A fishing pole kept the garage from closing… and a stranger walked into the house at 5 a.m. What happened next became a brutal, real-life fight for survival. In this episode of Targeted, Atlas Aultman sits down in World War Studio with Brickman Allen—international speaker, author, and creator of the #LiveOutside method—to unpack the home invasion that left Brick stabbed multiple times, fighting to protect his wife and unborn child. We go deep on: The moment the attack started (and why “comfort” can be dangerous) What adrenaline really does: slow motion, tunnel vision, decision-making The “cowboy protector” identity and how childhood built real-world resilience Depression, suicidal ideation, and the mirror-talk challenge that changed everything Why kids today aren’t “weaker”—they’re often not allowed to prove strength Social media, AI, and modern protection: “it used to be fists… now it’s the keyboard” Turning trauma into post-traumatic gains—and why Brick teaches this to teens worldwide If you’re building mental toughness, leading a family, or trying to become the kind of person who stays calm in the storm—this one will hit.

Ben Owen is an author, serial entrepreneur, and nonprofit founder of We Fight Monsters + Black Rifle Co—and an addict/alcoholic in recovery who turned rock bottom into a mission: doing good things in bad places. In this episode of Targeted Podcast, Atlas Aultman sits down with Ben in Atlanta to talk about the moment he knew he had to change or die, how he rebuilt his life, and how purpose can disrupt cycles of addiction, violence, and generational poverty. Ben also breaks down his upcoming book “Politically Homeless”—why America is trapped in a two-choice system, how outrage media fuels division, and why real-world suffering exposes ideology fast. We get into AI-driven divisiveness, the bot problem, and how agentic AI can be used to find bad actors—while the same tools can also manipulate online discourse. This conversation goes deep on: Rock bottom as a “clean slate” and how ego keeps men stuck Recovery, accountability, and what addiction does to families Purpose, service, and rebuilding identity after failure Crime, prison incentives, alternative sentencing, and real rehabilitation Trafficking realities, community action, and why “real recognizes real” Building Owen Army to deploy help where it’s needed most Follow Ben Owen: We Fight Monsters: wefightmonsters.org Owen Army: owenarmy.com/join https://www.blackrifle.company/ Monsters Apparel: monstersapparel.com Socials YouTube: @monsterFighters (We Fight Monsters) Meta (Instagram / Facebook): @blackrifleco  https://www.linkedin.com/company/blackrifle-co Subscribe to Targeted and share this episode with a man who needs a reset.

Meet Erik Audé - stuntman, actor, bestselling author, they've made a documentary about parts of his life that have entertained the masses - now listen to him on Targeted. We talk about his time on-sets of some of the biggest films you have heard of and seen, his time being wrongfully imprisoned in a foreign death row (Pakistan) then returning to his work in films only to find out that some of his co-workers in the industry were celebrating the murd*r of his friend, Charlie K. This is the absolute "let's talk about what is happening in the world" conversation from the perspective of a man who has lived life, mastered it, and now has decided to stick up for a community that is trying to be silenced for viewpoints that are not wrong, just counter to others. In the United States, freedom of speech is supposed to be free - listen to Erik as he talks about supporters and those he now represents while he asks for one thing - the ability to no longer be chastised for being Americans, especially in America.
