Chronic Victory Podcast #89 - Science, Theories & Mind-blowing stuff.

Mon, 04 Mar 2024 01:00:00 -0600

Science fiction is only just science fiction, until it becomes science.

What if we can go from feeling small in a supermassive and big place, to feeling like a part of something big, in a supermassive and big place... Something important and rare, to which when there is something wrong with us physically, ranging all the way from from illness & pain, to hating how fat or wrinkly or ugly we feel.. that becomes irrelevant, because we are so much more!

Quantum Physics, theories of our universe and what we are... Just what does this have to do with anything? Well, there are two main reasons why I am talking about these things which can benefit us all. Let's talk!

Here is my "because of the internet" Disclaimer: Today's episode has some wild stuff and I'm not 100% sure how much is true, however I'm entertained just thinking and talking about it all! :)

"Well-being is realized by small steps, but is truly no small thing" -Zeno

In this episode, we discuss "thinking small", how that benefits our lives, and what may come in succession of it. LIFE is going to happen regardless of how you feel about it. What we should focus on is what we are going to DO about it.

Chronic Victory Podcast #85 - Default Aggressive

Sat, 13 Jan 2024 21:00:00 -0600

I first learned about “Default aggressive" from former US Navy SEAL's Leif Babin & Jocko Willink ( check out Jocko Podcast or read their book "Extreme Ownership" for more intel). This concept is an awesome way to approach life and we should remember it!

"Default Aggressive" means that you’re being proactive instead of reactive. It means that you’re taking action in life, rather than being a passive bystander watching your life go by.

Chronic Victory Podcast #80 - The book 'Feeling Good' pt. 3

Tue, 02 May 2023 21:00:00 -0500

In this episode, we wrap up going through of the book 'Feeling Good' by Dr. David Burns M.D. We go through parts 3,4, and 5. This book is a gold mine for dealing with depression. This is my interpretation of the subject matter within, my highlights, and why I believe it's important for us. This is the first book on my list (of many) that I plan to go through. Why? So you don't have to!

Even if you don't experience depression firsthand, I hope you stick around because your own understanding of this topic could help someone that you care about and may even save a life.

How can you not listen when someone tells you that "you will fail" or that "you can't" do something? Fear is the enemy of courage. It's the abusive and narcissistic half of the relationship we have with it. Let's put fear out on the table and examine it so we can then ask the question: How can we make this better?

Chronic Victory Podcast #59 - The Truth

Thu, 25 Nov 2021 13:00:00 -0600

I discuss some of my personal experiences with supernatural occurrences to share what I learned from them. You can read and study something as much as you want, but until you go through and experience it, you won't fully understand it, because we don't know what we don't know.

Observational truth VS Personal Truth.
Unexplained things.
Blind VS Bold faith.
Things that exist that we cannot see.
4th Dimension.
We don't know what we don't know!
No frame of reference and people won't understand you...
Material world VS Spiritual world.
Spiritual Warfare.
Demon story.
What does it take for something to become real to you?
Face of Christ story.
Owl story.
Acceptance.
Questions & Realizations.

Chronic Victory Podcast #51 - Podcast Number 1 (Remix)

Wed, 27 Jan 2021 13:00:00 -0600

Well here we are, kicking off the new year a little bit late, but with a much needed review of what the podcast is all about. Going back and reflecting on the podcast and its data, I found that the very slow paced Podcast #1 was where newcomers went to first. The last thing I want is people to suffer a snooze fest... SO, in today's podcast, I have officially condensed Podcast #1, review the podcast's mission, and discuss what things will look like moving forward... Let's talk!

Topics:

This years theme: I don't know SH1T, but let's talk about it anyway...
Group Talk.
Condensed Podcast Mission Statement and why CVP is here <3
New things to expect going forward.
Getting involved!!!

Chronic Victory Podcast #50 - Struggle Today-Strength Tomorrow w/ Bethan Collier

Tue, 08 Dec 2020 11:00:00 -0600

You may be surprised to hear from me that you don't always need to win win win all the time. resist the urge to quarrel, to always get the last word in, and refocus your efforts toward not worldly issues, but what is the bigger picture. In order to do so we need to remain students to life itself. But how do we execute on that when we live in a land full of masters, self-help gurus, where everyone is a "coach" now? Let's talk...

Topics:

You don't always have to win!
Purpose by Existing.
Forgiveness is 95% of solving a problem.
What are you carrying with you all the time?
Human are meant to Intervene, Engage, and Make Difference.
Laws of reality and changing the course of events.
Repairing the Heart.
Too many masters, not enough students...
Killing an Ego.
Humility.

Chronic Victory Podcast #49 - The Disabled Lie

Mon, 30 Nov 2020 17:00:00 -0600

Every day around the globe, people are going from what they deem to be normalcy, to baptism by fire, becoming a disabled person. It turns out life gets more complicated and difficult than it does easier. From what I can tell, a large lot of these human beings are being abused, stolen from, expected to settle for lesser paths in life, and then, forgotten about.

