Costly Conversations with Armed Atlas: Recent Episodes

Armed Atlas

Welcome to the Costly Conversations Podcast. This is a place where we can talk about difficult or taboo subjects that we encounter in society. No group or topic is safe from scrutiny as we explore, race, religion, pop culture, civil rights and other topics that may trigger you. Let's cook up some perspective and challenge old ideas. My hope is that we can take what we learn and improve our lives, our family, our community & culture. Are you with me?

I was doing an Ask Me anything Live stream on the Costly Conversations YouTube channel and my guy Daryle Rostic showed up so I invited him to join the stream and share what he's been doing since we last talked. We talked about everything from building a 308 in honor of his murndered brother, getting talked out of avenging his brothers death, our feelings on Colion Noir not speaking up for Black-centric Social Justice issues, can a creator stay objective while getting expensive free product and the truth about how he runs the small arms company.

Jordan is an award-winning journalist alum of University of Wisconsin, an active duty infantryman with over 10 years of service, and Jack of all trades with more than one full passport. Jordan and I talk about the war and some of his memories in Afghanistan, but we also talk about his transition out into the reserves, his time in university, as part of a radio show and how his family might have saved him from crippling PTSD. We also mourn the loss of so many of his fellow soldiers to suicide and some of the realities of losing hope.

What changed after Pulse Night Club? Today we are talking with Jordan of A Better Way 2a. Here's a little bit about him: My name is Jordan Levine and I'm the owner and founder of A Better Way 2A. I'm a husband, father, and career firefighter. I started ABW2A unofficially after the Pulse Nightclub Shooting when a gay couple reached out to me to teach them how to shoot. They expressed concerns about the gun community that I had never been aware of before, so I decided to center the company around the belief that gun rights are for everyone - regardless of what makes us different - and go from there. ABW2A is a small family-run business and I handle most physical aspects of the business like fulfilling orders, design, and social media while my wife helps a ton by caring for our daughter when I'm working, and all of the support that comes with me essentially working second full-time job and going to events around the country for it.

This conversation is with Tre of the NIGF pod. I reached out to him after hearing his most recent episode 'the return'. I was moved by his vulnerability around his recent depression, losing a loved tone to addiction & OD and sabotaging a relationship in the midst of his mental health battle. All this while serving in Law Enforcement and seeing other officers around him fall to substance abuse. This conversation serves as additional commentary and a deeper dive into episode, but also stands on its own. Thank you for tuning in & Keep it Costly

Phil Smith comes on the show to talk about NAAGA, recent legislation that impacts his members and potentially forming an PAC that operates independently from NAAGA.

This is a long form virtual follow up to that conversation to my recent chat we shared from USCCA Expo. We recorded this Conversation on Youtube LIVE as a special event under the Armed Atlas Channel. Future conversations will be LIVE on the Costly Conversations Podcast channel and we'll make space for a 15-30 minute audience Q&A at the end of each conversation. The Q&A can be found on the YouTube version and you can participate if you join us LIVE.

I do need to apologize for my audio levels being noticeably lower than my guest. We will be making a simple fix to resolve that issue going forward. Thank you for being so supportive for these past 2 years.

Here's a little bit about Sean: His path began in law enforcement where he worked in SWAT, investigations, leadership, SVU, and firearms instruction. After 22.5 years in, he ended his sentence early for good behavior.

Rhonda Mary is a 2a Advocate and Social Commentator and Free Thinker.

We talk about events in her life that motivated her to arm herself and become and 2a advocate. We also discuss arming women, the lesser known racist history of gun control and how it's evolved over the years to impact us today.

We address her controversial stances that may cause some to see her as a conspiracy theorist.

We get to touch on serious social issues including racism in America, and a few concepts she promotes such as "entertainers are not leaders" and being "anti-statist".

I had a fantastic conversation with firearms instructor, 2a Advocate, Tangy from Tactical Tangerine Defense.

We discuss her path into the world of self defense, her history in the legislative process, and all the dark and/or controversial side of being a black woman in the 2a world.

Do men take her seriously? How does she dress comfortably while toting a full size gun? How does she feel about the tragedies in the black community and how does navigate that with her public platform?

We get into all that and more while cooking up some spicy perspective. Get it while it's hot.
