Bill Fahy is a Texas-based website designer and firearms instructor with extensive experience in self-defense and situational awareness. Despite his background, Bill faced a potentially dangerous situation that emphasized the importance of constant vigilance. In addition to his professional work, Bill is also a passionate advocate for veterans' mental health, actively supporting Camp Hope, a vital initiative aiding veterans suffering from PTSD.Back to Bill's story. Despite his training, he ignored initial warning signs, like as a suspiciously parked car and a seemingly innocent young woman engaging him in conversation. His gut instinct told him something was off, yet he dismissed it. Fortunately, when the situation escalated, Bill's quick thinking and assertive response deterred the potential threat. This experience reinforced a critical lesson: even experienced individuals can become complacent, making consistent awareness and preparedness essential.Here are key insights for enhancing personal safety:Trust Your Instincts: Bill emphasized the importance of trusting your gut feelings. If something feels off, it probably is. Don't be afraid to leave a situation if it doesn't feel right.Be Present and Aware: Avoid distractions like headphones or your phone when you're out in public. Pay attention to the people around you and be proactive about your safety.Project Confidence: Bad guys often prey on the weak. Projecting confidence and awareness can deter potential threats.Avoid Distractions: Remain aware of your surroundings by avoiding distractions like headphones or excessive phone use in public spaces.Have a Plan: Always know your exit routes, and consider carrying self-defense tools when appropriate.Beyond his safety insights, Bill's advocacy for veterans shines through his involvement with Camp Hope. This organization provides immediate assistance to veterans dealing with PTSD, offering free accommodations and community support from fellow veterans. Bill's dedication to this cause highlights the urgent need for mental health resources for those who have served.Bill started his career in technology, opening FDI Creative Services, a website development firm, in 1996 in Chicago, Illinois. Bill is also a firearms enthusiast and competitive shooter, competing in IPSC matches for most of his adult life.Bill's main focus in the web design field is to help Firearm dealers, Hunting and Fishing Outfitters, as well as various other industries build their business through web design and Internet Marketing.This passion led Bill to Partner with Mark Atchison, an NRA pistol instructor and Federal Firearms Licensee. Together, they built www.everythinggun.com, evgun.com and armsads.com.

“The Evolution of U.S. Marine Corps Special Operations”: Insights from John DaileyJohn Dailey is a retired Marine Force Recon sniper and member of Detachment One, the first USMC unit in SOCOM. A veteran of Afghanistan and Iraq, he now trains Marine Raiders and holds multiple master's degrees, including an MFA in creative writing. He is also the author of Tough Rugged Bastards. Over the course of his career, John played a pivotal role in shaping the Marine Corps' special operations capabilities, including the formation of the Marine Raiders. From his early days in Force Recon to deploying alongside Navy SEALs in Iraq, John's experience spans some of the most transformative moments in modern military history.In this episode, John shares a powerful insight that has shaped both his military career and his life beyond service:"When the mission changes, your mindset must change with it. Adaptability isn't just a skill; it's a survival tool.”This mindset defined John's ability to lead through shifting roles, new threats, and unexpected challenges. After 9/11, as the Marine Corps was tasked with creating a new special operations unit, John found himself at the forefront of this transformation. Working alongside Colonel Robert Coates, John helped form the Marine Corps' first special operations unit, which would later become the Marine Raiders. Their initial deployment alongside Navy SEALs in Iraq in 2004 marked a turning point for the Marine Corps' role in SOCOM and the wider special operations landscape.John's philosophy on leadership, adaptability, and teamwork is deeply rooted in his military experience. He emphasizes that even support roles — mechanics, medics, and administrative staff — were vital to mission success. "Everybody fights," John recalls. "That mindset kept us prepared for anything.”Mental Fortitude and Problem-Solving: The ability to navigate high-stress situations and solve problems under pressure is crucial in special operations. John's resilience and growth throughout his career serve as an inspiration for aspiring operators and veterans alike.Since retiring, John has continued to share his insights on leadership, resilience, and the importance of finding purpose after military service. His book, Tough Rugged Bastards, blends personal stories with actionable lessons for overcoming adversity and embracing change. For those navigating their own transitions — whether in the military, corporate world, or personal life — John's message is clear: adaptability, teamwork, and purpose are the cornerstones of success.John's remarkable journey, from the sands of Iraq to mentoring others through his writing, stands as a testament to the power of perseverance and the enduring strength of the Marine Corps spirit.Why You Should Listen: This episode is a deep dive into the world of special operations, filled with historical context, personal stories, and valuable lessons. Whether you're a military enthusiast, a history buff, or someone looking for inspiration, John Daly's experiences and insights are sure to captivate you.

