• The Dad Deficit: Why Young Men Are Angry, Addicted and Lost | Raw Minds S2 Ep. 95
    Jul 19 2026

    MEN’S MENTAL HEALTH, YOUNG MEN IN CRISIS, PORNOGRAPHY ADDICTION, GRIEF, MASCULINITY, BROTHERHOOD, FATHER WOUNDS, FAITH, DISCIPLINE, MENTORSHIP, PURPOSE, DEPRESSION, TRAUMA RECOVERY


    Why are so many young men angry, addicted, isolated, and searching for purpose?


    In this episode of Raw Minds, Erick sits down with Colonel Jesse Boulden, Commanding Officer of the International ALERT Academy, for a raw conversation about grief, addiction, masculinity, faith, brotherhood, discipline, mentorship, and the crisis facing young men.


    Jesse grew up as one of six children in a military family. His father served as a submarine commander, and Jesse moved 18 times before turning 18. Constant change, dyslexia, bullying, insecurity, and his father’s time away left him searching for identity and belonging.


    When Jesse’s mother was diagnosed with cancer, his family entered a 15-year battle that ended with her death in 2015. Jesse explains how pain, fear, loneliness, and anxiety contributed to a long struggle with pornography addiction. He opens up about the cycle of secrecy, shame, and using the same behaviour to numb the pain it created.


    Jesse joined the International ALERT Academy in 2008. What began as a search for adventure and direction became an 18-year journey through discipline, service, brotherhood, and leadership. He eventually became the first graduate of the academy to reach the rank of colonel and serve as commanding officer.


    Erick and Jesse discuss the “dad deficit,” father wounds, male loneliness, masculinity, gangs, addiction, aggression, and hopeless isolation.


    They also discuss what healthy masculinity should look like. Real strength includes self-control, responsibility, honesty, service, emotional maturity, and the courage to ask for help.


    The conversation becomes deeply personal as Jesse describes losing his mother and the men who drove through the night to support him. Erick shares his experiences with depression, suicidal thoughts, losing his best friend, his dog, and his fiancée.


    They discuss why grief cannot be rushed, why holding space can matter more than giving advice, and how helping someone else through pain can give suffering a new purpose.


    Jesse also explains ALERT Academy’s training in Christian discipleship, emergency response, trades, leadership, and disaster relief.


    This episode is for young men who feel lost, fathers worried about their sons, families dealing with addiction, and anyone trying to understand what becoming a healthy man requires.

  • When Your Sweat Freezes Before it Leaves Your Skin | Neil Thubron | Raw Minds S2 Ep. 94
    Jul 18 2026

    Mental toughness, Yukon Arctic Ultra, leadership, discipline, resilience, extreme endurance, achieving big goals, men’s mental health, executive coaching, overcoming adversity, purpose, personal responsibility, anxiety, pressure, mindset

    What does it take to keep moving when you are alone in the frozen Yukon, temperatures fall to minus 55°C, most competitors have dropped out, and you still have hundreds of miles ahead?

    Neil Thubron is an executive coach, leadership and sales trainer, author, keynote speaker, former IBM sales leader, British Army Reserve veteran, sailor, and extreme endurance athlete.

    In this episode of Raw Minds, Neil takes us inside the brutal 300-mile Yukon Arctic Ultra. Only six competitors made it through the first freezing night. Neil explains how he managed frozen clothing, exhaustion, isolation, dangerous temperatures, and the mental battle that began when the excitement disappeared and survival became the priority.

    During that race, Neil developed the foundation for his 7P Formula for Success and his book, Yucan: Achieve Any Big Goal Using the 7P Formula for Success.

    Neil also opens up about being adopted as a baby, becoming one of IBM’s youngest managers, training as an officer at Sandhurst, crossing the Sahara Desert, sailing from Australia to China, and coaching leaders through pressure, anxiety, and major life challenges.

    Erick and Neil discuss purpose, grief, victim mentality, personal responsibility, morning routines, discipline, leadership, and why focusing on what you can control can change your life.

    This conversation is about more than extreme racing. It is about becoming the person who keeps going when the pain starts, doubt gets louder, and nobody is watching.

