God is the author and creator of our gender, yet culture is waging a spiritual assault against God's image in humanity. In episode six of "God's Image in Man", Duane Sheriff confronts this confusion by establishing the biblical foundation of gender as an essential part of God's divine design. The creation of male and female was intentional, ordered, and purposeful—woven into creation before sin and foundational to the institution of marriage itself.Understanding that humanity was created male and female is central to understanding what it means to bear God's image. When this truth is distorted, the attack is not merely cultural or political—it is spiritual. Scripture makes clear that gender is not a social construct or personal decision, but part of God's original, pre-fall design. From the beginning, God created humanity male and female, and together they reflect His image, order, and wisdom.Click for FREE offer ➡️ https://pastorduane.com/landing/gods-image-in-man

The first and primary attribute of God's image in humanity is to take dominion. In episode five of "God's Image in Man", Duane Sheriff teaches that, as image-bearers of God, humanity has been entrusted with dominion, sovereignty, and the authority to rule and reign on earth. Matthew 18:18 and Revelation 5:10 state that we have the ability to bind and loose, to reign as kings and priests. By grace through faith, Christians are called to take authority over sin, sickness, their families, and society.When we fail to exercise righteous dominion—whether in our homes, communities, and nation—the image of God in us becomes distorted. Stop making excuses, stop playing the victim, and take personal responsibility through faith. God cannot override our free will, as doing so would violate His image in us. We are called to fight the good fight of faith, choose life over death, and partner with God to bring His kingdom to earth as it is in heaven.Click for FREE offer ➡️ https://pastorduane.com/landing/gods-image-in-man

Before God ever gave humanity a command, He gave us an assignment—to rule and reign in the earth. In episode four of “God's Image In Man,” Duane Sheriff addresses the critical difference between what God allows and what God wills. He explains that God's sovereignty is revealed not by controlling every outcome, but by granting humanity free will and delegated authority. When God gave Adam dominion, He bound Himself to that covenant—and God cannot break His word.The problems in our world do not flow from God's will, but from a failure to understand and exercise God-given dominion. This truth transforms how believers view suffering, injustice, and life's challenges. We were never meant to live as passive victims waiting on God to act. We have been given authority to rule over sin, darkness, and Satan—not over one another. When this truth is restored, responsibility replaces blame, and believers are empowered to walk in the authority God placed in their hands.Click for FREE offer ➡️ https://pastorduane.com/landing/gods-image-in-man

Two men changed the destiny of every human being—Adam and Jesus. In Part 3 of Godliness – The Gospel Scheme, Duane Sheriff teaches the mystery of godliness by exploring the connection between the first Adam and the last Adam. Adam, the first man, brought sin, death, and spiritual separation into the world through his disobedience, losing the dominion God originally entrusted to mankind.But God's answer was another Man. Jesus, the second man and last Adam, came as God in the flesh through the virgin birth, bypassing the sin nature passed on through human fathers. Creator God, in human form, reclaimed the dominion Adam lost through His perfect obedience, death, and resurrection.Salvation is not achieved through human effort but is received through the new birth in Christ. Millions of believers now carry Christ's life and authority on earth. Adam brought the fall—but Jesus brought the comeback. Through faith in Christ, we move from defeat to dominion, from brokenness to victory, and from death into the life God intended from the beginning.

Before sin ever entered the world, God gave humanity dominion over creation. This divine design means every person was created to win, overcome, and walk in victory—not to live as victims or losers. In episode three of "God's Image In Man," Duane Sheriff teaches that one of the first and most foundational attributes of God's image in humanity is dominion. While the earth belongs to the Lord, He has entrusted mankind with stewardship and delegated authority within it.Understanding our identity as image-bearers with dominion transforms how believers approach life's challenges, parenting, and purpose in the world. This truth explains why losing feels unnatural and why something within us resists a victim mindset. We were created to overcome, to prevail, and to walk in authority—not as owners of the earth, but as faithful stewards under God's sovereignty.When this truth is misunderstood, people blame God for chaos He never authored. But when identity is restored, responsibility is reclaimed. You were not created to collapse under life—you were created to rule in righteousness.Click for FREE offer ➡️ https://pastorduane.com/landing/gods-image-in-man

One of the biggest myths in the running world is that you can't run with Achilles pain.

