| 10/16/26 | #217 After Dark: Guild Solutions Group Live: Breaching, Barricades, and the Brotherhood Behind the Work | This one's with the full Guild Solutions Group crew, including founder Shane Foster, Director of Training Jason "Jabo" Long, lead instructors Matt Petaki and Jeremy Nash, and Pryme Infil CEO Jarred Pereira. The conversation goes everywhere it should. You will hear how Jarred Pereira built Pryme Infil out of a 65-page PowerPoint written at 2 a.m. on FMLA leave after surviving a federal deposition he was never prepared for, and why documentation is now the front line of officer protection. You... | 1h 57m 25s | ||||||
| 10/9/26 | #216 After Dark: How Kim Pastore Built the Jorge Pastore Foundation From Grief Into a National Training Movement for Law Enforcement | You don't have to wear a badge to fight for the people who do. Kim Pastore, founder of the Jorge Pastore Foundation, lost her husband Jorge, an Austin PD SWAT officer, in the line of duty in 2023. What she built in the aftermath, in a remarkably short amount of time and entirely from the outside looking in, is one of the most honest, boots-on-the-ground efforts to close the training gap facing law enforcement in this country. This conversation is long overdue, and it goes deep. Kim and I tra... | 1h 57m 58s | ||||||
| 10/2/26 | #215 After Dark: Sean Bonilla on Building Predictability, Leading from the Front, and Cleaning Up Your House Before You Call in a Third Party | I sat down with Sean Bonilla, founder of Ready and Able Defense and a law enforcement officer who came up through the fight world, and we dig into a question that doesn't get asked enough: are you even cleaning up your house before you try to fix it? Sean lays out a framework that cuts through the noise, starting with the one thing competitive fighting taught him that most cops never get: frequency of consequence. When you fight, you feel the cost of skipping training. In law enforcement, yo... | 2h 35m 34s | ||||||
| 9/25/26 | #214 After Dark: How Austin PD SWAT Built a Team That Measures Everything, Argues About Nothing, and Keeps Getting Better With Ryan Nichols | Ryan Nichols doesn't talk about what his team used to do. He talks about what they're doing right now, why they do it that way, and exactly how they got there. That's rare. I sat down with the Austin PD SWAT team leader after months of back channel conversations, TTPOA matches, and a long overdue calendar alignment, and the result is one of the best practitioner conversations yet. You'll hear how a 21-officer full-time team turned a reserves program into a defined developmental pipeline, bui... | 2h 24m 10s | ||||||
| 9/18/26 | #213 After Dark: From SMU to Law Enforcement Training: Zack Harrison on Building Real Capability | This time I sit down with Zack Harrison, founder of Ascension Training and Consulting, and the conversation goes exactly where you'd hope: deep, honest, and unfiltered. Zack's name had been popping up for years across ranges and in conversations with law enforcement officers, always attached to the same kind of feedback. This guy cares. He slows down and makes sure you understand the why. Zack walks through the whole arc: growing up, the call of service after 9/11, navigating the 18 X-ray pi... | 2h 13m 35s | ||||||
| 9/11/26 | #212 After Dark: The No-Knock Debate: NTOA, Dynamic Entry, and The Conversation You Haven't Heard | Join the waitlist: https://thecapablestandard.com/waitlist I sat down with four veteran tactical professionals at the National Tactical Officers Association Conference in Nashville to have the conversation that needed to happen two days after that 2022 NTOA position paper on no-knock warrant service dropped. At the table: Steve Mescan, Director of Training and Education for the NTOA and a 27-year Pittsburgh Bureau of Police SWAT veteran. Chris Eklund, NTOA senior instructor and retired trai... | 2h 34m 01s | ||||||
