Return To The Miracle On The Hudson with Dave Sanderson
Dave Sanderson was the last man off of US Airways Flight 1549 when it landed in the Hudson River in NYC in 2009. He dove into he icy cold water that day and almost died as his body succumbed to hypothermia...only to be scooped out of the river by 2 of NYC Firefighters.
Now, 15 years later, Dave shares with Awakened Nation his return to swimming the same spot in the Hudson River with a group of Navy Seals, and the memories it stirred up.
Dave explains something that no one could have warned him about and that was Post Traumatic Growth Syndrome... something Dave talks about in his TEDTalk... instead of getting depressed and withdrawn, he had the opposite happened.
This is a powerful episode as Dave returns to Awakened Nation.

You may think you are not susceptible to mind control, you'd be wrong. Jason specializes in exposing the manipulative psychology, behavior modification, brainwashing, mental conditioning, and mind control that have been weaponized against the public by media and government WORLDWIDE!!!
This is a scary and eye-opening episode...and you just might give up coffee once you know what it does to the human brain.

What Happened to Today's Men? The Search For True Freedom with Bodhi Alridge
How can men find their way in a world that rejects traditional male role models as "toxic?"
Leadership Development Coach and host of the True Freedom podcast, Bodhi Aldridge joins me on Awakened Nation to help men of all ages get in touch with true masculinity.
Author of Visionary Male Leaders, Bodhi has dedicated his life to deeper meaning, helping CEOs, men in their 40, 50s and 60s, get unstuck, to live far more meaningful lives.
"Men want to fee freedom, while women want to feel connection...it's why men root for their favorite football team, or look for that one man to look up to."
A Visionary Male Leader himself, Bodhi brings us a much needed
conversation to Awakened Nation. We talk about the difference between
Andrew Tate versus Jordan Peterson, modern masculinity and traditional
archetypes.
www.freedomminicourse.com
About Bodhi Aldridge:
Bodhi Aldridge is passionate about guiding male business owners and leaders around the globe to become more present, magnetic and self-aware leaders, husbands and fathers.
His journey as a father, a grandfather, a lawyer, a coach and
facilitator has taken him across the world diving deep into traditional teachings and contemporary leadership development.
"What I know is… all men long for freedom. The problem is, none of us really understand what true freedom means. We think it’s something external - more money, more time or an endless summer…"
But true freedom comes from within.
Having worked with thousands of male business leaders and owners around the world for over 20 years, there are three main problems they want a solution to (even if they don’t know it yet):
1. Their Distracted Mind
2. Their Resistance to Life
3. Their Sense of Overwhelm
"The men I work with are basically me, 25 years ago. I had a loving marriage, 4 great kids, a thriving legal practice and a beautiful home. But in my efforts to build my business and family, I had lost touch with myself."
At 60, Bodhi has found a path to true freedom within. His obsession is to share this knowledge with as many men as possible and guide them to create a life of Freedom, Flow, Abundance, Impact and Joy... whilst more skillfully navigating the ups and downs of professional and personal life.
Bodhi spends time with his wife of 40 years and they live by the beach near Byron Bay, Australia; with 4 children and 10
grandchildren who keep them tapping into the pure joy and innocence that life can offer... traveling around the globe and his daily practices of surfing, yoga and music.

Dr. Jeremy Ayres, joins me on Awakened Nation to share his journey of becoming an osteopath after being cured of severe back pain, building his own practice, and exposing the global Medical Industrialized Complex during the lock downs of 2020-2022.
"I realized this is what I want to do for the rest of my life."
Jeremy shares how emotional trauma can be stuck in us for decades only to surface when we are much older because he body is telling us loud and clear what it needs.
This is Part 3 of 3 in the Red Pill revolution Series.
ABOUT JEREMY AYRES:
Co-Author of The Red Pill Revolution and a lifelong pursuer of truth in all aspects of the human experience, there are few conspiratory rabbit holes that Jeremy hasn't explored. This well-rounded perspective has provide him a rare and unique take on life and how we live it.
Jeremy sees clearly, the deception and manipulation found everywhere in modern life. Especially in the Medical Industrial Complex and their partners in the Pharmaceutical & Food industries.
A trained Health Practitioner in the UK, Jeremy has helped thousands of people heal naturally from a variety of serious diagnoses, including his own wife Natalie who was terminally ill with cancer when they first met.
No subject is off-limits.
BACKGROUND:
International Natural Health Educator Jeremy Ayres was awarded Senior Practitioner of Physical Medicine (SBRCP) for his outstanding work. Originally trained as an Osteopath (DO).
Jeremy later coined the new title NaturoPractic Consultant (NC), after realizing that his successful healing protocols combined the best of Chiropractic, Osteopathy & Naturopathy.
His life goal has been to bring forward the knowledge and wisdom of our elders, particularly the Eastern practices and traditional ways with Western scientific proof and collaborations, and return to a cohesive philosophy of healing for a very sick world.
He began training at The British School of Osteopathy in 1990, before moving to the Northern Counties School of Osteopathy, where he trained under Harry Hawes, the nationally esteemed osteopath. Harry was a healing genius who understood the classical philosophies and techniques.
After graduating in 1994, Jeremy studied naturopathy at The College of Natural Nutrition in Devon, under the genius, Barbara Wren. He moved to be mentored by Barbara, learning and gaining valuable insight into taking case histories and seeing dis-ease in all its manifestations and at all levels. He lectured in anatomy and physiology at The College of Natural Nutrition for two years.
Jeremy’s abilities and proven methods were eventually recognized and in 2013 he was given the title of Senior Practitioner of Physical Medicine by The British Register of Complimentary Practitioners (BRCPS ), now the International Register.
His knowledge allowed him to help heal his wife, Natalie, who was terminally ill when they met in 2013, and who had endured all the horrific rigors that modern oncology can offer.