In this episode, I break down: - Why total rest can make Achilles tendinopathy worse - The real reason your pain keeps coming back - The 3 signs it's SAFE to run with Achilles pain - The difference between insertional vs midportion Achilles tendinopathy - How to modify running without making your symptoms worse - The exact strengthening principles that rebuild tendon capacity - When you actually SHOULD stop running You'll also hear real runner success stories from inside our Healthy Runner community who went from fearing their running days were over… to rebuilding strength and returning to racing pain free. If you're wondering: Can I run with Achilles tendonitis? Is it safe to run with Achilles pain? How do I heal without completely shutting it down? This episode gives you the clarity and structure you need. Because tendons don't heal from avoidance. They heal from smart, progressive loading.

Every person is created in the image and likeness of God, carrying within themselves the spark of God's breath. In episode two of "God's Image In Man," Duane Sheriff teaches that being created in God's image is the foundation of our identity, worth, and purpose. We bear the divine image as both a reflection and a representation of God—created as image bearers of the living God.Although sin damages and distorts God's image in humanity, salvation through Jesus Christ restores it. Restoring God's image is a primary purpose of salvation, making us a new creation in Christ. In Christ, the righteousness of God renews the image that defines our humanity, value, and worth. This truth explains why all human life is sacred and why Satan relentlessly attacks identity because God's image in man reveals our purpose, authority, and destiny.Click for FREE offer ➡️ https://pastorduane.com/landing/gods-image-in-man

Welcome to Orange Talk, a Bayou City Soccer Podcast segment! In this episode, we catch up with Duane Holmes to reflect on the emotions of his Houston home opener against Chicago — from the early adrenaline and a quick yellow card to adjusting in a role fans may not be used to seeing him in. Holmes shares how he settled into the match, felt the game shift in his favor, and managed heavy minutes after a delayed start last season, including those exhausting final stretches. We also explore the human side of stepping into a role previously held by fan favorite Griffin Dorsey — the pressure, the expectations, and the stylistic differences he brings to the pitch. Finally, Holmes dives into what it was like playing in front of the home crowd at Shell Energy Stadium, the energy from the stands, and whether he feeds off that noise or blocks it out.-We invite you to follow us at Bayou City Soccer!-BayouCitySoccer.net-@BayouCitySoccer on Facebook, IG, and Twitter-Hit us up using our hashtag #AskBCS-Hosts: Dustyn Richardson-Again, BayouCitySoccer.net for everything.

Being made in God's image isn't something we put on—it is the core of who we are and what it truly means to be human. We are image bearers of God, the crown jewel of all creation, carrying within us a spark of the divine that separates us from everything else God has created. In the new series, “God's Image In Man," Duane Sheriff teaches that sin shattered that mirror, distorting and damaging God's image in humanity, but through faith in Jesus and the transformative power of the cross, God's image can be restored.Understanding what it means to be created in God's image and likeness brings clarity to today's cultural confusion, restores the sacred value of human life, and equips parents and grandparents to ground their children in truth - even as society relentlessly attacks identity and value. When God's image is restored, identity becomes clear, purpose is awakened, and being human makes sense again.Click for FREE offer ➡️ https://pastorduane.com/landing/gods-image-in-man

