'Thanks to the Army, I got to go back to MIT and earn two master’s degrees and a PhD.
 Understanding Bipolar Disorder Through the Lens of Major General Gregg Martin:
    Jul 2 2024
    Understanding Bipolar Disorder Through the Lens of Major General Gregg Martin: In this episode I interviewed a distinguished military leader with a compelling story of resilience and advocacy. Our conversation delved into Greg's journey with bipolar disorder, his mission to destigmatize mental health issues, and the lessons he has learned along the way. 

Gregg's Mission and Purpose: Gregg's mission is to share his bipolar story to help stop the stigma, promote recovery, and save lives. He emphasised that this has become his full-time occupation, and he finds great fulfilment in it. 

Here are key takeaways from the episode: Pursue continuous learning and balance professional responsibilities with academic pursuits. Recognise the symptoms of bipolar disorder and seek early intervention. Share your story and support mental health advocacy efforts. Prioritise self-care and consult healthcare professionals for medication management. Acknowledge the impact of trauma on mental health and support veteran mental health initiatives. Communicate openly and show empathy in rebuilding relationships affected by mental health issues. By implementing these insights and recommendations, we can contribute to a more informed and supportive community for those affected by bipolar disorder and other mental health challenges. Understanding Bipolar Disorder: Gregg provided a comprehensive explanation of bipolar disorder, a mood disorder that affects the brain. It causes individuals to experience periods of mania and depression. Managing Bipolar Disorder Gregg highlighted the importance of lifestyle changes in managing bipolar disorder. He mentioned that getting enough sleep and not taking the job too seriously could have slowed down the progression of his condition. The Role of Medication: Gregg shared his positive experience with lithium, a medication that stabilised his brain chemistry and alleviated his symptoms of depression. The Impact of Military Service on Mental Health and The Triggering Event” Greg recounted the pivotal event during his service in Iraq in 2003, which he believes triggered his bipolar disorder. The combination of pressure, thrill, euphoria, and stress during this period activated his bipolar gene. The Prevalence of Mental Health Issues Among Veterans: The conversation also touched on the high prevalence of bipolar disorder and other mental health issues among veterans. Greg noted that while 3-4% of the general population has bipolar disorder, the rate is significantly higher among veterans. Rebuilding Relationships Greg shared how he rebuilt his relationship with his spouse after going through a difficult period of mental health challenges. He emphasized the importance of communication, empathy, and mutual support in rebuilding their relationship. This episode offers valuable insights into the complexities of bipolar disorder, the importance of mental health advocacy, and the impact of military service on mental health. Greg's story is a powerful reminder of the resilience of the human spirit and the importance of seeking help and supporting others. Whether you're a military veteran, a mental health advocate, or someone seeking to understand more about bipolar disorder, Greg's story provides valuable lessons and inspiration.

    PAUL BAXENDALE Training with DORIAN YATES- The Most Inspiring Journey of Resilience and Self-Discovery After The Accident.
    Jun 3 2024

    PAUL BAXENDALE
    Training with DORIAN YATES- The Most Inspiring Journey of Resilience and Self-Discovery After The Accident.


    
I've just wrapped up an incredibly powerful conversation with none other than Paul Baxendale, a former bodybuilder turned life coach,- former Training Partner of 6 x Mr Olympia Dorian Yates and I can’t wait for you to listen- for me it was one of the most powerful shows to date.


    🏋️‍♂️ From Muscle to Mindset: Paul opened up about his journey from the competitive world of bodybuilding, training alongside legends like Dorian Yates, to the values that underpin the fitness community. Trust, honor, and integrity aren't just buzzwords; they're the foundation of a supportive gym culture.


    💪 Resilience in the Face of Adversity: Paul's life took an unexpected turn after a severe life changing- disabling injury, leading him down a path of soul-searching. He shared how philosophy and literature, including works like "Meditations" by Marcus Aurelius, helped him rediscover his purpose and resilience.



    🌑 **Overcoming the Darkness**: In a raw and vulnerable account, Paul recounted the darkest times of his life, grappling with the specter of suicide and the depths of depression. It was through sheer will, the support of loved ones, and a newfound understanding of mental health that he dragged himself out of that darkness, emerging with a renewed passion for life and a commitment to help others facing similar battles.


