(00:01):
Guys, welcome to the First Responder Playbook. I'm excited to have
Dr. Grant Crueley with me tonight, or as he likes to call
Dr. G. Dr. G, tell my audience
a little bit about yourself.
Well, first and foremost,
I'm a Marshall specialist and I,

(00:25):
I trained over about 46 years all together
and I'm at one point in time until at least
the year 2000 anyway, I would have been in about
the top 1% of martial specialists
for my type of martial craft.
What kind of martial arts did you do? Well, I, I

(00:48):
was one of the
elite people for Yoshin Kaikido and
I train about 50000 hours there and then I have,
I carry Genbu Sotojits on my shoulders, which is
my teacher Kushida Sensei's family sword

(01:08):
method. His father was decorated by the Emperor of Japan
for participating in the war in
Manchuria. And then I
studied now at least 26 years under Yagyu Nobuharu Taira
Toshmichi and Yagyu koichi Tara Toshinobu,
21st and 22nd Grand Master of the

(01:30):
Oari Yagyushinkageru. So that's a
professional sword. And that's the only type of
martial craft that I still continue. I left Aikido in the year
2000 and then I did
four years of studying for
lethal engagement of mass as far as warfare

(01:53):
goes, or hand to hand combat under Michael
Robert Pick who served 1st Marines in Vietnam. And
he's a. Mr. Pick is a
specialist. He's an older man now, but he was always
basically not for the public. He's engaged for like black
ops, the military would call him. And he served three tours

(02:16):
of duty in Nam and he was a Marine sniper.
So he was a real. I always was privileged to study
under great men, all of
them masters in their craft. And then I did tactical firearms
in my back in my 40s. I began

(02:37):
trying to become a real professional at tactical
firearms and I began with
Front Sight under Chuck Taylor, Gabe Suarez and Mark
Fleischman. And I continued for quite a few years
to know Gabe and Mark, who I respect tremendously.
And there's a number of other guys that I had a chance to

(02:59):
study under. But I want you to understand now, as far as
Marshall capacity goes, I
was never in a firefight.
I'm, I'm street tested. I always put myself in
harm's way in Detroit and
in the bar scene and all that kind of stuff. So

(03:21):
I'm, I'm not a dojo person. I call a dojo
person as someone who just looks good in the dojo,
but they can't go out into the world. I'm not like that.
I always pride myself on being the real deal. You
find it in the real world? Yes. Otherwise
I would consider myself fake. And then

(03:47):
later on, I moved on to becoming
a professional healer. I'm a distance healer
now. I became a licensed doctor in Georgia and Tennessee and
then I learned how to be a
distance healer. So I'm a specialist of quantum physics
and consciousness and I help people all over the world

(04:10):
from my. I live in Thailand now. I moved to Thailand
2015 and I. You can be on Mars.
It doesn't make any difference to me. I, I will take care of you from
wherever you are. Using quantum
physics. So once upon a time, my whole life
was to be a

(04:32):
professional warrior class man. And I
trained, I was always proud to train
military and police personnel. And I was trained by them,
especially Marines. And
I always was very honored to, to do
that kind of thing and that they would come and study under me. And

(04:55):
the, the idea was to be a consummate
elite warrior. And
when it comes to first responders, there's nobody I
respect more because they
have to deal with
lethal, very severe

(05:17):
situations, chaotic situations, and it takes a lot
of guts and it takes a, a special kind of
person to be able to do that for real. Well, because
they're armed. Yeah, because
they're armed. My,
my part in all of that is if

(05:39):
you're armed,
you should be a
very, very, very skilled
professional because your life depends on it.
Other people's lives depend on it and you're in that
profession. And so my,

(06:04):
that's the way I was approaching all of that. And the guys that would come
to see me from SWAT or from the
different branches of military, they had that
longing to be a very refined,
honed warrior class
person. And that's what they would come to see me for.

