  1. Dr. Jennifer Stankus “Life Can’t be Exceptional Unless You Do Exceptional Things”

    Dr. Jennifer Stankus “Life Can’t be Exceptional Unless You Do Exceptional Things”

    From high school dropout to licensed attorney to military magistrate to emergency physician, Dr. Jenn’s path defies convention and embodies grit. 
 Allow me to introduce Dr. Jenn properly - Jennifer L'Hommedieu Stankus, MD, JD, FACEP Board Certified Emergency Physician Producer, Military & Law Enforcement content, American Stories Entertainment  Past Chair, Emergency Medicine Foundation Licensed attorney and Former military magistrate Courtroom Expert Witness - Comprehensive Medical Legal Consultants, LLC This means Dr. Jenn is an ER doc, lawyer, military vet x 2, former LEO and reality tv star. Her background fuses combat-tested discipline, medical precision, and legal expertise into a life of service, leadership, and high-stakes decision-making. But it wasn’t always clear she'd end up here. Dr. Jenn opens up about her early years—dropping out of high school at 16 and enlisting in the military at 17. That decision changed everything. From there, she cultivated a mindset forged in discipline and resilience, guiding her through the challenges of earning both an MD and a JD. Along the way, she became a voice of reason in chaos, whether in the ER, a courtroom, or on a survival show like Surviving Mann with former guest and Seal Team 6 Operator and the most dangerous man- in the world - that I know, Don Mann. At the heart of this episode is a powerful insight: mental toughness often beats physical strength. Whether competing against elite operators on national television or advocating for preparedness and self-defense in daily life, Dr. Jenn illustrates that perseverance, mindset, and a refusal to quit are the ultimate force multipliers. Her journey reminds us that the most effective tool for survival—on the street or in the ER—is the mind. Now, she’s sharing those lessons through writing, media, and mentorship. Her upcoming book, Hard Target, blends practical self-defense wisdom with real-world urgency.  As a co-host on Surviving Mann and a producer of tactical media, she continues to mentor and inspire a wide audience, especially those who feel underestimated or overlooked. Whether you're in medicine, law, military service, or simply trying to grow stronger every day, Dr. Jenn offers a blueprint for resilience and reinvention—no matter where you start. 🔗 Connect with Dr. Jenn on Her Linktree - https://linktr.ee/dr_jenn Insta- https://www.instagram.com/_dr_jenn/ I am Damian Porter , Former NZ Special Forces Operator, Subject Matter Expert from www.hownottodieguy.com and www.eatwellmovewell.net And you are listening to my STRAIGHT TALK MIND AND MUSCLE PODCAST sponsored by www.mystait.com - the ultimate daily formula for optimum hormone health, stress management, energy and performance.  100% natural and clinically proven ingredients, it provides everything you need to raise your game, in a convenient gut-friendly capsule.

  2. Ania Drozd "From Pain to Power: Transforming Your Movement”

    6月4日

    Ania Drozd "From Pain to Power: Transforming Your Movement”

    Ania Drozd never set out to become a clinical movement specialist. She began, instead, with a single question: Why? Why do people move the way they do? Why does pain persist even after treatment? Why do standard protocols so often fall short? The answers weren’t in the textbooks. They were in the body. And they were inside her own. Raised in a family where sports were as natural as breathing, Ania’s first passion was equestrian show jumping. Her early years were marked by discipline, competition, and performance under pressure—qualities that would later define her professional philosophy. But when the mental and physical toll of that life became unsustainable, she did something rare: she listened to her instincts and walked away. What followed was not retreat, but reinvention. Ania dove into weightlifting, calisthenics, and eventually clinical movement practice—not as a hobby, but as a form of personal problem-solving. Injuries, chronic pain, and a lack of clear answers from specialists forced her to build her own solutions. When MRIs, X-rays, and professional opinions led nowhere, she trusted her gut and went inward, combining her formal education in neuropharmacology with thousands of hours of experimentation and self-study. What emerged was a framework grounded in biology, behavior, and biomechanics—a common-sense system built not on trends, but on truth. She came to understand pain not as an enemy, but as a signal—one that reveals the body’s inefficiencies, compensations, and imbalances. She began asking better questions—and helping others do the same. Today, Ania leads a select group of clients through that same process: breaking cycles of chronic pain and rebuilding functional movement from the ground up. Her work is defined by precision, quality, and a refusal to do anything halfway. She prioritizes depth over scale, impact over popularity, and results over trends. Her philosophy is simple: “You don’t fix movement by treating symptoms. You fix movement by understanding the system.” This mindset has shaped her transition from in-person coaching to a streamlined, high-accountability online practice that spans time zones and continents. She’s built a trusted brand, not by marketing noise, but by meaningful results—and by earning her clients’ respect through clarity, consistency, and care. Ania Drozd is not selling movement. She’s selling autonomy.
For those willing to do the work, her process doesn’t just relieve pain—it redefines the way people move through life. 🔗 Connect with Ania: Instagram: @ania.drozd – Message her directly for coaching or collaboration - https://www.instagram.com/aniamoves/ YouTube (Coming Soon): Breakdown videos and movement insights.

