Everyday's a Monday

On Today's show I have Ben Bathen is a brilliant computer engineer who once worked for Google, EA Sports.  He helped create games like Rockstar and Grand Theft Auto.   He had a growing career as a programmer yet like so many others during his mid-20s he was stressed by an 80-plus-hour-a-week programming job. A psychologist pressured him to take medications. Ben didn't like the idea, but after a lot of convincing, he caved and over several years took a series of different psychiatric drugs. Between 2004 and 2008 his therapist spent every session convincing him to take SSRI (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors) better known as antidepressants, including Prozac and Lexapro.   In 2017 he had a severe adverse reaction to Lexapro and called the therapists emergency phone line from Springfield, VA.  She then filed criminal charges against him in Chula Vista, CA for PC 422 criminal threats and lied under oath while withholding the fact that the medication caused the incidents.  He was sentenced to two years in the California State Penitentiary and served 10.5 months at the Chino California Institution for Men, and the Sierra Conservation Center.The FDA warns that SSRI's have certain behaviors associated with them including “anxiety, agitation, panic attacks, insomnia, irritability, hostility, impulsivity, akathisia (severe restlessness), hypomania, and mania.”From the FDA's Pediatric Postmarketing Pharmacovigilance and Drug Utilization Review(Escitalopram), published November 22, 2017“Reviewer's Comments: Aggression collectively refers to, unless otherwise specified, suicide, homicide, and other forms of violence. The difference between these forms of violence is their intended target. Escitalopram is labeled in Section 5, Warnings and Precautions, for “anxiety, agitation, panic attacks, insomnia, irritability, hostility, aggressiveness, impulsivity, akathisia (psychomotor restlessness), hypomania, and mania.” Become a Legend!DO you want to find your purpose?  Are you tired of just existing in this world and not truly living?  If so, reach out to me for a FREE Consultationhttps://www.facebook.com/josh.coffman.31https://www.instagram.com/joshua.coffman1/?hl=enhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/joshua-coffman-a7623b86/

Today's episode I focus on what does it take to build a character, mindset and lifestyle that we should be living by to ensure that we cultivate the kind of person we want to become.  All of us should hav a creed, a manifesto, one that is created to hold us to a higher standard to push us to become the best person that we can become.  Here are the top 15 rules that Spartan's expected from their warriors. The greatest shame for a Spartan was to return home alive from a lost battle. So too.  Do not return from a challenge having not given everything.  Only consume plain food and beer eat to the point of satisfaction.  This will not only bring about a leanness for battle but also foster mental fortitude.Seek out intense competition.  You will push yourself much harder. Every Spartan should undergo a right of passage.  A physical or mental trial.  Once completed, you are born again, better than ever.Speed, strength and agility are less essential than stamina, grit, endurance, and courage.Accepting death will allow yo auto live your life courageously.  It unshackles the mind from the limitations of fear, brining forth your true potential.Do not engage in gossip, only engage in conversation that will nourish and strengthen your spirit.Fight fr a good cause, use very ounce of your being to push that cause further and do not be afraid to defend it.Surround yourself with people who are ruthlessly devoted to becoming their greatest selves.10.A leader does not watch on safely in the clear.11.Continuously introduce yourself to difficult situations where you are forced to either sink or swim.  A great Spartan must have the ability to quickly adapt. 12.Partake in structured, organized and well respected training programs, ensuring you see them through to the finish.13.Refuse to be a victim of circumstance.  Learn to be self reliant and prepared for any situation.14.Find ways to implement short bursts of discomfort into your daily life.  This will ensure growth and prevent you from falling into sloth.15.Dedicate yourself to perpetual physical training, regardless of circumstances and feelings.Become a Legend!DO you want to find your purpose?  Are you tired of just existing in this world and not truly living?  If so, reach out to me for a FREE Consultationhttps://www.facebook.com/josh.coffman.31https://www.instagram.com/joshua.coffman1/?hl=enhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/joshua-coffman-a7623b86/

My guest today is Branch Isole.  He is author of twenty-two books in four genres.The power of personal responsibility, or its avoidance, is his writing focus. His self-discovery themes span a wide range of reflective identity situations and scenarios every adult recognizes. His stories explore concepts and actions of struggle and relationship dynamics across a broad spectrum. The world we live in is fast paced and often cobbled together by confusion. No matter one's career path or personal situation, we each experience challenges. Fallout from damaged relationships or daily struggle can be similar no matter who we are, or where we live.Today Branch and I will be discussing and diving deep into  SpiritualityLife 101: Albatross or Millstone?Building a relationship with JesusHow man should walk in this worldWhat characteristic can we take from the Bible to apply to our lives todayFacing our inner demons Seeing the light in this world of darknessBecome a Legend!DO you want to find your purpose?  Are you tired of just existing in this world and not truly living?  If so, reach out to me for a FREE Consultationhttps://www.facebook.com/josh.coffman.31https://www.instagram.com/joshua.coffman1/?hl=enhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/joshua-coffman-a7623b86/

