MARCUS TORGERSON    - Warrior Shepherd, Author, Speaker

I’m thrilled to share the incredible insights from our latest episode featuring the amazing Marcus Torgerson. 
If you’ve ever wondered how to overcome fear, build self-worth, and develop a mindset that deters potential attackers, this episode is a must-listen. 


Marcus is a self-defense expert who empowers individuals affected by violence. 
He brings over 45 years of experience in martial arts and self-defense, and his wisdom is both practical and empowering. 

BUT - he advocates for practical self-defense techniques over traditional martial arts.

The discussion covers societal conditioning, especially women's responses to threats, the psychological aspects of violence, and the responsibilities of carrying weapons for self-defense. Marcus underscores the necessity of training and preparation to handle real-life confrontations effectively, promoting a proactive approach to personal safety.

Here are the key takeaways from our conversation:

Overcoming Fear: 
Building Self-Worth: 

Practical Self-Defense: Marcus advocates for simple, replicable movements that anyone can learn, focusing on mindset and physicality rather than traditional martial arts.

Societal Conditioning: We discuss how societal norms, especially for women, often discourage self-defense. 

Mindset Over Techniques:

Responsibilities of Carrying Weapons: If you choose to carry a weapon, regular training and understanding the legal and emotional consequences are essential.

Mother’s Instinct: Marcus uses the analogy of a mother protecting her child to illustrate the innate strength we all possess.

Violence as a Tool: He explains that violence itself is neutral; it’s the intent behind it that matters. Good people can and should use violence to protect themselves and others when necessary.

Domestic vs. Predatory Violence: Marcus distinguishes between different types of violence and stresses that domestic violence can affect anyone, regardless of gender.

Marcus’s passion for helping others and his unique perspective on violence and self-worth will leave you feeling inspired and ready to take action.


Tune in to this powerful episode and discover how you can transform your mindset and take control of your safety and self-worth. Let’s empower ourselves and each other to face life’s challenges with confidence and resilience.
Stay safe and stay strong!
