This week I'm joined by author and trainer Lt. Col. Dave Grossman, who shared about the effects of violence in our society and the psychology of killing. This fascinating discussion makes for quite a heavy episode, but the information is so important. We dive into why we do certain things and how we can move, through understanding the darkness, into the light.
