Awakened Nation Brad Szollose

Dave Sanderson was the last man off of US Airways Flight 1549 when it landed in the Hudson River in NYC in 2009. He dove into he icy cold water that day and almost died as his body succumbed to hypothermia...only to be scooped out of the river by 2 of NYC Firefighters.

Now, 15 years later, Dave shares with Awakened Nation his return to swimming the same spot in the Hudson River with a group of Navy Seals, and the memories it stirred up.

Dave explains something that no one could have warned him about and that was Post Traumatic Growth Syndrome... something Dave talks about in his TEDTalk... instead of getting depressed and withdrawn, he had the opposite happened.

This is a powerful episode as Dave returns to Awakened Nation.

About Dave Sanderson:

On January 15, 2009, Dave Sanderson was one of the last passengers off the plane that crashed into the Hudson River, best known as The Miracle on the Hudson, and considered to be the most successful ditching in aviation history.

As President of his firm, Dave Sanderson Speaks International LLC, he has built a career as a motivational speaker, mentor, and author.  Recently named by Inc.com as one of the top 100 Leadership Speakers, Dave speaks to audiences around the globe about the harrowing experience that shaped his future.

At a time when people are longing for connection and community, they are also seeking a way to create an extraordinary life truly. So many don’t have a mentor or their own personal “board of directors, so today, Dave works with people of all ages to help them decide what their personal “life” brand will look like going forward.

From his own life-changing experience, Dave is now convinced that everyone has their own defining moment but that most don’t know how to take that first step
to find the opportunities that exist out of their own uncertainty.

If you were under a mind control, would you know it?

Jason Christoff joins Brad Szollose on Awakened Nation to share the secrets our government, Hollywood and media use to make the public easier to control, govern, lie to, manipulate, coerce and steal from.

Jason discovered these tactics after he gained a fortune and lost it all for no apparent reason.

"It doesn't matter of you go into theater A or theater B, it's the same programming."

You may think you are not susceptible to mind control, you'd be wrong. Jason specializes in exposing the manipulative psychology, behavior modification, brainwashing, mental conditioning, and mind control that have been weaponized against the public by media and government WORLDWIDE!!!

This is a scary and eye-opening episode, and you may give up coffee after you learn what it is used for in mind-control.

ABOUT JASON CHRISTOFF:

Jason Christoff runs an international overcoming self sabotage and psychological reprogramming institute where students are educated on the subjects of mind control, brainwashing, behavior modification and psychological manipulation. Jason's students then use their knowledge in these areas to help reprogram their clients into better versions of themselves on all levels.

Jason believes that the social decay we openly see in our world today has only come about because key players in our society are using this manipulative psychology against most of humanity. If we are to survive and thrive in the upcoming years Jason believes that each citizen must understand these processes, as to protect themselves from future psychological operations.

Jason's presentation for The Romanian Parliament on Media/Government Mind Control During The COVID Operation is mind-blowing. Here's the link: https://youtu.be/jryvzPU40Go?si=2D_-BNslA37XQfFr
