In this special episode of the Pyllon Ultra Pod, I sit down with Pyllon coach John Connolly and long-time creative collaborator (and pal) Gavin Bussey, just ahead of the release of A Run Through Darkness — the film documenting my 3,000km run across New Zealand. We talk about the discomfort of putting something so personal out into the world, the role of Alice's energy in keeping the whole thing moving, and the quiet moments of vulnerability that came not just during the run, but in shaping the story afterward. There's plenty of west coast banter, swearing, some honesty about fear, doubt and storytelling — and the formal proposal of a new XP ritual involving frostbitten toes and Yukon tradition that you probably just have to hear to believe. This one's real. It's not polished. And I'm proud of that.

In this episode of Crime Time, Inc., we delve into the intriguing world of the Irish Mob through the eyes of John Shea, a former mobster who was part of Whitey Bulger's notorious crew. Shea's story offers a unique blueprint of the Irish Mob's rise and fall, shedding light on their operations, code, and ultimate dismantling. From growing up in the crime-flourishing environment of South Boston to being drawn into the mob life through boxing and drug dealing, Shea's journey is one of power, loyalty, and internal conflict.Shea recounts his recruitment into Bulger's inner circle by Steve Flemming, his role in the drug trade, and the tight-knit yet power-struggled dynamics within the crew. The episode highlights Bulger's ruthless intelligence, Flemming's brutality, and the hyper-focused business structure that set the Irish Mob apart from other organized crime groups like the Italian Mafia. It also discusses the corrupt relationships between the mob and law enforcement, including FBI agents John Connolly and John Morris.Shea's story takes a dark turn with tales of violence, debt collection, and the strict code of silence that ultimately led to the mob's downfall as informants, including Bulger and Flemming, shattered trust leading to widespread arrests and convictions. Despite serving 12 years in prison and facing severe consequences for his loyalty, Shea turned his life around, becoming a union construction worker and author.This episode not only delves into the operational intricacies of the Irish Mob but also explores the human side of organized crime through Shea's raw and honest reflections. It's a powerful narrative of crime, loyalty, betrayal, and redemption, offering valuable insights into the complexities of those involved and the transformative power of change.00:00 Introduction to John Shea and the Irish Mob00:27 Shea's Early Life in South Boston00:49 Rising Through the Ranks: From Boxing to Drug Dealing01:17 Nicknames and the Mob Family01:33 Working with Whitey Bulger and Steve Flemming02:01 Drug Trade and Power Struggles03:43 The Code of Silence and Loyalty04:09 Shea's Loyalty Tested by Bulger05:16 Shea's Life After Prison08:01 Corruption in Law Enforcement09:12 Bulger's Downfall and Shea's Reflections11:35 Shea's Insights on Organized Crime15:52 Conclusion: Redemption and Lessons Learned Hosted on Acast.

What if the Watergate scandal was just the tip of the iceberg? This episode of Paratruther takes a deep dive into Richard Nixon's complex persona and his tumultuous journey to the Presidency, marking half a century since the infamous break-in at the Watergate Hotel. From his early political battles to his contentious relationships with figures like JFK and Harry Truman, we uncover the personal tragedies and relentless ambition that shaped his career. We'll challenge the conventional narratives and delve into the high-stakes world of political intrigue, shedding light on Nixon's strategic maneuvers and the far-reaching impact of the scandal on American electoral politics and governance.Meet Nixon's key allies and adversaries, and explore his unique approach to political relationships. Discover how he leveraged the expertise of individuals like John Connolly and Pat Buchanan, while also navigating his tumultuous interactions with influential figures such as Lyndon B. Johnson and J. Edgar Hoover. We'll discuss Nixon's pivotal decision to take the U.S. off the gold standard, his strategic retreat to Key Biscayne, and his controversial involvement in events like the 1960 presidential election and the Cold War. Uncover the murky world of espionage, political maneuvering, and the establishment of the Plumbers unit, all set against the backdrop of Nixon's deep-seated paranoia about leaks.As we dissect Nixon's legacy, both in foreign policy and his post-presidency reflections, we'll examine his opening of China, Cold War strategies, and the broader implications of the Watergate scandal.

