Straight Talk - Mind and Muscle Podcast

Hold 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.”

I had a great sit down with Shaun Co-founder of STAIT and we talked about all things Body, Hormones, Beer, Gut Health and his chance meeting with a PhD Scientist whose expertise and research was in the field of the age related testosterone decline we currently see in the world, and what could be done to arrest this decline

. And with that- STAIT ( formerly BE SPUNKI) was born- for no other use than for Shaun to continue to improve his health, youth and manliness.

 Writing frantically as we spoke- I have 2 pages of show notes , but I honestly think you’re far better off without the spoiler alert, and just strap in and enjoy the knowledge bombs he drops on all things male and female hormones, history of health, and what STAIT is doing to reverse this- naturally by affecting Insulin, Cortisol and Sex Hormones. We spoke about former guests on the show- Hormone and Sleep Dr Kirk Parsley http://store.docparsley.com/?afmc=eatwellmovewell, PCOS warrior Maranda Ratcliff, and Gut and Hormone Practitioner Jess Wilson- www.jesswilson.com A truly inspirational guest, I am sure you will love what he has to share.

I had the pleasure of sitting down with the now world famous Clint Emerson-Retired 20-year Navy SEAL, who served with the elite DEVGRU and national government agencies. 

Clint is the only SEAL ever inducted into the International Spy Museum. Operating from the shadows, with an instinct for running towards trouble, his unique skill sets made him the perfect author and teacher for us all to learn from to survive. Author of the numerous books, Escape The Wolf, The RUGGED LIFE, 100 deadly skills: combat edition, The right kind of crazy, 100 Deadly Skills: Survival Edition, and many more ( especially if you speak German). 
Clint and I spoke about his latest project, driving 11,000 miles across the USA in 16 days and filming the top people in the country and the world in Self Defense, Weapons, Combat and Survival.
He has launched this all on video at - https://clintemerson.com/the-ready-room-safety-course/

We spoke about his fellow SAS Australia TV star and Double World Record Holder- Dean Stott ( https://www.deanstott.com/ )and Clint’s story about getting to Australia was Hilarious, and unbelievable unless you heard it from the man himself. 
His insights into “Transition “ for veterans were insightful, and very helpful for everyone.But what I found most interesting, aside fro the comedian and operator side, was his humility and lack of ego, which come from these rules he follows:“ALWAYS BE THE NEW GUY. I get asked often “how did you become an expert at so many skills?”Simple answer, I’m not an expert, no one is. But I am a lifelong “new guy”.As a new guy in the SEAL Teams, I was told 6 rules to follow for the rest of my career and if I followed them, I’d be good to go for life. 1. Always be early. 15 minutes early is considered “on time”. 2. Always stay late. There is always something to do that someone else didn’t do. 3. Keep your mouth shut. If you’re talking then you’re not learning. 4. Keep your ears open. Listen to the details - someone’s life could depend on it. 5. Volunteer for everything. It’s better than being volun-told. 6. You will never be an expert. But if you’re gonna try, be an expert student. “
Clint was awesome to finally chat with and very shortly after our interview this happened- more than 12 tornadoes hit where he lives!! https://www.accuweather.com/en/severe-weather/navy-seals-experience-helps-save-family-in-texas-tornado/1388090

Dan Cooper Masters in Sport Science, PHD Student, Former SASR- Do You Have The Resources Available To Solve The Problem In Front Of You?

Today I had the pleasure of sitting down with Dan Cooper- a Man of Extremes.So much so, that one of his spare time endeavours saw him single handedly walk 1000 miles across Alaska, on foot, pulling his pulk behind him. He is a 22 yr military veteran, 18 years of which was with SASR, Australia's tier one Special Forces Unit.He is also a Former Strength & Power Coach for the Queensland Reds Rugby Team, holds a Masters in Sport Science and is currently completing his PHD.Dan was open to sharing his knowledge gained from his studies, his Special Forces experience and his time contributing to the Human Performance Cell at SASR.He closely studies how people respond under fear, and his answers on this, and the psycho-biological model of fatigue will surprise and help you do better in any field.We spoke about females entering into Special Forces, Executive Performance, Toughness and Resilience, Stress Inoculation and Cognitive Perception.Dan stated that Sleep, Nutrition and Movement are the 3 keys to resilience and we spoke about teenagers being undernourished, sleep deprived and spending so much time on devices that de-evolution is occurring.One part I loved was when he spoke about “Away From” goals vs “Towards” goals.These are just a small part of an amazing conversation with a very educated man who really can walk his talk.You can find out more about Dan, his public speaking and how he is helping others at komanchi.com.au