Matt Gantry's journey is one of resilience, transformation, and the power of storytelling. Once a truck driver navigating the open roads, his life took an unexpected turn after a devastating accident that forced him to redefine his future. Rather than letting adversity define him, Matt embraced writing as a means of healing, ultimately becoming the author of The Gamer—a thrilling story that blends his passion for gaming with his own life experiences."Writing became my way of processing everything—the pain, the uncertainty, the new reality I had to face. I never expected it to become something more, but storytelling gave me a purpose I never saw coming.”The Gamer by Matt Gantry is a gripping novel that tells the story of Harry Fearn, a video game enthusiast, with a love for the SAS ( Special Air Service) who finds himself in a real-life hostage situation. Drawing on his gaming skills, Harry navigates the dangerous scenario, using his strategic thinking and quick reflexes to outsmart the terrorists. The book, inspired by Gantry's own life experiences—including the accident that led him to pursue writing—seamlessly weaves action, suspense, and personal growth into a high-stakes narrative.Matt's journey from truck driver to author wasn't just about personal reinvention—it was about finding a voice and sharing a story that resonates. His dedication to storytelling has now led him to expand The Gamer into a six-part series, as well as an audiobook adaptation that brings his world to life in a whole new way.Matt lives by the belief that even the most unexpected challenges can lead to extraordinary transformations. His work is a testament to the idea that resilience, creativity, and passion can open doors we never imagined.You can find Matt at https://www.mattgantry.com/On Insta at https://www.instagram.com/mattgantryauthor/And his book - The Gamer at- https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gamer-Mr-Matt-Gantry-MRMG/dp/B09MGVCYJZI am Damian Porter , Former NZ Special Forces Operator, Subject Matter Expert from www.hownottodieguy.com and www.eatwellmovewell.netAnd you are listening to my STRAIGHT TALK MIND AND MUSCLE PODCAST sponsored by www.mystait.com - the ultimate daily formula for optimum hormone health, stress management, energy and performance. 100% natural and clinically proven ingredients, it provides everything you need to raise your game, in a convenient gut-friendly capsule.

Rebecca Santos: Advocate, Survivor, and Bold Voice for ChangeRebecca Santos, known as “The Bold Advocate,” dedicates her life to protecting children and raising awareness about abuse and trafficking. From her earliest days, Rebecca's life was shaped by challenges that most would find insurmountable. Conceived through rape, groomed as a preteen, and exposed to pornography as a young child, she emerged into a world marred by abuse and pain. Yet, guided by her unwavering faith in Jesus Christ, Rebecca refused to be defined by her circumstances. Instead, she chose to embrace her purpose as a survivor—a thriver—a bold advocate for change.she works to educate parents, caregivers, and leaders on recognising and preventing abuse, driven by shocking statistics: 1 in 3 girls and 1 in 4 boys will face sexual abuse before 18.With encouragement from her husband, Rebecca embraced technology to amplify her advocacy, using social media and her website to connect with others and share resources. Her mission is fuelled by real-life stories of trafficking, like a 16-year-old girl narrowly escaping abduction at a football game, and by the limitations of law enforcement, highlighting the need for community involvement.Rebecca also emphasises personal safety, inspired by a terrifying experience that led her to seek firearm training and self-defence education. She advocates for open communication with children about body boundaries and recognising behavioural changes that may signal abuse.Politically engaged, Rebecca underscores how leadership and policies shape child advocacy efforts and encourages voting for candidates who prioritise safety. Her advice to aspiring advocates is simple: take action, leverage resources, and collaborate to combat exploitation.Through her relentless efforts, Rebecca Santos inspires others to stand up for vulnerable children and be part of the solution.

