  • Episode 21 Bullying part 2 -The Mindset of a Bully

    If you want to stop being a victim, you must understand the mindset of a bully.  I threw myself at this as hard as I could, even doing some acting in this episode.  This is everything I've learned about the bully mindset - motivations, creation, tactics and vulnerabilities.  This is required listening for anyone dealing with bullying, which is just about everyone in some capacity.  If it's not you, it could be your child or friend.  This may be a very difficult episode to get through, but study it.  This is important information and I'm asking you to share this episode and podcast with people you care about.

  • Episode 20 Bullying part 1 -Definitions, Types, Facts, and Self Esteem

    We explore why people bully others, and get bullied by others.  Episode 20 is part 1 of 6 in the Bullying series dealing with the following:  What are the types of bullying?  What are the facts parents and students need to be aware of?   What exactly is self esteem?  How does bullying contribute to teen suicide?  Bullying is one of the most sensitive subjects that you could have a conversation about, and I believe what I've uncovered in this 6 part series can help to reduce bullying.  I hope you share the heck out of these episodes, it may actually matter to someone.  Go back to school armed with this knowledge.   If you are new to the show, you can always email me at [email protected] to submit questions for future episodes.  Please concentrate when listening to this, the best way is to go for a walk while listening.
