I Didn’t Buy A Surfboard

This week on The Secure Family Podcast, Andy is joined by a guest who doesn’t need much introduction Patrick McNamara. You might know him from his no-nonsense training videos, his books on personal defense, or his wildly insightful show for kids, Mr. Mustavio’s World of Wonder. 
 
 But behind the tactical training and the larger-than-life personality is a man who genuinely wants to help families stay safe and raise capable, confident kids.
 
 Mac and Andy dive into some real talk about the mindset of preparedness, how we influence the next generation, and what it means to live with intention. If you’re a parent who wants to raise street-smart, mentally strong kids, this one’s for you.
 
 Listen now to hear why Mr. Mustavio is more than a character and how Mac’s mindset can help your family live stronger and safer every day.
