SHOW NOTES: - Your belief is a powerful force and attracts (like with success) or repels (like sharks), if you're being true to yourself | - Mark acquired NavySEALS.com in the mid-90's and used it to help prepare clients in their physical, mental, and emotional lives especially to get ready for SEAL training | - His mentoring process increased successful output of SEAL candidates by 5%, a huge impact on the program...but then a bigger business competitor swooped in and took it away | - That was a crushing blow, but served as an evolutionary moment for Mark's growth both personally and professionally | - Use every experience in life to make your life and contribution better.

Marcques HENDERSON Part 1 Podcast Show Notes – | www.AzariahMay.org | - “Fear rarely works to our advantage.” It usually leads to poor decisions and inferior outcomes. | - I saw things as a child that no young person should have to experience. I have always been concerned about protecting the defenseless. |- I started boxing as a young teen, and have been active in the fighting styles for my whole life. I was one of the first Marines into the USMC’s “MCMAP” hand-to-hand combatives program. | - I became an advocate in our UVA program for Marines who have suffered sexual violence. These include many more men than some people would assume. Some of the men have been targeted by civilians in the community, including gangs, who want to make an example of a military guy. | - The Azariah May Academy, named after my kids, is a full-spectrum personal protection school, encompassing economic, psychological, and other focus areas in addition to basic “self-defense” techniques. | - We say Personal Protection rather than “self-defense,” because the former conveys the sense that keeping yourself and others safe is a proactive, comprehensive lifestyle. It’s better to prevent violence than to have to react to it. | - At Azariah May, we don’t just teach fighting techniques. We can’t capitalize on someone else’s pain. We want to help people understand how they’ve contributed to their past violent experiences and prevent them in the future. | - Violence has become mainstream. It used to be limited to untrained “bad guys” using it against innocent victims, and trained protectors using it to stop bad guys, but with the explosion of “mixed martial arts” schools anyone – including bad guys – can become trained to high levels. | - Teen dating violence has become a huge problem. Boys today don’t all know how to behave. | - Social media makes many people feel more brave and disrespectful than they really should be.

3:44 Putting aside you know, the real world factors of Well, the thing will be rotten before I ever get anywhere near close to it. But if you could do it, without the elephant rotting away, you got to do it one bite at a time. It's gonna take you a long time. You don't worry about the size of the elephant or how long it's going to take you to eat it. You just start eating, some parts are going to be good.

6:06 Well, I actually I'm still here. So I think I have pretty good luck. And then I've had the good luck of getting through this, because this prepared me for the next thing. And I've had the good luck of getting through that because it prepared me for the next thing.

So yes, laughter actually does produce your measurable health benefits. Not only physical health but mental health. I think having mental health oftentimes When you're in dire straits, where your physical health is failing, your mental health will pull you through the day.

21:28 in this story of the Zen Master, this teaches you to look at the future for the possibilities that may come regardless of what you do. But it also teaches you to try your best to influence the possibilities of what may come and not judge what the future may hold, based off of today's predictions.

37:50 I think the biggest thing is don't ever let somebody else tell you that your goal is wrong or unimportant. Your goal is your goal that that's all that matters to you.

He invented REDACT, the world’s first global R&D database and search engine to assist companies in identifying which intellectual property is of value to foreign governments. He is the founder and organizer of Suits & Spooks (now Safe House Global), a “collision” event to discuss hard challenges in the national security space. | Jeffrey has contracted with the CIA’s Open Source Center’s Eurasia Desk as a Russia SME (2010), and has provided cyber intelligence briefings to the DIA, the FBI, and the Chief of Naval Operations Strategic Study Group. He has been a frequent lecturer at the U.S. Air Force Institute of Technology and the U.S. Army War College, and was a technical peer reviewer for Tallinn 2.0, the second edition of the Tallinn Manual on the International Law Applicable To Cyber Operations.

- The first S&S gathering, ten years ago, was based on the concern that social media was becoming a dangerous tool for disinformation...how right that was | - With September's event we're focusing on Ukraine's defense against the Russian invasion | - Gazprom, the Russian oil company, has had at least three unexplained explosions in recent months...this is a perfect example of "multi-modal warfare" | - Adversaries no longer require physical access to damage the enemy's resources | - "Robot surgery" has caused many more injuries and deaths than the medical industry is talking about...what if these basic malfunctions could be weaponized?

