#149 After Dark - In The Studio With Matt Pranka & Mike Pannone

Welcome back to the Iron Sights Podcast! This episode is a special one. A week before recording, I got a call from Mike Pannone of CTT Solutions. He let me know that he and Matt Pranka of Xray Alpha would be local and teaching a course together. Somehow, we managed to get both of these legendary figures in the studio at the same time, making this episode truly unique.

Mike and Matt are known for their fiery opinions and deep expertise, and they didn’t disappoint. We dive into a variety of training-specific topics, including insights into law enforcement, the impact of social media on the industry, and even Matt’s brief departure from Instagram, a hot topic that many have been curious about.

Enjoy the show!
