- How AI is transforming the decision-making process
- Turning enormous amounts of data into usable intelligence
- Predictive analytics and identifying problems before they occur
- Where artificial intelligence outperforms traditional analysis
- Why human judgment still matters in an AI-driven world
- Using technology to improve speed, accuracy, and situational awareness
- The dangers of bad data and misplaced confidence in technology

15 JUN. 2026 · What if one of the greatest threats to your safety isn't a lack of awareness—but the false belief that you're paying attention? In this episode of the American Warrior Show, Rich Brown sits down with cognitive scientist Dr. Paul Atchley to explore the science of attention, perception, and human performance. For decades, Dr. Atchley has studied how people process information, how distraction impacts performance, and why our brains often fail to detect important details even when they appear to be in plain sight. His work has influenced conversations surrounding driving safety, human attention, decision-making, and risk assessment. Dr. Atchley has been conducting research and teaching about cognitive factors related to hazard perception and inattention for over 30 years. He is currently on faculty at the University of South Florida. Dr. Atchley received his Ph.D. from the University of California, Riverside in 1996 and completed postdoctoral training at the Beckman Institute at the University of Illinois in 1998. Dr. Atchley has published numerous peer-reviewed articles and chapters on issues of vision and attention. He has also received awards for his research, teaching, service and student advising. Dr. Atchley's work has been highlighted by national and international press such as the BBC, NPR, and the New York Times. During this conversation, Rich and Dr. Atchley discuss: • The science of situational awareness
• Why people miss obvious threats and critical information
• Attention, distraction, and performance under stress
• Human perception and its limitations
• Decision-making in dynamic environments
• What instructors, law enforcement officers, and armed citizens can learn from cognitive science
• Practical ways to improve awareness and performance Whether you're a competitor, instructor, law enforcement officer, military professional, or armed citizen, this episode provides valuable insights into how your brain works - and how understanding those limitations can make you safer and more effective. Enjoy the show.

25 MAR. 2026 · Today's Featured Sponsor: https://werkz.com In this episode, Rich Brown sits down with John Hearn of Two Pillars Training to break down what the data actually tells us about defensive gunfights—and how most training completely misses the mark. John has built a reputation for digging into real-world incidents, analyzing patterns, and applying that information to how we should actually train. From distances and timing to decision-making under pressure, this conversation challenges assumptions and replaces them with reality. They dive into what the numbers reveal about how fights really unfold, where traditional training falls short, and how armed citizens can better prepare for the moments that matter most.

In 2021, John founded Two Pillars Training and began to offer unique curriculum focusing on decision making while shooting in addition to classic skills with pistol and carbine. Besides hands-on shooting classes, John has presentations focusing on the data side of the self-defense world. His interests include human performance under life and death stress, historic gunfights, crime data, and criminal typologies.

21 MAR. 2026 · Show featured Sponsor: https://tiptopk9franchising.com In this episode, Rich Brown sits down with returning guest Simon Golob for a raw and timely discussion on recent events shaping the security landscape—centered on the terrorist attack at Old Dominion. This isn't a distant, overseas incident. It's a reminder that violence can surface anywhere, at any time—and often where people feel safest. Rich and Simon break down what happened, what we know so far, and—more importantly—what it means for the everyday armed citizen. What you'll hear in this episode:
- A breakdown of the Old Dominion attack and key takeaways
- How modern threats are evolving—and why they're getting harder to predict
- The mindset gap: why most people are still unprepared for sudden violence
- Awareness failures and environmental blind spots in public spaces
- Where armed citizens fit—and where they don't—in events like this

This episode isn't about fear—it's about clarity. Because the question isn't if violence exists.
The question is whether you're prepared when it finds you. If you want, I can also:
- Add a hard-hitting intro script for Rich (30–45 sec opener)
- Pull training tie-ins for P247 / Defender content
- Or build a social clip package (hooks, captions, reels) from this episode
Just say the word.

3 FEB. 2026 · Show featured sponsor: https://www.precisionholsters.com/american-warrior-society-shooting-performance/. Check out the new Vanquish! In this episode of the American Warrior Show, Rich Brown sits down with TC Fuller for a deep, uncomfortable, and necessary conversation about obedience, authority, and moral responsibility. Using Stanley Milgram's famous obedience experiments and Christopher Browning's book Ordinary Men, Rich and TC break down how average, everyday people—not monsters—can be led to commit acts they never believed themselves capable of. This episode explores:
- Why people obey authority even when it violates their moral compass
- How peer pressure and normalization override conscience
- The concept of the "agentic state" and why responsibility gets outsourced
- Why "just following orders" is one of the most dangerous phrases in history
- What warriors, leaders, instructors, and armed citizens must do to resist blind compliance
This isn't a history lesson—it's a warning. For warriors, protectors, and leaders, the takeaway is clear:
Character, moral courage, and independent thinking must be trained—deliberately—or they will fail under pressure. If you carry responsibility—for a weapon, a badge, a team, or a family—this episode will challenge how you think about obedience, leadership, and your own decision-making under authority.
