This episode was recorded in January, 2025. Dr. Mark McDonald is a psychiatrist and commentator. Along with Dr. Jeff Barke, his podcast Informed Dissent discusses mental and physical health, politics, and culture. Mark joins Josh to talk about the explosion of Cluster B, narcissistic personality traits and behaviors in society, and how the mental health establishment not only doesn't recognize it, but is contributing to the prevalence of these behaviors. We also discuss the effect of feminist and leftist ideologies on our collective mental health, and how these have upended traditional and sane understandings of good health, behavior, and personal responsibility.

If you've got people problems, this framework will help you diagnose and fix them before they take your business down with them. If you've ever felt like most of your business headaches come down to people, you're not alone. In this episode, we dive into the idea that 80-90% of business problems are really people problems.

From hiring mistakes to tough calls on employees who don't fit, this episode gives gym owners and business leaders a no-nonsense framework for evaluating their staff and making the right moves to protect their culture and success. 5 Key Takeaways:The Four People Issues: Every team member falls into one of these categories:Right person, right seat (ideal scenario).Right person, wrong seat (misplaced talent).Wrong person, right seat (high performer, bad culture fit).Wrong person, wrong seat (big mistake, needs to go).Right People Need Growth Too: Don't neglect your best employees—help them see their future in your company by aligning their goals with business growth.Misplaced Employees Can Be Saved (Sometimes): A team member who fits your culture but struggles in their role might just need a different seat. Moving them can be tough, but it's often worth it.Toxic High Performers Will Kill Your Culture: A top performer who doesn't align with your values is a ticking time bomb. No matter how talented they are, they will erode trust and teamwork if left unchecked.Hiring is a Skill You Must Master: Many people problems stem from hiring mistakes. Learn to ask better questions, check references thoroughly, and trust your gut when making staffing decisions. Can't make it in person? No problem!

And Mark is producing topic-based shows which are also increasing in diversity: from the Liss 'N Kristi podcast to programs about health, careers, workplace issues, sports, politics, and relationships. We discuss the challenges of building audiences, the decision of whether to do both video and audio, dubbing recordings into foreign languages, and how artificial intelligence might change podcasting's future. 00:00 - Start00:15 - Discovering Mark01:23 - Starting a podcast02:16 - Enabling people to speak to wider audiences02:51 - Helping podcasters use digital tools03:55 - Podcasting and Artificial Intelligence05:47 - The Multi-Faceted Process06:27 - Confusion around regulations07:38 - The complicated political atmosphere 08:26 - The alternate meaning of "BBC"11:46 - "I'm a Fox News girl"12:15 - Mark's diversity of podcast clients14:29 - Be "in it" for the long haul15:25 - Motivations for podcasting16:40 - The rise of Video and YouTube in podcasting17:45 - The future for audio and radio - multi-tasking18:20 - The effects of sound pollution19:50 - The challenge of building audience21:00 - Joe Rogan, Mr. Beast and foreign podcast translations24:01 - The time, energy and research it takes25:25 - Advocating for teaching "soft skills"28:56 - How to reach Mark

SUBSCRIBE Can we bridge the growing cultural divide or are we destined to fragment even further? Join us for a riveting discussion as we dissect the complexities of modern societal conflicts with our esteemed guests  Hank Kopel, Dr. John Mills, Wilfred Reilly, Mark McDonald, M.D. , and Joshua Slocum.  This episode tackles four critical arenas: sex, gender, and family structure; recreational drug usage; religion in the public square; and DEI and critical theory on race, gender, and sexuality. Through legislative and litigation battles, our panel unpacks the tensions between conservative and progressive viewpoints, revealing how these conflicts have evolved from past generational demands to today's radical challenges.Explore the psychoanalytic concept of "splitting" and understand how binary thinking is deepening the cultural divide in the West. Our panel examines the exacerbating effects of the pandemic and the murder of George Floyd, showing how these events have contributed to a victimization mentality and social resentment. With a focus on economic disparities, geopolitical tensions, and existential threats, we reveal how these layers impact everything from family dynamics and mental health to national unity and democratic stability. This exploration highlights the far-reaching consequences of disinformation and social media pathologies in fragmenting society.Addressing the feminization of society and its broader implications, our discussion delves into the rise of emotional and empathetic approaches and the decline of traditional masculinity. This shift, according to our panel, has led to a narcissistic society where truth and reality are often inverted. We scrutinize the psychological underpinnings of societal divides and the normalization of core mental deficits, culminating in cultural beliefs that challenge conventional thinking. Concluding with an interactive Q&A session, our guests offer diverse perspectives and emphasize the necessity of balanced, objective realities. Don't miss this thought-provoking conversation that seeks to understand the cultural tectonics at play in our society. Support the Show.

