If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you’ve probably seen me mention Mike Pannone. He’s the owner of CTT Solutions and a very experienced individual. I first met him almost 5 years ago, right after I returned from Iraq, and he was about to teach a designated marksman course. Since that time, we’ve encountered each other at the range quite frequently, and he’s taken time out of his day to help me polish my skills with carbines and pistols on numerous occasions – rather generous, considering that he’s in high demand as an instructor.
In fact, a few days ago, I met with a group of highly professional individuals who have been paid to attend courses taught by various instructors, and those courses taught by Mike Pannone were literally the standard by which the other instructors and courses were judged.
I made a short video promoting Mike and his company. Because it’s a bit more advertising-oriented than my normal videos, I’ll just be putting it on the blog, the readers of which I have found to be more professional, experienced, and reasonable than the general audience found on YouTube. If you’d be turned off by a bit of a “sales pitch,” I won’t be offended if you skip the video – but if you get the chance to take a course taught by Mike, you’ll find that the info in the “sales pitch” is more of an understatement than an embellishment.
Hey! I’m in the commercial! Well, at least my lower half is.
Training with Mike is an amazing learning experience. He’s also probably one of the most badass and down to earth dudes you’ll meet.
I didn’t find the video offensive at all in fact it seems rather toned down compared to other promo videos out there. Nice work.
I can’t imagine how anyone could be offended, the video was well done and presents the case quite well, but man, you have no future in voice over work. Unless of course it’s for the government.
Such a big meanie! 😉 I have been planning to work on the way I sound.
You’ve changed, man. You’ve sold out. You used to be cool, now it’s all “buy this, buy that, I’m a huge whore”.
Seriously though, good video as always. How I love a man that doesn’t reach for the superlatives and the typical marketing loudness (no homo).
