    Master the Art of Managing Violence: Christopher Thompson on Self-Defense, Survival & Dragonfly Academy

    Christopher ThompsonInstructor Thompson of Dragonfly academy of integrated defensive arts and My self defense studio.. Salutatuons! I'm instructor Thompson, a firearms instructor, range safety officer, certified firearms specialists ( allows me to testify in court on firearms and ammunition) and a martial arts instructor. I have twenty seven years in as a teacher, and a practitioner of 31 in Ed Parkers Kenpo.To keep it brief in 2014 a student of mine was brutally, murdered with a knife. He wasn't just a student. He was a family friend and ever since and for more than a decade, I have been studying, creating and building solutions that were not generally known and much of which wasn't even publicly available. As a student first I started cross training in everything I could possibly find. Looking for a solution to how to stop a knife attack. At the time I thought I knew, I was wrong! I promised his parents who were friends of mine that I would always keep his name alive in the bravery of his actions trying to stop someone who just and took the life of his best friend in front of him. I went to Kali, Muay Thai and firerarms. I've spent every day since studying in practicing on how to survive a stabbing event. I run a couple of companies and with my business partner. Those words, " a stabbing event" belong to my colleague Michael. His own experiences were similar to mine, and what he says is, knife defense doesn't exist. There's simply surviving a stabbing event! We created Dragonfly academy of integrated defensive arts. Specializing in managing violence, and specifically on a mission to help serve marginalized communities like LGBTQ+, indigenous and native population, and groups that face targeted acts of violence. We built this to help save lives, because self defenses is for everyone! But not everyone has equal access, our mission is to help those who really need it survive! Our mission is for those groups but our work is for everyone. We want to help as many people as we can and ensure they understand what survival looks like across the spectrum. Because violence and self defense training are not one thing, they're both many things!

    Abstrac Essay, now in its sixth season, welcomes Sarah Turner, founder and CEO of CeraThrive, as our featured guest. This compelling conversation explores wellness technology, entrepreneurship, innovation, personal growth, and Sarah’s journey in buil

    Sarah TurnerBrain Red Light Expert Sarah is the founder and CEO of CeraThrive, with a science background and a focused interest in how light influences biology, particularly circadian rhythms, mitochondrial function, and brain health.Her perspective is shaped not only by research, but by hands-on experience, including involvement in clinical trials in neurodegeneration, where she saw first-hand the impact that targeted light therapies can have.What makes her valuable to podcast audiences is her ability to connect that science with real-world application. Rather than presenting health as a set of complex protocols, she explores how modern environments, especially disrupted light exposure, are quietly affecting energy, sleep, and long-term resilience.She also speaks to the idea of agency in wellness and ageing, drawing on both personal experience and ongoing research, and challenging the assumption that decline is inevitable.

    Abstract Essay in its sixth season, features Ingeborg Mooiweer is an executive coach with 35 years of experience as my guest.

    Ingeborg Mooiweer Successful in business. But Love hurts? Ingeborg Mooiweer is an executive coach with 35 years of experience helping high-achieving executives break the patterns that make them brilliant at work and struggling at home. She helps executives who have built everything they wanted, except a love life that works. I grew up with a narcissistic mother. I didn't have language for it then, I just knew that love felt conditional, that being enough meant being safe, and that I learned to read rooms before I learned to trust people.That pattern followed me into my career. And into my marriage.I became exceptional at work. I built a practice, helped organisations, and earned the trust of C-suite executives across the world. Professionally, everything looked right.But in the span of two and a half years, I lost seven people who mattered most to me. Grief upon grief, with no room to breathe. Those losses cracked something open  and confirmed what I had been seeing for 35 years in my work: the patterns we develop in childhood to survive become the patterns that silently erode our closest relationships as adults.I call them survival codes. For most high-achieving executives, one of three codes is running the show right now  and they have no idea.

    Abstract Essay, now in its sixth season, welcomes Thomas Addison—an accomplished AI strategist and serial entrepreneur as my special guest.

    Thomas Addison Not Just Talk! I have been there. Business Consulting Services for Growth Certified Exit Planning Advisor (CEPA), and Duke MBA Thomas Addison is an exit planning advisor, AI strategist, and serial business owner who has been on every side of the transaction table. He lost $1.55M on a business re-entry that looked right on paper — then used what he learned to acquire a garage door company, make money and sell it, execute a 2x exit on a sandwich franchise, and build a federal contracting company with a GSA Schedule and SDVOSB designation. The loss wasn't the end. It was the education that made everything else possible.Today Thomas holds the CEPA certification from the Exit Planning Institute, a Duke MBA, and a CISSP, and owns a commercial PCB repair company that runs without him — because he built it that way deliberately. He works with business owners $2M+ in enterprise value to close the operational and technology gaps suppressing their valuation before a sale, using AI tools he has built and deployed in live businesses. He speaks on exit readiness, the real cost of owner dependency, and how AI is changing what buyers actually pay for.
