It would be fair to say that Shaun has seen his fair share of violence and depravity throughout his life. In fact, more like many lives worth. But it has not defined the man he has become today. Despite it trying its very best. Shaun O’Gorman is a highly accomplished and recognised Retired Police Officer and former member of the Queensland Police Dog Squad, or K9 Unit. After joining the force at the tender age of 19, Shaun worked his way up to the K9 unit at just age 22. His normal ‘every day’ would consist of anything from violent domestic disturbances, armed hold-ups, vehicle pursuits or large brawls. Shaun also worked as a tactical dog handler with the Special Emergency Response Team (SWAT). Several years later he joined the Covert and Surveillance Unit working on Major and Organised Crime syndicates trafficking in narcotics and other serious criminal activities. Shaun thought he was living his dream with every night filled with excitement, violence and the opportunity to push himself to his limits and help others. He loved his career. But it did not last. After a period of time, he realised that he was unfulfilled and becoming more angry, reactive and violent. He was in weekly fist fights and was encountering more and more violent offenders. He actively sought out confrontations as he became more and more addicted to the adrenaline and the opportunity to prove he was tough and fearless as a way to try to manage the significant impact his career was having on him. Shaun left the Police when he was 31 and began a very dark time in his life. He had lost the career, his identity and felt like a failure. The violence and depravity he had seen human beings perpetrate against each other meant he lost all faith in humanity. He suffered Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, clinical depression, drank excessively, was very angry and came extremely close to suicide many times.  What followed was a 17-year journey of personal development courses, study, education, working with coaches and mentors and finding every piece of information possible on resilience, stress and leadership – with an end goal of healing himself and becoming an effective leader in his own life. He now devotes his life to helping others using the knowledge, education and experience that helped him help himself. While forging a successful corporate executive career after leaving the Police, Shaun developed and now continues to follow his passion for helping other people.Learn more about Shaun at stronglifeproject.com    Make sure you check out this episode on our website: www.violencepod.com    LISTEN ON APPLE PODCASTS: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/managing-violence-podcast/id1441934641?mt=2&uo=4   LISTEN ON GOOGLE PODCASTS: https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy83Y2NlMDAwL3BvZGNhc3QvcnNz     Thanks for listening.     Make sure to subscribe and leave us a review so you never miss future content.     Want to check out the bonus content for this episode and others? www.patreon.com/managingviolence     Check out our YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvJgyuUe-wxu-ii88QEc2Zg     Follow Joe on social media:   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/managingviolence Twitter: https://twitter.com/JoeSaundersAU LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joesaundersau/ TikTok: @managingviolence Instagram: @managingviolence

Enson Inoue is an MMA legend having fought in both PRIDE and the UFC against the toughest fighters in the world at their peak - fighters like Randy Couture, Frank Shamrock, Minotauro Nogueira, Igor Vovchanchyn, Mark Kerr, Heath Herring and more. Enson became famous for his philosophy of ”Yamato Damashii” (or Japanese soul). In this exclusive interview, Enson talks about his willingness to die in the ring, some of the craziness that his warrior spirit got him into outside of the ring, and his humanitarian efforts since retirement.

Rory Miller joins the elite club of three-time guests on the podcast and we couldn't be happier to have him back. In this interview, we dive into his most recent book - Living in the Deep Brain: Connecting with Your Intuition.

Tommy Joe Moore is the founder of Bartitsu Lab as well as a lifelong boxer, judoka and martial arts enthusiast with background in both combat sport and reality-based self-defence. In this conversation we talk about the European martial art of Bartitsu, made famous in the Sherlock Holmes novels, how a system that was only taught for 2 years is still fascinating practitioners 120 years later, and the application of bare-knuckle boxing in self-defence.

He's the grandfather of modern self-defence. A legendary martial artist whose journey of self-discovery and self-destruction on the doors of Coventry nightclubs was documented in the paradigm shifting memoir, Watch My Back. His breakthrough training methods such as Animal Day training changed the way self-defence was taught throughout the world in the 1990s. Since then, Geoff Thompson has written more than 45 books, stage plays, films, a musical and won a BAFTA. His martial arts journey has led to a profound spiritual journey, encompassed in his latest book, Notes From A Factory Floor.

You will be hard-pressed to find a martial artist with the depth and breadth of experience that Richard Norton possesses. After 55 years of continuous training, Richard combines practical experience working in bars and clubs in the 70's, bodyguarding the world's biggest celebrities through the 80's, starring in martial arts films with the likes of Chuck Norris and Jackie Chan, holding high dan-ranks in Zen Do Kai, Goju-ryu karate, Chun Kuk Do, and Brazilian JiuJitsu, and choreographing fights in some of the biggest Hollywood blockbusters in recent years.

Savannah Archambault is a self-defence instructor and founder of SAVage Hybrid Combat Systems based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Growing up in a military family, Savannah always had an urge to protect her community and be of service. She eventually found her calling after stumbling across the legendary Kevin Secours and becoming an instructor in his system of self-defence.  In this conversation we tackle some hard topics and provide a criminally under-represented view of what it's like to be a female in a combatives class, the motivations and mindset for women entering these classes, and the advantages and disadvantages of being a woman who wants to teach self-defence.  Savannah also shares openly about her experience of rape and sexual assault and the impact that has had on her and the way she teaches.  Make sure you check out this episode on our website: www.violencepod.com  LISTEN ON APPLE PODCASTS: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/managing-violence-podcast/id1441934641?mt=2&uo=4  LISTEN ON GOOGLE PODCASTS: https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy83Y2NlMDAwL3BvZGNhc3QvcnNz Thanks for listening.  Make sure to subscribe and leave us a review so you never miss future content.  Want to check out the bonus content for this episode and others? www.patreon.com/managingviolence  Check out our YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvJgyuUe-wxu-ii88QEc2Zg  Follow Joe on social media:  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/managingviolence  Twitter: https://twitter.com/JoeSaundersAU  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joesaundersau/  TikTok: @managingviolence  Instagram: @managingviolence