(06:27):
That's awesome. How did you make the
initial connection and get in that world of training with like military and
police? Well,
you know, I, when I was a kid,
the way I psychologically, when I failed grade

(06:47):
one, my dad was a boxer in World War II and
he's a naval officer and he was a proud
man. And then when they failed me, he didn't know how to handle that.
And that's back in Windsor, Ontario where I was born.
So emotionally speaking, the family abandoned
me at the age of six. And

(07:11):
when I used to watch television because I was always looking for
someone to replace dad, I wanted to be, I
always had the longing always to how to
be a man, right. And I
always noticed the, the guys that were the, the heroes were the
toughest and the strongest. So I became a

(07:33):
fighter and I was a
fairly viable fighter. And then I
started training professionally by the age of 18.
I started training at 13, but I was a professional by the age of
18. And then of course, a lot

(07:53):
of the guys that I would meet would be in the, in the
police forces. And I always gravitated to,
I've always gravitated to the older, older
folks and Vietnam vets. I met lots and lots of
them. And I started to work
for a number of police officers that had their own private business,

(08:16):
entrepreneurial business in Detroit.
And that's where I started to get my first
mentorship, but from people like professional police
officers that were really what I consider to be
very high class, elite men. And then when I
moved to California in 1994,

(08:39):
pardon me, 1991, and I established my dojo in
Silicon Valley there. My
dojo was just down the road from Moffett Field and
NASA was there and there was military all
over the place. And they just automatically found me and
I always found them. And I had

(09:01):
the honor of some of my students, like Marco was
Force Recon Vietnam, one of the greatest men I ever
met in my life and
brings back a lot of good memories. And we train very, very
hard, very elite professional training

(09:22):
four to five hours a day, seven days a week. And not
children's play. I have nothing to do with commercial martial
art or anything like that. And I always
train everybody myself and I train with them. And then
I would learn from those great men because they were
in battle or they were on that like the Palo Alto

(09:45):
SWAT team. Number of those guys were my, my students for
years, five, six, seven years. And
my job was to make them the greatest they could
possibly be. As sharp as a, as a
razor. And that's, and that's what

(10:05):
I did. That's awesome.
Can you kind of, you've kind of touched on it. Can you talk about the
importance of like training
of like martial arts in law enforcement? Because you see a lot
today a lot of guys are training jiu jitsu,
but any sort of self defense tactics like that.

(10:28):
Can you touch on just like how important that is in the first responder
world? As far as I'm
concerned, it's, it's top of the line.
Why? Because you carry
a firearm. You have
whichever one you're carrying. I was always trained with a Glock

(10:52):
and you might have to have a Tactical shotgun with
you and you're facing people that'll kill you.
So the first and foremost thing you have
to be able to do is handle
that, that gun with surgical precision.

(11:13):
It takes 1.4 seconds for the human brain because the
frontal cortex is so slow, it only processes
40 bits of information a second. So it takes
1.4 seconds to respond to an
attack. And a guy can
close the distance of 21ft in 1.4 seconds. So

(11:37):
if he has a knife and you have a Glock
for you to bring that into battery and take
aim and give him two shots, center of mass, you
need a minimum of 1.4 seconds. But he can run
21ft. And most
situations are going to happen real close quarter.

(11:58):
So the idea of
response and self defense is a bunch of
nonsense. Whoever is the
attacker, the offensive person, if he makes the move, it
only takes 0.1% of a second to drive your,

(12:19):
for him to drive his finger through your eye. If you're
in range, you're never going to get. So you need,
you need to be a very sharp
warrior class person who, who
can very consistently

(12:40):
handle that gun really, really well. If you choose to
hold a knife, you better know how to use it.
Knife fighting, of course, is a bunch of nonsense as far as
fighting someone. You have a knife and he hasn't, that's a
10 miles of bad road because the, the
knife is so short. So the distance you're, you're

(13:03):
fighting someone very close to you
and you cannot control
any tiny angle, any twisting. That's why a knife is
considered one of the most dangerous, lethal weapons there
is because it's so versatile. So all of those
kinds of things you should know and train yourself. And then

(13:26):
you, of course, you've got to be in good shape and you have to have
that kind of mental attitude.
Whether I get hit or cut, I keep going, no matter what.
You got to drill it into your consciousness.
And then there is all of the other

(13:47):
knowledges that the officer or responder needs.
All of the laws, paperwork,
the ins and outs of all those things. But if you're dead and gone
or they, you know, they kill you or you're maimed, and
the paperwork doesn't mean anything. And

(14:08):
if you, if you get yourself into a situation, let's say for
whatever reason you don't have backup and there's two, three guys,
what are you going to do? So you have to, you have to not
only. It's not realistic to think you can just
fight and beat off a whole bunch of people like the
movies, but you can control them mentally.