On Today's show  I have a incredible guest, Dr. Robert Yoho.  He spent three decades as a cosmetic surgeon after a career as an emergency physician. His generalist training gives him perspective and allows him to avoid favoring any medical specialty. ​He has had little dealings with hospitals, big Pharma, or insurance companies before he wrote this book. No one has ever considered him a “whale” prescriber or device implanter. He retired from medical practice in 2019.✪ American Society of Cosmetic Breast Surgery: fellow, trustee, officer, and past-president.✪ American Board of Cosmetic Surgery: passed board exams and twice re-certified.✪ American Board of Emergency Medicine: passed board exams and twice re-certified.✪ Fellow American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery (inactive).✪ New Body Cosmetic Surgery Center: founder & director (inactive).✪ American Association Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC) accredited surgical/medical practice for over 25 years. Healthcare is the top cause of all our overdue debts and personal bankruptcy. Our medical spending per person is double that of other countries', but fully half the treatments are ineffective or harmful. Immense, predatory industries such as angioplasty and coronary artery bypass surgery victimize us. These procedures cause complications and deaths, but few patients survive even a day longer. Most back and endoscopic knee surgeries are equally worthless.Seventy percent of us are on prescriptions, and 20 percent take over five. One in six uses psychiatric medicine, which commonly causes irreversible brain damage and premature death. Millions are now addicted to prescription opioids. Fifty-thousand people die each year from overdoses.The FDA allows big Pharma to falsify the studies required to patent drugs. These corporations hire armies of ghostwriters to stuff websites and medical journal articles with marketing lies. Finding the truth is now nearly impossible. But all this gets overlooked as the companies pay billions of dollars in criminal settlements nearly every year.Money short-circuits everyone's integrity, but there is an alternative. Patients and doctors can still prevail. Learn the system, and you can too.Dr Yoho and I go deep on the Transhumanist movement, how the goal is the ultimately connect man and machine along with Covid, the vaccinations and the Great Reset.Become a Legend!DO you want to find your purpose?  Are you tired of just existing in this world and not truly living?  If so, reach out to me for a FREE Consultationhttps://www.facebook.com/josh.coffman.31https://www.instagram.com/joshua.coffman1/?hl=enhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/joshua-coffman-a7623b86/

Today I talk about the ultimate superhero, Jesus Christ. Has there ever been someone like Him to grace this world with His presence? Every single superhero has different qualities of Jesus, yet none of them contain them all. He came to earth to absolve us from our sins, gave his life, was resurrected to give us abundantly the gift of true life and peace within Him. Jesus healed the sick, made the lame walk, raised the dead, new the word better than anyone in that time (because He IS the Word) and yet showed us all how to walk the walk and treat one another with pure love and admiration. Jesus=Salvation=Life.

Creating positive habits, to start off our day right. The Art of Gratitude

Today's episode Mike and I discuss Jordan Peterson's idea of understanding our Inner Monster in order to become the Hero we want to express in the world.  The evil that is within us must be understood and harnessed in order for us to have the full depth of what we are capable us, thus allowing us the opportunity to chose the morally right path, which leads us to becoming a hero with ourselves and the world. 

Reflecting on past relationships in order to reevaluate who we are, what we want and the direction we want to move forward with in our lives.  Understanding the narrative we create in order to justify our action in our relationships and asking ourselves the questions are we defending our position or reflecting on what the other person is saying?  Diving into the Superman Syndrome and the willingness to compromise our personal values and self-love for the sake of rescuing someone else.  Loving yourself and creating a tribe that holds each other accountable through disciplined habits, positive self-talk and breaking the habit of self-sabotage

On Today's episode we dive into the most influential movie characters that have influenced our lives. Through this exercise we are examining the impact and application in which we derive aspects from our external environment that ultimately becomes a part of our collective conscious, thus manifesting into our own reality. We want to examine the idea of original thought and if that is possible to have when we are truly products of what our society has cultivated us to become. Can we break that norm in order to allow our true nature to shine? Lastly, we discuss the application of "Happy Hour" How it is setup, where and what to do and how to apply it to your life on a daily basis to begin creating healthy habits for a better you for the journey of life. 

Who we are, what we want, the goal, how we are creating our tribe and inspiring other men to find their purpose in this world and express themselves with their light to change the lives of others and levae behind a legacy.