Episode 441 | The “Fun Instructor” Problem: How to Keep Culture Consistent Across Staff Podcast Description In Episode 441 of School Owner Talk, Duane Brumitt and Shihan Allie Alberigo dig into a problem that quietly wrecks culture in a lot of schools: when expectations change depending on who's teaching. You've seen it. One instructor has kids lined up, focused, and respectful. Another instructor has kids talking over them, climbing on them, and pushing boundaries. Then the owner walks in, corrects it, and suddenly you're the “bad guy.” This episode breaks down why that “fun instructor” dynamic isn't really about fun—it's about inconsistency. Duane and Allie share practical ways to protect your standards without killing the vibe: non-negotiables, class “formatting,” coaching frameworks like friendly, firm, and fair, and what to do when an instructor (or a family) simply won't align. Key Takeaways This isn't anti-fun. Fun is necessary. The problem is when “fun” turns into unclear boundaries and mixed expectations. Kids don't follow rules—they follow patterns. If standards change by instructor, students learn to test the room. Inconsistency creates a subculture. Over time you end up with “two schools in one,” which confuses parents and hurts retention. Most “fun instructor” issues come from avoidable causes: wanting to be liked, avoiding conflict, unclear standards, lack of training, and no shared scripts. A simple coaching framework helps: Duane's “3 F's” for staff—friendly, firm, and fair. Standards have to be visible and enforced. Small details (bowing correctly, line-up, yes sir/no sir, sitting posture) create the bigger culture. Parents often won't help with standards unless you make it easy—and enforce it. If you don't hold the line, the standard becomes optional. Systems beat speeches. Duane shares how he uses “responsibility strikes” with automated parent communication to reinforce preparedness. Sometimes it's not fixable. If you've trained, coached, and supported an instructor and they still won't operate inside the framework, you may need to let them go. Action Steps for School Owners Define the real problem in one sentence. It's not “my instructor is too fun.” It's: standards change depending on who's teaching. Pick 3–5 non-negotiables for the next 30–90 days. Keep it tight and specific. Examples from the episode: How students line up How students bow (respectful bow, not sloppy) Yes sir / no sir (or your school's equivalent) Sitting posture standards Eye contact / attention stance Standardize your class “formatting.” Allie compares this to coding: if you leave holes, the whole system breaks. Decide how students enter, sit, line up, transition, and reset—then teach it the same way every class. Train your staff on a shared behavior framework. Use Duane's “friendly, firm, and fair” as a simple coaching language: Friendly (not their friend) Firm (clear boundaries) Fair (consistent standards) Fix “huddling” and “hovering.” Duane's rule: assistants shouldn't cluster together. Place staff on opposite ends of the room (or corners) so the whole class is covered. Create a real follow-through system for responsibility. Duane's example: responsibility strikes within a testing cycle (with parent communication each time). Whether you copy that exact system or not, the principle is the same: standards must have consequences. Coach privately, not publicly—and use video when possible. Video review removes emotion and shows what's actually happening. Give tools and scripts, not vague criticism. Get staff buy-in by involving them. Duane's suggestion: ask instructors to write down 10 non-negotiables, then discuss as a team and agree on the top 5–10 to run for the next quarter. Ask the “same school” question. If a parent watched three different classes with three different instructors this week… would it feel like the same program? Know when it's time to part ways. If an instructor won't align with the culture after coaching and support, letting them go protects your sanity, your staff, and your student body. Additional Resources Mentioned “Friendly, firm, and fair” (Duane's staff coaching framework) Class “formatting” (Allie's term for standardizing transitions, posture, and protocols) Responsibility strikes vs. attitude strikes (Duane's standards + accountability system) Huddling and hovering (Duane's terms for staff clustering instead of covering the room) Core principle: “Your culture is whatever you allow repeatedly.”

Join two 25-year veterans representing the elder justice profession as they provide an overview of the troubling trends they have seen with the burgeoning problem of elder abuse. Their focus will be on financial exploitation—perpetrated by a broad spectrum of offenders, including strangers and people known to their older targets.  The presenters will also address key challenges and threats to the physical and financial safety of older people, including the proposed dismantling of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and its Office for Older Americans, along with other concerning issues at the federal, state and local level that are leaving thousands of older people at the mercy of financial predators. Topics will include financial grooming (a.k.a. “pig-butchering”), crypto scams, romance scams, and the growth of transnational crime rings that are targeting American seniors to the tune of billions in losses. About the Speakers Jenefer Duane is an elder justice advocate and consultant. Duane is a former senior program analyst in the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's (CFPB) Office for Older Americans. With 40 years in aging services and consumer protection, she specializes in prevention, response, investigation, prosecution and resolution of cases of elder financial exploitation. At the CFPB, she led the development of the national Elder Financial Protection and Response Network program. She was the agency lead for the award-winning Money Smart for Older Adults program with the FDIC. She also led several CFPB-FinCin initiatives to strengthen the suspicious-activity reporting and investigation of elder financial exploitation.  Paul Greenwood is a former deputy district attorney and an AARP consultant. Greenwood headed up the Elder Abuse Prosecution Unit at the San Diego DA's Office for 22 years. In 1999 California Lawyer magazine named Paul as one of their top 20 lawyers of the year in recognition of his pioneering efforts to pursue justice on behalf of senior citizens. He has prosecuted more than 750 felony cases of physical, sexual, emotional and financial elder abuse. He has also prosecuted 10 murder cases, including one death penalty case. In March 2018 Greenwood retired from the San Diego DA's office to concentrate on sharing lessons learned from his elder abuse prosecutions with a wider audience. In October 2018 he was given a lifetime achievement award by his former office. Greenwood now spends much of his post retirement time speaking on behalf of AARP nationally, consulting on elder abuse cases, testifying as an expert witness and providing trainings to law enforcement and Adult Protective Services agencies across the country and internationally.