(14:32):
And that when I used to deal with motorcycle gang guys, I was a
bouncer in Detroit for years in the striptease
circuit to test myself. When you get these
guys in front of you and they're way the hell bigger and stronger than
I am, and I'm not, you know, Bruce Lee is in the movies.
So what I got, what you have to have,

(14:54):
is a mindset of how to
control, dominate, or lead
those people. And it, you got to be,
no matter how scared you might be inside, you got to look
like Clint Eastwood on the outside. And all this stuff takes

(15:14):
practice. So as Jim Rowan would say, in terms of
business, you groom yourself
in private to have success in the
public. So you just like the Marines or
anybody, the only thing you can do
that you can control is how well you're trained

(15:37):
and how well you're prepared. And
I, you know, like I said, I never, I always regretted,
you know, I'm an older man now, but those days are gone. But I,
I always regretted the fact I was never in a firefight.
I was in all kinds of other situation, but I, I don't
know how I would do. And I always wondered,

(16:00):
you know, but
I trained myself, I always train to
be as elite as possible so
that, you know, when you're in lethal engagement of math, when
you're in a lethal engagement, your skill level and

(16:20):
fine motor control will drop a minimum of
50%. 50%.
Wow. Now, if you're poorly trained,
you won't hit the broad side of a bar. If the
stress level, because the stress and the fear
drives the cortisol, the amygdala lights up, cortisol drops

(16:41):
into your system. All of the adrenaline goes to the large
muscles and the fine trigger control,
sight picture, sight alignment, trigger control that you need to be able
to hit that target, especially if he's moving
or if there's more than one.
You have to be highly trained. So

(17:04):
that was always my and still is.
That's my number one advice. If you're going to
carry a firearm, be as good with that thing as,
as you possibly can. And you know, it doesn't take,
you can do like Gabe Suarez would say. You take dry fire
practice, 15 minutes a day, dry fire,

(17:28):
and then say once a week, go down and validate your,
your firearm skill with some live fire
and just keep yourself
sharp. Have to be sharp, have
to be strong and have endurance. And
let's say you're in a chase and if the, if the other

(17:51):
guy is in real great Shape and you're not.
What, what are you going to do? Yeah.
Yep. So although all those
things go in, go into play, and I'll
never forget when I saw the
extreme expertise of Mark Fleishman, Gabe Suarez

(18:15):
looked like a machine is beautiful.
So I, I use that example. And then you meet these
guys, you know, like, like Marco
was in Vietnam, he was Force Recon.
Or you meet Mr. Pick and when they're talking,

(18:36):
they're talking from their guts, from their, from
experience. And I, I always gravitated to those
kind of men and I try to absorb that into myself
so that like Mr. Pick says, iron sharpens. Iron man
sharpens man. We inspire each other.

(18:56):
You know, we inspire each other and I'm a huge
believer in that. I love that
because you got to train your mind, body and spirit, you
know, you really, you really do. Let me ask
you something. Do you think, you know, I see that, you know, you got your
doctorate and you did chiropractic work. Do you think

(19:18):
your martial arts background helped you to prepare to finish that
and get it done? Yeah, of course.
It's all, it's all the same mindset. When I was a martial
artist, I wasn't the person where
I'm trying to do it for me.
So the fundamental thing about, for me

(19:42):
is service, service and purpose.
So I, I was a person who served the craft
to pass it on to the next generation. And then
I served my, my teacher, I
served my students, I served the society.

(20:03):
So then a doctor. What's a doctor? Same
thing. Service. Everything I do and
everything I believe in is
purpose and service driven.
So it transferred that way. And then of course
I, you know, I'm like, I, I won't give up.

