Straight Talk - Mind and Muscle Podcast

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.

Chris is a work in progress. And that compass's progress is in the right direction after a lot of setbacks and detours.Part of his mission now is to reduce the stigma of getting help for PTS, PTSD, Mental Health and preventing Veteran Suicide- much like a former guest Erick Miyares is working towards.

We spoke very openly about many chapters of his life, from joining the Military, to Selection, To the Unit, Transition to civilian life with TBI, PTSD, Depression, Sleep Disorders, and chemical dependency. Having navigated both traditional and nontraditional paths to recovery, Chris is an advocate for veteran mental health and wellness, veterans helping veterans, and finding ways to recover using the healing properties of outdoor pursuits.

I loved hearing Chris speak about routine, exercise, nutrition and outdoors being the keys to his recovery and  we had a great chat about CURING INSOMNIA and fixing sleep routine so he could climb out the that dark, overwhelming place so many of us know of, or know others are in or have been.Christopher VanSant is a retired 20+ year Special Operations Veteran. Mr. VanSant’s service includes time in the 75th Ranger Regiment, 3rd Infantry Division, the 82nd Airborne Division, and 11 combat deployments as both a Team Member and Team Leader in 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta (Delta Force).

Tyr is a US manufacturer of Body Armor, Ballistic Shields, Tactical Nylon products, Clothing, and K9 equipment.In 2022, Chris moved on from Tyr Tactical to start his own consulting company -VanSant, LLC . Having spent nearly 27 years as an end user, combat developer, and manufacturer of combat equipment, he Utilizes that experience to provide Defense related businesses with product development, business development, and government acquisition consultation. Chris’s career as a consultant allows him to maintain a healthy work life balance, pursue his passions, and support various veteran charitable endeavors.Overcoming many obstacles and sustaining numerous injuries throughout his military career, Chris’s biggest challenge was overcoming his aforementioned hurdles. He and his wife Robin (His “Life Team Mate” ) support various veteran charitable causes and it was an absolute pleasure speaking with him and bringing this amazing story to you, the listener.You can find Chris on Insta at cvansant123@instagramAt his consulting company VanSant, LLC And you can find out more about the All Secure Foundation, http://www.allsecurefoundation.org I 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.”

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