God's plan of redemption was a divine design strategically concealed throughout the ages and unveiled in Jesus. In Part Two of “Godliness – The Gospel Scheme,” Duane Sheriff unveils the mystery of godliness by focusing on the first and foundational truth of the gospel: God manifest in the flesh. This mystery, once hidden, is now fulfilled as Christ entered our humanity.God did not remain distant from His creation—He entered humanity through Christ to restore what was lost and fulfill the gospel scheme hidden for generations. Through the virgin birth, the cross, and the resurrection, Jesus accomplished what no mere man could do, defeating sin and reclaiming authority for mankind. Christ became part of our humanity so we could share in His righteousness and life.As believers grasp this revelation, they come to recognize their identity as members of Christ's body on earth, empowered by the Holy Spirit to fulfill God's purpose. Godliness is no longer just doctrine—it becomes a living reality through Christ in you.

440 | What's Your School Known For? (And Why That Matters More Than Your Ads) Podcast Description In Episode 440 of School Owner Talk, Duane Brumitt and Shihan Allie Alberigo tackle a question that sounds simple—but quietly determines how easy (or hard) it is to grow your school: What is your school known for in your town? Because here's the truth: better ads don't fix a fuzzy identity. Ads amplify what already exists. So if your message is unclear, your marketing just spreads that lack of clarity faster—and you end up attracting the wrong families, competing on price, or feeling like you're pushing a boulder uphill. Duane and Allie break down the three main “buckets” schools fall into (transformation, community, performance), how to figure out which one you should lead with, and a practical “20-minute clarity exercise” to help you define your message, back it up with proof, and run it consistently. Key Takeaways Ads amplify what's already there. If your message is fuzzy, your ads spread fuzz faster. Being “known for” isn't your style or your art. It's the shortcut story parents tell about you. Don't be a “wandering generality.” Duane references Zig Ziglar: you want to be a meaningful specific. Most schools fit into three buckets: Transformation (confidence, focus, leadership, behavior) Community (belonging, family vibe, culture) Performance (competition, high-level skill, athletic results) You can deliver all three, but you can't market all three equally. Pick one to lead with, then drill into it. Clarity helps you “sift, sort, and screen” the right families—and repel the wrong fit. Your testimonials and reviews tell you the truth. Listen for repeated words and themes that show what people actually value. Your message must match your culture. If your staff behavior and teaching style don't align with what you claim to be known for, your brand becomes confusing. Consistency wins. Changing your message every month trains your community to ignore you. Action Steps for School Owners Ask 10 parents what your school is known for. Don't lead them. Just ask: “What are we known for?” Then listen for patterns. Ask 3–5 people in the community who don't train with you. Wear your apparel, ask politely, and treat it like research: “Have you heard of our school? What have you heard?” (Duane even suggests a small thank-you gift card.) Choose your primary bucket: transformation, community, or performance. You can still deliver all three, but decide what you want to lead with. Run the 20-minute clarity exercise. Step 1: Gather the wins. Pull your best texts, emails, reviews, and success stories. Step 2: Circle repeated words/themes. (Or use AI to help spot patterns.) Step 3: Pick one primary promise. Example: “We build confident kids” or “We forge future leaders.” Step 4: Pick one proof. Choose one real thing that makes the promise believable: a system, a ritual, a program, a story, or a measurable result. Turn it into one messaging sentence—and put it everywhere. Use it on your website, in your intro script, in your first 30 days of parent communication, and in staff language. Make it part of your weekly rhythm. Duane's example: “How are we forging future leaders this week?” Then tie that identity to what each program is focusing on. Audit for brand mismatch. If you're a transformational school but your teaching style feels like a Navy SEAL bootcamp—or you're a performance school but your culture is goofy and unstructured—the disconnect will cost you retention. Run it consistently for a few months before you tweak it. Don't change your identity every time you get bored. Let it resonate with staff and families. Additional Resources Mentioned Zig Ziglar: “Don't be a wandering generality. Be a meaningful specific.” Joe Polish / Genius Network: “Sift, sort, and screen” (attract the right people, repel the wrong fit). Examples of performance-first schools: Herb Perez (performance-led identity, while still delivering transformation/community). Messaging example from Duane: “We are forging future leaders.” Parent perception training: Helping parents learn how to “see” confidence, focus, and leadership on the floor (credit mentioned: Kenrik Cleaveland).