The Red Pill Revolution: Part 2: Exposing the Medical Industrial Complex with NHS Pharmacist Graham Atkinson
An NHS Pharmacist in the UK (England), Graham Atkinson was tasked with the unwelcome responsibility of establishing and running a NHS COVID Vaccination Center that served his local population in 2020.
He watched as thousands walked through his door believing that they were receiving their ticket to freedom...when there was nothing further from the truth.
"I wasn't allowed to say anything to warn them of the possible side effects."
No longer capable of withholding information, Graham walked away. His story is one of extreme bravery and conviction for what is right and truthful.
This second part interview from the creators of The Red Pill Revolution is no conspiracy, Graham is a front line health care worker for the NHS (National Health Services), with a high-ranking position and the education to be a credible witness to this global ruse.
This episode covers the culture of lies over the past 4 years, along with the profits and deceit that is driving our medical system leadership to a breaking point.
About Graham Atkinson:
In early 2020 Graham Atkinson was managing a large NHS General Practice in Northern England when the COVID pandemic halted everything and everyone in their tracks.
It was from that capacity and perspective that he soon realized the deception and lies coming from our national leaders.
Graham Atkinson hates liars.
With over 30 years NHS experience behind him, he knew how the whole NHS system worked. He knew how the pharmaceutical industry worked. He could source and understand complex clinical research papers and understood hospital activity data.
Having served as a Clinical Pharmacist and a Board-Level Director in local, regional and national roles, he had the confidence to challenge the mainstream narrative with the actual facts. And it was not difficult to blow large holes in the mainstream corporate virus and vaccine narratives. It was very obvious to any neutral observer that the vast majority of patients were being disadvantaged and many harmed by the rationing of core NHS services in the pursuit of “zero COVID.”
Individually, Graham could easily find colleagues that would share their concerns and agree with his conclusions. But in groups, their views remained unspoken. In his profession, he was becoming an isolated voice and was asked to keep his views to himself. His health began to suffer.
Then came the very unwelcome responsibility of establishing and running a NHS COVID Vaccination Center that served his local population. He watched as thousands walked through the door believing that they were receiving their ticket to freedom.
It was that experience that pushed Graham to the point where he was no longer willing to participate in what was being done in his name. He had tried his best to change things from the inside.
So he stopped participating and walked away.
“I know that some patients will have suffered and some will have been harmed due to the actions of the NHS in 2020 and 2021. I wish to apologize to the people of my community for any suffering and harm that has happened in my name.”
Graham’s passion and focus now is to help to build the future healthcare system that we all deserve. A system built on truth. One that allows all disciplines, knowledge and individuals that can deliver real and true healing to the communities they serve.
“I am delighted and humbled to be joining The Red Pill Revolution team in this quest at this critical time for all of us.”
Graham’s goal now is to be a magnet and inspiration for other professionals to contact and share their experiences and clear their consciences. These “Statements of Conscience” will published en masse on this very website, thus creating a worldwide collective that may very well serve to become future legal affidavits.
We will build back better. But we will build back better… without “them.”

