Straight Talk - Mind and Muscle Podcast

I'm thrilled to bring you the latest from our podcast world, and this time, we've got a real treat. I had the pleasure of sitting down with the incredible Sean Gallagher, a man whose life reads like an action-packed novel. From bodyguard to the stars to a mentor in self-defense, Sean's journey is nothing short of fascinating.

🌟 **Life Lessons from a Bodyguard to the Stars**
Sean's story kicks off with a twist of fate that led him from a potential military career to becoming the trusted protector of celebrities like Kate Moss, Sylvester Stallone, Beyonce and Jennifer Lopez. His tales of training, dedication, and the importance of local knowledge will have you hooked. Imagine being the only man trusted in the inner sanctum of a royal household – Sean's been there, done that.

🛡️ **The Art of Protection**
We dive deep into the world of close protection, where terms like "residential security team" and "one-on-one" are demystified. Sean shares the critical values of trust, professionalism, and integrity that are the backbone of his work. Plus, he spills the beans on how to navigate high-risk environments with celebrities, minus the ego and flashiness.

🧠 **Mental Health and the Warrior's Path**
Sean's transition from full-time bodyguard to educator is a story of resilience. He opens up about his personal battles with adrenal fatigue and the importance of holistic health. It's a powerful reminder that even the toughest among us need to prioritise our well-being.

🔍 **The Misconceptions of Mental Health**
In a candid moment, Sean discusses the often-misunderstood link between hormone levels and psychology. His personal experience with misdiagnosis is a wake-up call to anyone struggling with depression to seek comprehensive medical care.

This episode is packed with insights that go beyond the glitz and glamour of celebrity protection. It's about the human experience, the unexpected turns in life, and the wisdom gained along the way.

So, are you ready to be inspired, informed, and maybe even a little entertained? Join me on this incredible journey with Sean Gallagher. Trust me, you won't want to miss a minute of it.

Inside the Mind of SIR STEVE HANSEN- 
KNZM[ and High Chief of Vaiala,
Head Coach of the world's most successful rugby team- The All Blacks

An absolutely riveting chat with none other than Sir Steve Hansen, the legendary former coach of the All Blacks, and I'm buzzing with excitement to share some of the golden nuggets from our conversation on the latest episode of the Straight Talk Mind Muscle Podcast.

🏉 Coaching Philosophy & Integrating New Talent - Steve delved into the heart of his coaching philosophy, revealing how he sets clear expectations for new players and instills in them a belief in their own worth. Imagine being told you're good enough to contribute to one of the most successful teams in sports history – that's the kind of empowering culture  Steve fostered.
Emphasising his purpose and intent for coaching—giving back to the sport and fostering a team-first mentality over individual accolades. 

🤝 Teamwork Over Individual Glory We explored the transformative shift within the All Blacks, moving from individual competition to a collective pursuit of excellence.  Steve's focus on building better, stronger individuals within a team framework is a lesson for us all, whether on the field or in the office.

🧠 The Mental Game The mental side of sports is often overlooked, but not in this interview. Steve shared his wish that he'd had more psychological insights during his playing days, highlighting the critical role of mindset in achieving peak performance in the modern day sports arena.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Balancing High Performance with Fa5225mily  -Transitioning from the intensity of rugby to home life, Steve opened up about the support from his wife, Tash, and the importance of being present for those we love. It's a powerful reminder of the balance we all strive for between our passions and our personal lives.

🙏 Authenticity and Personal Growth - Steve's reflections on the importance of actions over words, self-identity, and the journey of self-improvement were nothing short of inspiring. His advice to his younger self about self-love and the ability to change resonated deeply with me, and I'm sure it will with you too.

🗣️ Communication & Continuous Evolution -Drawing from his time as a police officer, Steve emphasised the power of communication, a skill just as vital in coaching as it is in law enforcement. He shared the importance of team culture, mental fortitude, and personal development, highlighting how he remains calm under pressure, a skill honed from his days as a police officer and other jobs he had as a young man.

We covered his current role as a director of rugby for Japan, the evolution of coaching strategies, and the value of humility and learning from others. 

This episode is packed with wisdom not just for athletes or coaches, but for anyone looking to lead, inspire, and grow in all areas of life. I can't wait for you to listen and absorb the incredible insights from Sir Steve Hansen.