00:34 We have an interesting balancing, you know, there's checks and balances baked into the system of liberty, freedom, freedom of capitalism or freedom or controls in a capitalized a capitalistic controlled system like you're describing, the Soviets discovered that central control is extremely cumbersome, but effective control. And in the end, you know, they collapse from the weight of trying to control everything.

4:07 The US doesn't have a choice anymore, and hasn't had a choice for a number of years, where it must go outside of his borders, to hire talent.

5:04 We have not emphasized science and math, in our educational system here, and other countries have. So we're relying on those individuals with those skills from outside of the US. Same with getting the necessary components, right to supply our, our products, or having even having products made overseas, that for whatever reason, you know, we can't afford the labor or we can't afford some other aspect of it.

10:26 There are costs to that distrust, massive costs downstream, we're going to find we're finding already, no man is an island. This is fundamentally the same as interpersonal relationships.

19:41 Your news feed should have a mix of points of view. So that it gets you to think well, how can two things be true? Well, probably it cannot. So how do you discern what's real and what isn't? And because in that happens when you have a variety of points To view, on the other hand, social media does not do that it does the exact opposite.

25:06 I think it has to come down to individuals making informed choices about what they do and why they do it. And what the repercussions are if they don't do it. And then hopefully they'll, you know, make the right choice.

In intelligence we're always questioning our assumptions | - Critical thinking requires an understanding of the at least 60, distinct, "logical fallacies" humans tend to slip into | - Safehouse.Global was originally called "Suits and Spooks" | - Safehouse is a series of convocations designed to bring disparate voices to the table and improve shared understanding for better national security solutions | - It's only through expanding our view that we can recognize real threats to security...for example, the Chinese and American governments are both "experiments" in national structures - but ours is not working as effectively as theirs, in real time.

1:32 We need to be a better people, we as human beings, we as Americans need to be more open minded more according to our ideals, the the idea of diversity, the idea of honoring dissent, discussing with respect debating things effectively. And that's where it's important to bring in different voices and different perspectives. So we'll be talking about an organization, a series of events that were formerly called suits and spooks.

5:29 So, in order to help determine what's true, or what's, you know, objectively provable, you have to invite alternative views. That's the only way that that you'll be able to discover what's hiding behind your particular set of biases.

20:18 So the system that we have in place for determining what is secure and and what is not secure is it's really, it's really never secure. It's only what degree of insecure Are you willing to accept?

26:27 That's the price we paid. When we adopted the internet. And we adopted moving everything to the cloud, right? The benefit, the benefits are many. Downside, you're more vulnerable now than ever before.

4:03 This guest is a very close personal friend of mine. And I really admire his incredible ability to not only do the red teaming work that he'll talk about, and how you in in the audience can listen to can find ways to apply this critical thinking, alternative analysis and ways to look at the world through different lenses.

26:22 I try not to overestimate my capabilities, by having respect, and better understanding how that other entity that other organizations, how they, as best I can, how they think, and how they prepare and do actions and stuff like that.

27:26 It's like a QR fo quick reaction force for better thinking, using methods, using analytical techniques to think through a problem set and get better answers is never a bad thing. And empathy, being able to understand to perceive the other person or other organizations, other side's experience of the of the conflict, or another situation is not agreeing with it.

39:04 So I love this quote, I've been capturing your you're taking notes on what you've said. You meant you made a conscious comment about have a better conversation.

A Life of Service and Sacrifice with Navy SEAL Captain Pete "Bullfrog" Wikul, part 2.

3:44 He said, P look, Time Magazine, we got the Nobel Peace Prize. I said, get out of here.

5:05 But sometimes it's nice to know that the end thing of what we're doing is going to bring about peace. So we can go back home and, and drink beer around the campfire and prepare for the next fight. Because you need some peace in between there well, knowing that we live in a tumultuous, violent world, and probably war is not going away for the next 100 years or so.

