On this episode of the Love Conquers Podcast, Kaz and Matt tackle a deeply concerning issue that has recently been on the rise in Australia: the alarming uptick in spousal abuse and knife violence. As these troubling trends continue to make headlines, Kaz and Matt explore the devastating impact these forms of violence have on individuals, families, and society at large. They discuss not only the emotional and psychological toll of such violence but also the real-life consequences that affect the safety and well-being of families across the nation.
Kazz and Matt also share an insightful conversation with Jerry Wetzel, the CEO of Red Zone Threat Management, a globally recognized expert in personal threat assessment and self-defense. Jerry has spent years developing cutting-edge methods for understanding, avoiding, and neutralizing personal threats, and his approach has been internationally acclaimed for its practicality and effectiveness in real-world scenarios.
During their sit-down with Jerry, one message came through loud and clear: the importance of developing skills in threat recognition and personal protection, not just for oneself but to ensure the safety of loved ones. As Kaz and Matt reflect on their conversation with Jerry, they discuss how personal security and self-defense knowledge are critical in today’s world, where incidents of domestic abuse and knife violence are becoming more frequent and more severe.
Kaz and Matt emphasize the need for individuals and families to take proactive steps in learning how to assess and avoid dangerous situations, sharing key insights from Jerry’s methods. They discuss how Red Zone Threat Management teaches practical techniques that can be used by everyday people, regardless of fitness level or experience, to effectively protect themselves and their families in times of crisis.
Each episode unpacks a relationships issue or life lesson that Matt & Kaz have had to learn.