Reflecting on her start, she shares, “I always wanted to do it, but I never felt ready emotionally, mentally, or physically. I was not confident that I would be able to do it because I had issues with my relationship with food.” Despite these struggles, she rose to become a decorated bodybuilder, earning her pro card, winning multiple medals, and being recognized as an Australian champion.Beyond the physical transformation, Astrid emphasizes personal growth, resilience, and the mental readiness needed for such a journey. Her experiences taught her the importance of support systems, especially the encouragement of her husband, of whom she says, “It was so nice to see that commitment that he had towards being my best supporter, which for me was hard at the very beginning because I wasn't sure if he was going to support me.”Astrid's philosophy blends scientific expertise with personal insight, encouraging individuals to honor their unique journeys and prioritize emotional and physical well-being. Whether through her work or online presence, she inspires others to embrace self-compassion and cultivate confidence both inside and out.You can find Astrid at https://www.canva.com/design/DAEXyW1MONs/Kze5DUf6hxJgrkJg1byMAg/view?website#4:astrid-naranjo-2And on Instagram at- https://www.instagram.com/antidiet_dietitian?g=5I am Damian Porter , Former NZ Special Forces Operator, Subject Matter Expert from www.hownottodieguy.com and www.eatwellmovewell.netAnd you are listening to my STRAIGHT TALK MIND AND MUSCLE PODCAST sponsored by www.mystait.com - the ultimate daily formula for optimum hormone health, stress management, energy and performance. 100% natural and clinically proven ingredients, it provides everything you need to raise your game, in a convenient gut-friendly capsule.

Anthony ‘Staz' Stazicker CGCThruDark Co-Founder Former SBS“The Hard Road Will Take You Home”I'm thrilled to share the latest episode STAZ from ThruDark with you all. I had the honour of sitting down with Anthony ‘Staz' Stazicker CGC, a former member of the UK Special Boat Service (SBS). His journey from the frontlines of Afghanistan to founding the groundbreaking, Tier 1 Quality clothing brand - THRUDARK is nothing short of inspiring. Here are some key takeaways and intriguing insights from our conversation: Key Lessons and Ideas Bravery Redefined: Anthony shares that bravery isn't the absence of fear but the ability to act despite it. His stories from Afghanistan, where he was awarded the Conspicuous Gallantry Cross (CGC), highlight this nuanced understanding of courage. Medals and Meaning: The CGC, awarded for valour, is a symbol of collective achievement rather than individual heroism. Anthony's sentiment, "Medals are for mothers," underscores the shared nature of military success. Training and Experience: The rigorous training in the Royal Marines and SBS prepared Anthony for high-pressure situations. He emphasises that exposure to challenging environments and repetitive training are crucial for developing an automatic response to stress. Transition to Civilian Life: Anthony's shift from military to civilian life wasn't easy. He co-founded the clothing brand THRUDARK with his friend Louis Tinsley, channeling their military experiences into a new venture. This transition highlights the importance of finding a new mission and maintaining a sense of community. Authenticity in Business: THRUDARK s success is rooted in authenticity. The brand's gear is tested in real-world, extreme conditions, and their marketing features real people, not models. This genuine approach resonates deeply with their audience. Learning from Failure: Anthony's mantra, "I either win or I learn," is a powerful reminder that failure is a stepping stone to success. This perspective has shaped his approach to both business and life. Support Systems: The importance of having a support system, whether in the military or civilian life, cannot be overstated. Anthony's partnership with Louis and the support from his partner Ruby have been crucial in his journey.Special Forces Insights: High-Stakes Operations: Anthony recounts two significant operations in Afghanistan, including thwarting a large-scale Taliban attack and a high-stakes firefight. These stories provide a gripping look into the realities of special forces operations. From Sniper to Entrepreneur: The transition from a specialised military role to civilian life is challenging. Anthony's journey from sniper to entrepreneur is a testament to adaptability and resilience. THRUDARK's Mission: The brand's strapline, "Endeavor Through Adversity," reflects their philosophy of pushing through challenges. Their high-performance gear is designed for extreme conditions, inspired by Anthony's military experiences. Upcoming Collaborations and Charity Work: An exciting collaboration withThe Call of Duty Endowment, helping get veterans back to work. https://www.callofdutyendowment.org/ This partnership underscores Through Dark's commitment to social responsibility. I hope these highlights spark your curiosity and entice you to listen to the full episode. Anthony's journey is a powerful reminder of the importance of purpose, resilience, and authenticity in navigating life's challenges.

