Straight Talk - Mind and Muscle Podcast

Well, this was a big one!! The power couple of the United States Special Forces.Tom spent 20 years in The US Military and service in SFOD Delta ( known as Delta Force) and has gone from fighting in the Battle Of Mogadishu  ( where the movie Blackhawk Down came from) to helping people fight their inner demons alongside his wife Jen at allsecurefoundation.org .This was an amazing show talking about the journey from post traumatic stress to Post Traumatic Growth, and it was phenomenal to hear Tom and Jen’s personal story as to how their relationship started.We spoke about the book “The Body Keeps the Score” finding your tribe and leaning on them,  and how to heal on the homefront. Tom and Jen hold 4 day Special Forces veterans couple’s retreats, which is absolutely brilliant because the secondary effect of post traumatic stress on the spouse or partner can be crippling to a relationship, and as humans are such social beings, we simply do not heal in isolation.
 One of the most eye opening moments of the show was Tom speaking about his greatest healing moment and I won’t spoil it for you, but it brought out his compassion and empathy to a level he had not known he was capable of before.Overall this was a fun, rare and enlightening talk with 2 powerful and successful individuals who are truly on this planet to help others.You can find them at www.allsecurefoundation.orgAll Secure Foundationhttp://facebook.com/AllSecureFoundation/Instagram: allsecurefoundationVirago (For Warrior Spouses) Instagram: virago_allsecurefoundationhttp://facebook.com/viragowarriors

Once again, I have the honour to interview one of the best humans in the world at what they do and Sean Grogan is most definitely one of them. After a long career as a a former special investigations detective, he began teaching classes including ‘Unmasking Hidden Facial Expressions’ & ‘Body Language for Law Enforcement’ making him a human lie detector and teaching other good people the skills he has eve gone on to write a book about.

Detecting deception is his skillset and this is something that we can all learn from, because as he speaks about in  the show- “pre fight cues” or the actions that EVERY human does before they attack you- it can literally save your life before things get out of hand. His book “BEWARE THE BODY” ( print and audiobook) Link here- https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09SBYC5MB/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1644951170&sr=1-1  is all about this exact skill and I am excited to listen to it. 
Sean has also been certified as a trainer for the Body Language Institute in Alexandria, Virginia.Recognising Sean’s skill set, he was recruited by and worked for Joe Navarro’s Body Language Academy as a mentor for the Body Language Expert Program. The role of mentor has allowed him to spread his knowledge to people around the world including 4 different continents. Traveling throughout the United States since 2019, Sean provides training to law enforcement on non-verbal communication, giving detectives, officers, investigators, and agents the advanced skills that can be used in a variety of settings. He has received a very large amount of positive feedback from many that have taken his courses.  His book, Beware the Body, gives insight into aggression and aggression detection utilizing body language.

A true officer and a gentleman it was a pleasure to speak with Sean and you will love this show on so many levels.

Dallas Alexander - Finding Your Flow State- , former JTF 2 and world record sniper shot holder Dallas Alexander - Finding Your Flow State- , former JTF 2 and world record sniper shot holder, and now singer songwriter music maker. I'm throwing this one out quickly. Team, so that you are listening live right now and get a chance to get to see Dallas Alexander live at his shows.

 Jump on the website, dallas alexander.ca. Check out the show notes for his link tree, all the awesome things he's got going on on YouTube, apple Music, Spotify, and Patreon. 

 We had an amazing chat about his world record Sniper Shot 3,540 meters long, as a team and the truth behind that shot.

We talked about a range of things -we even crowdsourced some questions about selection, Canadian Coffee, advice for people going into the Special Forces.  We talked about his brother and the inspiration that started  him to begin writing songs.  We talked about psilocybin and how that helped him and helped him gain the tools there to close the loop- It was like he literally said it was night and day, and his magical substance. So that was really interesting.We

 talked about his daily routine and as I said at the start of this, his latest gigs and  the Horseshoe Tavern is, is one of those ones that's really coming up. 

So buckle up-  it's down and dirty. 

A a nice short show with an amazing individual. 

And of course now,  I don't know if it's infamous or world famous of why he was essentially kicked out of the Premiere Counter Terrace unit of Canada,.

Buddha Heart, Devil’s Hand- The difference between Special Forces and Normal Humans Gregg PUP Johnsonhttp://pakari.nz/Welcome to the sequel!! After such a popular show the first time around, it was a necessity to have Pup back on to share his knowledge, in order to help others.We spoke about a wide range of subjects, so strap in!Starting with the difference between an SF Operator mindset -where they make life and death decisions and movements multiple times every single day vs a regular cop or civilian who may never be faced with such an inhuman choice - we progressed to how Pakari is helping the NZ Army develop it’s people’s resilience and mindsets.We talked about transition ( from military and/or sporting worlds) and the effects of Purpose, Belonging and Identity.A life of service changes a person, and shapes his/her mind and it’s imperative to realise this going forward so we can grow and flourish afterwards.Again, sit back and enjoy a truly open and honest conversation with a NZSAS (New Zealand Special Air Service) Regiment Operator, Instructor and leader in teaching through Mother Nature.