Unravel the hidden layers of one of the most scrutinized events in American history with our latest episode of A Better Life. We start by addressing George's leave of absence and the fantastic feedback from our debut episode. Our special guest, Dom, joins us to examine the contentious choice of LBJ as JFK's running mate, the rumored blackmail by J. Edgar Hoover, and Bobby Kennedy's fierce opposition. We also trace Lee Harvey Oswald's journey from dropout to Marine sharpshooter, delving into potential roles and connections he may have had.Explore the chilling details captured in Mary Borman's Polaroid photo, which shows the exact moment of the fatal shot and the mysterious "Badge Man." We analyze Oswald's paraffin test results and his adamant denials, proposing he might have been a scapegoat. The eerie similarities between assassination attempts in Miami, Chicago, and the tragic event in Dallas also come under the microscope. This segment shines a spotlight on Abraham Bolden, the first African-American Secret Service agent, who was allegedly silenced after uncovering critical evidence about the Chicago plot and later pardoned by President Biden. We wrap up this chapter by noting Marina Oswald's attempts to return to the USSR, adding another twist to this tangled narrative.As we piece together the days leading up to JFK's fateful Dallas visit, we discuss Johnson's announcement, Oswald's movements, and Kennedy's political ambitions for the Texas trip. Our analysis covers everything from the tension between Senator Yarborough, LBJ, and John Connolly to Oswald's passport pursuits and his mysterious visit to Mexico City. We scrutinize Ruth Payne's controversial role, Oswald's activities in New Orleans, and the anti-Castro figures complicating the scenario further. Finally, we reflect on the final preparations for Kennedy's trip, including Johnson's suggestion for Jacqueline Kennedy to ride with him, and the finalization of the motorcade route, setting the stage for the tragic events that followed.

Dr. John Connolly, the innovative mind behind Rapid Resolution Therapy, returns to the show, sharing the transformative journey from the depths of emotional pain to the peaks of healing—all without the re-traumatization that often accompanies traditional therapy. I'll take you through my own life-changing encounter with RRT, a testimony to the swiftness and gentleness of this approach, which stands in dramatic contrast to the years of talk therapy I've undergone.Join a foundational RRT training that begins on May 10th here.  You'll get 25% off by using this link.To join Clean BDE with the Mother's Day special, click here and use the code MOTHER200. Within the swirl of legal battles and the sting of emotional triggers, especially those stirred by an ex-partner's threats, maintaining composure can seem an insurmountable task. Dr. Connolly and I explore the power of RRT in such high-stress scenarios. Through a simple yet profound visualization exercise, we demonstrate how to transform a knee-jerk fight-or-flight response into a stance of empowered clarity, ensuring that creativity and logic guide you in the face of adversarial tides. We also uncover the nuanced layers of childhood memories, revealing how revisiting the past through a compassionate lens can reshape perceptions and mend emotional wounds.Jon's bio: Dr. Jon Connelly embarked on his remarkable career in 1975 as a social worker, where he first encountered the complexities of trauma and substance abuse. Over the years, he honed his expertise, guiding thousands of individuals through trauma resolution, including relapse prevention and the underlying traumas fueling addiction. His dedication led him to serve as a consultant and psychotherapist in numerous recovery centers, including the Florida Center for Recovery.However, Jon's impact extends far beyond traditional therapy settings. As the visionary founder of Rapid Resolution Therapy, he revolutionized trauma treatment, empowering individuals to overcome deep-seated traumas in a fast, painless, and complete way.

Today we take a fascinating look into how Whitey Bulger rose to power in Boston's underworld in the 70's and 80's, with not only the FBI's protection, but also their direct help. No one (that we're aware of publicly, at least) benefitted more from the FBI's Top Echelon Informant Program than Irish-American gangster, Whitey Bulger.  Whitey rose through the ranks of Boston's organized crime scene thanks to a combination of cunning, ruthlessness, a little help from his politically connected brother, Billy, and a LOT of help from the FBI. Whitey's top informant status, and the degree to which he corrupted his handler, Special Agent John Connolly, allowed him to get away with murder after murder, and run one criminal racket after another with impunity. For nearly two decades the FBI protected the most dangerous man in Boston in order to take down other people who were far less threatening to the general public. Why?