In a world where money is worth more than people, where does this leave the disabled person? Let's call this out for what it is...

Topics:

No more holding back!
Behind the scenes of the podcast, there is a raging war.
When you get your a$$ kicked...
Medication withdrawals & Brain Zaps.
Sick and tired of being sick and tired.
Compartment Syndrome test day.
Temporarily Resigning.
Forgive yourself.
The bare minimum.
Survival is the righteous choice.
The wise person...
The "Disabled Lie"
When we don't fit in...
Money > People.
False promises about ease of life transition.
Abused, stolen from and forgotten.
Some disabled people are NOT protected by laws.
Evil people.
Play your hand.

Chronic Victory Podcast #45 - Healing Hurts & Contradictions

Mon, 19 Oct 2020 05:00:00 -0500

Feeling lost? Having another setback? Maybe some doubts? I find myself identifying contradictions within advice almost every day and it's easy to get hung up on them. But what blocks action, advances action. What stands in the way, becomes the way. Your path is already laid out for you. And what does philosophy have to do with all this anyway? How about virtues? I'm glad you asked. Let's talk...

Topics

What stands in the way, becomes the way.
The art of turning obstacles upside down.
Our advantage of adapting.
Identifying virtues.
Philosophy is the missing element to a better life.
Philosophy goes unnoticed.
Philosophy should not be pleasurable.
Healing hurts.
We have choice.
A rare breed of people.
You are not so different from your heroes.
Happiness is a choice within the dirtiness and suck of life.
What if the bad thing wasn't so bad? No, seriously..
Invisible enemy.
Attitude & approach are it.
The goal of philosophy is to strengthen.
Contradictions everywhere! The right answer? It depends...
Being able to adapt is crucial to living better!

Chronic Victory Podcast #44 - The Seeds You Sow w/ Brandon Lingle

Tue, 22 Sep 2020 04:00:00 -0500

This episode concludes my conversation with Brandon Lingle, who embodies the mindset, the honesty and the fighting spirit that the podcast attempts to share with everyone. Brandon has been through a lot. Whether he likes it or not, he's a real life superhero and I thank him for his service and courage to be open about the realities he faces.

I met Brandon Lingle back in 2009 when I had to do a ride-along with a police department. When talking about my future career, he was the first person to tell me "when" and not "if". He had a rough upbringing and joined the US Army at age 17. After being deployed to Baghdad, Iraq and experiencing war, he's currently a father of two and a police Sergeant. Brandon will be featured in the next three podcasts because there's much to cover. We can all learn something from this man and his motivating attitude. Let's talk...

Topics:

We have a problem and it's name is Suicide.
PTSD: There's a cost.
True growth.
God put you where you are for a reason.
Working in the schools.
You have two choices in life...
The seeds you sow.
The reason for everything...
"Because I can handle it".
My heart and mind will carry me when my legs are too weak.
The need for warriors and straight up savages.
Where is your attention at???
Opportunity knocks.
You will never get better if you are constantly afraid of being viewed as weak.
Why hide it all?
Be honest with it all.

Brandon, thank you for being open and honest with everyone and for being a part of this fight we all share. It means the world. Stay safe out there brother.

Chronic Victory Podcast #39 - Do The Thing w/ Jake White Eagle

Wed, 15 Jul 2020 15:00:00 -0500

Jake White Eagle and I go way back. He is one of my best friends. He was in an accident that changed his life. It took 23 years of his life to get to a certain point... the point he wanted to start living life on his own terms. He didn't give in to the pressures of others. He didn't give in to the negativity thrown his way. And he didn't let others dictate his actions. It's never a good time to starts something, so why not start immediately? Failing in his new dream of starting his own business, was never an option. He did the thing. Let's talk...

Topics:

Adrenaline in my blood.
Common suffering and brotherhood.
The Accident.
Blame.
Scarcity of people.
Those who mind...
Opinions we have.
Things aren't good or bad, they just are.
Coping mechanisms.
Warhammer 40,000 and Miniature Wargaming to the rescue!
Creative mind.
Chief Live Gaming LLC.
Set an example, do the thing.

Chronic Victory Podcast #36 - Peace & Love w/ Mia Maysack

Thu, 28 May 2020 09:00:00 -0500

Mia is someone I met in my first pain group I ever attended. She taught me more about the chronic illness life than any other individual has. Even though she may deny it, she was a great mentor to me and a large part of why Chronic Victory Podcast exists today. Even the motto originated from something she told me in an email.

Mia is a leader in the pain and chronic illness community. She doesn't sit around and wait for someone to fix what she thinks needs fixing. Instead, she's the chick that storms capitol hill, signs petitions, and demonstrates true advocacy. We all need to listen to what she has to say...

