My esteemed guest, Dr. Leslie Dobson, a seasoned clinical and forensic psychologist, joined me to unravel the complex tapestry of the criminal mind, particularly focusing on sexual predators. Before we dive into the details of our discussion, I want to mention Leslie's recent contribution to the literary world. Leslie has authored a compelling book titled "The Friend Cleanse," which is an insightful exploration into the dynamics of personal relationships and the importance of surrounding oneself with positive influences. This book is a must-read for anyone looking to improve their social circle and enhance their overall well-being. Here's a sneak peek of what we dived into: 🧠 **Understanding the Predator's Mindset**: Leslie shed light on the chilling thought patterns of sexual predators, discussing the crucial differences between various types. We explored the dark corners of the minds driven by pedophilia and those with sadistic impulses. 🛡️ **Self-Protection Strategies**: We talked about the importance of being vigilant and the subtle tactics predators use. Leslie shared invaluable advice on how to stay alert and the role our clothing and body language play in deterring unwanted attention. 🔄 **The Grooming Process**: Ever wondered how predators operate? Leslie broke down the grooming process and the motivations behind these heinous acts, offering a deeper understanding of their behavior. ⚖️ **Inside the Courtroom**: The discussion took a turn into the legal world as Leslie recounted her experiences with criminals and victims in the justice system. We compared the behaviors of female and male criminals, revealing some surprising differences. 🔍 **Reading Between the Lines**: We wrapped up with insights into body language and the intuitive skills women often use to gauge potential threats. It's all about empowering ourselves with knowledge to navigate the complexities of criminal behavior without fear. And of course- Leslie’s book- 📚 **The Friend Cleanse**: In addition to our deep dive into the criminal psyche, Dr. Dobson also introduced her latest book, "The Friend Cleanse," which is an insightful exploration into the impact of interpersonal relationships on our mental health. The book provides a step-by-step guide on how to evaluate and detoxify our social circles, ensuring that we surround ourselves with positive and supportive individuals. It's a compelling read that complements our discussion on self-protection and personal well-being. This episode is a must-listen for anyone eager to learn more about the psychology of crime, the importance of healthy relationships, and how to protect oneself.

Steve Lazarus- Author,- "Behind the Badge: A Retired FBI Agent's Journey into Writing"  I introduce the one and only Steve Lazarus, FBI agent turned author, and I know you’ll love the show as much as I did. Steve Lazarus is a first-time author, retired FBI Special Agent, and United States Air Force veteran. He served twenty-two years in the FBI, spending the first half of his career investigating drug trafficking organisations and violent street gangs.  Later, he became a full time bomb technician, an assignment which led him to Iraq, Kuwait and Afghanistan as part of the Global War on Terror. After retiring from the Bureau, he spent several years as a national security contractor in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Steve's journey from law enforcement to literary success is nothing short of inspiring. His debut novel, "Call Me Sonny," is a thrilling dive into the world of a hitman network operating in the shadows of the dark web.  The kicker?  It's inspired by a real-life threat Steve faced during his FBI days. Steve’s debut novel was inspired by one of his real-life cases.  After arresting a subject who threatened to unleash a bioterror attack on the Atlanta subway system, Steve and his partner found themselves of the receiving end of a death threat from the soon-to-be convicted felon. And though that subject would spend the next 25 years in prison, Steve couldn’t help but wonder….what if he could make good on his threat, even from behind bars? The most logical solution would be if he hired a hit man, and….voila!!!!  A novel was born. Talk about authenticity! “Call Me Sonny” was a labor of love incorporating the personalities, anecdotes, and experiences of Steve’s multi- faceted FBI career, and it will be the first in a series of Bryce Chandler crime thrillers. 🎙️ Straight Talk: We get real about the impact of 9/11, the complexities of the Afghan withdrawal, and the intersection of politics and law enforcement. Steve's insights are a reality check we all need in a world where words are often twisted and accountability seems scarce. 👀 Perception is Key: Steve reminds us that it's not just about being a quiet professional; sometimes, you've got to confront the noise head-on. And in a society polarized to extremes, his middle-ground stance is a breath of fresh air. 🔍 The Cliffhanger: "Call Me Sonny" left us hanging, but Steve's already 30,000 words deep into the sequel, "Finding Sonny." Will it be a duo or a trilogy? Stay tuned to find out! 📈 Social Media Sensation: With a quarter million TikTok followers and a strong Instagram presence, Steve's not just a writer; he's a social media phenomenon. And he's got the humor to match, joking about conspiracy theories and the power of perception. So, if you are ready to dive into a world where fact meets fiction, and the thrills are as real as they get -Tune into this latest episode of the Straight Talk Mind and Muscle Podcast and join us as we explore the mind behind the book with Steve Lazarus.

