The Distinguished Savage Podcast

Walt Settlemyrewww.spreaker.com
The Distinguished Savage Podcast is about a very simplistic idea. Dress like you mean business. No matter what that business may be. In this podcast I seek to learn about those people who carry themselves as a breed apart from both a male and female perspective in regards to clothing, self defense, EDC, firearms, training, and their story.No couture or runways here! I want to talk to those who understand that the world can be a very dangerous place and how they go about facing that uncertainty and the story behind their choices! The motto of the The Distinguished Savage is Define, Defend, Defy. I am looking for those individuals who live that philosophy by defining their life, defending that which they hold dear, and defying any who would tread on their sense of self!