Topics:

Origin of the motto.
The background and transformation of Mia.
What do you do when it gets bad?
Grief.
Lessons learned - avoiding pitfalls.
Victim mentality influences.
Mia taught me self-care.
What comes to mind with self-care?
Self-care vs Laziness.
Self-care & discipline... one in the same?
Body, Breath, Mind.
Masculinity.
The false self.
Our "ability" to limit influences of stress, pain, anxiety.
Justified emotions.
Having emotions.
Muscle.
This is SELF-HELP.
Doctors & feeling weak.
Questioning ourselves.
Ailments are like children that have tantrums.
Chronic ailments is a full-time job.
The bathtub is my friend :)
Inspiration with true advocacy.
Mental Health and what it means.
Mentally Mindful.
May We Prevail Campaign.
Keepin' Our Heads Up (KOHU)

If you fear learning and thinking critically, then it's time to tune in and face your fears...Let's delve deeper into what it means to have faith and why we even need it in the first place. By the way, what does true masculinity look like to you? Women have just as much reason to tune into this episode as men do.

My guest is once again Stuart McCaw, a 27 year old from the UK, who is an extraordinarily bright, insightful, kind and spiritual man who joins me for part two of our awesome in depth discussion. If there's anyone that can answer questions about faith, particularly Christianity, it's him. Tune in and illuminate yourself.
Check out Stuart and his wife on youtube here.

Topics:

The problem with men.
Correlation of faith & chronic ailments in men.
Masculinity as a religion?
Prayer & Worship. (does that make you uncomfortable? Good.)
Explore your curiosities of faith.
Acceptance & unmitigated Faith.
Religion was taboo.
Intent to get to where you want to be.
Face to face with yourself...
Suffering.
All men have two fathers.
Anger in troubled boys.. boys that never become men.

Marriage and serving.
Boundaries formed by Christianity bring long-term gain and happiness.

In efforts to never sugar coat up my content, I thought now more than ever would be a good time to discuss faith, it's role and it's place within our lives.

Chronic Victory Podcast #26 - Finding Your Healthy Place w/ Tim O'Brien

Mon, 02 Mar 2020 09:00:00 -0600

There's a nutrition store where I live called The Healthy Place. Little did I know, this store would change my life and for the better. In this episode, one of the owners of The Healthy Place (formerly known as Apple Wellness), Tim O'Brien joins me to talk about health and the natural way. He is the most passionate guy I know when it comes to health and wellness. Tim also owns (what I would deem the best CBD company known to man), Wild Theory CBD Co.

Here's a look at what we discuss:

Experience with nutrition stores and looking for something to help.
Who is Tim O'Brien??
The industry of natural supplements.
Wild Theory CBD.
CBD stigma and testimonials.
Endocannabinoid System breakdown and unlocking benefits!
The secret of the Endocannabinoid System and why people don't talk about it often.
Pharmaceutical companies and big money $$
CBD - being cured VS strengthening your Endocannabinoid System.
A reasonable amount of time to wait for benefits from supplements.
Two groups of people when it comes to supplements...
Two things Tim's team does NOT believe in: 1. Wasting money 2. Giving up on people.
Misunderstandings with doctors and the natural way due to false claims.
Drugs and side effects VS A natural nutrient (CBD) that strengthens the body and unlocks benefits.
Being fully informed before choosing your many options.
Tim has something to tell you about your worth...
The Healthy Place team.
Tim's invitation to YOU.

*****GOOD NEWS FOR YOU*****

Chronic Victory Podcast #25 - Take What You can Use

Mon, 24 Feb 2020 03:00:00 -0600

It's good to be back.
Car crash.
Delayed Release PAIN.
The onset.
Chronically ill and...forgotten.
Chronically ill are seldom considered by mainstream for self-help & motivation.
We don't fit the narrative for mainstream motivation, even though we need it more than most others.
Reality looks different for you and I than the person in the commercial.
"Mainstream motivation" is typically about Laziness, Consistency, Diet, and can become very tedious.
Just because we don't fit the category, doesn't mean we can't use it to our advantage.
Our responsibility to ourselves. Ownership.
First company to partner up with my show and a product I use and believe in! LIQUID I.V. Check 'em out!

Thanks to LIQUID I.V. for supporting the show and providing some product that I can share to my listeners!

Chronic Victory Podcast - Motivation to Fight [1]

Tue, 11 Feb 2020 21:00:00 -0600

The first of my "Motivation to Fight" series, what you hear me saying is directly from my writing.

In my early days of all the chronic stuff, when it got dark and just plain bad, I stumbled upon these types of audio recordings along with certain music styles that really helped me personally. They helped me to muster the strength and will to keep going and keep existing. I continue to gain strength and energy from this style. So here I am, to pass it on.

I hope they do the same for you as they did for me.

Stay in the fight.
