YOU ARE NOT BROKEN, YOU ARE UNHEARD, WITH DR. FRED MOSS

What if healing without a diagnosis is not just possible, but the most natural thing in the world?

Dr. Fred Moss spent more than four decades inside the mental health system as a board-certified psychiatrist, treating over 30,000 patients. Then he asked a different question: not what is wrong with this person, but what actually heals a human being.

His answer challenges almost everything the mental health system is built on. The real problem is not a chemical imbalance. It is not a diagnosis. It is disconnection. When someone is not being heard, not being seen for who they truly are, no medication in the world addresses that. But genuine human connection does. Every single time.

In 2006, Dr. Moss began taking low-risk patients off their medications with their permission. Almost all of them healed profoundly, often losing the very diagnosis that had justified the medication in the first place. That experience changed everything.

In this conversation, you will hear:

- Why healing without medication is possible for far more people than the system admits

- How psychiatric diagnosis is fundamentally different from every other medical field

- What Dr. Moss discovered when he took patients off their medications

- Why men block emotional expression rather than feel things more deeply

- What healthy reinvention looks like when AI is reshaping entire industries

- Why gratitude practiced out loud every morning changes everything

Dr. Moss is the author of Creative Eight: Healing Through Creativity and Self-Expression, Find Your True Voice, and his forthcoming memoir Welcome to Humanity: A Psychiatrist's Case Against the Mental Health System, arriving July 2026. He is the creator of the Welcome to Humanity movement and is known to many simply as the indoctor.

What is the difference between having money saved and actually having income you can depend on in retirement? For most people, nobody has ever answered that question clearly.

Mark Kollar has spent 35 years answering it. He started his career on the floor of the Chicago Board of Trade watching first-hand how markets can be manipulated and how quickly a lifetime of savings can disappear when someone does not know what they do not know. The experience that drove all of it started much earlier, in second grade, when he watched bad advice, failed estate planning, and a devastating health event strip his father of everything he had built.

In this episode, Mark and Dwight cover:

- Why accumulation and income distribution are completely different retirement disciplines

- The red money versus green money framework and how to think about risk at different life stages

- The four tax baskets and why how you draw down your savings is as important as how much you saved

- Black swan events, excess fees, ego, and the emotional decisions that quietly derail well-funded retirements

- What a fiduciary standard means versus a suitability standard, and why it matters who you choose

- Why the wealthiest clients Mark works with all share one habit: multiple advisors

Mark is the owner of Kollar Wealth Advisors, a registered investment advisory firm, a certified senior advisor, a certified estate planning professional, and the author of The Retirement Navigator. He has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, Forbes, CNBC, the Washington Post, and Fox Business.

Jim Tracy grew up as the sixth of eight kids in rural South Dakota, where thirteen people waited at the dinner table until his father came home, and summers meant fishing and hunting at a cabin with no running water. He became a CEO, jet pilot, Wireless History Foundation Hall of Fame inductee, and the author of the Amazon number one bestselling book Building Men: Character Lessons from Influencers. Not because of advantages. Because of the people who poured into him and refused to let him quit.

In this conversation with Dwight Heck, Jim traces the full arc of a life built on character. From a grandfather who took chickens as payment during the Depression, to starting a telecom company from a garage with his son. Burning through his entire 401k on the first bid, to learning to fly jets at 62. To top it all, he wrote a book where every chapter is named after a person rather than a principle.

IN THIS EPISODE:

✅ How rural roots and a grandfather's unwavering character built the foundation of everything

✅ How Jim started Legacy Telecommunications in a garage and burned his 401k on the first bid

✅ What the Culture Revival Blueprint is and why every business needs one

✅ Why handwritten birthday cards were the most important thing Jim did as a CEO

✅ What it took to learn to fly jets at 62

✅ How tenacity is a superpower that only comes from muscle memory

✅ What building men of character actually requires

Give A Heck | Helping People Live Life on Purpose and Not by Accident

Most people spend their entire lives trying to fix, change, and improve themselves into something better. Derek Rydall nearly died before he discovered the flaw in that approach. Everything you are looking for is already inside you. The only question is whether you are willing to let it emerge.

In this first of two conversations, Dwight Heck and bestselling author Derek Rydall explore the Law of Emergence, the principle behind Derek's work and his case for why the Law of Attraction, as most people practice it is built on the wrong foundation entirely. Derek survived a near-death experience in a coral reef off Jamaica, lost his son, had his fortune stolen, and came through all of it more alive than before.

Part 2 is coming soon and goes deep into Derek's new book A Whole New Human: 10 Ways We Must Evolve to Survive and Thrive in the AI Age, published February 2025.

IN THIS EPISODE:

✅ What the Law of Emergence is and how it differs from the Law of Attraction

✅ Why trying to fix and improve yourself may be keeping you stuck

✅ How a near-death experience became the turning point of Derek's life

✅ What the acorn teaches us about human potential and purpose

✅ Why painful conditions may be activating what was always inside you

✅ How losing his son put a fire in Derek that changed everything he teaches

✅ A preview of A Whole New Human and the identity crisis of the AI age

AI is not a technology problem. It is a human problem. And organizations rushing past that truth are already paying the price in burnout, disengagement, and talent they will never get back.

In Part 2, Dwight Heck and leadership strategist Sira Laurel go deep on what AI adoption is really doing to the people inside your organization. Stalled adoption, cultural fracture, and mass disengagement are not technology failures. They are human transformation failures that no training program can fix.

If you have not listened to Part 1 yet, start there first. This episode builds directly on that foundation.Part 1: https://giveaheck.com/podcast-detail/why-leadership-burns-out-high-performers-sira-laurel/

IN THIS EPISODE:✅ Why AI adoption is failing inside most organizations right now✅ How identity threat is the real barrier to change, not training✅ What psychological safety actually requires a leader to do✅ Why organizations are living systems, not machines✅ What self-trust has to do with becoming the leader you are designed to be✅ Why staying human is the most strategic competitive advantage available

In this episode, Sira Laurel explains why leadership burnout is rising among high performers and highly sensitive professionals.

Expect insight on:
• Leadership burnout and system failure
• Highly sensitive and high-performing individuals

• Nervous system awareness and sustainable performance
• How leadership must evolve in a changing world

This is not theory—this is real-world experience and practical perspective.

🎧 Listen now and rethink what leadership and performance should actually look like.

What does it actually take to create permanent change in your life?

In this powerful episode of the Give A Heck Podcast, Dwight Heck sits down with Stanley Bronstein, a man who transformed his life by losing over 200 pounds naturally without surgery or medication. But this conversation goes far beyond weight loss.

Stanley shares the defining moment that forced him to face the truth about his future and ask a simple but life changing question — are you willing?

Through decades of struggle, emotional eating, and temporary fixes, he discovered that real transformation does not come from motivation or quick solutions. It comes from discipline, consistent action, and a mindset rooted in long term thinking.

You will hear how Stanley rebuilt his life through simple but powerful habits, why most people fail when trying to change, and how his system, The Way of Excellence, can help you simplify the process of creating a life of purpose and intention.

This episode is not just about health. It is about ownership, responsibility, and becoming the person you are capable of becoming.

If you are tired of starting over, this conversation will challenge how you think and how you act.

• Why temporary changes always lead back to old results
• The mindset shift required for lasting transformation
• Why discipline is more important than motivation
• How small daily habits create massive long term outcomes
• The power of asking yourself — are you willing
