    Have we lived before? Serge Ramelli on Photography, Past Lives & Scientology | DDN Ep 49

    Have we lived before? Serge Ramelli is certain of it, and he says it changed the entire course of his life. In this episode of the Don't Do Nothing Podcast, French photographer Serge Ramelli opens up about growing up in Scientology and how it shaped everything he's become. His mom discovered Scientology in Paris in 1977 after a shy, standoffish neighbor suddenly transformed into a warm, outgoing person, so his mom literally knocked on her door and asked what she had done. When Serge was seven, his mother told him he was a spiritual being who had lived before, and he says it instantly rang true. At 11, he wandered into a lecture on past lives, the speaker asked the room to recall something from 300 years ago, and something came up. A Dianetics session the next day, he says, brought it back with full emotion and detail. Years later he even researched one past-life incident and says he found that the person had existed and died exactly as he'd remembered. As a young man, Serge was weighed down by deep self-doubt and sadness that held him back from the creative life he'd always wanted. His mom gave him over 400 hours of Dianetics auditing, and he went clear at 25. That, he says, is where the confidence came from. He was a broke sales VP living paycheck to paycheck when he finally decided to walk away and become an artist, funded the leap by pitching a Paris hotel owner ("I have a dream, I want to be an artist"), survived toxic business partners, and rebuilt through a scrappy YouTube channel that took off. Today Serge is the official photographer of the city of Las Vegas, has work in 120 galleries worldwide through Yellow Korner, has published eight coffee-table books, and is widely considered the number one photography coach on the internet. He credits the whole journey to Scientology. He now builds his whole production company around past-life stories, including his song "You're Not Your Body."

    Pastor Jan Underwood on Saving Women and Children All Saints Ministries Journey

    In this episode of the Don't Do Nothing Podcast, Pastor Jan Underwood shares one of the wildest life stories we've had on the show. He spent years as a private investigator working criminal defense, nearly died after accidentally poisoning himself on a job, and says he was healed at a Pentecostal church he never wanted to walk into. That was the turning point. He went to seminary at 40, became a missions priest, and founded All Saints Ministries in Sarasota. Today his mission is simple: saving women and children, one person at a time. Jan breaks down how his program gives people a fresh start, why he lives by "teach them to fish" instead of handing out fish, and the practical systems behind it, from literacy and job placement to "cohorting" two moms so they can share childcare. He also makes the case that good people of every faith, Christian, Muslim, atheist, Scientologist, can get on the same train and change lives together. Let us know in the comments how did you like this episode and remember: Don't do nothing. In this episode: Why Jan says "women and children first" is a challenge to every man His years as a private investigator working criminal defense Accidentally poisoning himself on a job and being sent to hospice The Pentecostal church healing he says changed everything Going to seminary at 40 and what it taught him about humility Founding All Saints Ministries and choosing "teach them to fish" The fresh-start program: safety first, then literacy, jobs, and a plan "Cohorting": pairing two moms on opposite shifts so they share childcare Helping over 4,000 mothers, and being honest about the ones it doesn't work for Why he keeps the women anonymous, no faces, no photos, for their safety Why good people of every faith can work together to change lives Links mentioned in this episode: All Saints Ministries: https://allsaintsministries.org All Saints Ministries (Facebook): https://www.facebook.com/allsaintschapel777 William Tucker on DDN (literacy and education): https://youtu.be/SAE84ML7rnI Follow us on other places: https://www.instagram.com/dontdonothingpodcast/ https://www.facebook.com/DDNPod https://www.tiktok.com/@dontdonothingpod https://x.com/dontdonothing8   Curious about Yourself?

    Psychiatry's Plan to Destroy The West - Psychopolitics Brainwashing Manual Complete Text DDN Ep 47

    In this episode of the Don't Do Nothing Podcast, Aaron opens a Cold War text, "Brainwashing: A Synthesis of the Russian Textbook on Psychopolitics," and reads it to Brad line by line for the first time on camera. Published in 1955, the document is a leaked Soviet playbook for conquering the West not with armies, but by seizing control of "mental healing," loyalty, and belief. Aaron and Brad react in real time to its opening address, its chapter list, and its most extreme passages. This document is a wild window into Cold War propaganda, the politics of mental health, and explains why both hosts are so against the psychiatric and pharmaceutical industries. The full text is linked below so you can read it and decide for yourself. Let us know in the comments how did you like this episode and remember: Don't do nothing.