Feeling stuck or uninspired?It's time to tap into the power of your heroes!
In this riveting episode I welcome Mick Hawkes, a former British 22 SAS operator, to discuss his military experiences and the transition to his current mission of enhancing rural security. This episode offers a deep dive into the complexities of covert operations, the mindset required for high-stakes missions, and actionable advice for improving security in the agricultural sector.This episode highlights Mick's dedication to leveraging his military expertise to enhance community safety."Michael Hawkes QCB," stands for Queen's Commendation for Bravery, an honour he received for his covert operations in Northern Ireland.This prestigious award was given for his exceptional service during his undercover work. He elaborates on the nature of his work, emphasising the complexities and dangers involved in such missions. Mick reflects on the challenges faced during operations, highlighting the importance of situational awareness and self-protection.He spoke about his time in Northern Ireland, illustrating the skills he developed that are now applicable to his current work. He notes that during his covert operations, he often had to blend into rural environments, which has given him unique insights into the vulnerabilities of farms and rural properties.After leaving the military, Mick found himself living on a farm in a posh area, which sparked his interest in the agricultural industry. Initially focused on personal safety and situational awareness training, he soon recognised a significant gap in security culture within the farming community. Farmers are often easy targets for criminals due to a lack of security measures and awareness.To address this issue, Mick has developed a series of courses aimed at agricultural colleges, focusing on rural situational awareness and farm security. He believes that by teaching young farmers about the tactics used by criminals, they can better protect themselves and their properties.## Captured in Bosnia: A Lesson in Composure - The IncidentThe conversation shifts to a specific incident during Mick's time in Bosnia, where he and a colleague, Billy Billingham, were captured. Mick recounts the experience, noting that while they were detained, they maintained a level of composure that allowed them to gather intelligence on their captors. He describes how Billy, who attempted to communicate in Serbo-Croat, was repeatedly dragged in for questioning, while Mick chose a different tactic for his success.He shares that this mentality of resilience and calmness in the face of adversity is something he has passed on to his children, who are also in the military.## Active Shooter Training: Practical Advice ### Run, Hide, FightMick explains their approach to active shooter training, which involves teaching everyone in a company—from the CEO to the janitor—about their options in a crisis. He outlines the three primary responses: run, hide, and fight. While running and hiding are preferable, he stresses that sometimes fighting back is necessary. He cites examples from real-life situations, such as the Bondi Stabbing incident, where individuals who chose to confront the attacker had a better chance of survival.Mick shares a story about a company in America that sought his advice on security measures. He identified safe havens, where employees could hide during an active shooter situation. By marking these locations with clear signage, he aimed to reduce panic and provide a straightforward solution.### Military ExperiencesWe talked about the differences between various special forces units, specifically comparing the SAS to Delta Force. Mick shares his experiences working with Delta - to find out more you'll have to listen to the end!

Philip Toppino founded W.O.F.T. (Where Our Families Train) to provide scenario-based safety training, empowering individuals and families to handle real-life situations. Located on a 20-acre facility near Orlando, Florida, WOFT combines practical skills with situational awareness. I'm thrilled to share the incredible insights from our latest episode. This time, I had the pleasure of speaking with Philip , the founder and director of WOFT (West Orlando Firearms Training).