Welcome back to a very one of a kind episode with your hosts, Dr. Mark McDonald and Dr. Jeff Barke. In early 2021, we watched our colleagues, friends and families line up for an experimental "vaccine" that would change the world as we knew it. Mandates, slander, and censorship aimed at the unvaccinated population, simply for sharing viewpoints and knowledge, left us feeling ostracized and alone in our convictions. With long-term health consequences after exposure to our vaccinated counterparts unknown, we knew it was our duty to bring forth a safe place for the unvaccinated to find each other. We soon realized it wasn't just about the need for romantic companionship. There needed to be a platform that brought together the entire community of free-thinkers who were not buying into the agenda. Unjected has now become a rallying point for unvaccinated people from around the world to unite.

Join the riveting discussion on this episode of Supernatural Junkies as we discuss what we heard from Dr. Mark McDonald, a renowned psychiatrist, and Walt Heyer, the founder of sexchangeregret.com. Profound things have been said and deserve to be discussed in light of the Christian worldview. Discover the link between engineered mental health problems - AKA grooming, and the prevalent narrative of fear in recent times. Unearth the professional perspective on the presented mental health conditions within the LGBTQ community and engage in a thoughtful discussion on the role of family values in our children's spiritual and mental health. Explore the alarming rise of gender ambiguity, the state-sanctioned rituals altering physical bodies, and the spiritual implications arising from this perceived identity crisis. The episode confronts the current crisis of perception about sex and biological identities and challenges the idea of altering one's biological sex through medications or surgeries. We also talk about the misuse of the term 'mental illness.' As a biblical counselor, we uphold God's superiority over secular therapies. The podcast explores an alternative narrative around gender transformation and challenges the assertion that certain preferences merely represent a distinct sexual preference. We explore the grim reality behind the destructive choices made by young individuals misled by deceptive societal ideas. The episode examines the reality behind the rising rates of body mutilation and suicide among young individuals. We oppose the inconsistent and confusing interpretations of gender identities propagated by unspecified 'experts' to bolster an agenda to destroy God's creation. We call for immediate and collective action to guard our children's future. We unmask the misleading societal ideas propagated by media and influential figures. Our steadfast commitment is to Jesus' teachings as we strive for a safe, truthful world for our children and invite each listener to join us in this noble cause.

Welcome to the latest episode of 'Supernatural Junkies,' where skeptic Super Alex, believers Dr. Kevin and Dr Dennis as well as spiritual expert and Pastor Dr. Dozier dive deep into the mysterious aspects of our world. This episode features enlightening discussions on a blend of topics ranging from the role of faith and the spiritual realm to the ways societal standards and pressures shape mental health issues in youth today. Through a thoughtful dialogue with special guest Dr. Mark McDonald, the episode addresses matters of teenage artificial identity shifts, sexuality and transgenderism discourse, feminization of men, and mass delusional psychosis. We critically evaluate emerging societal trends and behaviors, reflecting on their role in perpetuating deeper individual and community issues. Our guests underscore the urgent need for a shift in perspective on widespread mental health struggles among youth, particularly stemming from societal forces. They also critically evaluate the discourse on transgenderism and the dangers it poses to traditional family structures, offering deep insights into the flaws of 'gender-affirming care' and the ethical duties of medical practitioners. This thought-provoking episode concludes on an empowering note, urging parents to reclaim their rights and prioritize their children's well-being amidst such societal challenges.

