The Simple Life with Gary Collins Podcast

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 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?

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.

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.

Rob dissects why he believes today there is no difference between the Black hats (Democrats) and White Hats (Republicans). Miriam Weaver and Rob Kendall, or Mock ‘N Rob, are heard live in central Indiana Monday through Friday from 9 am to noon.

No topic is taboo and no public figure gets a pass! Topics Discussed: * A bit about Rob and his super-popular radio show Mock N’ Rob * Rob’s perspective of our political strife today as a former politician * How Rob came to his philosophy of Black and White Hats representing Republicans and Democrats * When he believes the line between the differences of Democrats and Republicans became blurred * He explains how both sides spend like drunken sailors, but continue to blame the other side * Why picking sides is futile and why we need true Independents to solve the problem * We go way off topic at the end, but you need to listen to find out what we discussed Episode Resources: * Mock N’ Rob Show: https://www.wibc.com/show/mock-n-rob/ * Other Appearance by Rob on Podcast: https://www.thesimplelifenow.com/robert-kendall-critical-race-theory-101/ * The World According to Ben Stein Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-world-according-to-ben-stein/id1540015480 * 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/

Usually, I don't give these the time of day, but this one hit a nerve, because of the false information it contained. Instead of providing an honest review of what they didn't like about the episode, this individual distorts the topics and what I talked about to fit their negative thinking. I will dissect this review to show why I believe people like this are destroying this country and have no place in The Simple Life community. See Negative iTunes Review Below: Fudo 77 “Episode 119 is a tire fire, and resembles an audio version of a FB rant filmed by a goateed guy in his car. It’s a great subject to cover (smartphone addiction), but this guy serves from the price of his toilet to NBA/BLM to Hispanic people on smartphones to women in the gym. He so wants to say women are worse, but can’t find the stats to.” To leave “nice” reviews go to my iTunes podcast page here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-simple-life-with-gary-collins/id1479302777 Topics Discussed: * Why people (losers in life) feel the need to leave negative reviews * I dissect what this individual is really in this review, and a lot about themselves * Why I have an easy way to send emails to me to say what you really feel about me or what I do * Why I will never shy away from the topics that need to be discussed * Cowards leave personally attacking negative reviews don’t be one of them * Why we have become a country of victims and if you don’t agree with them you are a racist, sexist, homophobe * Why it is important for us “simple life” folk to start our own businesses and run for public office Episode Resources: * Special Coupon for Purchasing The Simple Life Journal Products: tsljournal10 * 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/