Steve’s openness and insights reveal a comprehensive view of leadership that integrates his purpose for coaching—giving back and developing a cohesive, resilient team—while also maintaining a personal commitment to calmness, steady guidance and helping others

Without further ado- I give you the most powerful show I have ever had the pleasure to be a part of- The Honourable Sir Steve John William Hansen - Knights Companion of The New Zealand Order of Merit (KNZM)  High Chief of Vaiala, and Coach of the world's most successful rugby team- T

In this captivating episode, former US Police Officer Kirsten Morgan regales listeners with her compelling journey through a distinguished career within the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department. 

From her childhood aspirations to her dynamic roles including seven years on the SWAT team and diplomatic protection, Kirsten shares riveting anecdotes and insights.

Reflecting on her experiences, Kirsten recounted a pivotal moment during an active shooter situation at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte (UNCC). 
Part of the responding SWAT team arriving, Kirsten heard firsthand accounts from victims, which emphasised the chaos and terror of the event.

She shared a poignant quote from these victims, who likened the gunfire to fireworks, serving as a stark reminder of the unpredictable nature of real-world threats, that being “I Thought It Was Just Fireworks”
Kirsten underscores the importance of preparedness and decisive action in such critical scenarios, and now teaches this at her company and on social media.
After her law enforcement career, Kirsten spoke about the venture, Overmatch Consulting, dedicated to providing situational awareness and providing high-quality, practical training to individuals and organisations.
Inspired by figures like Special Forces Veteran Kevin Owens, she emphasises the stark contrast between real-life law enforcement situations and training exercises.

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.

Barrie Rice NZSAS

Addressing the Demons- Through The Dark Times To Live A Better Life

Today I spoke with Barrie Rice, former New Zealand SAS Operator, Reality TV star, Movie Advisor and Actor, Author and one of the Original Blackwater Private Military Contractors. 

I would like to thank Geoff “Tank” Todd of the https://toddgroup.com/ for connecting us and making this amazing interview happen.

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.

Now you WON’T find Barrie on Instagram- or other social media at all- but

-SHOW UP
-WORK HARD
-LEARN
-EVOLVE

In this episode I interviewed Tyler Schwartz, known as Compound Cowboy, about his career as a strength and conditioning coach and his personal battles with mental health after the Military.

Tyler shared his experiences with a suicide attempt, substance abuse, and the critical role of support and communication in overcoming such obstacles. 

We discussed the necessity for preparedness in unexpected situations, the significance of de-escalation in self-defence, and the customised training offered at Tyler's compound, including specialised programs for veterans and first responders. 

The conversation covered the importance of “controlling the controllables  ” , the role of nutrition and supplements, the financial benefits of wellness, and the human inclination to avoid pain and seek pleasure. 

Tyler invites you all to connect with him for support, highlighting his dedication to helping others.

During the show, Tyler also spoke about his wedding, describing it as a pivotal moment that strengthened his resolve to turn his life around.  His wife became his rock, providing unwavering support through his darkest times. 

Together, they became a formidable team, complementing each other's strengths and fortifying one another's weaknesses. Their partnership is a testament to the power of love and teamwork in the face of adversity.

Special mention goes out to former guest Ollie Ollerton who he spoke about, acknowledging his contributions to the field and the impact he also makes on individuals facing similar struggles.

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.

Mike Sarraille
Natural Born LEADER
Former Seal Team Officer
World Record Holder, Adventurer

"Legacy Expeditions and Folds of Honor: On a Mission to Support Veterans"

In this episode, I had the pleasure of welcoming Mike Sarraille - a retired Navy Seal, Entrepreneur, CEO, BestSelling Author and Podcast Host.
But, most of all- Mike is a Proud Leader- not proud in himself - but immensely proud of his TEAMS- and this is a true part of his DNA.

Mike’s impressive titles and accomplishments are truly remarkable, including breaking the longstanding skydiving world record by ending it-landing on trees-  during the Triple 7  expedition in Australia.

In just 6 days, 6 hours and 6 minutes, his team, and him broke the world record for skydiving 7 continents.  It was fascinating to hear Mike's perspective on titles and how they hold significance when you're young, but as you grow older, what truly matters is your credibility, reputation, character, and integrity.

One of the highlights of our conversation was delving into the intense training and preparation that went into their record-breaking skydiving mission.