  • USS Cole Survivor Reveals the PTSD Battle No One Saw | Raw Minds S2 Ep. 93
    Jul 17 2026

    USS Cole survivor, military PTSD, veteran mental health, childhood trauma, fatherhood, resilience, therapy, Navy leadership, suicide prevention, and healing after trauma.

    Amaury Ponciano survived the terrorist attack on the USS Cole, but surviving the explosion was only the beginning of his battle.

    In this powerful Raw Minds conversation, Amaury takes us inside the October 12, 2000 attack that killed 17 American sailors and injured 39 others. He explains what he heard, saw, and felt after the explosion, including finding a fallen friend and helping his shipmates fight to save the damaged ship.

    Amaury also opens up about being diagnosed with PTSD, learning how trauma can return without warning, and why therapy remains part of his life more than two decades later.

    Long before the Navy, Amaury experienced poverty, political violence, abandonment, anger, and childhood trauma in the Dominican Republic. After immigrating to the United States, he joined the Navy, served for more than 20 years, earned two master’s degrees, and rose to the rank of Master Chief.

    We also discuss fatherhood, teaching boys to express emotions, controlling anger, vulnerability in relationships, accountability, finding your purpose, building resilience, and leaving a legacy your children can respect.

    Amaury shares the story behind his memoir, Anchored in Resilience: Overcoming Adversity through Mental Health Awareness, and explains why he finally put his most difficult experiences on paper.

    This episode is for veterans, fathers, trauma survivors, military families, immigrants, and anyone fighting a battle that other people cannot see.

  • Wounded 3 Times in Vietnam | But the Real Battle Started After | Raw Minds S2 Ep. 92

    Raw Minds Podcast

    How does a man survive war and still carry the battle inside him for more than fifty years?

    In this Raw Minds Podcast episode, Erick sits down with Keith A. Cole, a United States Marine Corps combat veteran, former CPA, author, husband, and father.

    Keith served in Vietnam as an M60 machine gunner and was wounded three times.

    He survived mortar fire, rocket shrapnel, jungle ambushes, and an incendiary round while riding on the side of a tank.

    After Vietnam, Keith was assigned to inspector and instructor duty. Part of his job was notifying families that their son or husband had been killed or wounded in action.

    Keith says that duty could feel harder than combat.

    For decades, he carried grief, nightmares, alcohol use, trauma, burnout, and PTSD.

    From the outside, he built a successful life.

    Inside, he was still fighting.

    After more than fifty years, Keith reached his breaking point.

    He did not surrender to an enemy.

    He surrendered to God.

    Keith explains why surrender is not weakness, how faith became the foundation of his recovery, and how he found a new purpose helping people facing trauma, burnout, grief, and silent emotional pain.

    He also shares the story behind his book:

    Burnout: God’s Recovery Plan

    This episode is for veterans, fathers, men taught to stay silent, and anyone dealing with PTSD, grief, burnout, trauma, addiction, faith struggles, or emotional exhaustion.

    Recovery is possible.

    Faith can rebuild what trauma tried to destroy.

  • Unmasking the Shame That Keeps You in Bad Relationships | Raw Minds S2 Ep. 91
    Jun 5 2026

    Toxic relationships

    Toxic love

    Shame

    Relationship trauma

    Emotional healing

    Men’s mental health

    Trauma recovery

    Self awareness

    Dr. Stephen Paul Edwards

    The Venus Fly Trap

    Raw Minds Podcast


    Why do people stay in toxic relationships even when they know they are losing themselves?


    In this powerful episode of Raw Minds Podcast, Erick sits down with Dr. Stephen Paul Edwards, author, international speaker, spiritual counselor, and the creator behind The Venus Fly Trap, Sex, Lies, and Repercussions.


    This raw conversation goes deep into toxic relationships, toxic love, shame, emotional wounds, relationship trauma, childhood trauma, self awareness, desire, control, attachment, identity, and rebuilding after chaos.


    Dr. Stephen Paul Edwards opens up about growing up in Blackpool, England, carrying pain from childhood, being shaped by shame, building success, repeating painful relationship patterns, and learning how to stop running from the truth.


    The Venus Fly Trap is not just a book about love.


    It is a story about obsession, toxic patterns, desire, shame, emotional truth, and what happens when someone gets pulled into something that looks beautiful but slowly becomes destructive.