  3. Tim Stout 
“How A Pro MMA Career Paved the Way for Real Estate Success”




    5月14日

    Tim Stout 
“How A Pro MMA Career Paved the Way for Real Estate Success”




    Tim Stout 
“How A Pro MMA Career Paved the Way for Real Estate Success”


This time, I had the pleasure of chatting with Tim Stout, former professional fighter turned real estate mogul. Tim’s journey is nothing short of inspiring, and I can’t wait for you to dive into our conversation. Tim, also known by his fight nickname "MOAB" (Massive Ordnance Air Blast), earned the title for his explosive, powerful presence in the ring. The nickname reflects his intense fighting style and the impact he had on opponents.
 
Tim began his journey in martial arts at age seven and went on to become a professional MMA and kickboxing fighter, eventually competing in Strikeforce. With a pro MMA record of 16 wins and 10 losses, including 8 knockouts, 3 submissions, Tim’s career was forged in real competition. Today, he’s known not just for his fight record but for building a thriving real estate business grounded in the same discipline and drive that fuelled his years in the cage. As Tim grew up, his passion for combat sports expanded into tough man competitions—venues where he could test himself against untrained but determined opponents. One humbling session with a jiu-jitsu instructor changed everything, leading Tim to train seriously in the art and ultimately go pro. Despite his success, Tim recognized the limitations of a long-term career in combat sports. The physical toll and financial uncertainty—especially while running a gym—pushed him to make a bold pivot: real estate. “You can’t teach tough.” For Tim, toughness is about mindset. It’s the ability to take a hit—literally or figuratively—and keep moving forward. This combat sports mindset became his greatest transferable skill. In business, just like in the ring, setbacks are inevitable. Tim credits his success in real estate to the same principles he used in fighting: staying calm under pressure, showing up consistently, and pushing forward even when things get hard. Confidence isn’t just a feeling—it’s something earned through repeated exposure to discomfort and challenge. Tim’s training philosophy is rooted in realism and development. For kids, he recommends boxing as the foundation—it builds confidence and helps them learn to manage fear and contact. He also values wrestling as a dominant, control-based discipline. For adults, particularly women, Tim stresses proactive, decisive action in dangerous situations, focusing on targeting vital areas like the eyes, throat, and groin. And for law enforcement, he advocates for training that bridges the gap between sport and survival—equipping officers with practical, hands-on skills to reduce reliance on weapons and improve outcomes in the field. Today, Tim splits his time between leading one of the region’s top real estate teams and running his gym, Independent MMA & Fitness in Newnan, Georgia, where clients from 20 to 55 train not to hurt, but to learn. His advice spans far beyond the mat: be proactive, build confidence early, and never underestimate the power of physical and mental preparation. From the dojo to the closing table, Tim Stout’s life proves that real-world resilience is the ultimate transferable skill. 🔗 Connect with Tim on: Instagram: Self-defense: @themoabstout - https://www.instagram.com/themoabstout/ Real estate: @timstout - https://www.instagram.com/thetimstout/ Facebook: Tim Stout (for both real estate and self-defense content) YouTube: Tim Stout (search his name for his channel) Real Estate Website: realestateblackbelt.com Gym Website: independentmmafitness-newnan.com (Independent MMA and Fitness, Newnan, GA) I am Damian Porter , Former NZ Special Forces Operator, Subject Matter Expert from www.hownottodieguy.com and www.eatwellmovewell.net And you are listening to my STRAIGHT TALK MIND AND MUSCLE PODCAST sponsored by www.mystait.com - the ultimate daily formula for optimum hormone health, stress management, energy and performance.  100% natural and clinically proven ingredients, it provides everything you need to raise your game, in a convenient gut-friendly capsule.

