Podcast appearances and mentions of Brian Fleming

Let's be honest: This whole Light of Motiram thing was shady from the get-go. A game that blatantly rips off Guerrilla's Horizon franchise, created by the publisher-and-developer combo that was later revealed to have unsuccessfully pitched Sony a Horizon spin-off beforehand? They call that 'dead to rights.' And now it's official, because Sony's lawsuit against Tencent over this facsimile has been dropped with prejudice, and the game has been delisted from Steam. That's a win for PlayStation, and an even bigger win for creativity in the AAA space. We discuss. Plus: Sucker Punch co-founder, long-time producer, and studio lead Brian Fleming is officially retiring from the team after 28 years, Bungie's Marathon is slated to come to PS5 in March, Hollow Knight: Silksong is getting a free nautical expansion in '26, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! Should we expect devs to lean more deeply into attractive characters? Do we think "made using AI" warnings will appear on games at some point in the near future? Who's to blame for Highguard's tepid response at The Game Awards? Is it strange if a wheelchair-bound listener wants to proudly wear a Stand Down shirt?

Send us a textHow do you turn life-shattering trauma into a powerful speaking career? Combat-wounded veteran Brian Fleming reveals the answer after surviving a suicide bomber attack in Afghanistan that left him with second and third-degree burns requiring 14 months of grueling recovery.The pivotal moment came when Fleming met a Vietnam veteran who showed him how personal pain could transform lives—including his own. Sixteen years later, Fleming has spoken to over half a million people, worked with Fortune 500 companies, and built a thriving career sharing his resilience strategies.What's surprising is Fleming's counterintuitive approach to storytelling. "One of the biggest mistakes new speakers make is that they talk about themselves," he explains. Instead, successful speakers position their experiences as solutions to problems their audiences desperately want solved. This shift in perspective transforms a personal story from self-focused to audience-focused, answering the two questions every listener silently asks: "Why does this person understand me?" and "Why should I listen to them?"Fleming breaks down his profitable speaking framework into three essential components: Problem (identify what pain your audience experiences), Promote (market yourself to the right decision-makers), and Present (deliver value that solves their problem). This approach works whether you have an extreme story like Fleming's or more common life experiences—the key is addressing problems your audience recognizes and hates.Ready to share your own story and get paid for it? Fleming offers a free Share Your Story Roadmap at useyourstory.com that shows how to make your first $500 speaking within 30 days.

Brian grew up thinking the most spiritual, closest people to God were missionaries and pastors. So that was his goal - to become a lead pastor. But Brian started noticing a trend in his personal experience - church was becoming more and more stressful and work was more and more life-giving.  This unexpected reality caused Brian to reconstruct his ideas of who and where God wanted him to be.

Adversity is one of the greatest forms of persistent resilience one could ever ask for. It helps to build up our character and our ability to reason when challenging times strike. One place where this is particularly evident is in the military. According to the Pew Research Center, one out of every ten veterans alive today was seriously injured at some point while serving in the military, and three-quarters of those injuries occurred in combat.   Brian Fleming is a combat-wounded war veteran who was injured by a suicide bomber in Afghanistan. He turned his injury into a highly profitable and influential speaking career and has been a professional speaker, author, and resilience trainer for over 17 years. He is the Founder of UseYourStory, where he shows other business-minded people how to make a difference and a side income by sharing their own stories at UseYourStory.com.   "After being severely injured by a suicide bomber who exploded 3 feet away from me in Kandahar, Afghanistan, I spent 14 months in a hospital undergoing painful burn treatments, reconstructive surgery, and brain injury rehabilitation. After leaving the military, I became an author & speaker because I wanted to help other people with the lessons I'd learned that helped me overcome my war injury. Over the past 17 years, I've spoken to over half a million people in live audiences globally, including the US military and several of the Fortune 500. I have written 4 books and have been featured on almost every major news network in America on the topic of resilience and how to stand firm when everything around you is blowing up! The greatest healing aspect of my recovery came through sharing my story because I saw it was helping other people and it also allowed me to be financially productive for my family.   For more information, visit https://www.useyourstory.com/.

