To be human is to experience worry, fear, anxiety, and stress. To be human is to play-it-safe.

What if being exposed to those unusual situations are part of your day-to-day life? How do you handle those internal reactions when encountering life-threatening situations?

Today, I share a special interview with Lance Morrison, former Captain Police Officer.

Key Takeaways

You will hear different micro-skills Lance uses to handle life-threatening situations such as:

• Focusing on one thing at a time.

About Lance Morrison

Lance is a California native. He lives in the San Francisco Bay Area, and he is a life-long vegetarian. He grew up playing the horns in a variety of NorCal bands, and he had to learn guitars, keyboards and the bass just to eat.

His work is a collection of tunes he wrote that focus on a cruelty-free lifestyle. Lance plays all of the instruments you hear on his album (no computers–just a nice multi-track recorder).

Lance also wound up in law enforcement and retired as a Captain from a municipal police department. Additionally, he taught college courses for twenty years. He has always used his humor and his music to balance against the stressful and challenging aspects of law enforcement. That career spanned 42 years!
