EE 301: Chaos, Courage, Control with John Carughi

About this episode

Greg Anderson interviews John Carughi about his experiences and insights on courage and firearms training.

In Episode 301, I sit down with John Carughi, best known for disarming a suspect armed with a stolen police-issued AR-15 in downtown Seattle during the George Floyd riots, an incident captured on video by a local reporter. John is a former Marine and an exceptionally skilled firearms instructor specializing in rifle, pistol, and long-range shooting. We dive into stories from his background, mental health, hunting, and more. This conversation has been years in the making, and I'm glad we finally made it happen.
