    Introduction to Behind the Holster – A Concealed Coalition Podcast
    Jan 14 2026

    Welcome to the very first episode of Behind the Holster, a podcast dedicated to practical firearm training, concealed carry, and responsible gun ownership – without the politics.

    In this inaugural episode, host Jody Picou, a 13-year veteran in the firearm training industry, is joined by Concealed Coalition leaders Matt Wheeler and Yates Crawford to explain the purpose of the podcast and who it’s designed for. Together they draw from years of real-world safety training and experience educating tens of thousands of students to discuss who firearm ownership, gun safety, and personal protection should be approached in a practical, responsible, and approachable way.

    You’ll hear conversations around:

    • Everyday concealed carry questions and where new gun owners should start
    • The role of situational awareness and mindset in effective self-defense
    • Why fear-based narratives can hurt responsible firearm ownership
    • What truly matters when it comes to safety and preparedness

    Behind the Holster is educational, approachable, and judgment-free – focused on protection, not politics. Whether you’re brand new to firearms or have years of experience carrying, this podcast is here to help you better understand gun safety, personal protection, and the responsibilities that come with owning and carrying a firearm.

    New episodes will continue to dive deeper into training topics, legal basics, listener questions, and real-world stories from instructors nationwide.