    Bill Fahy “How I Nearly Got Robbed By A Honey Pot and Her Boyfriend”



    Bill Fahy is a Texas-based website designer and firearms instructor with extensive experience in self-defense and situational awareness. Despite his background, Bill faced a potentially dangerous situation that emphasized the importance of constant vigilance. In addition to his professional work, Bill is also a passionate advocate for veterans' mental health, actively supporting Camp Hope, a vital initiative aiding veterans suffering from PTSD. Back to Bill’s story. Despite his training, he ignored initial warning signs, like as a suspiciously parked car and a seemingly innocent young woman engaging him in conversation. His gut instinct told him something was off, yet he dismissed it. Fortunately, when the situation escalated, Bill's quick thinking and assertive response deterred the potential threat. This experience reinforced a critical lesson: even experienced individuals can become complacent, making consistent awareness and preparedness essential. Here are key insights for enhancing personal safety: Trust Your Instincts: Bill emphasized the importance of trusting your gut feelings. If something feels off, it probably is. Don’t be afraid to leave a situation if it doesn’t feel right. Be Present and Aware: Avoid distractions like headphones or your phone when you’re out in public. Pay attention to the people around you and be proactive about your safety. Project Confidence: Bad guys often prey on the weak. Projecting confidence and awareness can deter potential threats. Avoid Distractions: Remain aware of your surroundings by avoiding distractions like headphones or excessive phone use in public spaces. Have a Plan: Always know your exit routes, and consider carrying self-defense tools when appropriate. Beyond his safety insights, Bill's advocacy for veterans shines through his involvement with Camp Hope. This organization provides immediate assistance to veterans dealing with PTSD, offering free accommodations and community support from fellow veterans. Bill’s dedication to this cause highlights the urgent need for mental health resources for those who have served. Bill started his career in technology, opening FDI Creative Services, a website development firm, in 1996 in Chicago, Illinois. Bill is also a firearms enthusiast and competitive shooter, competing in IPSC matches for most of his adult life. Bill's main focus in the web design field is to help Firearm dealers, Hunting and Fishing Outfitters, as well as various other industries build their business through web design and Internet Marketing. This passion led Bill to Partner with Mark Atchison, an NRA pistol instructor and Federal Firearms Licensee. Together, they built www.everythinggun.com, evgun.com and armsads.com. These websites provide online shopping for firearms and gear in addition to pistol training and Conceal Carry Licensing.

  8. “The Evolution of U.S. Marine Corps Special Operations”: Insights from John Dailey

    “The Evolution of U.S. Marine Corps Special Operations”: Insights from John Dailey

    “The Evolution of U.S. Marine Corps Special Operations”: Insights from John Dailey John Dailey is a retired Marine Force Recon sniper and member of Detachment One, the first USMC unit in SOCOM. A veteran of Afghanistan and Iraq, he now trains Marine Raiders and holds multiple master’s degrees, including an MFA in creative writing. He is also the author of Tough Rugged Bastards. Over the course of his career, John played a pivotal role in shaping the Marine Corps' special operations capabilities, including the formation of the Marine Raiders. From his early days in Force Recon to deploying alongside Navy SEALs in Iraq, John's experience spans some of the most transformative moments in modern military history. In this episode, John shares a powerful insight that has shaped both his military career and his life beyond service: "When the mission changes, your mindset must change with it. Adaptability isn’t just a skill; it’s a survival tool.” This mindset defined John's ability to lead through shifting roles, new threats, and unexpected challenges. After 9/11, as the Marine Corps was tasked with creating a new special operations unit, John found himself at the forefront of this transformation. Working alongside Colonel Robert Coates, John helped form the Marine Corps' first special operations unit, which would later become the Marine Raiders. Their initial deployment alongside Navy SEALs in Iraq in 2004 marked a turning point for the Marine Corps' role in SOCOM and the wider special operations landscape. John’s philosophy on leadership, adaptability, and teamwork is deeply rooted in his military experience. He emphasizes that even support roles — mechanics, medics, and administrative staff — were vital to mission success. "Everybody fights," John recalls. "That mindset kept us prepared for anything.” Mental Fortitude and Problem-Solving: The ability to navigate high-stress situations and solve problems under pressure is crucial in special operations. John’s resilience and growth throughout his career serve as an inspiration for aspiring operators and veterans alike. Since retiring, John has continued to share his insights on leadership, resilience, and the importance of finding purpose after military service.