10:43 He's finger punching. This is really colonel and he's saying Now you listen here. You're a soldier, and I'm a soldier, and I'm not gonna let you kill women and children here today in this village. And I thought, great, you know, and you're almost thinking, Okay, we're gonna die today. You don't think that but it's somewhere way back in your head. And you're trying to think, Okay, we got to solve this problem.

19:13 Peace is part of the continuum of war. I mean, they're intertwined because as soon as you liberate something, even a world war two or any other place, as soon as you live liberate a village, we now have a responsibility to try to bring them back to some sort of normalcy.

22:40 It's not about devastation. It's about establishing security and stability.

25:28 So my first rule was take care of your people, they're your most important assets.

29:46 And even when you don't [win], you're the man in the arena, so always be proud that you are the man or you are the woman in the arena.

3:17 There's no one best thing to be in the world as just being truly yourself as the best thing.

10:58 I'm going to do a couple things. I want to be a jazz drummer. But in the meantime, I'm also going to help homeless veterans find a place to live and a job I still wanted to give a little bit back, although, you know, when you do close to 40 years, some people say, Oh, you were giving back. I said, I don't have to get back I already gave. I gave 40 years.

11:23 All of us that have served, we can't get it out of our blood. We can't get it out of our psyche, we can't.

21:54 Now I have this incredible jazz band with Grammy Award winning and critically acclaimed and ageless musicians. And if you ask me why I'm playing with these guys, I can only tell you, it's directed by God, you know, now I can swing them.

23:41 The first part of my destiny was being a Man at Arms was being a Navy SEAL. And, and not everybody gets it really gets a destiny because life gets in the way, as a kid, you know what you want to do, but life gets in the way, and you never get a chance to do it.

33:01 Something, we never talked about it. The mission is the music. You count. And this is the beauty. It's just like going on a mission. You start play, you count down that tune, you play the tune. And if somebody makes a mistake, they don't. But if I make a little mistake, they jump on my grenade and they do something so nobody knows that I may have just made a mistake. Awesome.

4:17 I'm going to introduce our topic today of human trafficking with an expert in the field and a current active champion in the field of human trafficking.

6:05 I went back to the teams where I was part of a unit specialized in targeting and operations and Intelligence Fusion. And really what we're doing was focusing on violent extremist networks, and really trying to take a network approach as opposed to playing whack a mole, which, up to that point, you know, the military is very good, you kill one bomb maker, and the next one builds plays.

10:58 Traffickers only look at their victims as commodities, they are not viewed as humans, they are not viewed as viable beings with a life of soul or anything else, they are simply a can of soup.

16:21 And it's something that I think is alarming for a lot of people because you never see it. You never touch it, you never feel it. You never actually see it. And if you see it, you don't know what you're even looking at.

44:06 That's a really really important point that goes to Stephen Covey's circles of influence in circles of concern today most people on social are focused on their in their circle of concern, like Oh, I'm really interested in this topic and they waste their time learning about stuff they literally can have no effect on

46:11 hey, that little piece, right? You make it better. And frankly, that's the that should be the goal, to leave things a little bit better than the way you found it.

2:17 This week, we've managed to bring back a previous guest who went over like a very popular discussion with medical with science with health with cutting edge with holistic understanding about how the body is more than just meat. There's an emotional aspect to our life which affects our physical there's a mental aspect that affects our emotional and our physical.

6:59 So there's five different areas first, the first and foremost is to move.

7:40 It's finding an activity that you enjoy doing. And something that you're passionate about, that actually gets you moving. So it especially breaking up those times, if you a lot of people now working from home.

13:25 Number two is going to be hydration. So we talked about water, the quality of water and different things in our last episode. And so there's a lot, a lot of people don't realize the extent of dehydration, that they have that like the degree of dehydration.

17:50 Number three, that really is just overall self care. So a lot of people we we end up taking care of other people all the time, we're always looking to see you know, what we can do for other people all the time. And we failed to take care of ourselves.

26:59 Diet is a lifestyle, what you eat, day to day is your diet. Not it's not a crash course, and you know, you know, 14 days to lose 10 pounds or, you know, whatever it is, it's, it's about how you how you have a variety in your diet, it's the portion control.