    🤝 The Power of Connection: We delved into the importance of community and the rare, deep connections that sustain us through life's toughest challenges. Paul's story is a testament to the strength we find in each other and the transformative power of reaching out for support.


    🌟 A New Chapter as a Life Coach: Paul's transition to life coaching is driven by a desire to help others find their purpose. He's not about cookie-cutter programs; he's all about authentic, one-on-one coaching that's as real as it gets.


    🗣️ An Open Invitation: In a heartfelt moment, Paul extended an offer to our listeners. If you're struggling or need someone to talk to, he's here. It's not about business; it's about being part of a community that cares.


    I'm still buzzing from the raw honesty and profound insights Paul shared. If you're looking for a dose of motivation or a reminder of what's truly important in life, tune in to this latest episode. You won't regret it.


    And remember, if Paul's words struck a chord with you, reach out. He's made it clear he's here for you, and so am I. Let's keep building this tribe together.

He shared his unique perspective on achievements and how resilience and continuous growth are the real badges of honour. 💡 The Pursuit of Excellence Andy debunked some common myths about special forces, emphasising that it's not all about physical prowess. Instead, adaptability and mental resilience are the true cornerstones of success in the face of adversity. 👨‍👧‍👦 Parenting and Pushing Limits We also touched on the importance of teaching resilience to our kids and the transformative power of stepping out of our comfort zones. It's about embracing hardship as a pathway to growth. 🌍 Teamwork and Sacrifice The 777 expedition was a testament to the power of teamwork and the practical challenges of pursuing such a monumental goal. Andy's candid recount of the logistical hurdles they faced was a lesson in determination. 🔫 A Soldier's Tale Andy opened up about a harrowing experience of being shot during a mission in Iraq, offering a raw and honest account of the incident and his road to recovery. It's a story of vulnerability and the strength found in breaking down goals into manageable steps. 🧠 Mental Health and Authenticity We didn't shy away from tough topics, discussing the curated facades on social media and the importance of authenticity. I shared my skepticism about certain public figures and the need for transparency and honesty. 📚 Controversy and Community The conversation took a turn as we addressed some controversies within the special forces community, exploring the impact of scrutiny and the response to ethical breaches. It's a reminder that accountability and integrity are paramount. 🎙️ Connecting and Conversing Finally, we celebrated the power of the internet to connect us with our heroes and the positive impact of authentic conversations.

  • Matt Thomas, 
“Unveiling the Truth: A Deputy Sheriff’s Unfiltered Perspective“

    Matt Thomas, 
“Unveiling the Truth: A Deputy Sheriff’s Unfiltered Perspective“
    May 16 2024

    🚨 Law Enforcement and Border Realities 🚨
    I had the honor of chatting with Matt Thomas, a deputy sheriff author and speaker- who’s not only protecting our streets but also penning down his experiences. We dove deep into the heart of law enforcement, border patrol operations, and the pressing issues at our southern border. Matt's firsthand insights into the control exerted by cartels and the complexities of immigration will leave you with a new perspective on the news headlines.

    🇺🇸 Constitutional Rights and Government 🇺🇸
    Our conversation took a turn into the foundations of our nation as we explored the constitutional rights that govern us. Matt's passion for the constitution and its role in ensuring the government remains by the people, for the people, is both enlightening and inspiring. Plus, I shared a little story about a woman's fight for her rights in New Zealand that proves one person really can make a difference.

    👮‍♂️ The Journey of a Law Enforcement Officer 👮‍♂️
    Matt didn't hold back on sharing his personal journey through various roles in law enforcement, from detention officer to SWAT team member. His story is a testament to the dedication and sacrifice our officers make, and it challenges the misconceptions around movements like "defund the police."

    🧠 Mental Health and Inner Strength 🧠
    We also touched on something deeply personal – the importance of mental health, especially in high-stress jobs like law enforcement. Matt's candid discussion about his own experiences with faith, counseling, and even ketamine treatment opens up a much-needed dialogue on the subject.