On the latest episode of The Cyberlaw Podcast, guest host Brian Fleming, along with panelists Jane Bambauer, Gus Hurwitz, and Nate Jones, discuss the latest U.S. government efforts to protect sensitive personal data, including the FTC's lawsuit against data broker Kochava and the forthcoming executive order restricting certain bulk sensitive data flows to China and other countries of concern. Nate and Brian then discuss whether Congress has a realistic path to end the Section 702 reauthorization standoff before the April expiration and debate what to make of a recent multilateral meeting in London to discuss curbing spyware abuses. Gus and Jane then talk about the big news for cord-cutting sports fans, as well as Amazon's ad data deal with Reach, in an effort to understand some broader difficulties facing internet-based ad and subscription revenue models. Nate considers the implications of Ukraine's “defend forward” cyber strategy in its war against Russia. Jane next tackles a trio of stories detailing challenges, of the policy and economic varieties, facing Meta on the content moderation front, as well as an emerging problem policing sexual assaults in the Metaverse. Bringing it back to data, Gus wraps the news roundup by highlighting a novel FTC case brought against Blackbaud stemming from its data retention practices. In this week's quick hits, Gus and Jane reflect on the FCC's ban on AI-generated voice cloning in robocalls, Nate touches on an alert from CISA and FBI on the threat presented by Chinese hackers to critical infrastructure, Gus comments on South Korea's pause on implementation of its anti-monopoly platform act and the apparent futility of nudges (with respect to climate change attitudes or otherwise), and finally Brian closes with a few words on possible broad U.S. import restrictions on Chinese EVs and how even the abundance of mediocre AI-related ads couldn't ruin Taylor Swift's Super Bowl.   Download 491st Episode (mp3) You can subscribe to The Cyberlaw Podcast using iTunes, Google Play, Spotify, Pocket Casts, or our RSS feed.

In this episode we sit down with behavior consultant, Brian Fleming, to discuss his unique outlook on dog behavior, its complexity and the chaos that comes a long for the ride.

What does chaos theory have to do with dogs? Join us as we sit down with the charismatic and knowledgeable Brian Fleming, a dog behavior consultant and licensed Family Dog Mediator. Brian takes us on a journey from stability to disorder, unraveling how this intriguing concept applies to complex aggression cases in dogs. He brilliantly illustrates the role of reductionism and its importance in understanding dog behavior.The Aggression in Dogs ConferenceThe Bitey End of the Dog Bonus EpisodesThe Aggression in Dogs Master Course and Expert Webinar Bundle --- LIMITED TIME SPECIAL OFFERABOUT BRIAN:"I joined the Army right out of high school and served 6 years as a Military Police Officer in the Rhode Island National Guard. After that, I worked as an assistant trainer before branching off and working with dogs on my own. I'm always interested in continuing education, and I have completed the Aggression in Dogs Master Course, and the LEGS Applied Ethology Family Dog Mediation course, both of which have transformed how I view complex behavior cases. I grew a bad taste for dog behavior solutions that homogenized all dogs into simple input-output conditioning robots who just need more obedience training, I used those techniques, and they barely scratched the surface of the real issues dogs are facing. Thankfully I found a community of likeminded professionals who also want to look at the whole picture. I am currently working on educational offerings that I hope will benefit the applied ethology community. I specialize in complex cases and have been sought after by conferences and podcasts to speak on chaos theory & complexity in dog behavior cases.I have an Australian Shepherd named Nova, who sometimes assists with training. She is pretty cool."https://brianthebarkeologist.com/Support the show

The latest episode of The Cyberlaw Podcast was not created by chatbots (we swear!). Guest host Brian Fleming, along with guests Jay Healey, Maury Shenk, and Nick Weaver, discuss the latest news on the AI revolution including Google's efforts to protect its search engine dominance, a fascinating look at the websites that feed tools like ChatGPT (leading some on the panel to argue that quality over quantity should be goal), and a possible regulatory speed bump for total AI world domination, at least as far as the EU's General Data Privacy Regulation is concerned. Next, Jay lends some perspective on where we've been and where we're going with respect to cybersecurity by reflecting on some notable recent and upcoming anniversaries. The panel then discusses recent charges brought by the Justice Department, and two arrests, aimed at China's alleged attempt to harass dissidents living in the U.S. (including with fake social media accounts) and ponders how much of Russia's playbook China is willing to adopt. Nick and Brian then discuss the Securities and Exchange Commission's complaint against Bittrex and what it could portend for others in the crypto space and, more broadly, the future of crypto regulation and enforcement in the U.S. Maury then discusses the new EU-wide crypto regulations, and what the EU's approach to regulating this industry could mean going forward. The panel then takes a hard look at an alarming story out of Taiwan and debates what the recent “invisible blockade” on Matsu means for China's future designs on the island and Taiwan's ability to bolster the resiliency of its communications infrastructure. Finally, Nick covers a recent report on the Mexican government's continued reliance on Pegasus spyware. To wrap things up in the week's quick hits, Jay proposes updating the Insurrection Act to avoid its use as a justification for deploying military cyber capabilities against U.S. citizens, Nick discusses the dangers of computer generated swatting services, Brian highlights the recent Supreme Court argument that may settle whether online stalking is a “true threat” v. protected First Amendment activity, and, last but not least, Nick checks in on Elon Musk's threat to sue Microsoft after Twitter is dropped from its ad platform.

