“When I was a little boy the doctors told my family that I wouldn't be able to walk, run, bike or swim, and would spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair.” Fast forward 20 years and Guy Harrison, 23, from New Zealand, was preparing to play on the G4D Tour in Spain; playing with some confidence after working hard on his game and competing to a high standard – off his 8.3 golf handicap – propelling himself up the Net World Ranking for Golfers with Disability.  Guy, who has cerebral palsy, says today: “Golf is my true love – getting out on the course with mates, seeing new places. It was a massive benefit to start golf at a young age so I can enjoy progress in the game. “With the support of my parents we proved the doctors wrong and kept me out of the wheelchair using golf a lot to help me. I started my golf at five years-old going out a couple of times a week with my Dad to a local nine-hole public golf course and it just went from there.”      Follow Guy's story in golf today with EDGA. 

Staring down the unforgiving path of family law, many men find themselves lost in a labyrinth of legal battles over divorce and child custody. Matt O'Connor joins me once again for a deeply moving conversation that shines a light on the all-too-common plight fathers face. Amid the turmoil, we uncover a vital lifeline—staying put in the family home during separation can be a game-changer in preserving legal rights. Plus, we venture into the complexities of the C100 form and mediation, tools that can make or break a father's quest to remain a pillar in his children's lives.The cold statistics surrounding men's mental health and suicide are not just numbers; they're a call to action. Sharing my own brush with despair atop Waterloo Bridge, this episode serves as both a confessional and a clarion call for societal change. We tackle the stigma and urge for a champion in parliament, someone to advocate for men's rights and address the systemic biases that leave many fathers feeling marginalized. It's a heart-wrenching journey through the emotional battleground fathers endure, and a testament to the resilience it takes to emerge from the shadows.Yet, in the face of such gravity, there's room for unexpected levity. Guy Harrison's legendary powder bombing caper offers a moment of reprieve, reminding us of the camaraderie and boldness that once punctuated our lives. This episode is a tapestry of serious discourse interwoven with nostalgia, an offering of hope and solidarity to any man navigating the treacherous waters of family law. Tune in for a conversation that's as enlightening as it is emotionally resonant, and perhaps, find a beacon to guide you through the storm. >>>>>>>NEW 5 week Heroic Man course & online community (no charge, it's on us) Join Here How Heroic are you?

We talk with Guy Harrison, an author known for his work on skepticism and atheism. He joins us to discuss conspiracy theories, particularly those related to the coronavirus. In a recent piece for Psychology Today he wrote, "In the coming months, an avalanche of pandemic-related fantasies, lies, and medical fraud will continue to swarm the globe. There will be no limit to the absurdity and cruelty of bad information coming. Prepare to think well or prepare to be a victim, because poor thinking skills can cost you time, money, dignity, good health, maybe even your life." Harrison is our guest for the hour.

Blockchain technology won’t replace the need for databases; however, it will strengthen cybersecurity by introducing a layer of trust that mitigates internal threats, malware, and other concerns. In this Gossip About Gossip episode, Hedera’s Paul Madsen and Cooper Kunz are joined by Guy Harrison. Guy is CTO of ProvenDB, a database professional, and author. Here are some blockchain applications and use cases that ProvenDB make possible: Prove ownership of intellectual property Prove timestamps for legal instruments Prove that records have not been falsified or tampered with Create a log of all document changes There is no doubt that the proof of work algorithm was a breakthrough technology. We are now witnessing the limits of this distributed ledger technology as it cannot realistically scale without harmful effects. Listen to the entire podcast and learn why anchoring digital proofs in databases are the new fingerprint. You can find ProvenDB at https://www.provendb.com/.

"We Should Be Prepared To Kill Aliens"--Scientist Guy Harrison Link: https://www.barstoolsports.com/chicago/we-should-be-prepared-to-kill-aliens-scientist-guy-harrison Scientists often kill animals — that's just a grisly fact of biological research. But it's a bit more complicated in the theoretical future where we've made first contact with extraterrestrial life. At that point, science author Guy Harrison argues in a Psychology Today op-ed that biologists may have to come to terms with killing alien life in the name of scientific progress — which raises a difficult question: at what point does scientific inquiry outweigh the value of life? Harrison suggests guidelines that future biologists may find helpful. For instance, any extraterrestrial life that shows signs of intelligence ought to be spared. In that case, we may be able to learn about the alien lifeform by using our words instead of our scalpels. Which, if you ask me, makes this Guy Harrison dude…a fucking PSYCHOPATH. “Hey everyone….DIBS on cutting open the first alien we find. I am mentally prepared to do that. Even wrote an op-ed, so yeah…get in line”. Like hey man, why don't you just chill out? There's no need to tell everyone that you're blood thirsty for things that we don't even have confirmation if they exist or not. Nobody needs to be “prepared” for that event. If we have to kill them in a space war, so be it. If we find some other alien life form that we are smarter than then maybe, just maybe, we should let them be. We don't need to kill everything we find. Just this once let's take a different approach. And Dr Harrison…if you're not already cutting open aliens, then you're not going to be the one the government calls to cut open the new aliens. That is a fact.

Purchased by :            Federal Fleet Services (a sister company to Davie Shipbuilding) Asterix was a commercial container ship converted into a Canadian Navy supply ship and brought in on time and on budget. The ship is doing tremendous service for the RCN. We find out about the MV Asterix which remains owned by Federal Fleet Services and is leased to the RCN for 10 years.  Kawhi Leonard still not confirmed to return as a Toronto Raptor, or move to another NBA team ... and NHL free agents moving around, plus trades.  What is offered to pro athletes by way of $$ and inducements, either to persuade them to stay or move to another team and what's the impact on team fans?