And especially what we're doing is not just some random informational podcast, we really are exposing and talking about holistic health and bringing forward a new way of thinking that most people aren't used to. And a lot of the establishment and healthcare really don't want heard because we're breaking a lot of those molds.” And hear Mark as he shares his insights about the hard truth of reality in 2024:"We didn't have people getting heart attacks and strokes in their 20s and 30s who were who were fit, seemingly fit. That's all happening now due to a combination of. Poor education, bad food, lack of good movement and exercise, high stress, as you pointed out, and these horrible interventions from drugs and fake vaccines and unnecessary surgeries that are making people sicker than ever."Stay tuned for more enlightening conversations and eye-opening revelations.

Here we go again! Episode #146 of Informed Dissent with your hosts Dr. Mark McDonald and Dr. Jeff Barke! This week we hear from Dr. Lucas Klein. He is a Psychologist, Psychoanalyst, Forensic Expert, and Executive Consultant. His philosophy states, “I believe people need to feel safe enough to venture forward in life in a way where they can do things that help them move past old ways of being that have been the cause of so much pain. That requisite safety is known through a relationship with someone else, or is torn down by the same. Relationships are the organizers of the mind, which is why we are so moved and affected by the so called past. Our pasts are of course playing out in real time between ourselves and others as we demonstrate to and with others how we have been shaped by being and time. Our unconscious organizing principles that were fashioned to help us understand emotional experience were learned in early development in order to protect us from disconnection, and symptoms and problems are often a reflection of unconscious efforts to feel cohesive as a self and to remain connected to loved ones.”To learn more about Dr. Klein or to schedule a consultation with him, visithttps://www.drkleinpsychology.com/For more information about the Informed Dissent Media show, to book an interview, or learn how you can become a sponsor, click here: https://linktr.ee/informeddissentmediaEmail us directly at media@informeddissentmedia.comSupport the showFor more Informed Dissent visit our website at Informed Dissent Media

Psychiatrist Mark McDonald coined the term "mass delusional psychosis" to describe the fear-driven response that swept the nation during the pandemic. In this episode, I interviewed him about the events of 2020 and their impact on our society. We discuss how fear became a fuel, driving irrational and self-destructive behaviors that were not in our best interests.Dr. McDonald highlights the shift in our society towards a culture that values safety over courage, risk-taking, and personal freedom. He points out the detrimental effects of this safety culture, such as the decline in IQ points among infants born during the lockdowns and the decrease in face-to-face interactions among young people. He also raises concerns about the erosion of masculinity and the impact it has on relationships and society as a whole.The conversation delves into the importance of teaching virtue and morality, as well as the need to reaffirm the qualities of healthy masculinity. Dr. McDonald emphasizes the role of individuals in shaping the future and the need to save the younger generation from the damaging ideologies and behaviors that have taken hold. He warns that if we don't address these issues, we risk the extinction of our civilization.The episode touches on the impact of the lockdowns on brain chemistry, particularly in terms of oxytocin, serotonin, and dopamine. Dr. McDonald discusses the observed changes in behavior, such as acute onset OCD-like symptoms and the reliance on non-face-to-face interactions for dating. He expresses concern about the increasing demand for drugs to alleviate depression, anxiety, and fear, and the long-lasting consequences of these changes in brain chemistry.Dr. Mark McDonald graduated from UC Berkeley and the Medical College of Wisconsin. Trained in adult as well as child and adolescent psychiatry at UCLA, he now works primarily with children in his west Los Angeles private practice. He is co-host of the podcast Informed Dissent and the author of United States of Fear and Freedom From Fear. His opinions have been widely published in local and national news, and he has been interviewed on a variety of platforms.

Charlie welcomes back to the show, Mark McDonald, M.D., author of the new book, "Freedom from Fear: A 12 Step Guide to Personal and National Recovery" for a fascinating look at America's addiction to fear exposed most poignantly during the COVID-19 pandemic. A clinical psychiatrist, McDonald explains that America, much like an alcoholic or a drug addict, has become a slave to an addiction that holds it in a vice grip, robbing it of its potential to thrive. Much like the famous AA 12 step process to recovery, McDonald walks through all 12 steps that apply equally to the country as a whole, as well as to each and every individual who has fallen prey to the "dealers" and "pushers" of fear. A wholly novel mind virus to the traditional American psyche, Dr. McDonald gives tangible as well as psychological advice that each can apply to their own lives and communities to help rid the country of its addiction to fear.  Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