The latest episode of The Cyberlaw Podcast gets a bit carried away with the China spy balloon saga. Guest host Brian Fleming, along with guests Gus Hurwitz, Nate Jones, and Paul Rosenzweig, share insights (and bad puns) about the latest reporting on the electronic surveillance capabilities of the first downed balloon, the Biden administration's “shoot first, ask questions later” response to the latest “flying objects,” and whether we should all spend more time worrying about China's hackers and satellites. Gus then shares a few thoughts on the State of the Union address and the brief but pointed calls for antitrust and data privacy reform. Sticking with big tech and antitrust, Gus recaps a significant recent loss for the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and discusses what may be on the horizon for FTC enforcement later this year. Pivoting back to China, Nate and Paul discuss the latest reporting on a forthcoming (at some point) executive order intended to limit and track U.S. outbound investment in certain key aspects of China's tech sector. They also ponder how industry may continue its efforts to narrow the scope of the restrictions and whether Congress will get involved. Sticking with Congress, Paul takes the opportunity to explain the key takeaways from the not-so-bombshell House Oversight Committee hearing featuring former Twitter executives. Gus next describes his favorite ChatGPT jailbreaks and a costly mistake for an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot competitor during a demo. Paul recommends a fascinating interview with Sinbad.io, the new Bitcoin mixer of choice for North Korean hackers, and reflects on the substantial portion of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea's gross domestic product attributable to ransomware attacks. Finally, Gus questions whether AI-generated “Nothing, Forever” will need to change its name after becoming sentient and channeling Dave Chapelle. To wrap things up in the week's quick hits, Gus briefly highlights where things stand with Chip Wars: Japan edition and Brian covers coordinated U.S./UK sanctions against the Trickbot cybercrime group, confirmation that Twitter's sale will not be investigated by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), and the latest on Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) v.

The Cyberlaw Podcast kicks off 2023 by staring directly into the sun(set) of Section 702 authorization. The entire panel, including guest host Brian Fleming and guests Michael Ellis  and David Kris, debates where things could be headed this year as the clock is officially ticking on FISA Section 702 reauthorization. Although there is agreement that a straight reauthorization is unlikely in today's political environment, the ultimate landing spot for Section 702 is very much in doubt and a “game of chicken” will likely precede any potential deal. Everything seems to be in play, as this reauthorization battle could result in meaningful reform or a complete car crash come this time next year. Sticking with Congress, Michael also reacts to President Biden's recent bipartisan call to action regarding “Big Tech” and ponders where Republicans and Democrats could potentially find agreement on an issue everyone seems to agree on (for very different reasons). The panel also discusses the timing of President Biden's OpEd in the Wall Street Journal and debates whether it is intended as a challenge to the Republican-controlled House to act rather than simply increase oversight on the tech industry.  David then introduces a fascinating story about the bold recent action by the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) to bring suit against Covington & Burling LLP to enforce an administrative subpoena seeking disclosure of the firm's clients implicated in a 2020 cyberattack by Chinese state-sponsored group, Hafnium. David posits that the SEC knows exactly what it is doing by taking such aggressive action in the face of strong resistance, and the panel discusses whether the SEC may have already won by attempting to protect its burgeoning piece of turf in the U.S. government cybersecurity enforcement landscape. Brian then turns to the crypto regulatory and enforcement space to discuss Coinbase's recent settlement with New York's Department of Financial Services. Rather than signal another crack in the foundation of the once high-flying crypto industry, Brian offers that this may just be routine growing pains for a maturing industry that is more like the traditional banking sector, from a regulatory and compliance standpoint, than it may have wanted to believe. Then, in the China portion of the episode, Michael discusses the latest news on the establishment of reverse Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), and suggests it may still be some time before this tool gets finalized (even as the substantive scope appears to be shrinking). Next, Brian discusses a recent D.C. Circuit decision which upheld the Federal Communication Commission's decision to rescind the license of China Telecom at the recommendation of the executive branch agencies known as Team Telecom (Department of Justice, Department of Defense, and Department of Homeland Security). This important, first-of-its-kind decision reinforces the role of Team Telecom as an important national security gatekeeper for U.S. telecommunications infrastructure. Finally, David highlights an interesting recent story about an FBI search of an apparent Chinese police outpost in New York and ponders what it would mean to negotiate with and be educated by undeclared Chinese law enforcement agents in a foreign country. In a few updates and quick hits: Brian updates listeners on the U.S. government's continuing efforts to win multilateral support from key allies for tough new semiconductor export controls targeting China. Michael picks up the thread on the Twitter Files release and offers his quick take on what it says about ReleaseTheMemo.   And, last but not least, Brian discusses the unsurprising (according the Stewart) decision by the Supreme Court of the United States to allow WhatsApp's spyware suit against NSO Group to continue.

