  • Excellent show

    Intelligent and informative information on the state of health care in the US. I knew things were not right in the early 2000’s, but COVID really opened my eyes to the deception of western medicine and the government agencies. I look to my own health now and I listen to this podcast for some alternative information for my health.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Overcoming Tourette’s syndrome to help others with their mind, body, and spiritual walk
Q: What role has your faith played in both your recovery from Tourette's and your work with clients?
Faith serves as a central source of strength and motivation, guiding compassion and resilience. It helped the guest re-center during COVID, deepen his relationship with Christ, and inform his approach to coaching and personal growth, while acknowledging that spirituality is individual and not tied to formal church participation.
The psychology of killing and its hidden costs
Q: How do your books and teachings translate to everyday safety in schools and families?
By teaching practical steps—from access control and law enforcement presence to mindset and debriefing after events—to help people move from fear to preparedness and growth.
The psychology of killing and its hidden costs
Q: Colonel, why do you do this work? What motivates you to train and speak about active shooters and safety?
Motivation comes from a sense of vocation, faith, family, and a commitment to prepare people to protect themselves and others, with a focus on post-traumatic growth through forewarning, preparation, and debriefing.
The state of psychoanalysis today
Q: What is your book about?
The Fog of War explores narcissism, how narcissists manipulate others, and how victims can emerge stronger; it emphasizes reclaiming sovereignty and transforming suffering into purpose.
The state of psychoanalysis today
Q: How do you approach therapy remotely versus in person?
She describes flexible remote work, but emphasizes the importance of face-to-face contact for certain clinical cues and the ongoing value of in-person sessions while acknowledging remote work expanded access.