In this episode of The Addicted Mind, Duane speaks with Dr. Nima Rahmani, a former chiropractor turned emotional health educator. Dr. Nima shares his profound journey from "success on paper" to a total relational breakdown that forced him to confront his own deep-seated patterns of anxious attachment and fawning.They dive deep into the concept of becoming "trigger-proof," the hidden cost of people-pleasing, and why "shame alchemization" is the secret to a truly authentic life. Whether you are struggling with addiction, burnout, or toxic relationship cycles, this episode offers a roadmap for moving from unconscious reactivity to conscious leadership.Key Topics & Chapters[01:32] The Wake-Up Call: Dr. Nima discusses how a crisis in his personal life and a brush with the legal system forced him to look past his professional success and address his defensive reactivity.[03:54] The Cost of Fawning: A breakdown of the "Fawn" response—how suppressing your truth to appease others creates a "bottomless pit" of resentment and physical inflammation.[10:14] Defining the Fawn Response: Dr. Nima provides a powerful analogy of how children learn to appease "predators" (caregivers) to survive, and how that evolves into a destructive adult relationship strategy.[14:41] Somatic Impact: Exploring the link between unresolved emotional wounds, fawning, and chronic physical issues like autoimmune diseases and inflammation.[21:00] Loving the Shadow: Why true self-love isn't about liking your "best" parts, but about "unshaming" the parts of yourself you've tried to kill off or hide.[27:12] Success vs. Intimacy: Why high-achieving entrepreneurs often crush it in business but fail in relationships, and how the "push energy" of success can actually block emotional safety.[47:26] The Worthiness Inquiry: Dr. Nima shares a foundational question for listeners: "I am only worthy of love when..."[52:00] The Heartbeat Realization: A moving story about hearing his son's heartbeat and rediscovering the concept of inherent worthiness.Key Quotes"Shame alchemization is the secret to being a human... finding these embarrassing, unacceptable parts of us and really looking to understand them." — Dr. Nima Rahmani"Fawning is when you freeze a part of you in an interaction... you freeze your truth and then you perform niceness." — Dr. Nima Rahmani"One size fits all is not real. It's not real for baseball caps, and it's not real for recovery plans." — Dr. Nima Rahmani (Note: This is a callback to the theme of individualized healing)"The path to self-love is really about loving your shadow." — Dr. Nima RahmaniUnderstanding the Survival ResponsesTo better understand where "Fawning" fits into our biological safety system, it helps to see it alongside the more commonly known stress responses:Fight: Aggression and boundary-setting.Flight: Avoiding or escaping the threat.Freeze: Numbing out or becoming paralyzed.Fawn: Appeasing the threat to ensure safety.Resources MentionedThe Attachment Style Quiz: Discover if you are anxious, avoidant, or disorganized.

As believers, we are called to be stewards of God's mysteries, training ourselves in godliness with the same discipline an athlete trains their body. In “Godliness – The Gospel Scheme,” Duane Sheriff lays the foundation for understanding one of Christianity's most profound truths: the mystery of godliness. This mystery encompasses the entire gospel scheme—God's divine plan, once hidden in Him and now revealed to those who seek Him.Godliness is not a religious activity but a living connection to the power of the gospel. Drawing on 1 Timothy 3:16, Duane reveals how this mystery unfolds in six powerful movements: God manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen by angels, preached among the nations, believed on in the world, and received up into glory. Each phrase connects us to Christ's life, death, burial, resurrection, and ascension—releasing supernatural power.When we understand this mystery, godliness becomes more than effort—we experience the full power of the gospel that breaks addictions, transforms hearts, and makes us a blessing everywhere we go.

