Today on the show, I sit down with Don Edwards, a prominent figure in the firearms training space. His journey caught my attention early on with his ability to assemble a diverse group of professional and specialized instructors. This summer, I had the privilege of not just meeting Don but also training with him. Originally planned as a podcast during that time, circumstances led to a delay, and here we are in Las Vegas at Shot Show 2024.It's been a whirlwind couple of days with intense conversations in energetic environments. This episode, however, is not your typical deep dive into Don's expertise in night vision technology, an area where he's widely recognized. Instead, I wanted to uncover the layers of Don Edwards—what drives him, his journey from past to present, and where he envisions heading in the future.This isn't just about firearms; it's about the man behind them!Greenline Tactical: www.greenlinetactical.comDon Edwards IG: @greenlinetacticalEpisode Sponsor:BioProtein Technology: https://bioproteintech.com/For $30 off your order use code "IRONSIGHTS" at checkout.BioPro+ can potentially help to improve balance hormones, increase sex drive, improves insulin sensitivity, and produce increases of mitochondria and nucleic acids to create a total system modulator.
