Together, they discuss the psychology of self-defense, the importance of situational awareness, and how the world has changed since 2020.   This conversation goes far beyond physical defense — it’s about mindset, empowerment, and resilience in a world that often feels uncertain.   Connect with Tony: https://www.linkedin.com/in/therealtonycohen/   Connect with Michael: Website: https://www.michaeldostrolenk.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mostrolenk Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelostrolenkresiliencemastery   🎧 Key Takeaways: Self-defense is as much mental as it is physical.
