Straight Talk - Mind and Muscle Podcast Straight Talk- Mind and Muscle

My esteemed guest, Dr. Leslie Dobson, a seasoned clinical and forensic psychologist, joined me to unravel the complex tapestry of the criminal mind, particularly focusing on sexual predators.
Before we dive into the details of our discussion, I want to mention Leslie's recent contribution to the literary world. Leslie has authored a compelling book titled "The Friend Cleanse," which is an insightful exploration into the dynamics of personal relationships and the importance of surrounding oneself with positive influences. This book is a must-read for anyone looking to improve their social circle and enhance their overall well-being.
Here's a sneak peek of what we dived into:
🧠 **Understanding the Predator's Mindset**: Leslie shed light on the chilling thought patterns of sexual predators, discussing the crucial differences between various types. We explored the dark corners of the minds driven by pedophilia and those with sadistic impulses.
🛡️ **Self-Protection Strategies**: We talked about the importance of being vigilant and the subtle tactics predators use. Leslie shared invaluable advice on how to stay alert and the role our clothing and body language play in deterring unwanted attention.
🔄 **The Grooming Process**: Ever wondered how predators operate? Leslie broke down the grooming process and the motivations behind these heinous acts, offering a deeper understanding of their behavior.
⚖️ **Inside the Courtroom**: The discussion took a turn into the legal world as Leslie recounted her experiences with criminals and victims in the justice system. We compared the behaviors of female and male criminals, revealing some surprising differences.
🔍 **Reading Between the Lines**: We wrapped up with insights into body language and the intuitive skills women often use to gauge potential threats. It's all about empowering ourselves with knowledge to navigate the complexities of criminal behavior without fear.
And of course- Leslie’s book-
📚 **The Friend Cleanse**: In addition to our deep dive into the criminal psyche, Dr. Dobson also introduced her latest book, "The Friend Cleanse," which is an insightful exploration into the impact of interpersonal relationships on our mental health. The book provides a step-by-step guide on how to evaluate and detoxify our social circles, ensuring that we surround ourselves with positive and supportive individuals. It's a compelling read that complements our discussion on self-protection and personal well-being.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone eager to learn more about the psychology of crime, the importance of healthy relationships, and how to protect oneself. Trust me, you'll come away with a new perspective and tools that could be life-changing.

Steve Lazarus- Author,- "Behind the Badge: A Retired FBI Agent's Journey into Writing"
 I introduce the one and only Steve Lazarus, FBI agent turned author, and I know you’ll love the show as much as I did.

Steve Lazarus is a first-time author, retired FBI Special Agent, and United States Air Force veteran. He served twenty-two years in the FBI, spending the first half of his career investigating drug trafficking organisations and violent street gangs. 

Later, he became a full time bomb technician, an assignment which led him to Iraq, Kuwait and Afghanistan as part of the Global War on Terror. After retiring from the Bureau, he spent several years as a national security contractor in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

Steve's journey from law enforcement to literary success is nothing short of inspiring. His debut novel, "Call Me Sonny," is a thrilling dive into the world of a hitman network operating in the shadows of the dark web.

 The kicker? 
It's inspired by a real-life threat Steve faced during his FBI days. Steve’s debut novel was inspired by one of his real-life cases.
 After arresting a subject who threatened to unleash a bioterror attack on the Atlanta subway system, Steve and his partner found themselves of the receiving end of a death threat from the soon-to-be convicted felon.

And though that subject would spend the next 25 years in prison, Steve couldn’t help but wonder….what if he could make good on his threat, even from behind bars? The most logical solution would be if he hired a hit man, and….voila!!!! 

A novel was born.
Talk about authenticity! “Call Me Sonny” was a labor of love incorporating the personalities, anecdotes, and experiences of Steve’s multi- faceted FBI career, and it will be the first in a series of Bryce Chandler crime thrillers.

🎙️ Straight Talk: We get real about the impact of 9/11, the complexities of the Afghan withdrawal, and the intersection of politics and law enforcement. Steve's insights are a reality check we all need in a world where words are often twisted and accountability seems scarce.

👀 Perception is Key: Steve reminds us that it's not just about being a quiet professional; sometimes, you've got to confront the noise head-on. And in a society polarized to extremes, his middle-ground stance is a breath of fresh air.

🔍 The Cliffhanger: "Call Me Sonny" left us hanging, but Steve's already 30,000 words deep into the sequel, "Finding Sonny." Will it be a duo or a trilogy? Stay tuned to find out!

📈 Social Media Sensation: With a quarter million TikTok followers and a strong Instagram presence, Steve's not just a writer; he's a social media phenomenon. And he's got the humor to match, joking about conspiracy theories and the power of perception.

So, if you are ready to dive into a world where fact meets fiction, and the thrills are as real as they get -Tune into this latest episode of the Straight Talk Mind and Muscle Podcast and join us as we explore the mind behind the book with Steve Lazarus.

Richard Strom
"Unleashing Your Inner Savage - From Arctic Ranger to Savage Army Founder - The Power of Nature, Fitness, Passion and Personal Growth”
www.mrmrslove.com
Richard Strom, founder of the Savage Army, originally from Sweden. His mission- WE HELP COMMITTED SOULS ALIGN THEIR MIND AND MACHINE WITH THE SAVAGE THAT ALREADY EXISTS WITHIN
Richard challenges the negative connotations of the word "savage" and redefines it as someone who pursues their beliefs with conviction. 

He advocates for living purposefully, focusing on the present, and setting realistic goals. 
Our conversation touched on the transformative power of nature, the holistic approach to fitness beyond aesthetics, and finding purpose in life's transitions. 

Richard's insights offer a thought-provoking perspective on personal growth and authenticity.
His story is a testament to perseverance and the power of saying "yes."
He reminded us that even when we doubt our worth or wonder if our voices matter, the answer is a resounding "yes" – we all have value to share. 
His commitment to contributing to our community, regardless of follower counts or social media clout, is both humbling and inspiring.

We delved into the essence of the Savage Army, a global tribe united not by physical prowess but by the relentless pursuit of personal evolution. Richard's philosophy shatters the conventional definition of a 'savage,' redefining it as someone who fiercely follows their beliefs and adds value to their life.

Our conversation took a deep dive into the importance of living purposefully, seizing each day, and the folly of waiting for a new year to make meaningful changes. 
Richard's approach to life – focusing on the present and maximizing every 24 hours – is a powerful reminder to live intentionally.

We also explored the transformative journey of his Military career with the Arctic Rangers, the profound impact of nature on our lives, and the limitations of a fitness culture obsessed with aesthetics over functionality. 

Richard's holistic approach to training, emphasizing performance and mental fortitude, is a breath of fresh air in a world fixated on surface-level appearances.

As we wrapped up, Richard left us with a nugget of wisdom on embracing change, finding purpose in the present, and the importance of carrying elements of our past identities into new chapters of our lives.

If you're ready to challenge your perceptions, ignite your purpose, and join a conversation that transcends the ordinary, tune in to this latest episode. Trust me, it's not just another podcast – it's a catalyst for growth.