The Cyberlaw Podcast leads with the legal cost of Elon Musk's anti-authoritarian takeover of Twitter. Turns out that authority figures have a lot of weapons, many grounded in law, and Twitter is at risk of being on the receiving end of those weapons. Brian Fleming explores the apparently unkillable notion that the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S. (CFIUS) should review Musk's Twitter deal because of a relatively small share that went to investors with Chinese and Persian Gulf ties. It appears that CFIUS may still be seeking information on what Twitter data those investors will have access to, but I am skeptical that CFIUS will be moved to act on what it learns. More dangerous for Twitter and Musk, says Charles-Albert Helleputte, is the possibility that the company will lose its one-stop-shop privacy regulator for failure to meet the elaborate compliance machinery set up by European privacy bureaucrats. At a quick calculation, that could expose Twitter to fines up to 120% of annual turnover. Finally, I reprise my skeptical take on all the people leaving Twitter for Mastodon as a protest against Musk allowing the Babylon Bee and President Trump back on the platform. If the protestors really think Mastodon's system is better, I recommend that Twitter adopt it, or at least the version that Francis Fukuyama and Roberta Katz have described. If you are looking for the far edge of the Establishment's Overton Window on China policy, you will not do better than the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission, a consistently China-skeptical but mainstream body. Brian reprises the Commission's latest report. The headline, we conclude, is about Chinese hacking, but the recommendations does not offer much hope of a solution to that problem, other than more decoupling.  Chalk up one more victory for Trump-Biden continuity, and one more loss for the State Department. Michael Ellis reminds us that the Trump administration took much of Cyber Command's cyber offense decision making out of the National Security Council and put it back in the Pentagon. This made it much harder for the State Department to stall cyber offense operations. When it turned out that this made Cyber Command more effective and no more irresponsible, the Biden Administration prepared to ratify Trump's order, with tweaks. I unpack Google's expensive (nearly $400 million) settlement with 40 States over location history. Google's promise to stop storing location history if the feature was turned off was poorly and misleadingly drafted, but I doubt there is anyone who actually wanted to keep Google from using location for most of the apps where it remained operative, so the settlement is a good deal for the states, and a reminder of how unpopular Silicon Valley has become in red and blue states. Michael tells the doubly embarrassing story of an Iranian hack of the U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board. It is embarrassing to be hacked with a log4j exploit that should have been patched. But it is worse when an Iranian government hacker gets access to a U.S. government network—and decided that the access is only good for mining cryptocurrency.  Brian tells us that the U.S. goal of reshoring chip production is making progress, with Apple planning to use TSMC chips from a new fab in Arizona.  In a few updates and quick hits: I remind listeners that a lot of tech companies are laying employees off, but that overall Silicon Valley employment is still way up over the past couple of years. I give a lick and a promise to the mess at cryptocurrency exchange FTX, which just keeps getting worse. Charles updates us on the next U.S.-E.U. adequacy negotiations, and the prospects for Schrems 3 (and 4, and 5) litigation. And I sound a note of both admiration and caution about Australia's plan to “unleash the hounds” – in the form of its own Cyber Command equivalent – on ransomware gangs. As U.S. experience reveals, it makes for a great speech, but actual impact can be hard to achieve.

