Well here we are, kicking off the new year a little bit late, but with a much needed review of what the podcast is all about.  Going back and reflecting on the podcast and its data, I found that the very slow paced Podcast #1 was where newcomers went to first.  The last thing I want is people to suffer a snooze fest...  SO,  in today's podcast, I have officially condensed Podcast #1, review the podcast's mission, and discuss what things will look like moving forward... Let's talk!

Topics:

• This years theme:  I don't know SH1T, but let's talk about it anyway...
• Group Talk.
• Condensed Podcast Mission Statement and why CVP is here <3
• New things to expect going forward.
• Getting involved!!!

You may be surprised to hear from me that you don't always need to win win win all the time. resist the urge to quarrel, to always get the last word in, and refocus your efforts toward  not worldly issues, but what is the bigger picture.  In order to do so we need to remain students to life itself.  But how do we execute on that when we live in a land full of masters, self-help gurus, where everyone is a "coach" now?  Let's talk...

Topics:

• You don't always have to win!
• Purpose by Existing.
• Forgiveness is 95% of solving a problem.
• What are you carrying with you all the time?
• Human are meant to Intervene, Engage, and Make Difference.
• Laws of reality and changing the course of events.
• Repairing the Heart.
• Too many masters, not enough students...
• Killing an Ego.
• Humility.

Every day around the globe, people are going from what they deem to be normalcy, to baptism by fire, becoming a disabled person.  It turns out life gets more complicated and difficult than it does easier.  From what I can tell, a large lot of these human beings are being abused, stolen from, expected to settle for lesser paths in life, and then, forgotten about. 

In a world where money is worth more than people, where does this leave the disabled person?  Let's call this out for what it is...

Topics:

• No more holding back!
• Behind the scenes of the podcast, there is a raging war.
• When you get your a$$ kicked...
• Medication withdrawals & Brain Zaps.
• Sick and tired of being sick and tired.
• Compartment Syndrome test day.
• Temporarily Resigning.
• Forgive yourself.
• The bare minimum.
• Survival is the righteous choice.
• The wise person...
• The "Disabled Lie"
• When we don't fit in...
• Money > People.
• False promises about ease of life transition.
• Abused, stolen from and forgotten.
• Some disabled people are NOT protected by laws.
• Evil people.
• Play your hand.

Today, you'll find NOTHING about chronic ailments, pain, mental health, life or philosophy...  And because of Covid-19, many people are finding themselves staying indoors and not partaking in trick or treating or any festivities...  So with that said, my brilliant wife had an idea, the CVP Halloween Spooktacular!

In this episode, you'll find a night full of shenanigans with my easily scared wife Stephanie, where we drink tea, swear, tell spooky stories and try to scare each other all for your enjoyment!

Happy Halloween!

Feeling lost?  Having another setback? Maybe some doubts?  I find myself identifying contradictions within advice almost every day and it's easy to get hung up on them.  But what blocks action, advances action.  What stands in the way, becomes the way. Your path is already laid out for you.  And what does philosophy have to do with all this anyway?  How about virtues?  I'm glad you asked.  Let's talk...

Topics

• What stands in the way, becomes the way.
• The art of turning obstacles upside down.
• Our advantage of adapting.
• Identifying virtues.
• Philosophy is the missing element to a better life.
• Philosophy goes unnoticed.
• Philosophy should not be pleasurable.
• Healing hurts.
• We have choice.
• A rare breed of people.
• You are not so different from your heroes.
• Happiness is a choice within the dirtiness and suck of life.
• What if the bad thing wasn't so bad? No, seriously..
• Invisible enemy.
• Attitude & approach are it.
• The goal of philosophy is to strengthen.
• Contradictions everywhere!  The right answer? It depends...
• Being able to adapt is crucial to living better!

This episode concludes my conversation with Brandon Lingle, who embodies the mindset, the honesty and the fighting spirit that the podcast attempts to share with  everyone.  Brandon has been through a lot.  Whether he likes it or not, he's a real life superhero and I thank him for his service and courage to be open about the realities he faces.

I met Brandon Lingle back in 2009 when I had to do a ride-along with a police department.  When talking about my future career, he was the first person to tell me "when" and not "if".  He had a rough upbringing and joined the US Army at age 17.  After being deployed to Baghdad, Iraq and experiencing war, he's currently a father of two and a police Sergeant.  Brandon will be featured in the next three podcasts because there's much to cover.  We can all learn something from this man and his motivating attitude.  Let's talk...

Topics:

• We have a problem and it's name is Suicide.
• PTSD:  There's a cost.
• True growth.
• God put you where you are for a reason.
• Working in the schools.
• You have two choices in life...
• The seeds you sow.
• The reason for everything...
• "Because I can handle it".
• My heart and mind will carry me when my legs are too weak.
• The need for warriors and straight up savages.
• Where is your attention at???
• Opportunity knocks.
• You will never get better if you are constantly afraid of being viewed as weak.
• Why hide it all?
• Be honest with it all.

Brandon, thank you for being open and honest with everyone and for being a part of this fight we all share.  It means the world.  Stay safe out there brother.