Episode 439 | Dealing With Difficult Students (and Getting Parents on Board) Podcast Description In Episode 439 of School Owner Talk, Duane Brumitt and Shihan Allie Alberigo get real about a problem every martial arts school owner faces sooner or later: the “difficult student” who can derail a class. They break down what “difficult” actually looks like (disruptive, defiant, unsafe, emotionally dysregulated, attention-seeking), why it's rarely about a “bad kid,” and how consistency, structure, and clear non-negotiables protect your school culture. Just as important, they talk about the parent side of the equation—how to bring parents into the process without shaming them, how to keep conversations factual and team-based, and when it's time to admit you're not equipped to help every student. Key Takeaways “Difficult” is a behavior category, not a personality label. Focus on what the student is doing (disruptive, defiant, unsafe, shutting down, attention-seeking) instead of branding them as “a problem kid.” Behavior is communication. A meltdown, tears, or acting out often points to unmet needs, unclear boundaries, skill gaps, or what happened before they walked in the door. Consistency is everything. When instructors enforce standards differently (or threaten consequences and don't follow through), kids stop believing boundaries are real. Protect the culture with non-negotiables. Safety and respect aren't optional. The class can't be held hostage by one student. Use simple, calm corrections—and reset fast. Direct, low-emotion corrections work better than yelling. After a correction, look for a quick “win” to get the student back on track. Don't reward disruption with attention. Some behaviors repeat because they reliably earn attention (even negative attention). Reward the behavior you want repeated. Parents matter more than they think (especially early on). In the first few classes, kids often watch their parent for approval more than they watch the instructor. Coach parents on what to do during class. Instead of “the eye-pointing focus gesture,” Duane recommends parents simply smile and give a thumbs up—then praise effort, not technique. Have standards—and be willing to follow through. A clear policy (including when a student may need a break or be discontinued) protects your staff, students, and brand. Action Steps for School Owners Define “difficult” for your team (in writing). Use a shared list: disruptive, defiant, unsafe, emotional shutdown, attention-seeking. This keeps staff aligned and reduces emotional decision-making. Audit your consistency across instructors. If one instructor is “the fun one” who allows boundary-pushing, you'll end up with a subculture that erodes the whole school. Create (or tighten) your non-negotiables. Spell out what's always required (examples from the episode: safety, respect, “yes sir/no sir,” etc.). Make sure every instructor enforces them the same way. Use a simple correction loop. Name + eye contact + calm voice + clear correction. Keep it short. Then reset quickly by giving the student a chance to succeed. Stop over-talking. Give one instruction or one choice. Long explanations often become background noise—especially for younger kids or kids with attention challenges. Reward effort and self-control, not perfection. Tell parents to praise the one moment their child did focus, hold stance, or control their body—even if the rest of class was rough. Pre-frame students positively (and teach parents to do the same). Avoid the “don't do X, don't do Y, don't do Z” drop-off speech. Replace it with: “Have a great class. I know you're going to listen and do awesome today.” Talk to parents early—before it becomes a pattern. Keep it factual, positive, and team-based. Most parents already know their child is struggling; they need to know you're on their side. Use measurable goals with parents. Pick one or two behaviors to improve (ex: keeping hands to self, staying in line, using respectful language) and track progress together. Know your limits—and protect the room. If a student's behavior consistently harms the learning environment (or safety), be willing to recommend a break or discontinue enrollment. Additional Resources Mentioned Three-strike structure (in-class and/or program-level) to protect culture and create clear boundaries. Praise–Correct–Praise (PCP) as a reminder to balance corrections with encouragement. “Behavior that's rewarded will be repeated” as a guiding principle for shaping student habits. Parent coaching during trials/early enrollment (first 30/60/90 days) to build buy-in and shared expectations.

