of people who buy cars
8:27
Speaker 2: at car dealers. I've heard this from the car dealers.
8:30
Speaker 2: The people who want the sticker left on the window
8:34
Speaker 2: so they can pull in and everyone can walk over
8:36
Speaker 2: and say, wow, look at all the features and options
8:40
Speaker 2: they have. And then there are people where they're like,
8:43
Speaker 2: you don't want me, You want me to take the
8:44
Speaker 2: sticker off the car. Yes, yes, and then they'll hand
8:47
Speaker 2: it to you. But there's a whole group of people
8:50
Speaker 2: that want it left on you. And I have seen
8:52
Speaker 2: these people throughout our life. They buy the car and
8:55
Speaker 2: for the next several days they drive it around because
8:58
Speaker 2: they want everyone to know how much much they paid.
9:01
Speaker 2: That's just I think that's part of the human condition.
9:04
Speaker 2: Some people want that attention. They want people to know, Hey,
9:08
Speaker 2: I just won the lottery. When you win the lottery,
9:12
Speaker 2: especially if it ends up in the newspaper because it's
9:14
Speaker 2: a size or someplace in the media because it's a
9:16
Speaker 2: sizable amount, there are fraudsters who are trying to somehow
9:21
Speaker 2: separate you from your money. Saying, like when people pass
9:24
Speaker 2: and the obituary is published, if you give too much
9:27
Speaker 2: information in the obituary, there are people who make their
9:31
Speaker 2: living trying to go after people who have recently had
9:36
Speaker 2: a family member pass, especially if there was a significant
9:38
Speaker 2: transfer of wealth. I think it's best to be, as
9:42
Speaker 2: I use the term from volume one in the Look
9:44
Speaker 2: Twice mindset, it's best to be under the radar on
9:48
Speaker 2: these things. If you put an obituary in a newspaper
9:51
Speaker 2: or some media, for I would say, you want to
9:54
Speaker 2: put in the minimal information if you're getting you know,
9:58
Speaker 2: if you win the lottery, that's great, get the money.
10:02
Speaker 2: It's better to have it something other than cash. But
10:05
Speaker 2: if it has to be cash, you want to go
10:07
Speaker 2: with a friend. You want to make sure you have
10:09
Speaker 2: a plan to quickly leave from the air. You're going
10:12
Speaker 2: to get that money into a bank where it can't
10:15
Speaker 2: be taken from you by force.
10:17
Speaker 1: You're gonna think I'm a freak in the way that
10:19
Speaker 1: I mean. We've got a Look twice, Volume one, two
10:22
Speaker 1: and three, and inside my heart, I'm going he calmly said,
10:27
Speaker 1: Look twice. Now you're gonna go out there a fourth time. Okay,
10:30
Speaker 1: now you have to face the real world. You did
10:32
Speaker 1: not look twice. How do we deal with this and
10:35
Speaker 1: get this to as my dad would say, will you
10:36
Speaker 1: please let it sink into that noggat on that's resting
10:39
Speaker 1: on your shoulder.
10:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, would you read this? If somebody reads the book
10:45
Speaker 2: series and the printed break pages, there's a lot of
10:47
Speaker 2: material in there. It's six hundred and forty two pages
10:50
Speaker 2: total between the three volumes and the print version. You
10:53
Speaker 2: read the look twice mindset, which is about thirty pages
10:56
Speaker 2: in volume one. The other fifteen chapters apply. It's a
11:00
Speaker 2: different part of people's lives. The thing that's important to
11:04
Speaker 2: do though, I am trying to change the way that
11:07
Speaker 2: people see their world and then how they maneuver through it.
11:13
Speaker 2: So I want folks to to look twice. A lot
11:16
Speaker 2: of times they'll look at something but they won't see it.
11:20
Speaker 2: It just somebody runs by in a bright red sweater.
11:23
Speaker 2: Hey did you see that guy were talking about? I
11:27
Speaker 2: saw you looking that direction. They looked, but they didn't
11:31
Speaker 2: see it. It didn't a register in their head. Sometimes
11:34
Speaker 2: you have and look back to get your mind to say,
11:38
Speaker 2: what is that? Ask the question and let it sink in.
11:42
Speaker 2: That is very important when you're doing security type things.
11:46
Speaker 2: For your security and safety, you have to be aware
11:50
Speaker 2: in the moment. You have to absorb what's going on
11:53
Speaker 2: around you. Not in a paranoid way, not in a
11:56
Speaker 2: freaky way. You just need to be present. You can't
12:00
Speaker 2: be a lot of folks think I can do ten
12:03
Speaker 2: different things. Not well, you may think you could do
12:08
Speaker 2: ten things. I hate to break it to you, you're
12:10
Speaker 2: not doing any of them. Well, perhaps consider doing one
12:16
Speaker 2: or two, maybe a maximum of three things. I would
12:19
Speaker 2: recommend one or two and focusing your attention, especially when
12:25
Speaker 2: you're exposed on the street or in a place where
12:28
Speaker 2: a potential adversary and get at you. You need to
12:32
Speaker 2: be in the moment. If that that's half the battle
12:36
Speaker 2: right there.
12:36
Speaker 1: So now let me ask you this question is in
12:39
Speaker 1: the way of you've invited us to look twice, But
12:42
Speaker 1: as a martial artist, I'm going I need you to
12:45
Speaker 1: smell the air, and I need you to listen closer,
12:48
Speaker 1: because if anybody's approaching you, you're going to hear it.
12:53
Speaker 2: Right. You want to use all your senses, you know,
12:55
Speaker 2: and some folks they don't have all their senses, and
12:59
Speaker 2: maybe they lost sense of smell during COVID never came back.
13:03
Speaker 2: Some people lose their hearing as they age because of
13:07
Speaker 2: for whatever reason, listen to loud music when they were younger.
13:09
Speaker 1: The buds. They've got those darn earbuds and they can't
13:12
Speaker 1: hear you. Whatever. Yeah, that's a victim waiting to happen
13:16
Speaker 1: right there.
13:17
Speaker 2: You got to use the senses you have, and you
13:20
Speaker 2: need to be in the moment. So the thing is,
13:22
Speaker 2: if you can see and you can hear, and you're
13:24
Speaker 2: like most folks that are out there, then you need
13:27
Speaker 2: to apply those senses. If you start taking senses away,
13:32
Speaker 2: you are making your situation more difficult. And what's your goal?
13:36
Speaker 2: Your goal is to go home and eat dinner with
13:38
Speaker 2: your loved ones, and you want to You want to
13:40
Speaker 2: go through your day and enjoy your location, enjoy your
13:44
Speaker 2: time with family, friends, coworkers, and you'll live your life.
13:48
Speaker 2: If an adversary wants to deny you that, if they
13:51
Speaker 2: want to take that away, your victory is by avoiding
13:56
Speaker 2: and mitigating that risk and not letting them do that.
14:00
Speaker 2: So that's what I would recommend.
14:01
Speaker 1: Where can people go to find out more about you?
14:03
Speaker 1: Tim Because fifteen minutes flies by like like three seconds.
14:07
Speaker 1: So I really want them to tap into what you're doing.
14:10
Speaker 1: My master in martial arts would love you. So I
14:12
Speaker 1: hope that you're reaching out to these schools of martial
14:14
Speaker 1: arts as well, because you're bringing a sense of reality

Speaker 1: that they're candy coated plastic bathroom merr smiles are going
