I know at times, it seems like the people doing the wrong thing are constantly being rewarded for their bad behavior. Does that mean you just give up and join them? Why keep fighting the good fight and get punished for it, you may ask? I firmly believe good always trumps evil as long as the good continues to fight. We can't give up we have to keep fighting and doing the right thing. As I always say, once you cross that line, there is no going back.

Frank Larkin is a former Navy SEAL and so was his son Ryan, who died by suicide in 2017. As part of his commitment to Troops First and its Warrior Call initiative, Larkin says he wants to educate people about undiagnosed physical injuries to the brain that warriors may suffer during their service, as with Ryan, that can spark a downward spiral. Larkin has served as a Navy SEAL, as a Maryland State Trooper-Flight Paramedic, as a special agent for 21 years in the U.S. Secret Service rising to deputy assistant director and chief technology officer, and for nearly four years as the U.S. Senate Sergeant at Arms. He also served as a senior leader in the Department of Defense's Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization, the combat support agency tasked with countering IED's and extremist organizations employing them against U.S. forces, and in senior positions at Raytheon Corp., Lockheed Martin Corp. and SAP National Security Services. He volunteers as a firefighter-paramedic with the Annapolis, Maryland, Fire Department. About the Warrior Call organization: WHO IS WARRIOR CALL: We are a network of former active-duty service members and veterans, their friends and families whose aim is to save lives and curtail suicides among those who served the nation WHAT WE DO: We spur greater connection. We make calls to warriors -- to veterans and service members who may be isolated and disconnected from services. We steer them to services. We encourage all Americans to make these warrior calls. Together, we save lives. WHY WARRIOR CALL IS ESSENTIAL: Many of those who are suffering are not seeking help or treatment, thus reinforcing the need for a call to these warriors from a former battle buddy, friend or family member. Up to two-thirds of veterans who take their own lives have had no contact with the Department of Veterans Affairs. 
 The COVID pandemic has only increased isolation and disconnection. 
 According to the VA, researchers have identified social isolation as "arguably the strongest and most reliable predictor of suicidal ideation, [suicide] attempts and lethal suicidal behavior." 
 Invisible wounds linked to an underlying and undiagnosed traumatic brain injury can mirror many mental health conditions, underscoring the need to connect with service members and veterans and steer them to services. 
 The rapid unraveling of Afghanistan has spurred anguish and frustration among those who served there. HOW YOU CAN HELP – MAKE A WARRIOR CALL: Whether you are a veteran, active-duty service member, national guard, family member or friend, you can make a difference by connecting with someone who is wearing or who has worn the uniform. Connecting can facilitate honest dialogue, create a desire to stay in contact and help define a viable path forward. Here’s what to do: 1) Make a call and connection to a warrior.
2) Have an honest conversation. See how they are doing.
3) Connect them with Vets4Warriors, a clearinghouse for resources. Their contact information is 1-855-838- 8255 and www.vets4warriors.com Episode Resources: Get 10% off and free shipping off your entire order at www.thesimplelifenow.com with coupon code: podcast10 * Support The Simple Life Podcast by donating at: https://thesimplelifenow.com/product-category/consulting/#donate Show Sponsors which helps keep this show free! *Use special promo code WATPVT15 with the link below for We The People Holsters and get 15% off your order! * Use special promo code AFFILTRX15 with the link below for TRX Training Systems and get 15% off your order! https://thesimplelifenow.com/wethepeople/ https://thesimplelifenow.com/mitoredlight/ https://thesimplelifenow.com/relaxsaunas/ https://thesimplelifenow.com/mypatriotsupply/ https://thesimplelifenow.com/trx-training/ https://thesimplelifenow.com/acre-gold/ https://thesimplelifenow.com/berkeyfilters/ https://thesimplelifenow.com/wholelattelove/ https://thesimplelifenow.com/kuiu/ * Or you can see all the show sponsors in one convenient place here: https://thesimplelifenow.com/sponsors * See what Gary is reading and his recommended reading list here: https://thesimplelifenow.com/reading/ * Where to send your questions: contact@thesimplelifenow.com * The Simple Life Rumble page: https://rumble.com/thesimplelifenow * The Simple Life Website: https://www.thesimplelifenow.com * Make sure to signup and be a member of The Simple Life Insider's Circle at: https://www.thesimplelifenow.com/the-simple-life/

