155: Roger Dale Walsh in the Hot Seat: Finding Hope Beyond Schizophrenia
Sep 22, 202625 min
What if recovery is possible—even after decades of struggle? In this powerful episode of Tell Me Why You’re Special , Branden sits down with Roger Dale Walsh, creator of the Live Love Method , to discuss his lifelong journey living with schizophrenia, surviving psychosis, multiple hospitalizations, and ultimately dedicating his life to helping families understand serious mental illness. Roger shares his personal story, explains concepts like anosognosia , discusses why communication and compassion matter for caregivers, and introduces the Live Love Method—a framework designed to help families better support loved ones living with schizophrenia. This conversation explores resilience, identity, recovery, hope, and the power of turning personal pain into a mission that serves others. Whether you’re personally affected by schizophrenia or simply want a deeper understanding of the human experience, this episode offers insight, empathy, and a reminder that every story has the potential to help someone else. ⸻ Dale Walsh is a coach for the families of those diagnosed with schizophrenia. He is the creator of the LIVELOVE method to help his clients. He is guided by the mantra “Recovery is Always an Option.” Following a thirteen-week hospitalization after being “extracted” from Dartmouth College in 1975, he was in a private psychiatric program where he was hospitalized nine times over five years. He then moved into his own unsupervised apartment and returned to college at Fairleigh Dickinson University, from where he graduated magna cum laude in English Literature. Diagnosed 50 years ago, Dale has been psychosis-free for the past 34. His mental health journey has evolved from total psychosis to a miraculous recovery. He has lived independently for forty years. Dale is looking for hosts who are truly interested in learning and discussing mental illness and the many issues, both personal and social, it entails.

150: Christopher Thompson in the Hot Seat: Prepared, Not Paranoid
Sep 15, 202639 min
What if everything Hollywood taught you about self-defense is wrong? Christopher Thompson has spent decades teaching martial arts, firearms, and real-world personal protection, but one tragic event completely changed the way he viewed violence. After losing one of his students in a knife attack, Christopher realized that most self-defense training doesn’t prepare people for what actually happens in real life. In this episode we dive into the psychology of violence, why awareness beats fighting, the myths surrounding firearms, trauma-informed self-defense, protecting your family, situational awareness, and practical strategies anyone can use to stay safer. If you’ve ever thought self-defense was only for fighters, this conversation will change your mind. Salutatuons! I'm instructor Thompson, a firearms instructor, range safety officer, certified firearms specialists ( allows me to testify in court on firearms and ammunition) and a martial arts instructor. I have twenty seven years in as a teacher, and a practitioner of 31 in Ed Parkers Kenpo. To keep it brief in 2014 a student of mine was brutally, murdered with a knife. He wasn't just a student. He was a family friend and ever since and for more than a decade, I have been creating a resume that no one else had. As a student first I started cross training in everything I could possibly find. Looking for a solution to how to stop a knife attack. At the time I thought I knew, I was wrong! I promised his parents who were friends of mine that I would always keep his name alive in the bravery of his actions trying to stop someone who just and took the life of his best friend in front of him. I went to Kali, Muay Thai and firerarms. I've spent every day since studying in practicing on how to survive a stabbing event. I run a couple of companies and with my business partner. We created Dragonfly academy of integrated defensive arts. Specializing in managing violence, and specifically on a mission to help serve marginalized communities like LGBTQ+, indigenous and native population, and groups that face targeted acts of violence. We built this to help save lives, because self defenses is for everyone! http://www.dragonflydefensivearts.com/