    Getting an Associate Degree at 16 | How to Get a Head Start in Life | Donovan Chan | DDN Ep 46

    Most 17-year-olds are told to go to college and figure life out as they go. Donovan Chan did the opposite. By 16 he had already finished high school and earned a college associate's degree, graduated valedictorian, landed in his school's Hall of Fame, and bought himself roughly four years of a head start. His secret isn't a genius-level shortcut. It's purpose, and a willingness to do the work everyone else is scared of. In this episode of the Don't Do Nothing Podcast, the youngest guest in DDN history breaks down how he mapped out his degree like a system, why he thinks a whole generation is drifting instead of driving, and how growing up a third-generation Scientologist shaped the way he thinks. He also lays out his plan to help grow his family's business, the Durable Slate Company, into a billion-dollar company, and why he still finds time for six fantasy football leagues. This one goes deep on purpose, discipline, and the trap of instant gratification. Donovan and the guys get into why religion and a real sense of purpose matter, what he thinks is broken about the mental health industry, how the Purification Program and the personality test opened his eyes, and what Scientology looks like when you actually grow up inside it.

    The Truth About Human Rights | Musician & Advocate Wil Seabrook

    Everyone "knows" that presidents and armies change history. Wil Seabrook watched the opposite happen with his own eyes. As a kid growing up in West Germany, he saw ordinary East Germans, teachers, bakers, construction workers, stand shoulder to shoulder and bring down the Berlin Wall without a single shot fired. That moment shaped everything he has done since. In this episode of the Don't Do Nothing Podcast, Wil shares how he went from a nerdy kid singing in church to a Warner Bros recording artist with songs in over 150 TV shows and films, and then walked away from the stage to spend his life on human rights education. He breaks down the one music-career decision he most regrets, why he believes truth plus art is unstoppable, and the honest conversation about addiction and modern manhood that he thinks every young man needs to hear. This one goes deep on what it actually takes: grinding for grocery money to build a business, learning that the world runs on real exchange, and finding a fact-based approach in Scientology that let him quit what was holding him back and make his own decisions as himself. Along the way: meeting the Prime Minister of Namibia, why today is the peak of the global slave trade, and what the fall of the Berlin Wall really teaches us about human beings. Let us know in the comments how did you like this episode and remember: Don't do nothing. In this episode: Witnessing ordinary people bring down the Berlin Wall without a shot fired Why Wil believes truth plus art together are unstoppable Going from church-choir kid to a Warner Bros recording artist The hit-songwriter he turned down, and the career lesson he still regrets Why today is the peak of the global slave trade, and why we should call it slavery An honest talk about addiction, modern manhood, and pointing your energy somewhere worthy How Scientology gave him fact-based tools to quit cold turkey and self-determine his life What the emotional tone scale is, and how he used it to defuse a run-in with German police What Scientology is in his own words Links mentioned in this episode: United for Human Rights: https://www.humanrights.com Youth for Human Rights: https://www.youthforhumanrights.org The Story of Human Rights (short film): https://www.scientology.tv/documentaries/the-story-of-human-rights.html Follow Wil: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wilseabrook Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/wilseabrookmusic Follow us on other places: https://www.instagram.com/dontdonothingpodcast/ https://www.facebook.com/DDNPod https://www.tiktok.com/@dontdonothingpod https://x.com/dontdonothing8 #dontdonothing #humanrights #scientology

    Why So Many Talented Artists Stay Broke | Comedian & Scientologist Evan Wecksell | DDN #44

    Most people think the struggle is the point: that a "real" artist has to stay broke to stay authentic. Evan Wecksell believes the opposite. The thing keeping most talented comedians, musicians, and creatives poor isn't a lack of talent. It's that they're withholding, hiding their best material, refusing to post, waiting to be discovered instead of getting paid. In this episode of the Don't Do Nothing Podcast, Evan shares how he went from doing hand puppets in a night-school marketing class to touring comedy in 48 states as a "comedian with a guitar," and how he quietly built a second career of over 14,000 hours of tutoring along the way. He breaks down the exact mindset shifts that got him paid, the "mosquito rule" he uses to shrug off online hate, and how Scientology's Study Technology raised his own SAT verbal score and gave him a way to actually see how situations play out, "like seeing the Matrix." But this conversation goes far beyond comedy. It's about connections being the lines money actually moves on, about standing up to religious bigotry through the STAND League, about being in Manhattan on 9/11, and about how auditing made Evan a calmer husband and father. Let us know in the comments how did you like this episode and remember: Don't do nothing.

    Why So Many Kids Struggle in School | It All Starts with Literacy | William Tucker

    Most people think struggling in school means you're not smart. William Tucker believes the exact opposite. William is the co-founder of Charity United, an organization focused on solving one of the biggest problems in the world: literacy. His work has taken him from refugee camps in Europe to the slums of South Africa and India, where he discovered something surprising, people weren't asking for money. They were asking for education. In this episode, William explains why literacy is the foundation of civilization, why so many children fall behind in school, and why the modern education system often mistakes memorization for real learning. He shares what he learned teaching thousands of children in some of the toughest environments on Earth, why there are no "stupid kids," and how mastering language changes the way we think. The conversation also explores homeschooling, the history of education, the hidden reason civilizations rise and fall, and the remarkable story of helping a 73-year-old American learn to read for the first time. Whether you're a parent, teacher, business owner, or simply someone who wants to understand how people truly learn, this episode will change the way you think about education. Don't do nothing.