(20:25):
Nothing's gonna stop me. There's nothing wrong with that.
Yeah, I, once I set my mind, you know, I had my back broke right
in half And I was 27, weight training and that,
that slowed me down for three years. But I came back. I'm, I'm
crippled now. I, I had a huge car crash 16
months ago, and I'm just now able to walk

(20:48):
for the first time in an entire year. I've been in.
I'm all alone here. My wife works in Norway
to support her family, so we have
to sort of remake my spine chiropractically. I'm not, I'm not ever going to
have no operation. I never did have an operation,
so my nerves got

(21:11):
enormously inflamed and. But nothing
going to stop me. The thing that makes me get up
and move people Count on me all over
the world. So as long as people need me,
nothing's going to stop me unless I'm dead. Same thing
with all of the first responder. I mean, if people had

(21:34):
any concept of what the first responders. Faith.
I, I love firemen. You know, I, I think firemen
are the most astounding people in the,
in the world. You know, you look at a fire and they're walking into that
thing. Yep. And one of my. One of my good
friends was a fireman,

(21:57):
and he said, you know,
we run in where everyone else is running out.
That takes a special kind of man. I
really admire that. Without the first responders,
and it be hell on earth. Yeah, we. We always make

(22:18):
a joke. You know, firemen and police officers kind of joke with
each other and give each other a hard time. But the way I look at
it is I only, I can make fun of them like they may,
they may be the people that we joke around with, but only I can do
that, you know, because at the end of the day, we're going to have each
other's backs. Yeah.
Yeah. I want to talk

(22:41):
about, Tell me about the best technique
and, you know, your work you're doing
now and how, how do you think that could help first
responders moving forward? Oh, I, you know, I'm
waiting for that chance. I. I do morphic field
physics, so what

(23:03):
that means is I can take an entire.
How many people in a, In a. How many people
are in a SWAT team when. When they're going to go take out,
take on a task? How many of them are there?
I'd say usually around 5, 6, 7, somewhere in there.

(23:24):
Okay. So it's just a small group. I can do
morphic field physics in the thousands. So you take.
What you do is the chief of police or the chief just
tells me, I want to see a picture of each of the
officer's face and their name. And
then I put all those guys

(23:47):
as a collective, and that collective has
an emergent property, which is the sum total
of the consciousness of all of them together as a team.
So you think of that team as one entity. If they're
operating with total coherence, that's how they
operate. Right now what I can do is I'll go into

(24:10):
the team and I'll check for any
kind of interference between each other
and whatever their task is.
Or let's say the chief wants to see them
better in this area, that area, that area. I can go
through that. That group in real time,

(24:33):
because everything I do is in real time. And I will remove
the weakness or the negative or the fear or the doubt. Whatever
it is, doesn't matter, I will remove it
and pull, pull them up. I do that with
sports, with sports teams with think
tanks. Like let's say I call it a think tank. Let's say

(24:56):
I have like a corporate
boardroom. Yep. And they want, they gotta arrive,
they need to be co. They need to all be compatible with
each other. And there's dissonance, there's, there's trouble. I can
make them all remove the interference so that they all work
together smoothly. So

(25:19):
you can see small examples of stuff like this with people like
HeartMath. The HeartMath Institute has done
work with police forces and with
hospitals. The stuff that I do is
immediately requires no effort on the part of the,
of the people. So the, the entire team, I'll hone them

(25:42):
up in a half an hour and it's done.
And they don't have to go into a meditation or do
anything. I can do it in, in real time.
So that's the difference between with applied
quantum physics through consciousness
versus like let's say you, you get the SWAT

(26:05):
team or, or the boys and you want to let them
do heart math. What is that doing? Well, within
five minutes of doing that meditation, cortisol
drops 45%. DHEA comes up
45%. And the brain in their, in their head,
the cranium entrains

(26:27):
to their heart rate variability, rhythm. So what happens when they
do heart math? They become calm,
integrated and they're in a superior state. And the
state can't. Can not necessarily, but
can sustain for four to six hours. In
my case, I will go through,

