IAN STRIMBECK | PILLARS OF STRENGTH

Published: Aug. 19, 2020, 10:31 a.m.

Ian Strimbeck is the owner and founder of Runenation and he is focused on building confidence in others through varies concepts of self-defence. Ian is a former United States Marine who spent time overseas in combat environments.

After leaving the military in 2010, he went on to use his GI Bill to obtain a Bachelors in Communication in 2014. During that same time frame, he worked for an executive protection firm in the greater Boston, Massachusetts area protecting international dignitaries, VIP’s, and celebrities.

Ian left his corporate job in 2017 to travel full-time across the US spreading his knowledge to US citizens, LEO’s, and active military members.

He is also a father to three boys who are not biologically his own and spend week on/week off with their Biological father, and we delve into how putting aside ego among other things contributes to making this work and collaborating to raise kids right. 

During a wide-ranging discussion, the focus is on being the best man you can be so that you are a pillar of strength to those around you, whether playing a part in raising someone else’s kids, raising your own kids or whatever capacity you impact children's lives.

This was such a deep, candid and challenging conversation for me, I hope you feel the same way about it.