43:09 Lastly, but not leastly is recover. So we kind of touched on this throughout some of these other ones, but really making it a point making it a major thing, because a lot of these overlap, but you know, sleep, in particular, getting the sleep that you need.

48:49 But clearing out the RAM. That way we can function properly, we can be better, we can be faster, we can be smarter, we can make better decisions, because when we have all these things going on all around us all the time, it can be very overwhelming.

Leading Your Team by Developing Yourself, with Daveed Gartenstein-Ross

2:17 The goal is simply put is to understand predict an act to empower clients as they navigate and address emergent challenges rooted in security technology and changing global society.

3:37 Because again, my book was released 10 years ago yesterday, we're doing a big event this month, about the powerful Peacemaker workshop in late July, and I want folks to jump in on that. But also July 5 of 2022 is the date of publication of another work by a guy know, tell us about your new book.

5:17 I think part of what was misunderstood is the way that groups like these engage in organizational learning, there's a lot more that you can't see on the surface.

9:15 You have Marshall McLuhan in the 1960s stated seven years, famously said the media is the message. Really, the medium by which we communicate really determines the message there. He was talking about the move to broadcasting media to television, and now we have the move to social media with much more sloganeering, very rapid communication. It's very easy for you know, lies or half truths, or misrepresentations or simplifications to travel quickly and for ideas to harden around that.

20:14 You know, the internet, like a gun like a hammer, like your car is purely agnostic. It's what people choose to do with it, that creates the result. So the internet can't do anything by itself. It just sits there and waits for people to use it to exploit it for positive or negative activities.

37:46 To me, the wisdom of a 360 is not that you see what people think. And you do what's going to make you more popular. Instead, it's really use the wisdom contained there to understand what am I doing wrong?

42:32 And your job of growth as a leader is never linear.

Kristy Klein has been a part of Impact Actual since the very beginning. She was a client of Rob's many years back, and their conversations planted the seed that led to the concept of the first "Impact Coach" certification. Her full time career is as scientist and program manager as a Government Civilian. The leadership skills she has honed and grown over the 10+ years in her career translate well in to her coaching. Kristy also has a long history as a triathlete and endurance athlete over almost 20 years, in addition to coaching. This experience in racing and training for grueling events has allowed her to hone skills in mental resilience and endurance, along with the physical aspect. These skills have helped her rebound and rebuild after some major health issues reared their ugly heads and brought her personal athletic career as she knew it to a grinding halt. Being a coach and helping others become more well rounded in life and in sports is now her passion.

2:51 Because again, as I as I scanned over there, all of this came from accidents, good fortune intersections, and quick relationships and things leading to things. So let's go back though to talk about you personally, you, you are a scientist, I like to just use that simple term because I don't understand what it is.

4:39 you mentioned doing it like methodically, you said that you liked the way it was done structurally. That actually kind of segues right back to being scientific in the method and so forth following step by step that makes sense that will be appealing to somebody as compared to loosey goosey intuition based only like hey, how you feeling today, let's talk about your feelings. It's saying you You know, we're going to hold accountability, what do you what's next, never stay in the comfort zone too long, basically right step to the next thing, move on to the next thing. And that is a really big part of your story.

8:55 It only happened a couple of years ago, and I've had some peaks and valleys with my conditions ever since it's not like I got diagnosed and got on medication and life was back to hunky dory. You know, there's been little sub peaks and valleys coming through that in the last four years or so since I got diagnosed. So, you know, it's still a work in progress. You know, this is, is a lifetime process. It's not like, you know, when you go through these programs, when I do all this stuff, it's not like I do it, close the book and, and move on.

14:57 I never realized how small my goals were Until I realized how big I am.

20:59 right, I'm not going to tell you life's gonna be rosy and you go through this and you're never going to have a problem again in your life. Now that's not that's life happens and life is full of problems. It's just gives you better skills and coping mechanisms to maybe later on, get through that a lot quicker, a lot easier to get through your problems easier, or, you know, faster or whatever, it gives you better coping skills.

