He reminds us that while we cannot always control what happens to us, we can control how we respond through his belief that “those who have a ‘why' to live can bear almost any ‘how,'” Frankl empowers us to find strength in our purpose and transform even the harshest realities into opportunities for growth and self-discovery.Mike and Mark break down Frankl's core principles, sharing practical applications that help us survive difficult times and thrive through them.

Avsnittet presenteras i samarbete med Bookman och då speciellt deras Volume-lampor som är perfekta att införskaffa nu när höstmörkret sänker sig över Cykelsverige!

Years of Service: 1982-2022With over 40 years of law enforcement experience, Frank has risen through the ranks of the Garda Síochána which is the national police force for Ireland. For context, there are no independent police departments, sheriff's offices, or national agencies such as the DEA, FBI, and HSI in Ireland. This means the Garda handles all crimes throughout Ireland. As you will hear during this interview, Ireland's police force is much more community-oriented but as Frank explains they still have the same crimes in Ireland as does the United States. Frank ended his career as a Regional Detective Superintendent after rising through the ranks of Recruit Garda, Garda, Uniform Sergeant, Detective Garda, Bookman or Incident Coordinator, and Detective Superintendent.

By Adam Turteltaub In late 2023, The Office of Inspector General (OIG) at the Department of Health and Human Services issued its new General Compliance Program Guidance. In this podcast, David Schumacher, Partner and Co-Chair of the Fraud & Abuse Practice at Hooper Lundy & Bookman explains that this document is both evolutionary and revolutionary. For years the OIG's office had been offering guidance through the Federal Register. To make that information more accessible it moved it online, consolidated the information, added interactive features and created a much richer resource which makes it both easier for compliance teams to understand the OIG's expectations and more difficult for some to claim that they were unaware of the rules. The changes, though, are more than just the media used to communicate OIG expectations. The document demonstrates both the ongoing expectations by OIG for robust compliance programs and communicates changes in focus. For one, it reveals an enhanced emphasis on quality issues in healthcare and patient safety. It also reflects the OIG's efforts to ensure effective compliance program in new entrants into healthcare, such as private equity and technology firms. Both may well discover that practices that are permissible elsewhere are not in healthcare. The guidance also encourages incentivizing compliance. Another gem in the guidance is the clear message to carefully scrutinize arrangements with third parties. Due diligence at the outset is important, but it is also necessary on an ongoing basis to determine if the relationship is necessary and the price tag is fair market value. Listen in to learn more, and be sure to check out the General Compliance Program Guidance.

Don Downs and Cara Bookman join Liberty Monks to discuss how corruption at the highest level ended the life of Brenda Downs. When Brenda Downs' doctors had no more medical interventions to save her from Covid-19, her family asked for doctors to administer ivermectin. When they refused, her family filed an affidavit seeking emergency and injunctive relief (Donald Downs v Ohio Health). A deal was struck with Ohio Health that if the Downs family agreed to a confidentiality agreement, Brenda would receive the medicine. Ohio Health was so worried about anyone finding out about this that they put a $1,000,000 penalty on each of the three members of the family. The family agreed under duress to save their wife and mother, but the ivermectin never came. In fact, the Downs family was ambushed and intimidated by doctors at the hospital, lying to them that ivermectin would harm Brenda. The following day, after still not having received the medicine, the family was informed that Brenda no longer had Covid-19. The family attorney, working behind the family's back, informed the judge of Brenda's new diagnosis and the judge pushed the agreement aside and never revisited it. When the family went to court to have the agreement set aside, Ohio Health sued them claiming their request to clear up the matter was frivolous. The family is facing a trial on this matter next year. Ohio Health killed their loved one and now outrageously claims it is the one that has been damaged. Imagine an institution that is so worried that one of its patients would be healed by ivermectin that they would go to extreme measures to ensure the patient dies without ever having taken the life-saving drug. That same institution also had the county judge in their back pocket, in addition to the Downs family's own attorney who worked in concert to protect the interests of Ohio Health. How many others throughout the country have perhaps had similar deals with hospitals? Silence in exchange for ivermectin! These institutions are responsible for millions of deaths worldwide and brave people, like Don and Cara, are trying to show how it was done. This isn't just a story of another patient on a ventilator who received Remdesivir – which both occurred. It's a story of corruption to the highest degree.

Lourdes will share her inspiring journey of overcoming cancer, which nearly took her life due to medical intervention. She has not only become a survivor but also a self-taught expert, even delivering her own grandchild during Covid rather than subjecting them to a hospital environment.

Brenda's family will shed light on her battle and the court case surrounding her passing, raising awareness about the dangers and challenges within the healthcare system. GUEST 1 & 2 OVERVIEW: Join us as we delve into the incredible journey of medicine maker Lourdes Lavoy, who defied the odds after being given just one week to live due to cancer spreading throughout her body.

As a Naturopathic Practitioner and Certified Herbalist, Lourdes serves as a beacon of hope and healing for those navigating their own health voyages. GUEST 3 & 4 OVERVIEW: We'll also hear from Don and Cara, the husband and daughter of Brenda Downs, who tragically lost her life after receiving Remdesivir and being put on a ventilator by Ohio Health.

Episode 83: Ryan Penley & His Book, Man Up. Sober Up: Eight Powerful Steps to Reclaim Respect, Conquer Isolation, and Thrive in Recovery ABOUT RYAN As a rock-bottom alumnus, Ryan has transformed his life's adversities into valuable lessons for those still struggling with addiction. Today, he lives a life that is unimaginably blessed, exceeding even his own expectations. His debut book, "Man Up. Sober Up.," serves as both a testament to his resilience and a practical guide for those seeking to reclaim control over their lives. Homelessness, being wanted in three states, being accused of murder by his mother, and visiting death lying in a coma are some of the circumstances that outline Ryan's rock bottom. This journey led to a purpose and dedication for people suffering from addiction and alcoholism. More than a survivor, Ryan is a beacon of hope for those still battling their demons. He demonstrates that from the depths of despair it is indeed possible to forge a life filled with purpose and joy. CONVERSATION HIGHLIGHTS The power of starting with tiny wins "I know what I don't want to be. I don't want to be her." Without a test, there is no testimony. Ryan is now crafting his testimony. The power of healthy fear. "I never lose. I either win or learn." Nelson Mandela The MAIN QUESTION underlying my conversation with Ryan is, How are you empowering your movement forward -- even if it is the fear of something in that past that keeps you motivated?

In this episode, Peter Goeman and Doug Bookman join forces (again) to analyze dispensationalism and identify the key component of the system. This is a part two episode (see Ep 155 for part one) of a general review of Al Mohler's interview of Daniel Hummel, concerning his book, "The Rise and Fall of Dispensationalism." However, this episode is not a response to the interview as much as a positive overview of what dispensationalism actually is. There is a lot of confusion about what it is that makes or breaks dispensationalism. Bookman and Goeman propose that dispensationalism is identifiable primarily as a way of reading the Bible, not just a system of beliefs.