ASHLEIGH GASS A CANADIAN IN FLORIDA-MERGING GYMNASTICS STRENGTH TRAINING (Calisthenics)  WITH TRADITIONAL STRENGTH TRAINING NUTRITION/MOBILITY/STRETCHING/MOVEMENT/STRENGTH/www.movegst.comFirstly let me apologise for the very inconsiderate Australian wildlife you will hear in the show- bloody crows and kookaburras!! But I digress- on with the show!Ashleigh Gass- owner of movegst.com, based in Florida, successfully grew her business during the dark ages of 2020-2022 and I was intrigued to find out exactly how she did it. 

The answer lay in three words- EVOLVE, GROW & DISOBEY.

 The lockdown saw the team launch online in 2020, at a time much like Body Synergy gym in NZ Dunedin did, and stayed ahead of the curve.We spoke about former Olympic Coach Christopher Sommer’s programming and how it saved her body post neural surgery and  by simply following the process from baby beginner steps to where she is now- it works.Ash has adapted the exercise programming  at movegst.com to combine GYMNASTICS WITH TRADITIONAL STRENGTH TRAINING like kettlebells, dumbbells etc. And they achieve phenomenally surprising fat loss with teaching NUTRITION/MOBILITY/STRETCHING/MOVEMENT/STRENGTH.We talked about the similarities of our processes with clients using empowering nutrition, trusting the programming and not being too tied to the process of weight loss, to achieve great success for the people who are ready to learn.Experts like Professor Andre Huberman, Dr Peter Attia, Robb Wolff came up in our  discussion, and it was great to share the synergies in what we learn, teach and use in our daily lives.Ashleigh Gass is an underrated understated wealth of knowledge, and I am sure you will love watching her videos on Insta at @ashleighrgass  https://www.instagram.com/ashleighrgass/   and on Facebook at Ashleigh Gass, CSCS  https://www.facebook.com/ashleigh.gassYou can find Ashleigh at @move_training_calisthenics  https://www.instagram.com/move_training_calisthenics/ & @ashleighrgassI am Damian Porter , Former NZ Special Forces Operator, Subject Matter Expert from www.hownottodie.com.au and you can listen to my STRAIGHT TALK MIND AND MUSCLE PODCAST sponsored by www.realketonesaustralia.com  - the best and most effective ketone supplement on the market to reduce anxiety, enhance brain performance and supply twice as much energy as glucose.

Through the 2020-2022 era Rebecca and her US Marine Corps husband created www.semperstronger.com and now has 16 Signature Programs online and has now created a whole Cadre of excellent coaches for the company.What I love about watching Rebecca’s content is that she walks her talk and unlike so many (both males and females) is not there to flaunt her body shape but to teach and show her knowledge and experience to others.We talked about a multitude of things from Sleep, Nutrition and Hydration to Cold Water Immersion, Coffee, Recovery and Preventive Rehab.We even talked about such human experts like Christian Thibadeau, DrAndrew Huberman, Jocko Willink and Dr Kirk Parsley that we have both learned such wisdom from.A true expert in her field, it was a pleasure to speak with a likeminded athlete who is as passionate about her learning as I am.

The True story of Dre Baldwin, combining the story of Tom Cruise’s character Jerry Maguire and Mark Wahlberg’s character in the movie INVINCIBLE. It was an absolute honour to speak with Dre, and he is the ONLY PERSON IN 5 years of the show who has ever sent me a PERSONAL VIDEO INVITATION - Mind blowing.

 Dre is  one of the pioneers of an online business, and has literally created a bootstrap business.
From having to sell himself to over 60 sports agents, to being picked up in his first professional basketball team, to having to repitch himself every single year to renew his contract with each team.

 He now brings this to the business world, and wow- he is good!

His insights near the end of the show was mind-blowing.You may have an Idea, you may have marketing, but WITHOUT AN EXCHANGE OF MONEY, you don’t have a business!! Know what your audience needs and giving it to them, inspired his first ever EBOOK and it still sells today.

A truly inspirational story in the vein of movies like “The pursuit of happiness”, “Billy Elliott, and the true story of Brian Henessy - it’s hard to fathom that we are listening to the true story of this man’s journey. You will love it!

PART 2Hold on tight, because this one goes DEEP AF! It was an absolute honour to speak with Nick, and to hear him so openly share his story about being in the Chennai 6 - British soldiers falsely imprisoned for 6 years - and his road to recovery after being released.Author of the book- Surviving Hell - he openly states in this show that the 1 person who saved his life was his sister. And it’s because of his friends and family that he is alive today, no longer suicidal and on recovery journey from such an inhumane period if his life.The prison scarred him, this is clear to hear and see in Nick’s emotional words and language, however he is rekindling his pride and preciousness of life and I am proud to bring his experience to you all.Joining the British Army was a calling for him, and now after the depths of being weak, broken, and ashamed he is using his grit, drive and determination to claw his way back to a new chapter of his life, one with hope.Watching a strong man share his rollercoaster journey with such openness can help us all to learn, and grow and I can tell you I came away from this one with goosebumps and thankfulness.
“The Chennai Six were all British former soldiers travelling on an anti-piracy ship, the MV Seaman Guard Ohio. They were there to protect vessels against Somali pirates but their real enemy turned out to be the Indian authorities who trapped them for years in a legal nightmare.The men were falsely charged with intruding in Indian waters and the possession of illegal weapons. Nick lost four years of his life in India, the bulk of it in appalling conditions at Chennai prison. Despite this, he refused to buckle and now he tells his full, inspiring story for the first time.”
