Malissa K. Misch is a professional safety instructor and entrepreneur who helps people take responsibility for their own safety and protection. She founded MK Protection Strategies to share the mindset and practices that give her confidence in the face of potential threats—from situational awareness and mental preparation to physical training, responsible tool use, and violence prevention habits.

Too often, people don’t know how they would respond in a dangerous situation. Malissa is changing that by promoting a practical lifestyle of readiness and prevention. Her training helps individuals, families, schools, and organizations build everyday habits that reduce risk and increase confidence.

In addition to her own instruction, Malissa collaborates with other respected experts in personal safety to provide well-rounded, high-quality training. Her sessions are grounded, approachable, and designed to promote lasting change. She also brings a sense of fun to her trainings and takes pride in helping others grow stronger, safer, and more prepared.

 

Jim Counsellor, accompanied by his son, Bryce, went on an Honor Flight to Washington, DC, where he saw the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. He took the opportunity to literally reflect upon his service, and his brothers in arms who never made it home. 

 

The memorial includes the names of over 58,000 servicemen and women who gave their lives in service in the Vietnam conflict. The memorial includes the Vietnam Veterans Memorial wall, the Three Servicemen statue and the Vietnam Women's Memorial.
