Listen "Moments 09: Why you should unplug from Social Media & The News! It's all FAKE!"
Episode Synopsis
Pat “Tmac” McNamara, joins Louis Skupien for episode 100 of the Talk4 Podcast! What did we explore in this episode? Tmac was Louis’ first ever podcast guest on Talk4, let’s explore what has happened with Tmac since then!
In this episode, we discussed what has happened in the last 840 days after our first episode, learning and applying lessons from the Special Forces to daily life, optimising daily planning and goal setting, optimising daily consistency, censorship on social media today and how to detox, and finally the hilarious story of what happened before our first podcast episode 840 days ago! This is a nostalgic episode, with great actionable advice for all.
👉🏻 Who Is Tmac?
Patrick McNamara spent 22 years in the United States Army in a myriad of special operations units. When he worked in the premier special missions unit, he became an impeccable marksman, shooting with accurate, lethal results and tactical effectiveness.
McNamara has trained tactical applications of shooting to people of all levels of marksmanship, from varsity level soldiers, and police officers who work the streets to civilians with little to no time behind the trigger.
His military experience quickly taught him that there is more to tactical marksmanship than merely squeezing the trigger. Utilising his years of experience, McNamara developed a training methodology that is safe, effective, and combat relevant and encourages a continuous thought process. This methodology teaches how to maintain safety at all times and choose targets that force accountability, as well as provides courses covering several categories, including individual, collective, online, and standards.
While serving as his Unit's Marksmanship NCO, he developed his own marksmanship club with NRA, CMP, and USPSA affiliations. Mac ran monthly IPSC matches and ran semi annual military marksmanship championships to encourage marksmanship fundamentals and competitiveness throughout the Army.
He retired from the Army's premier hostage rescue unit as a Sergeant Major and is the author of T.A.P.S. (Tactical Application of Practical Shooting) and Sentinel.