A New Zealander based in the USA- just outside of Memphis, Tennessee, shares his journey from the New Zealand SAS (NZSAS) in the 1980’s to establishing a specialized training school for high-end military and law enforcement personnel in the US.  With over 4 decades of experience in teaching and training in the US he spoke about the niche focus of his company on professional Tactical and Breaching training for military, law enforcement, and other government agencies. We spoke about the transition from New Zealand to the vastly different scale of operations in the US. Alan reflected on the continuous learning environment in America and his adaptation to the new training landscape, emphasizing the importance of specialized skills and constant improvement. His experience with NZSAS, which included both domestic and international missions, provided him with a unique perspective on special operations and the importance of advanced training methods-  that demanded precision, quick thinking, and a deep understanding of tactical operations.  After a distinguished career in NZ, Alan decided to leave for several reasons. He sought new challenges and wanted to leverage his expertise to make a broader impact on the field of tactical training.  He saw an opportunity to fill a gap in the training of military and law enforcement personnel in the United States, where he could apply his specialized knowledge to improve their operational capabilities. He has built a reputation for excellence and become a respected figure in the tactical training community. Alan's dedication to his craft and his commitment to continuous improvement serve as the foundation for his company's success and the success of those he trains. A Great yarn with a true down to earth, good Kiwi Bloke and a Professional Operator, I hope you enjoy the show as much as I did.

The show started off how I thought it would, but Barrie surprised the hell out of me 13 minutes from the end about his personal journey and by god-it gave me goosebumps and has turned out to be one of the most powerful shows I have ever had the honour to be a part of. Truly mind blowing! We discussed Barrie's work and career from military to civilian security, his work with the America's Cup Teams, and his experiences in close protection and private military contracting.  Barrie shared his preference for working with American military personnel, his progression to Blackwater, and his respect for Blackwater's founder, Erik Prince.  He addressed the media's negative portrayal of Blackwater and the political complexities of military operations.  Barrie also reflected on his combat training and his role in the movie "Zero Dark Thirty, Hurt Locker,” and even his view on who really killed Osama Bin Laden. But - and unexpectedly-In the final 13 minutes of the podcast, Barrie opened up about his personal battles, providing a raw and honest account of his struggles with alcohol and mental health issues. He shared a look into the dark times he faced after during his PMC work, the challenges of finding his footing back in civilian life, and the journey towards sobriety, well-being and happiness, for himself AND his family. Barrie's story is one of resilience and hope, as he shared the steps he took to reclaim his happiness and the lessons he learned about the importance of mental health support for veterans.

Title:  Ken Stornes Unleashing the Inner Viking: Filling the Void:  Conquering Death Diving,World Records, and Cultivating Mental Health In this captivating episode of the Straight Talk Mind Muscle Podcast, I had the privilege of interviewing Ken Stornes, a remarkable individual who has conquered both the battlefield and the world of extreme sports.  Ken, a former member of the renowned Norwegian Telemark Battalion and now a dedicated healthcare worker, shares his inspiring journey of transitioning from military life to civilian life, finding solace in adrenaline-pumping activities, and overcoming adversity. One of the highlights of our conversation was Ken's passion for Death Diving, a thrilling sport that involves diving belly flop style from great heights into water, and then stapling at the last millisecond. Ken's eyes sparkled as he recounted his exhilarating experiences, pushing the boundaries of what seemed possible. He spoke of the rush of adrenaline, the intense focus required, and the sheer joy of conquering fear.  With each dive, Ken's confidence grew, and he found himself setting new world records, a testament to his unwavering determination. But Ken's story goes beyond the realm of extreme sports. He also shared his personal journey of recovery from a serious car crash, which left him physically and mentally shattered.  Through sheer resilience and an unyielding spirit, Ken fought his way back to health, defying the odds and proving that the human body and mind are capable of extraordinary things. Throughout our conversation, Ken emphasized the importance of sleep for training and recovery. He recognized that rest is not a sign of weakness but a crucial component of achieving peak performance.  By prioritising quality sleep, Ken has been able to optimise his physical and mental well-being, allowing him to continue pushing his limits. Beyond his physical pursuits, Ken spoke passionately about his deep connection with nature. He finds solace in the great outdoors, using it as a source of inspiration and healing.  Ken's love for the environment led him to want to acquire a farmland, where he plans to create a community centered around adventure, personal growth, and mental health.  Through his social media presence and future endeavors, Ken aims to inspire others to embrace their own journeys of self-discovery and find strength in the face of adversity. In closing, Ken Stones is a true testament to the power of the human spirit. Let Ken's journey be an inspiration to us all, as we strive to create a life filled with self-confidence, resilience, and a deep connection with ourselves and the world around us.

During his career he was assigned as a lead combative tactics instructor, firearms instructor and field training officer. He is the recipient of three life-saving awards and multiple department commendations and unit citations.  He is also a former amateur boxer and certified USA boxing coach. He currently trains and teaches Jiu Jitsu full-time. We also address misconceptions about the effectiveness of strikes and emphasize the need for consistent training in fundamental techniques.  Our conversation also touches on the behavior of individuals in high-stress situations, recent incidents of excessive force by police officers, the importance of training for children, and Jason's company, Jiu-Jitsu Five-O.  We conclude by discussing the role of jiu-jitsu in police officer education and the challenges of finding time for training. And to our listeners, remember to stay tuned for more inspiring conversations coming up on the Straight Talk Mind and Muscle podcast.