Philip shares how being aware of your surroundings can make you a "hard target" and significantly reduce your risk of becoming a victim. 3. **Practical Self-Defense Tools**: From flashlights to pepper spray, Philip explains how everyday items can be used creatively for self-defence. He even demonstrates how wind can affect pepper spray, emphasising the need for practical experience and practice. 4. **Family-Friendly Training**: WOFT isn't just for the hardcore enthusiasts. It's designed to be accessible and empowering for families, including mothers and children. Philip's goal is to create a welcoming environment where everyone can learn together.5. **Learning from Mistakes**: We talk about the importance of making mistakes in a safe environment. It's better to learn and correct errors during training than in real-life situations. 6. **Hands-On Experience**: Online courses are great, but nothing beats the experience of being physically put under pressure in realistic scenarios. Philip and I both agree that everyone should experience purposed based learning with scenario training at least once. 7. **Transformative Outcomes**: Hear inspiring stories, like that of Lindsey Graham (Patriot Barbie), who credits WOFT with saving her life through improved situational awareness. 8. **Tailored Training**: Philip emphasizes the importance of creating a custom learning experience tailored to each participant's skill level and life experiences.

But here's the thing, just like with your TIME, if you don't push pause to honestly look at where it's going, where you want it to go and the steps you need to take to be a good steward, it's never gonna happen…and will only lead to more stress in your marriage, in your business, in your life!

Realizing that 75% of her take home pay went to debt and even worse thinking/stressing about money daily! That fired her up to take back her time and her paycheck. Budgeting then helped her and her husband become debt free, including their house, in September 2015. And as of today, she's helped 100's of individuals and families create a money plan that works for their lives.Not only does she show you how to get back control of your MONEY, but how to regain the TIME you used to spend thinking (and stressing) about it.

Tiffany wants all women to have beautiful sex lives, which is why she loves to talk about sex.So much of what we're told is either black or white in church isn't really black or white. One of the harmful things about the way the Church has approached sexuality is that it is approached as black or white. Tiffany talks about a book called, “Out of Sorts” by Sarah Bessey. It explains that kids need “black and white.” A lot of people never leave the stage of blind acceptance, though. The black and white answers feel safe, but they are only meant to be a ‘beginning.' We need to be questioning the “why” behind the black and white answers.She grew up in the church because her father was the youth pastor at the church. Her childhood was very sheltered and conservative. She was homeschooled. She never talked about sex and didn't even know basic body anatomy. Even the word “vagina” was foreign to her. She grew up afraid of everything, especially relationships between her and the boys she was interested in. In college, she had a boyfriend. When he put his arm around her, she knew that it felt good, but she felt incredible guilt and shame around how she felt. She felt like in order to keep his attention on her and off of pornography, she needed to keep going further and further physically. Still, they never had sex but the guilt and shame kept growing. She felt like there was a wall between her and God. Eventually, her dad broke up the relationship because she was honest about how physical their relationship had gotten with him. The next few years, she struggled with hating her body and with relationships. She wanted to be in a relationship, but all of her past struggles with relationships made it extremely difficult. Eventually, she developed a mentorship with her pastor and his wife and started to share her thoughts and feelings with them, which started her healing journey. She then ended up dating another guy who was really good for her, which was the opposite of her first relationship. You can't have good sex if you aren't “in your body.” She still had a lot of baggage around sex. How are you going to enjoy sex if it's just “duty sex.” She didn't know her body at all and she couldn't figure it out. She need to learn how to be present in her own body to be able to enjoy sex and figure out how to have a good orgasm. Sex is about being in it together. It isn't a dictatorship or one person telling the other how sex should be. We need to be on the same page as our partners. Sex is not a duty. It's all a mutual compromise. Tiffany also mentions a book by Sheila Gregoire - “The Great Sex Rescue.” This book contains research based evidence for breaking down the myths that a lot of Christian women have believed about sex. She sees nuance in how Christians view sex. Without context, it is very hard to understand what the Bible has to say about the subject. You can get turned on without judgment. Learn to understand your body and understand what your body is telling you and take the time to understand what works for you as an individual and as a couple.Resource for listeners: “The Wedding Night Talks - How do you get from nothing to great sex. Here's what you need to talk about… “You can find more about Tiffany at:tiffanydawn.netAnd on IG: @TiffanyDawnIQB