The Red Pill Revolution: Exposing The Medical Industrial Complex, with John Gusty
When his wife came down with MS, John Gusty set out on a quest to learn the truth about health...a journey that awakened him to the distortion and lies that are pushed to assure that patients become indentured servants to the medical industry here in America.
What became even more apparent is this is a global issue.
"The first thing we did was eliminate sugars in our diet...especially invisible sugars." John goes onto explain the clues that lead him to the truth, and an even scarier conclusion.
John Gusty is the co-author of The Red Pill Revolution, and worked with doctors, pharmacists and other medical experts around the world to expose the medical fraud that has taken place over the past 3 years.
About John Gusty:
Growing up, John Gusty saw the rest of his life as a rock star, playing out on stage with a guitar wrapped around his neck and an audience beckoning him to fame.
After 30 years of working in the music industry and seeing his peers rise to the top of big name acts like R.E.M, Nine Inch Nails, Gin Blossoms and U2, John realized his true calling lay behind the curtains.
John’s attention turned to alternative health when his wife’s diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis came with zero answers. Using his behind-the-scenes experience in media, he now works to address the most pervasive lies plaguing the health industry and modern media.
Today we are going to talk about the culture of lies, profit and deceit that is driving our medical system leadership to a breaking point.
Between the feelings of uneasiness we have scrolling through the news and the unbearable confusion we face when making important everyday decisions like what to eat or how to treat sickness, it is clear something is very wrong. John’s solution is to make the modern individual sovereign and capable of pursuing rational decisions within a chaotic world where people have unknowingly never been exposed to real food, water, and a truly natural environment.

This is an Heroic Conversation from one of our top truth seekers in the world.
Today she continues to get the truth out through The Jerusalem Report and her new podcast, The Common Denominator.
About Ilana Rachel Daniels:
With a background in Anthropological study, Ilana Rachel Daniel has long asked the question, "What are the common denominators that can define us all?" Her approach has been to view the world in its widest possible lens.
Twenty years of research and practice in the arena of natural health and medicine gave Ilana the language to defend informed consent and bodily autonomy against Big Pharma.
The combination of the two allowed Ilana to see the larger picture of what was at stake when the global Pandemic of 2020 was declared, and our fundamental human rights and civil liberties began to be threatened at an accelerated pace.
Ilana became a key voice out of Israel, challenging the dominant narrative pushed by governments, pharma, and the media who,operation mockingbird style, supported the unprecedented usurping of our freedoms.
Ilana stood as a member of Parliament in the 2021 Israel elections for the human rights"Rappeh" party, and writes, produces, and hosts the "The Jerusalem Report" which has aired for over two years on Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.'s Children's Health Defense.
Ilana's initiative, "The Common Denominator", sets out now to explore the discussion in a broader format.

Can Leadership Get Better? an interview with Dov Baron
Dov Baron is back, and what a powerful show. Dov shares the story of how he helped a former Neo Nazi give up his ways, and even start a foundation to end hate. How did he do it? They bonded over Monty Python.
Dov breaks down how humans are Tribal, and what each tribe's emotional Source Code is, and how to transform it.
This is a fascinating discussion between 2 friends on getting authentic, and what it really takes to change.
About Dov Baron:
Dov Baron is the founder and CEO of Dov Baron International and the preeminent expert in helping leaders create life+work meaning. His models and strategies of the Emotional Source Code and the Anatomy of Meaning are used by leaders in business and government worldwide.
He is the creator and host of two popular podcasts, “Leadership & Loyalty," which has been named the #1 podcast for Fortune 500 Executives by Apple podcasts, and "Curiosity Bites,” which has featured hundreds of hours of interviews with top leaders, scientists, theologians, military intelligence officers, and artists.
He has written for or been interviewed by many media outlets, including CEO World, CNN, Elle Italia, Entrepreneur, and FOX.
Dov is also a bestselling author of several books, including "One Red Thread: How to Find the Purpose Already Woven Into Your Life,” and "Fiercely Loyal: How High Performing Companies Develop and Retain Top Talent.”
As a speaker, Dov has presented to the United Nations, the Department of State, the World Management Forum, the Servant Leadership Institute, The World Management Forum in Iran, and the United States Air Force. Dov is also the co-founder of The Authentic Speaker Academy for Leadership — where he teaches leaders how to use ethical persuasion skills to impact and influence change makers.
Then, while free climbing a mountain in British Columbia in 1990, he fell from the rock face at approximately 120 feet high (equivalent to falling from an 11-story skyscraper) and broke dozens of bones, including every bone in his face. After 10 reconstructive surgeries (and two instances when he was brought back from the dead), Dov restarted his life . . .
We invite you to get curious and get to know your own and your organization's Emotional Source Code because when you “Control The Meaning of the Tribe, You Control the Movement of That Tribe.” Because Unified Actualized Meaning is The Single Monolithic Difference Between Mediocrity and Greatness for all Individuals and Companies!

Beyond Joseph Campbell and The Hero's Journey with Peter Merrick
In his 20s, Peter J. Merrick was just like any other young person to start their career: brash, cocky, and full of himself.
It didn't take long for him to become disillusioned.
One book changed his life: Siddhartha by Herman Hesse. Within the pages he discovered that all men live through phases in life...from proving yourself, to giving back, Peter learned what each of us must do at each stage in our lives.
Peter has been on a mission to share with the next generation of men the simple, timeless truths that have made great leaders throughout every society...also Brad and Peter talk about the late great Tom "Too Tall" Cunningham.
Ask yourself: How can you help mentor the next generation of leaders?