(26:49):
let's say you got a guy that's aspiring to be a top, top
level troubleshooter for the SWAT
team or for the military. But in his,
in his subconscious database
there's some negative programming from his dad
or something he picked up when he, before the age of seven

(27:13):
that says that puts doubt in his
mind. That doubt has the power of 1 million
because it's in the subconscious strata. His conscious
brain as an adult man only has a power
of 1, 1 to 1 million ratio. That's called
cognitive dissonance. I can surgically locate that

(27:35):
download that gives him doubt or a gap
and I remove it. And when I remove it, it's gone.
The other thing I do for guys that are like, are like yourself
in that branch of the world is I can remove
post traumatic stress syndrome so fast it'll make your

(27:55):
head spin. There's no need for medication or
any of that stuff. I've never once in my professional
career not succeeded in removing post traumatic
stress syndrome. Yet. It's very
easy for me because my, my approach is
utterly different from a classical approach.

(28:18):
How does that, for somebody that's not familiar with that? Because I
like, I like hearing that. How do, how do you, how do you approach
that? Like you said, you can do it remotely. Like how does that work?
Okay, so very, very simple. And all of this
is peer reviewed science. Now. It's just
the, like you and I, right now, there's no

(28:41):
disconnect wherever you are in the world and me, there's
no disconnect whatsoever,
energetically at an actual consciousness
energetic level. Now,
I use two kinds of frequencies that you can look up right on
Google. One is called a destructive interference

(29:01):
wave. The other is a constructive interference wave.
And everything has everything from
a virus to a star to a thought, to a word,
it's all frequencies. So
a destructive interference wave means when they,
when they meet each other, they cancel to zero.

(29:25):
So if I send, if I find something in your subconscious
that you don't want anymore, like say, fear of failure.
So I trace down where in you first
downloaded the very first download you ever received
that began the complex
or the neural nets for fear of failure.

(29:48):
And I will disassemble it using destructive
interference waves until I remove it completely. I'll
disintegrate it completely. Disassembly
process means I know I'm knocking out all the entanglements
relative to that first download. Then I
go up to the very next download surgically,

(30:11):
and I eliminate it, and I eliminate them all
until we reach the age of seven when your frontal,
the frontal cortex starts.
Once I do that, the fear of failure in
you as a grown man now has no foundation.
There's no software left

(30:34):
relative to the fear of failure in your
software, in your brain, in your subconscious. Nothing there.
Then I come up to you now, at your age now, and we ask the
question, is there any active program
that supports or sustains a fear of failure in me

(30:54):
now? And if we get a yes, I will
disassemble it and shut it off. Once I do
that, it's gone relative to fear of
failure. It's gone, done.
And that's a fact. And how do we know it's a fact?
From all of my clinical

(31:18):
experience, I, you know, I have like a 98 success
rate with anything as long as they, as long as they stick with me.
Some things we can do like that, other things Might
take a few months. See, I
like post traumatic. Let's, let's take the post traumatic stress syndrome
scenario. I had a young lady who came to see me.

(31:40):
She's in California and she's one of those
trekkers. Real gutsy, not necessarily
that intelligent, but real gutsy, right? And she had a boyfriend at
the time and they wanted to go, they're going to go trek
across this island.
It's a jungle island. I can't remember the name of that island.

(32:03):
And she found, she found on the maps like some kind of
a trail that led her through the mountains in this, in
this tropical rainforest. And they want to
walk her and this boyfriend clear across this island.
Okay, so that all sounds good. And she's in real good
shape and everything. But when she gets to the island

(32:27):
and she's in the town where they're going to take off from,
they're talking and, you know, so somebody's listening.
They get way out there in the jungle and
a group of guys all, all dressed up so that you
can't like war paint and masks
and that they attack them. They rape her.