It's been a jam-packed week of cyberlaw news, but the big debate of the episode is triggered by the White House blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights. I've just released a long post about the campaign to end “AI bias” in general, and the blueprint in particular. In my view, the bill of rights will end up imposing racial and gender (and intersex!) quotas on a vast swath of American life. Nick Weaver argues that AI is in fact a source of secondhand racism and sexism, something that will not be fixed until we do a better job of forcing the algorithm to explain how it arrives at the outcomes it produces. We do not agree on much, but we do agree that lack of explainability is a big problem for the new technology. President Biden has issued an executive order meant to resolve the U.S.-EU spat over transatlantic data flows. At least for a few years, until the anti-American EU Court of Justice finds it wanting again. Nick and I explore some of the mechanics. I think it's bad for the privacy of U.S. persons and for the comprehensibility of U.S. intelligence reports, but the judicial system the order creates is cleverly designed to discourage litigant grandstanding. Matthew Heiman covers the biggest CISO, or chief information security officer, news of the week, the month, and the year—the criminal conviction of Uber's CSO, Joe Sullivan, for failure to disclose a data breach to the Federal Trade Commission. He is less surprised by the verdict than others, but we agree that it will change the way CISO's do their job and relate to their fellow corporate officers. Brian Fleming joins us to cover an earthquake in U.S.-China tech trade—the sweeping new export restrictions on U.S. chips and technology. This will be a big deal for all U.S. tech companies, we agree, and probably a disaster for them in the long run if U.S. allies don't join the party.  I go back to dig a little deeper on two cases we covered with just a couple of hours' notice last week—the Supreme Court's grant of review in two cases touching on Big Tech's liability for hosting the content of terror groups. It turns out that only one of the cases is likely to turn on Section 230. That's Google's almost laughable claim that holding YouTube liable for recommending terrorist videos is holding it liable as a publisher. The other case will almost certainly turn on when distribution of terrorist content can be punished as “material assistance” to terror groups. Brian walks us through the endless negotiations between TikTok and the U.S. over a security deal. We are both puzzled over the partisanization of TikTok security, although I suggest a reason why that might be happening.   Matthew catches us up on a little-covered Russian hack and leak operation aimed at former MI6 boss Richard Dearlove and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Matthew gives Dearlove's security awareness a low grade. Finally, two updates:  Nick catches us up on the Elon Musk-Twitter fight. Nick's gloating now, but he is sure he'll be booted off the platform when Musk takes over. And I pass on some very unhappy feedback from a friend at the Election Integrity Partnership (EIP), who feels we were too credulous in commenting on a JustTheNews story that left a strong impression of unseemly cooperation in suppressing election integrity misinformation. The EIP's response makes several good points in its own defense, but I remain concerned that the project as a whole raises real concerns about how tightly Silicon Valley embraced the suppression of speech “delegitimizing” election results.

It's been a jam-packed week of cyberlaw news, but the big debate of the episode is triggered by the White House blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights. I've just released a long post about the campaign to end “AI bias” in general, and the blueprint in particular. In my view, the bill of rights will end up imposing racial and gender (and intersex!) quotas on a vast swath of American life.

This is our return-from-hiatus episode. Jordan Schneider kicks things off by recapping passage of a major U.S. semiconductor-building subsidy bill, while new contributor Brian Fleming talks with Nick Weaver about new regulatory investment restrictions and new export controls on (artificial Intelligence (AI) chips going to China. Jordan also covers a big corruption scandal arising from China's big chip-building subsidy program, leading me to wonder when we'll have our version. Brian and Nick cover the month's biggest cryptocurrency policy story, the imposition of OFAC sanctions on Tornado Cash. They agree that, while the outer limits of sanctions aren't entirely clear, they are likely to show that sometimes the U.S. Code actually does trump the digital version. Nick points listeners to his bracing essay, OFAC Around and Find Out. Paul Rosenzweig reprises his role as the voice of reason in the debate over location tracking and Dobbs. (Literally. Paul and I did an hour-long panel on the topic last week. It's available here.) I reprise my role as Chief Privacy Skeptic, calling the Dobb/location fuss an overrated tempest in a teapot. Brian takes on one aspect of the Mudge whistleblower complaint about Twitter security: Twitter's poor record at keeping foreign spies from infiltrating its workforce and getting unaudited access to its customer records. In a coincidence, he notes, a former Twitter employee was just convicted of “spying lite”, proves it's as good at national security as it is at content moderation. Meanwhile, returning to U.S.-China economic relations, Jordan notes the survival of high-level government concerns about TikTok. I note that, since these concerns first surfaced in the Trump era, TikTok's lobbying efforts have only grown more sophisticated. Speaking of which, Klon Kitchen has done a good job of highlighting DJI's increasingly sophisticated lobbying in Washington D.C. The Cloudflare decision to deplatform Kiwi Farms kicks off a donnybrook, with Paul and Nick on one side and me on the other. It's a classic Cyberlaw Podcast debate.  In quick hits and updates: Nick and I cover the sad story of the Dad who photographed his baby's private parts at a doctor's request and, thanks to Google's lack of human appellate review, lost his email, his phone number, and all of the accounts that used the phone for 2FA.  Paul brings us up to speed on the U.S.-EU data fight: and teases tomorrow's webinar on the topic. Nick explains the big changes likely to come to the pornography world because of a lawsuit against Visa. And why Twitter narrowly averted its own child sex scandal.  I note that Google's bias against GOP fundraising emails has led to an unlikely result: less spam filtering for all such emails.  And, after waiting too long, Brian Krebs retracts the post about a Ubiquity “breach” that led the company to sue him.

