On this After Dark episode of the Iron Sights Podcast, I’m joined once again by my good friend, Mark Smith of JBS Training Group. This is the third time we’ve sat down together, and each conversation seems to hit a little different.
We dig into the importance of mindset—for both students and instructors—and how shifting it can drastically improve performance. Mark also breaks down strategies for aligning training with results, as well as when equipment really matters for shooting performance and how to know if it’s worth the investment.
Beyond the technical talk, we also dive into the value of having honest, meaningful conversations—with your peers, your students, and even yourself. Mark has a gift for delivering insight that’s both practical and thought-provoking, and that’s why these episodes always get so much positive feedback.