(32:51):
They beat the living hell out of the kid. He was, he was done.
And she tries to scuffle. And in the
scuffle, she gets a real bad
lacerated arm. Cuts her deep.
So she's pretty smart. And she, she convinces these guys

(33:12):
they can have all of their gear and everything if they'll just let them
live. Meanwhile, she's bleeding profusely.
And these guys do it. They take off with all
their stuff and they're out in the middle of the jungle, nowhere. They
have no communication and she's bleeding profusely. So what
she does, she holds her arm up to try to

(33:35):
have gravity help her. She gathers up that
guy that was traumatized and they, they start running. They're
headed back to the only camp
civilized place that they know that she knows. And they
made it and it saved her life and they stopped
the bleeding and so forth and so on. So when she meets me, it's

(33:57):
many years later. And when I go into her
consciousness, sure enough, she has
what I call a simo. Post traumatic stress syndrome means
sympathetic emotional memory override.
What I did was within. It just took me maybe 20
minutes. I just have her go back in her memory to

(34:19):
that event. And she started crying
and I disassembled that entire event. I
disintegrated it. And the post traumatic stress syndrome
was, was done and never come back.
Cannot, cannot come back because I disintegrated. And
that all the post traumatic stress syndrome means

(34:44):
sometimes when we get really shocked,
especially if there's heavy emotion, the
mind, instead of being able to process,
locks. Now it records Those events
at 40 million bits of information a second.
So there's all this detail below, below our consciousness,

(35:07):
but it locks. It's like a movie. And anytime there's
an environmental trigger that touches off that movie, it
plays. As soon as it plays, the hypothalamus and the
thalamus dumps all of what we call the
neuropeptides that encode that experience back into
the system, and they suffer and they relive

(35:28):
it. If you shut the movie off, it's gone.
Then the brain recalibrates, comes up to the
present moment, and you're good to go.
And. And that's. That's what depth healing is able to do.
Does that make sense? Absolutely. And that.

(35:49):
That's such a. Interesting way of. Like, I've never really
thought of that, but I, I really like hearing that because,
you know, traditional therapy, cops,
first responders in general, are very hesitant on
doing that. And, and, yeah, you know, I,
I think that there's definitely some

(36:13):
market there for you to start getting this out there and like,
introducing it to that first responder world. I
just don't. I don't have the contact
right now. I, you know, and here in Thailand, of course,
this is a different world entirely, but I'd give
anything to find a contact to be able to show them, because

(36:36):
I. That what I can do for him is so fast. And
it's rock solid. It's just rock solid.
I proved that with sport too. You know, I have
three different coaches that I've shown in no uncertain terms
what depth healing can do for their teams.

(36:56):
And hockey and
volleyball, take the whole team and just change
performance right away. So
I'd love to work with first responders and, you
know, the amount of stress people have no clue, the kind
of stress that the first responders have

(37:19):
to deal with. There are so many of the
guys, you'll see them, they're seasoned, they're calm,
cool, and everything. They're. They move through that
world really well. There are a lot of guys,
they are not. They are not able to process
the stress, the fear, the what they see, what they,

(37:43):
what they experience, and it accumulates in their mind and
in their body, and it hurts them.
It make them angry, resentful,
turn them cold, close their heart,
all kinds of things. I can help all of that.
You know, I can help. I. I can help all of that. And I can

(38:05):
do it from any. In the comfort of their home. You know, they don't have
to go to a special room and sit
and meditate or invest time. I just do it for them.
That's, that's the number one difference between myself and.
It's convenient. You just tell me what my targets are and
I'll change it for you. It's that. It's that simple.

(38:28):
That's awesome. I, I will definitely
get your email after this. I will. We'll see if we can get something set
up to where we can get you some contacts, if that'd be okay with
you. Oh, are you kidding? That would be so wonderful.
And you can always tell these guys if you went, if you go to
make contact, I, I'll be very happy to you

(38:51):
to prove it. You just, you just,
we'll just set it up and I'll, I'll handle it so they can
see it firsthand and experience it firsthand. I always
do everything that way, you know, and then if they, once they see
that, I think it'll, It'll blow their mind. So I, I'll
be very proud. That would be wonderful. That's awesome. Because I love, I love those

(39:14):
guys, you know.
You know, most, most people, they just
go through their life, they enjoy what they enjoy, and
if, if nothing terrible happens, life is just
whatever it is. But for a guy that's a first responder,

(39:39):
you know, you know, a real good movie.
When I was a young buck. How old are you now? 36.
Oh, yeah, yeah. Well, when I was 36, when I, when I was
your age, the way I trained myself, if you watch
the movie the Lawman with Burt Lancaster,
that's, that's always my top