Today, I'm joined by two special guests who are also involved in the movement of living your best life, your way. Jen Smith and Jill Sirianni teach people how to get their debt and personal finances in order and have a fabulous podcast called Frugal Friends. Today, we discuss their personal journeys to financial freedom, and how you can accomplish the same. Just like everything in life, change is not easy, but the cherry pie waiting for you at the end is well worth it. A bit about Jen: I got in touch with my inner frugal when my husband Travis and I paid off $78,000 of debt in less than two years. I’ve always been frugal but it used to be because I had the mindset that I was broke. It’s been a journey to realize that being frugal isn’t about necessity but being a better steward of your time and resources. I’m always learning to become a more intentional spender and I like to help bring my friends along with me. Whether it’s through my blog, Modern Frugality, through my books:The No-Spend Challenge GuideandMeal Planning on a Budget, and now the Frugal Friends podcast! A bit about Jill: Frugality runs in my veins! For me, this means digging for treasure at thrift stores and spending Saturday mornings at yard sales, but it also means living simply, paying off debt, and having a blast with my husband, Eric. Our most notable frugal decision was that time we decided to live in a motorhome to save on expenses and pay off student loans. We own our own remodeling business, and I am a social worker by day, so I understand the budget struggle! With my DIY skills and frugal knowledge, I hope to help you in your journey, and I look forward to learning with you along the way!

Today, I have a very special guest, Rob Kendall of the highly successful Rob and Casey Show on WIBC 93.1 FM in Indiana. Since the most recent polls show the popularity of Donald Trump not waving as the favorite to represent the Republican Party for President in 2024, is he good or bad for the country? Do we have any rational choices beyond Trump or are we stuck with him? Can someone rise up against the noise in the next two-and-a-half years and truly represent the most prominent political demographic in the U.S., us in the middle? We also have very exciting news, as we are continuing to announce Rob, Judah, and my new podcast collaboration: The Right Dudes. People may be surprised we created this podcast as a way to communicate and represent those who are more in the middle politically. So the name is a bit of a play on words, but we are not messing around, as we cover many timely subjects in our new podcast. Go check it out at www.therightdudes.com and on any major podcast platform.

Welcome to another episode of "Ask Gary Anything." This is where you, the audience, get to send in your questions about anything, and I will answer them. That is right, you heard it... anything, because that is how I roll! On a fairly regular basis, I pick questions sent to me from my ever-growing list, and answer them on this podcast. If you want to have your question (s) considered, simply fill out the contact form on my website www.thesimplelifenow.com, or better yet become a member of "The Simple Life Insider's Circle" link is at the bottom of the show notes. Today, we have some great questions: 1. (Matt K) I am a firefighter/paramedic with fifteen years experience in the field and I am seriously considering a career change. Due to work related health concerns like PTSD, anxiety, depression and insomnia, I no longer feel like my career is a healthy fit for me and my family. I still love my job, but I just don't think I can do it anymore. The idea of changing careers really intimidates me. All my formal education and work experience is in emergency services. I like the idea of owning my own business and having some flexibility and control to make a living on my own terms. That being said,I don't know where to go or what my first steps should be. For context, I am thirty-seven years old, healthy, debt-free, married and I have a child. My interests include writing, yoga, meditation, fitness, hiking, rock climbing, gardening and studying history. Any thoughts on my situation? Should I suck it up and stick with the safe option, or branch out and try something new? 2. (Kristy P) Where in the US would you suggest someone who lives on the east coast and has never been west of the Mississippi go for a vacation? 3. (Susie B) Do you ever go to a doctor for checkup’s? If not, why? And lastly, any advice on how to undo the brainwashing of the people who truly can’t see what is going on or the health issues they’re experiencing are from the jabbadabado? Is there hope?