It’s my pleasure to introduce you all to Heston Russell, a man on a mission now to use his expert problem solving skills in the service of others , and bring about balance , perspective and responsibility into Australian society and culture, now and into the future.
To action this, Heston has entered politics, supporting and improving Australian culture and bring back that National Spirit. 

In the middle of this endeavour, the ABC ( Australian government media) picked a fight with him and has been of late, incredibly underhanded.

Amidst false allegations to himself and the soldiers he led in battle, the experience of coming out as homosexual after many years denying his natural sexuality and facing competitive rather than collaborative veteran charity organisations, he remains positive, and altruistic in his political motivations.Heston has seen true evil in his wartime experiences, from fighting ISIS in Iraq and he speaks about the horror that the media simply does not report, that we as a public who sends our children to battle, should rightly know.You can find out much more about Heston and his competence and character at https://hestonrussell.com/And on Insta at https://www.instagram.com/hestonrussell/I am Damian Porter , Former Special Forces Operator, High Performance Living Coach from www.eatwellmovewell.net and you can listen to my STRAIGHT TALK MIND AND MUSCLE PODCAST sponsored by www.realketonesaustralia.comthe best and most effective ketone supplement on the market to reduce anxiety, enhance brain performance and supply twice as much energy as glucose.links for my former shows are here- YouTube- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpt-Zy1jciVn7cWB0B-y5WATyzrzfwucZ spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1rlAGRXCwLIJfQCQ5B3PYB?si=UmgsMBFkRfelCAm1E4Pd3Q Itunes - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/straight-talk-mind-and-muscle-podcast/id1315986446?mt=2 Google - https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cDovL2ZlZWRzLmxpYnN5bi5jb20vMTA5NDc4L3JzczI?ep=14 Amazon https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/5bce2d31-a171-4e83-bada-d1384c877e76

It was my pleasure to sit down with Josie Bulman of https://www.josiebulmanfitness.au/ today in her first ever interview! 
She is Authentic, Raw and Real and one of the best positive role models I have seen on social media for positive female Body Image. In her words- “Your body isn’t a trend, it is with you for life."
She achieves this through sharing her experiences and being super authentic, raw and real in her videos online.Josie is also an ambassador for Mobility Manual and she has personally inspired me to get mobile again into my 50’s.Josie battled an eating disorder that had its origins from as far back as 5 years old and from ages 13-20 years old surfaced fully and produced some dire health consequences.Osteoporosis, frequent fractures, amenorrhea ( not having a period) and immune system weaknesses were just some of what she went through.Her passion for helping others is clear and this came through in the first 5 minutes where she spoke about what she focuses on with clients, Longevity, Performance and Mental Health.Josie gave some eye opening revelations about language around children and the lasting effect it had on her.

I am sure you will find this a brutally honest and open conversation that can add another player of knowledge around eating disorders, body image and actions we can take to assist ourselves and others to heal and come back to a far healthier place.You can find Josie at https://www.josiebulmanfitness.au/

Welcome to a most refreshing conversation with a true Renaissance Warrior- Greg “PUP” Johnson.I became aware of Pup’s current endeavours through a post I quote in the show- “ 7 deployments with the SAS, 3 years as a security contractor in Iraq at the height of the sectarian violence, 2 years in Thailand during a military coup was all so easy compared to now trying to help people thrive. Its so hard trying to educate closed organisational minds. So much talk of He tangata he tangata he tangata. So much ✔️ box support. Have run 5 Pakari programs for 2/1RNZIR with amazing outcomes and not a single thank you, not a single returned email. “

and link to it is here- https://www.instagram.com/p/CjgkPtmvmRT/

So in order to facilitate a very open conversation in order to help our younger generation and to train our soldiers differently, we linked up and here it is!!