In this episode, Duane speaks with Early Brunner, the founder of Recovery Demystified. Early shares their powerful journey of navigating addiction as a queer, neurodivergent (autistic) person growing up in a small town. They discuss why traditional recovery models like AA can feel alienating for marginalized groups and how science-based "Quit Lit," neuroscience, and self-compassion provided the path to lasting sobriety.Key Topics & Chapters[00:03] Introduction to Early Brunner Early introduces their background: growing up undiagnosed autistic in 90s Wisconsin, dealing with profound social rejection, and discovering substances at age 10 as a way to find social connection.[04:30] The 13-Year Struggle Early discusses the "vicious cycle" of trying to quit using willpower alone. They share the shame of failed attempts and the realization that the substances that once provided relief were now the primary source of their crippling anxiety.[14:05] The Turning Point: Beyond Willpower The shift began when Early found science-based resources like This Naked Mind by Annie Grace. Understanding the neuroscience of addiction helped them realize they weren't "broken" or "powerless," but rather dealing with a brain-based challenge that could be repaired.[23:34] The Birth of Recovery Demystified After working as an EMT and seeing the failures of the traditional medical system, Early felt called to create a space specifically for those with "complex identities"—queer and neurodivergent folks who face significantly higher rates of addiction due to systemic trauma.[33:44] Neurodivergence and Addiction A deep dive into why ADHD and Autistic individuals are more prone to substance use, focusing on lower baseline dopamine levels, sensory overload, and the "mashing of the dopamine button" to cope with a world not built for them.[36:10] Destigmatizing the Story Early explains the importance of looking at the "whole person," including their childhood (ACEs score), rather than just their worst moments in active addiction. Quotes"Willpower is like a muscle, and muscles get tired over time... I think you need an ounce of willpower and about 25 pounds of everything else." — Early Brunner"One size fits all is not real. It's not real for baseball caps, and it's not real for recovery plans." — Early Brunner"The first step was asking: 'What would someone who loves themself do?'" — Early BrunnerResources MentionedBook: This Naked Mind by Annie GracePodcast: Recovery ElevatorConcept: ACEs Score (Adverse Childhood Experiences)Connect with Early BrunnerWebsite: recoverydemystified.comPodcast: Recovery DemystifiedSocial Media: @recoverydemystified (Instagram/Substack)Email: info@recoverydemystified.comNovusMindfulLife.comEpisode CreditsIf you like this podcast and are thinking of creating your own, consider talking to my producer, Emerald City Productions.

In this powerful episode, Duane sits down with filmmaker Benjamin Flaherty to discuss his hard-hitting documentary, Shuffle. The film pulls back the curtain on the "Florida Shuffle"—a predatory cycle in the billion-dollar addiction treatment industry where vulnerable individuals are "brokered" between facilities for insurance payouts.Benjamin shares his own journey of recovery and explains how his personal experience allowed him to gain unprecedented access to a community often silenced or exploited. This conversation explores the dark intersection of greed and healthcare, the resilience of the human spirit, and why the current treatment system desperately needs transparency.Key Discussion PointsBenjamin's Recovery Journey: How a moment of clarity at age 41 led Benjamin from "professional alcoholism" to a transformative experience in treatment.The Origins of Shuffle: A chance conversation in an AA meeting revealed a disturbing trend: recovery call centers becoming a primary source of employment for those in early sobriety.What is the "Florida Shuffle"? Benjamin explains how the Affordable Care Act (ACA) unintentionally created a loophole where "patient brokers" poach insured individuals, profiting from their relapses.The Statistic that Shocks: There are currently more private substance abuse treatment centers in the U.S. than there are McDonald's restaurants.Witnessing the Cycle: The emotional weight of filming Corey and Nicole—two individuals caught in the cycle of being "bought and sold" by treatment facilities.The "Driveway Recordings": Why Benjamin chose to use raw, iPhone voice memos for the film's narration to maintain emotional authenticity.Maintaining Hope: Despite the systemic corruption, the film highlights the incredible resilience of those in recovery and the fact that healing is still possible.Notable Quotes"Stopping a substance is the entry card for admission. That's not the whole thing. There's a lot of work to do, and none of us know that until we find it out in our own way." — Benjamin Flaherty"We've now made relapse profitable. We've incentivized the struggle by providing substandard care because an insurance card is like a blank check." — Benjamin Flaherty"I approached my time with Corey not as a filmmaker first, but as a person in recovery. I had to witness it to make it impossible to ignore." — Benjamin FlahertyResources MentionedThe Documentary: Shuffle (also referred to as Stop the Shuffle)Website: stoptheshuffle.com — Find theater locations, tickets, and upcoming streaming info.Social Media: Follow the movement on Instagram @StopTheShuffle.Episode CreditsIf you like this podcast and are thinking of creating your own, consider talking to my producer, Emerald City Productions.