    Erick and Stephen talk about why people ignore red flags, why toxic love can feel exciting at first, why shame keeps people silent, why men shut down emotionally, and why real healing starts when you finally look at your own patterns.


    This episode is about toxic relationships.

    It is about shame.

    It is about emotional healing.

    It is about self awareness.

    It is about rebuilding after chaos.

    It is about learning why the same patterns keep showing up in your life.


    If you have ever stayed too long in a toxic relationship, ignored red flags, carried shame, chased chaos, lost yourself trying to save someone, or wondered why the same emotional patterns keep repeating, this episode is for you.

  • Cancer Care Is About to Look Completely Different | Dr. Eliot Siegel | Raw Minds S2 Ep. 89
    May 15 2026

    How many men wait until something is seriously wrong before they finally get checked?


    In this Raw Minds Podcast episode, Erick sits down with Dr. Eliot Siegel, one of the pioneers of digital radiology, AI in medical imaging, and precision cancer care.


    Dr. Siegel is a founding physician at United Theranostics and has spent his career helping medicine move into the future. From helping build the first filmless radiology department in the United States to working with AI, PET scans, cancer imaging, nuclear medicine, and theranostics, his work is changing how doctors see disease and treat patients.


    This episode breaks down cancer treatment in a way normal people can understand.


    Dr. Siegel explains theranostics, a growing field that combines therapy and diagnostics. In simple words, it helps doctors see cancer cells in the body and then target treatment toward those cells. Erick compares it to Google Maps for cancer, and that is one of the easiest ways to understand it. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}


    They also talk about AI in medicine, prostate cancer, early detection, PSA testing, men’s health, Alzheimer’s imaging, epilepsy, PET scans, personalized treatment, and why the future of healthcare may look completely different than what most people know today.


    But this episode is not only about technology.


    It is about people.


    Behind every scan is a human being.

    Behind every diagnosis is a family.

    Behind every treatment is someone fighting for more time, more hope, and more life.


    This episode also hits the mental health side of medicine. Erick asks Dr. Siegel what it feels like to carry the weight of hard conversations with cancer patients, and Dr. Siegel opens up about the toll that work can take on doctors too.


    For men listening, the message is simple.


    Stop waiting.

    Stop ignoring symptoms.

    Stop acting tough when your health is on the line.

    Book the appointment.

    Ask the question.

    Get checked.

    Be your own advocate.

  • Men Suffer in Silence Until It Almost Destroys Them | Chris Avery | Raw Minds Ep. 88
    May 15 2026

    Men’s mental health

    Addiction recovery

    Faith and discipline

    Childhood trauma

    Fatherhood

    Self trust

    Brotherhood

    Emotional resilience

    Men suffering in silence

    Personal growth


    How many men are breaking inside while pretending they are fine?


    In this Raw Minds Podcast episode, Erick sits down with Chris Avery, a faith first performance coach, father, husband, and man who has lived through pain most men never talk about.


    Chris opens up about childhood trauma, shame, addiction, recovery, self doubt, faith, fatherhood, and the pressure men carry when they feel like they have to stay strong for everyone else.


    This conversation gets real fast.


    Chris talks about spending years running from pain, using drugs and alcohol to numb what he did not know how to face, and the moment he realized he could not keep living that way anymore.


    But this episode is not just about rock bottom.


    It is about what comes after.


    It is about rebuilding self trust.

    It is about honest conversations.

    It is about asking for help.

    It is about becoming a man of your word.

    It is about brotherhood.

    It is about responsibility.

    It is about showing up when the old version of you wants to quit.


    Chris has coached over 1,000 men through isolation, overwhelm, pressure, identity struggles, and the silent battles they carry. His work is built around faith, emotional resilience, discipline, self trust, and helping men stop letting fear and limiting beliefs control their lives.


    He also shares his mission for 2027, running 50K every day around the perimeter of the United States with his family beside him.


    That is not normal.


    That is mission.


    This episode is for the fathers, husbands, entrepreneurs, men in recovery, men rebuilding after trauma, and the men who smile in public while falling apart in private.


    For men watching this, the message is simple.


    Stop hiding.

    Stop pretending.

    Stop carrying it alone.

    Say less.

    Do more.

    Tell the truth.

    Ask for help.

    Build trust with yourself again.


    This episode could be the conversation a man needs before he gives up on himself.