After joining the army at 17 and a lengthy career in the NZSAS and Tier 1 Military Contracting in Iraq, Pup eventually returned to NZ and after a conversation with the world’;s best multisport athlete, Nathan Fa'avae, started a new chapter of his life at Outward Bound.He is now a part of pakari.nz where he uses “Mother Nature” to teach, show and improve both toughness and resilience in both civilians and the soldiers in our New Zealand Military.

Pup has been a guest on Joe Hotai’s Epic Aotearoa https://www.epichpodcast.co.nz/ show this year and I am humbled that he is now appearing on here.

Like many SF Veterans, Pup is using his Special Forces Experience and Training to help others, and of all of these I think the words “ACTA NON VERBA” sums up the necessity of what he teaches (ACTIONS NOT WORDS). 
So many organisations these days- including the New Zealand Military simply pay Lip Service to “Mental Health” to “OHS” to “Self Care” and they lack the actions that are required to achieve an actual outcome. The outcome being a combat mindset, stress inoculation, toughness, resilience and performance.

 Our current society does not teach these to the degree that we learned, that our grandparents knew, and it’s not the current generation that is to blame, but Pup has taken up the mantle of RECOGNISING A PROBLEM, AND CREATING A SOLUTION.

A very open conversation with a Special Forces combat veteran, it was an honour to have Pup speak on the show and I am sure you will love listening to him as much as I did.I will leave you with Pup’s quote- “Nature heals, and Nature Doesn’t lie.”

After this I encourage you to get outside the front door , your car and just take a 2 min walk in our gorgeous world and heal. 
You can find Gregg at www.pakar.nz and on Insta at https://www.instagram.com/gregspartan/

DEAN STOTT Former Special Boat Service (SBS) Operator DOUBLE WORLD RECORD HOLDER, AUTHOR “You can argue with someone ‘til you’re blue in the face. Or you can just go do it and prove them wrong." “You can argue with someone ‘til you’re blue in the face. Or you can just go do it and prove them wrong. It is my pleasure to introduce to you Dean Stott - Former UK Special Forces (SBS), Adventurer, Double World Record Holder, Star of the TV show SAS Australia and Author of the Bestselling book, Relentless.

We talked about the support of his wife Alana, his team behind his successes and the transition from Special Forces soldier to the civilian world.Dean talked about how he met Prince Harry, and the support he got for the world record attempt to raise money for the charity Heads Together.With the most exciting start to ANY book I have ever read or heard his book Relentless is a phenomenal read. Dean epitomises the unrelenting pursuit of excellence and in. His words- “you cannot be experienced without experience “ 
Everybody has heard the SAS motto that who dares wins, but special forces warrior Dean Stott also lives his life by another powerful mantra - that of the relentless pursuit of excellence.In 16 years of service, Dean rose to the top of Britain's fighting force, taking part of some of the most daring and dangerous operations in the war on terror, and then in the private security force, where missions included him singlehandedly evacuating the Canadian Embassy in Libya.But then, following a horrific parachuting accident, Dean's dream career was cut short, and his ethos was put to its toughest test. Just like the day when Dean's dad said that he could never make it as a soldier, Dean's doctors told him that he would never again perform at the elite level.To put it mildly, Dean disagreed, but even those that knew him were staggered by the mission that he set himself - the man who didn't own a bike would cycle the Pan American Highway, a 14,000 mile route on the longest road in the world- that stretches from Argentina to Alaska, passing through some of the most dangerous countries on earth.A passionate mental health campaigner, Dean decided to up the stakes further by setting himself the task of raising a million pounds for charity.With two world records also in his sights, the stage was set for Dean to rediscover the tenacity, bravery, and downright doggedness that saw him rise to the top of the Special Forces.The final curveball arrived in the shape of a wedding invitation from his old friend Prince Harry - would he make it back in time for the royal wedding, or at all?Dean Stott is Relentless, and this is his story.