Today I continue the discussion of the sociopaths amongst us. Make sure to go back to episode 156 to understand how to recognize them. This episode will focus on how the deal with them after you have been caught in their snare. You will not avoid them in today's society, so it is essential you put together a "sociopath survival" plan, and that is what we are going to do today. Topics Covered: 1 Realizing you will not avoid them, some people just don't have a conscious. 2 Why you should never engage them? 3 They cannot and do not want to be saved; do not try to do so. 4 Know what your weak spots are. 5 Cut your losses.

We may often think that most sociopaths/psychopaths are violent criminals and serving long prisons. If we may say, put away for a long time to shield society from their evils. What if I was to tell you, not only is that not what is happening, but most sociopaths are roaming free in society. Matter of fact, the odds of you avoiding one is nearly impossible. In today's episode, I go over the personality traits that put a person into the sociopath category. I will teach you how to identify and ultimately how to avoid the everyday sociopath, as they could be your colleague, your neighbor, or even a loved one. * Support The Simple Life Podcast and enjoy it ad free by being a member and subscriber at: https://thesimplelifenow.com/register/the-simple-life-membership/ Topics Covered: * What is the difference between a sociopath and a psychopath * A sociopath is defined when they have 3 of these 7 characteristics by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders: 1. Failure to conform to social norms. 2. Deceitfulness and manipulativeness. 3. Impulsivity, failure to plan ahead. 4. Irritability and aggressiveness. 5. Reckless disregard for the safety of self and others. 6. Consistent irresponsibility. 7. Lack of remorse after hurting, mistreating, or stolen from another person. * You may be surprised where most sociopaths are not.

In my continued pursuit of helping others and presenting the truth, I'm proud to announce the launch of my new podcast with Judah Friedman of The World According to Ben Stein and Rob Kendall of WIBC 93.1 FM in Indiana called: The Right Dudes. It is a play on words, as this will not be a political podcast, but one covering all the things we all wonder about and, shall I say, worry about in this crazy world today. The key is we do it with humor; there is enough "red ass" today, so we will be doing it a bit differently. In this episode, Judah and I dig into the numerous topics we will be covering in The Right Dudes Podcast. We cover a lot of ground, so make sure to listen to it all the way through, as I think this will give some great insight into what we will cover in this new podcast.

And, thank you for your service. You’ve had an inside view of how the world can change and we need to be able to hold our own no matter what storm is on the horizon. Do you find that in being so independent and self-sufficient, it hinders or takes away the need for companionship? If you start out dependent but change to hold your own, is that intimidating to a dude? 2. (Sue B) What brand of coffee do you drink and is it organic? 3.

That is right, you heard it… anything, because that is how I roll! On a fairly regular basis I pick questions sent to me from my ever growing list, and answer them on this podcast. 1. (Susan F) Have you and your partners ever thought about creating a News Network based on integrity and truth? 2. (Kristy P) Any advice for planning/trying to budget in this current economic environment? For instance, gas is going up 10 cents a day, and it’s hard to know how much groceries will cost (or what groceries will be available when you go shopping). I have no consumer debt other than my mortgage–which I’m trying to pay off by the end of this year. I’m using TSL journal and am on step 2 (financial independence). 3. (Patrick P) As much freedom as we are losing here in the US, are there any countries that are freer than the US? You may have already answered this in a podcast do I don’t remember your response.