33:55 But until you get it off your chest, you can't move past it. And that's the thing. I mean, like I keep talking about glossy trifold we're not we're not two dimensional images of ourselves in the impact world. We're about being 100% real 360 whole person and saying you can't shock me bring it to me.

"Next-Generation Treatment Options for Combat PTSD," with Amber and Marcus Capone of SEAL Team SIX. When he was medically retired after 13 years. and multiple combat deployments as a U.S. Navy SEAL, Marcus Capone and his wife, Amber, thought that life would return to normal. Instead, their struggle had just begun. Marcus was experiencing an escalating myriad of challenges, including depression, isolation, cognitive impairment, excessive alcohol use, headaches, insomnia, and impulsivity.

Marcus was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), but, instinctively, Amber felt there was more to be discovered. After learning about the effects of blast waves, concussive, and sub concussive brain injuries, everything started to become clear. Marcus’ military career as an explosives expert, combined with his prior years of contact sports, had left him with the invisible wounds of traumatic brain injury (TBI), a condition that has significant overlap with PTSD, and is often not properly diagnosed.

1:11 Another friend of mine who told me he was taking the cocktail, and the VA gives you this massive or the or the military gives you a massive cocktail of antidepressants or stimulants or whatever the the pattern may be of medications and medications alone are often not the solution, often not the solution to PTSD or whatever. There's a mental illness involved.

3:02 After multiple combat deployments, Marcus and Emerson realized that the subsequent years would be wrought with escalating hardships misdiagnosis, a broken veteran healthcare system and desperation to find a meaningful solution before it was too late.

13:20 Helping guys get access to different type of treatment modalities that are really helping full like mind, body and soul.

24:16 But right now, today, if you don't do the proper integration, excuse me preparation before these psychedelic journeys, and then the proper integration afterwards, you know, you can you're it's it could be a recipe for disaster, you want to do these, you know, you want to go into these experiences with all the tools and all the information you need.

29:11 Many of these deep psychedelic journeys, by the way that are not fun, that are like a lot of work and you're, you know, you're in a bed, or resting in some type of palette, because you're, you're on, you're on a heavy, heavy dose of these medicines. When you're on these medicines, they tap into your subconscious and they reach down and they make you deal with some of those traumas that potentially can be causing you to have that addiction.

33:52 I think it's so important to you know, like, we're from a community of very good soldiers, but also very unconventional thinking individuals. And so I think that that goes for both the guys and the spouses is very much the case.

42:43 That's perfect vet solutions.org I want to point everybody to that. Open your minds, you know, dear listener, in your mind.

Steve now works part time as a fitness coach. He recently decided to convert his Ford Escape SUV into a tent on wheels. He enjoys both stealth and traditional camping. He’s been married 22 years and they are raising two amazing teenage sons.

2:30 because it is possible if you're dealing with it right now, whether you're military or not military, the thing that I came away with have come away with is that it's not about the military trauma is not about being a combat veteran trauma is about being human being experienced something.

4:32 when I was a kid, I don't know about you, but I was told you can't say anything about this. And so not only was I subconsciously knowing that I was shameful and dark, but I was also told hey, this is shameful and dark to be telling the body there's going to be event you think it's bad now wait to see the consequences of sharing this and looking back, I'm like, Oh my gosh, if I would have just snitched on who was doing whatever they were doing.

8:17 Because as chaotic as the army was it also gave me the structure that I absolutely needed to get me out of the stuff I was doing.

14:07 So wherever combat happens, doesn't make that place bad. It's just where it happens to be. So I rack to me, I look at it as just going through such a dark period. And such, just, you know, it's just so different over there. And you never forget how different it is.

20:49 And slowly, I just started to really become scared to live and decided that life is just too dangerous. And this is all unconscious, of course, you know, but I started slowing down my life.

44:05 know that's I think it's important to share the reason because death has always been part of my trauma. Which is why I'm obsessed and I find myself obsessed with the concept of death. Not wanting it but also seeing it as an eventual way, way way down the road relief, but not now. Hell no, I want to keep going. And I and even though it hurts, and it's scary, and I have panic attacks, and I sweat and I get, you know, scared. I'm alive.