Mike emphasised the importance of utilising technology and the unique mindset of special operations personnel. It was incredible to hear about the level of precision and focus required to execute such a daring feat.

We also touched on the challenges of transitioning from the military family and achievements to civilian life. Mike shared his personal experiences and the difficulties he faced when reintegrating into society. It was eye-opening to hear about the struggles many veterans encounter, such as finding a sense of purpose in and adapting to a different lifestyle. 

Mike's insights shed light on the importance of providing support and resources to help veterans navigate this transition successfully.

Towards the end of our conversation, we discussed the charity mission of Legacy Expeditions, an organisation founded by Mike. Legacy Expeditions aims to provide veterans with opportunities for personal growth and adventure through outdoor expeditions. Mike shared how these expeditions not only offer a chance for veterans to challenge themselves physically and mentally but also regain and foster a strong sense of camaraderie and teamwork.

Legacy Expeditions has been instrumental in helping veterans find a new sense of purpose and belonging after their military service. It was inspiring to hear about the positive impact this organization has had on the lives of so many individuals. Mike's dedication to giving back to his fellow veterans is truly commendable.

Overall, my conversation with Mike was enlightening and thought-provoking. 

His experiences as a Navy SEAL and his journey transitioning into civilian life provided valuable insights into the unique challenges faced by veterans. 

Moreover, his work with Legacy Expeditions exemplifies the power of teamwork, personal growth, and giving back to the community by providing college scholarships to the spouses, children and dependents of fallen military and emergency services heroes.


Thank you, Mike, for joining me today and sharing your incredible insights and experiences. It has been an absolute pleasure having you on the show.

LEGACY EXPEDITIONS

Welcome to another amazing guest- Nick Kush.

In this captivating episode of the Straight Talk Mind and Muscle podcast, I’d like  you to meet my guest and friend, who shares his incredible experience with Legacy Expeditions.


We began with Nick's involvement in starting- and finishing in world record fashion- the amazing project called Legacy Expeditions, which involved doing seven skydives on seven continents in seven days. 

We talked about the planning process, the charity they supported (Folds of Honor), and the challenges they faced during the expedition. 

We discussed the power of the human mind, the importance of teamwork, and the significance of finding a mission and purpose in life. The episode concludes with reflections on the expedition and the lessons learned.

This project involved a mind-boggling challenge of completing seven skydives on seven continents in just seven days. 

One of the most remarkable aspects of Legacy Expeditions was the charity they chose to support, Folds of Honor. 
This organization provides educational scholarships to the spouses and children of fallen and disabled service members. 
Nick and his team were deeply moved by the mission of Folds of Honor and were determined to make a significant impact through their skydiving endeavor.

The planning process for Legacy Expeditions was no small feat. Nick explains that they had to meticulously coordinate logistics, travel arrangements, and skydiving permits across seven continents. This required extensive research, communication with local authorities, and careful consideration of weather conditions. 
The team's dedication and attention to detail were crucial in ensuring the success of their mission.

However, the challenges they faced during the expedition were not limited to logistical hurdles. Nick recounts the physical and mental strain they endured throughout the seven-day journey. 

Skydiving is an inherently risky activity, and performing multiple jumps in such a short period of time pushed their limits to the extreme. The team had to maintain peak physical fitness and mental resilience to overcome fatigue and stay focused on their goal.

Furthermore, Nick highlights the power of the human mind and the importance of teamwork in achieving extraordinary feats. He emphasises that having a strong mindset and a clear mission were essential in overcoming the obstacles they encountered. The team's unwavering determination and support for one another played a crucial role in their success.

We touch upon the significance of finding a mission and purpose in life.

Nick shares how his involvement in Legacy Expeditions allowed him to combine his passion for adventure with a meaningful cause. He believes that having a purpose-driven life not only brings personal fulfilment but also inspires others to pursue their own dreams and make a positive impact in the world.

Reflecting on the expedition, Nick expressed his gratitude for the incredible experiences and lessons learned. He acknowledges the immense support they received from their sponsors, partners, and the global skydiving community. 

This episode provides a captivating insight into the awe-inspiring Legacy Expeditions. Nick Kush's account of the planning process, the charity they supported, and the challenges they faced showcases the power of determination, teamwork, and finding a mission in life.

Their extraordinary journey serves as a testament to the Special Operations Community and the human spirit's ability to overcome obstacles and make a lasting impact.