(40:03):
movie that I recommend for being professional
warrior. And then if you watch that movie to
try to understand the kind of stress.
It's a war movie, but it's a basic true story
is we were soldiers with

(40:24):
Mel Gibson. Yes. And he plays that commander and you see
his social life and then he's, you know, he leaves the
door and he goes into this world
and first responder. When, like
I'm always, I always think of guys like in Detroit or
LA or New York or any of the really big

(40:47):
cities. Holy mackerel.
You know, people don't realize.
Only the, only the responders know. Only they,
only they know. That's very true. Where, if
somebody wanted to get your book, can you tell us about your book and where
they could get your book at? Yeah, the book is just on

(41:09):
Amazon. It's a It's a nice little
60 page book that I wrote back in 2012
and it was designed basically for like the
Silicon Valley corporate life of nothing but
stress. And you could easily, you can
absolutely apply it to first responders because

(41:32):
it's all based off of Zen warrior Zen.
There was a great Zen master, Taquan, who
was a teacher to a Zen teacher to
Yagyu Tajima no Kami, who is one of Japan's
greatest swordsmen. And so
this, the, my book is based off of those

(41:54):
teachings and basically what it is,
it's a, it's a, a series of little ways to
tie into your body, your body
so that in just regular activities
of daily life, no, no necessity for some special

(42:16):
circumstances or a special place or a quiet
place. And it's a way of punching a hole
in the agenda, which is agendas, remember our future
based. And you have to be.
When you're, when you're a first responder, you, you've got
to be always in condition yellow

(42:40):
so you're awake and aware. Because if you go in, if you're in
a dangerous area and you're in condition white,
you can be dead and gone instantly. At any
moment you've got to be in yellow. So you can go to orange
and red. And then of course you don't want to
go from white to black and you're, you freeze

(43:02):
and then you're dead and gone. So you have to be in
the present. My book is called. Want more?
Sort of a strange name. I made the name because it was for
Silicon Valley people. But the, the idea is
how do you stay present
in the moment where you are so

(43:24):
you're awake and aware and you're sharp and you're on
because you have, when you're a responder like that, you have to
be, you got to be there. And
human mind of course is weak. It
wanders all over the place. It's so easy to be

(43:45):
used. The light, like you say, the lights are on, but the guy's
vacant for a moment. And I, I always think
if I was a first responder now, and I was
at your age, the thing I always trained for, that I
taught, always consider yourself in

(44:05):
the. No matter how nice the neighborhood is,
that you're in a very, very
unpredictable arena so that you,
you keep your edge. I was watching one of your nice
podcasts with that one officer that was a marine and then he was

(44:25):
Army. Yes. And then he was. I, I like that
guy a lot. And you could see
how, how sharp he really is. You know, Todd's real
calm. Yes. But he's, you know, he's as sharp as
a razor and he's ready and he's on
and he's elite. And. And I. I always

(44:47):
recommend just, just for no other reason,
if you're carrying that Glock or you're carrying a
firearm or you got a badge and you got to walk in harm's way,
gotta be absolutely on. Then you can
relax when you go home. You can

(45:09):
relax when in your home. But when
you're a warrior. Warrior is a warrior.
You gotta. Gotta be sharp like that. That's. That's my opinion.
Absolutely. I'm with you on that 100%.
Well, Dr. G, I don't want to tie you up all day because I know
it's your morning time over there. Well, I'm enjoying this.

(45:31):
You. You can talk to me for a month. I don't care. Well, thank you
so much for joining me tonight. And I'm going
to. I'm going to link some of your stuff in my show notes when it
goes live and then. And you are always
welcome back on here again. Okay? If you know
anybody that would like it in the forces, any. Any

(45:53):
branch, and they will. They want to see what I can do for them,
please hook me up because I'll take care of. Be my
honor. Absolutely. Well, Dr. G, it was my pleasure to
have you tonight and I will let you enjoy your day. Have a great day,
sir. Okay. Thank you. You too. Take care of yourself. You
too. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye.
