A fishing pole kept the garage from closing… and a stranger walked into the house at 5 a.m. What happened next became a brutal, real-life fight for survival.
In this episode of Targeted, Atlas Aultman sits down in World War Studio with Brickman Allen—international speaker, author, and creator of the #LiveOutside method—to unpack the home invasion that left Brick stabbed multiple times, fighting to protect his wife and unborn child.
We go deep on:
The moment the attack started (and why “comfort” can be dangerous)
What adrenaline really does: slow motion, tunnel vision, decision-making
The “cowboy protector” identity and how childhood built real-world resilience
Depression, suicidal ideation, and the mirror-talk challenge that changed everything
Why kids today aren’t “weaker”—they’re often not allowed to prove strength
Social media, AI, and modern protection: “it used to be fists… now it’s the keyboard”
Turning trauma into post-traumatic gains—and why Brick teaches this to teens worldwide
If you’re building mental toughness, leading a family, or trying to become the kind of person who stays calm in the storm—this one will hit.
