In this episode of The Dean Taylor Show, I sit down with David Smith — known as Mindset.Soldier — a military veteran who rebuilt his life through discipline, resilience, and faith in God.

We talk about:

• The realities of military life
• Transitioning back to civilian identity
• Why discipline beats motivation
• The mental battles men don’t talk about
• Finding purpose after service
• How faith in God changed his direction
• Building strength in a culture that promotes weakness

This conversation goes beyond mindset — we get into belief, responsibility, and what it actually takes to rebuild yourself from the inside out.

If you’re searching for direction, strength, or something deeper than surface-level self-help, this one will resonate.

In this episode of The Dean Taylor Show, Dean sits down with Billy Moore — former boxer, author, and survivor of one of the harshest prison systems in the world.

Billy shares the unfiltered reality of life inside a Thai prison: the violence, isolation, addiction, and the brutal fight for survival. He opens up about how Muay Thai became his lifeline — not just physically, but mentally — and how it ultimately helped him rebuild his life.

His story later became the book and film A Prayer Before Dawn, but behind the headlines is a deeply personal journey of destruction, discipline, and redemption.

Recorded under the needle while being tattooed, this conversation is raw, honest, and uncomfortable at times — exactly how real stories should be.

This episode explores:

• Surviving the Thai prison system
• Addiction and self-destruction
• Muay Thai as mental and physical salvation
• Identity, masculinity, and rebuilding after rock bottom
• What true resilience really looks like

Raw conversations. Real stories. No filters.