Get all The Simple Life with Gary Collins Podcast episodes with full video and commercial-free at: https://thesimplelifenow.com/register/the-simple-life-membership/ Today, I have a very special guest, and fighter for freedom Grammy nominated musician John Ondrasik. John recently wrote and recorded a video for his smash hit “Blood on My Hands,” highlighting the travesty still playing out in Afghanistan. John isn’t a political hack, or ultra-woke celebrity; he is a rational thinking human who loves his country. We dig deep into his song “Blood on My Hands,” which was originally banned on YouTube, and then from pressure from his fans and some 1st Amendment supporting politicians, it was re-instated. We also discuss how we have hope that there is still some fight left in this country, and we just need to keep fighting the good fight. We dig into what keeps him motivated, how his music career didn’t take off until much later in life, and why he has a Mathematics degree from UCLA. I promise you this is a great interview, and you will leave inspired and motivated by John. Topics Discussed: * What was the motivation/inspiration for John's recent massive hit “Blood on My Hands”. * Why the song was originally banned on YouTube * How difficult was it to get permission to film the video for “Blood on My Hands” in front of the White House? * What has pushed John into being more vocal politically in recent years? * Is the music business just as woke as Hollywood today? * When did John first begin playing music, and when he decided he wanted to make it his career? * How surprised was John when his song “Superman” (It’s Not Easy) became a massive hit that took him from obscurity to superstar? * John tells a funny, but good story about my favorite band RUSH * John’s roots helping run his family’s business building shopping carts (he still helps run it even today). * Who is John’s music manager, and how they first met. * How important it is to John to play on USO tours and when he started doing them. * Why did John start his “What Kind of World Do You Want,” charity, and what do they do? * How did John become involved in THE MIRACULOUS LOVE KIDS charity, and what does it do?

Then we move on to how this is the blueprint for China to take over the West, and guess what? They are pretty far along in this process. But we just don’t give you all doom and gloom–we dig into how all this happened and what you can do about it. We all need to understand we control this ship; we just have to realize it and change our ways. Burying your head in the sand sounds good, but things are moving way too fast for you to do so. So let’s get this figured out and make a stand for freedom. The other option is to do nothing and die under the boot of tyranny, and I’m just not up for that!

Let’s be honest, who could have seen the craziness of the last two years unfolding the way it has. With that, we may be suffering from, or on the road to burnout and not even know it. That is where Dr. Sharon Grossman and her book The 7E Solution to Burnout comes in. We dig deep into the seven things to analyze and incorporate, to not only deal with burnout, but to stop it before it even happens.

I am a bit of an introvert to begin with. I don't need an excuse to not go somewhere. But, I am a bit sick of just hanging out at home. Can you give me some tips on getting back out there and reengaging in the real world? I have hobbies that I used to do with other people, (knitting, ukulele, painting). Since we can't get together (I live in California), I have lost a bit of my motivation and have stopped doing them. I joined a gym in December, then Omicron hit, and I stopped going. I really don't want to get sick. 2. (Patrick D) I have been following you and trying to eat primal since your first episode with Jack on tsp. I can go stretches of time eating that way then I fall off. As an example last February I started again. Dropped 35 pounds. Did very well until November, then I put it all back on. How do I keep it going and stay with it? 3. (David M) What are your thoughts on paying for children’s college education? Specifically in Engineering at an Engineering specific school. 4. (Robert M) What are your dog(s) names?

He has released three rap/hip hop recordings: Solutionary Vol. 1 (2005), Solutionary Vol. 2 (2014), and Solutionary Vol. 3 (2016). Toure was a candidate for an at-large seat in the Philadelphia City Council in the city's 2019 election. He ran as a Libertarian. In addition to his support for Second Amendment rights, his stated political priorities included: criminal justice reform; ending the practice of solitary confinement; legalization of cannabis; improved education in Philadelphia; and conflict resolution training for disconnected youths. On November 5, 2019, Toure finished 15th in a field of 17 candidates in the city's election, failing to secure a seat on the City Council. He received 5,676 votes (0.46% of the vote total). Toure spoke at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in February 2019. In a dialogue with Lawrence B. Jones in 2021, Toure applauded grassroots anti-racist protestors for emphasizing that black lives do in fact matter, while denouncing Black Lives Matter, Inc. as a "money laundering operation" that "fleeces the black community," with the goal of aiding Democratic politicians.
