Teaching isn’t just explaining — it's building something from the ground up. Remo and Chris break down what makes an effective instructor by examining military pedagogy: explanation, demonstration, imitation, and progressive practice.

They explore how proper instruction is built on a backbone of structure, like weapon drills, and then layered with critical thinking, real-time adaptation, and deep subject understanding. The episode discusses how many instructors fail because they skip steps, don’t know the material, or only repeat theory without practice.

Whether in the military, business, or civilian training, this episode offers timeless insights into how we learn — and why the way we’re taught matters as much as what we’re taught.Quotes from the Episode“A bad demonstration will be copied more than your best explanation.” — Chris→ Highlights the critical importance of leading by example.“You’re not an instructor just because you’ve heard the theory — you become one when you’ve practiced, demonstrated, and earned the right to speak.” — Remo→ Sums up the true path to credibility as a leader or teacher.“Teaching isn’t just explaining — it’s building something from the ground up.” — Chris→ Defines real instruction at its core.“Freedom is the price of Discipline.