Brian Fleming is an inspiring military keynote speaker. He is a combat-wounded Afghanistan war veteran, international speaker, and resilience trainer who helps people be more resilient in tough, turbulent situations. He was severely wounded in action by a suicide bomber who exploded 3-feet away from him in Kandahar, Afghanistan and now he teaches strategies for overcoming unexpected challenges.

Brian Fleming served as an Infantrymen in the storied 10th Mountain Division of the US Army in Afghanistan. While on patrol his HUMVEE was blown up when it hit a buried IED. Miraculously he walked away from that explosion. He wasn't so lucky though when another HUMVEE he was in was blown up by a suicide bomber. Being blown up gave Brian a new purpose though, to help others understand that we are all blown up in some way. And while your battles and wounds may not be from the battlefields of war, they are no less severe. Brian is the author of four books including the acclaimed 'Redeployed' and you can find his books and story at:www.blownupguy.comwww.truthtalks.comCopyright 2022 Truth Talks Media LLC., All Rights Reserved

Nearly everyone's life has been touched by addiction. It could be your addiction or a family member or a friend. Recovery programs are primarily faith-based, but there are secular options. In this RfRx event, we will compare and contrast secular evidence-based addiction recovery, such as SMART Recovery, with faith-based addiction recovery, such as Alcoholics Anonymous. Brian is a 5-year volunteer with Recovering from Religion serving in various ways including Helpline Agent, Resource Curator, Volunteer Interviewer, and RfR Support Group Facilitator in Nashville. Brian has also volunteered for 5 years with SMART Recovery as a Support Group Facilitator and Tennessee Regional Coordinator. Thes volunteer roles at RfR and SMART are peer support and Brian is not a professional expert in either area. As a trained and experienced meeting facilitator, however, Brian will lead a mock SMART Recovery meeting with vigorous discussion although without giving professional advice. Hosted by Eric Wells, the RfR Support Group Director and Medlin Nolasco, RfR Helpline volunteer & RfRx Social Host. Recorded on April the 12th, 2021 https://smartrecovery.org For RfRx comments, inquiries & topical questions, email us at RfRx@recoveringfromreligion.org. Any time you are struggling with religious doubts or fears you can connect with a trained RfR Helpline agent 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. To chat online go to http://www.recoveringfromreligion.org. To talk over the phone, dial: (844) 368-2848 in the US & Canada If you are in need of professional help, we can offer the Secular Therapy Project to provide options to connect with a professional therapist. All therapists have been thoroughly vetted by our organization and offer only evidence-based and non-religious treatment. Connect with them at http://www.seculartherapy.org.

How do you maintain focus, determination, poise, and resilience when everything around you is blowing up?Suicide bomb survivor, Combat Veteran, Author, and Global Speaker on Resilience, Brian Fleming, joins me to discuss exactly this.

Brian Fleming is a Purple Heart recipient who served the American Army while fighting the war in Afghanistan. His vehicle was blown up twice when a suicide bomber exploded 3 feet away, outside his window. Following 14 months of burn treatments, reconstructive surgery, and rehabilitation, Brian has proven to be an epic comeback story as he has rebuilt his life as an author and speaker on human resilience. Now his mission is to help couples save and enhance their marriages.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
