  • What is meant by “escaping the Meatrix”? 
  • A plant-based person saves the life of one animal everyday 
  • The environmental impact and effects of the meat-eating industry on the planet 
  • Eating meat is not sustainable — the Earth’s resources are not infinite 
  • Indoctrination and why we don’t question eating meat
  • Why are we taught to care for certain animals but not others? Speciesism – some animals are pets, others are food 
  • The cozy relationship between the Meatrix and the US government: “I don’t like to get into politics too much, but food is political.” 
  • Meat industry spent 200 million just lobbying against climate change legislation 
  • Marketing meat – ever consider how some of the most effective marketing campaigns revolve around the consumption of meat and animal products? Beef. It’s What’s for Dinner; Pork. The Other White Meat; The Incredible Edible Egg; Got Milk? 
  • The shift from local farms to big conglomerates 
  • In researching the book, he discovered that the top 9 of 11 causes of deaths in the US could be reduced by a plant-based lifestyle  
  • The impact of meat on lung function – the same as chronic smoking
  • Alzheimer’s – the connection between animal-based foods and blood supply to our brains 
  • Busting meat myths: Evolution – we evolved to eat meat, didn’t we?

Stuart Waldner is an activist and an author who invites readers to take the red pill as they Escape the Meatrix, the title of his debut non-fiction book, written after he transitioned to a plant-based diet in 2008. As his health improved, he felt better, and the more he learned about the statistical connections between our dietary choices and the worldwide climate crises we face, the more he felt an urgency to tell other people —for our health and for the planet.? 

Waldner spent nearly two decades exploring Earth’s greatest wonders and connecting with sacred sites around the globe. When he’s not advocating for the health of people and the planet, he spends time playing with his dogs, cooking plant-based foods, running, and restoring his 128-year-old Victorian home.

BB22.52. Anish Majumdar, are you a WAGE-SLAVE?

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Building Your Business with Sara Troy and her guest Anish Majumdar, on air from December 20th

My why is to free as many deserving people from the quiet hell known as “finding a job” for the rest of their lives. It doesn’t matter what your current job is, or how much you make, or what company you work for: if I took away your job today and you are unable to quickly find something better ON YOUR TERMS…you are not free. You’re just a paid wage slave. And this goes on all the way to the top. 

This is personal for me because years before I became a career coach, i was hustling for my own abundance (and that of my family). And I saw firsthand that what you accomplish or achieve makes LITTLE TO NO difference if the only way for you to get paid is to impress a fear-based recruiter or gatekeeper. 

There is a COMPLETELY different way to do all of this which we were never taught about. 

And once you learn it, you will have the power to stand on your own two feet, write your own professional destiny, and take intelligent risks without fearing the judgment of those who simply do not get you.

LM22-52. Kate Boytek, HELL OR HIGH WATER

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

“for the LOVE of Music” with Sara Troy and her guest Kate Boytek, on air from December 19th

Singer/songwriter Kate Boytek hit the stage for the first time at the tender age of five at her local country fair talent show. Singing opportunities were few and far between in Kate’s tiny hometown of Logan, West Virginia, nestled deep in the Appalachian coalfields. Kate sang at dozens of local charity events, directed her church choir, and eventually attracted the attention of West Virginia native and legendary Grand Ole Opry and Bradley’s Barn audio engineer Vic Gabany. With Vic’s help and guidance from her late musical director and drummer Scotty Hawkins (Reba McEntire, Kix Brooks), Boytek pursued her dream in Nashville and appeared with country hitmakers Tyler Farr, Eric Paslay, Trick Pony, and others.

But like a sad country song, Kate’s goals of a life in music were turned upside down when she was forced to walk away from her dreams for almost a decade. Now a wiser and more seasoned artist, Kate Boytek has re-emerged with a songwriting style that is both fresh and contemporary and yet has echoes of the classic singer-songwriters from the 1970s. Her first official single HELL OR HIGH WATER is currently catching fire online and through increasing radio play and is currently available for purchase via Apple Music.

Boytek’s upcoming debut album will include tracks written by Kate along with veteran songsmiths including Britton Cameron (Lonestar, Sister Hazel), Kim McLean (Loretta Lynn, Trisha Yearwood, and Tim McGraw), Brian Carper (Aaron Lewis). With career guidance from veteran music executives Bernard Porter (Jason Aldean) and Burke Allen (America’s Got Talent Winner Landau Eugene Murphy Jr.), a treasure chest of first-class songs, and a personality that shines through like few others, Kate Boytek’s career, like the title of one of her new songs, is poised to go anywhere. And we’ll be watching.

GV22-52. Kevin M. Hallinan, Outwittng the Criminal

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Our Global Veterans with Sara Troy and her guest Kevin M. Hallinan, on air from December 19th

The Police force needs to understand the criminal mind to know how to combat it; there needs to be an expansion of education and integration of psychoanalysis, social workers, and even past criminals to show the way forward. Things so need to change on all fronts to combat criminal minds.

We are grateful for the brave men and women who help keep New York City’s streets safe, and we know the challenges they face every day. With your ongoing support, we can continue to provide peer assistance to struggling police officers who need our help. Thank you.

POPPA has responded to thousands of police officers who have reached out for help.  The majority of calls to POPPA were by officers who just needed to talk to someone or wanted to meet to discuss issues in more depth.  Approximately 45% of officers were referred to clinicians for ongoing confidential professional help.  Of the officers who received POPPA services, the vast majority returned to full-duty with no career disruption, or chose to retire.

During the 10-year period (1986-1995) before the existence of POPPA, there were an average of 7 active-duty officer suicides per year.  The 28 police suicides from 1993-1995 contributed to the urgent need for an organization of police peers, separate from the Department, but able to work confidentially and with the cooperation of the NYPD.

In the 26 years (1996-2021) since the creation of POPPA, the number of NYPD suicides dropped from an average of 7 suicides annually to fewer than 5 per year, with a low of 2 to a high of 10 in 2019.  In addition to this reduction, more than 150 police officers who have reported to POPPA that they did not complete suicide as a direct result of calling the POPPA 24/7 Helpline and receiving services.  The reduction in police suicide may be attributed to a variety of factors, including changes within the NYPD making officers more comfortable with seeking services, changes in attitudes reducing the stigma of needing and getting help, and the greater availability of resources, we believe that POPPA has played a significant role in the reduction of suicide among NYPD officers.

Nationwide, the number of suicides is greater than the number of line-of-duty deaths.  This is true among NYC police officers if we exclude the 23 deaths on 9/11, an ever-increasing number of 9/11-related deaths, and police deaths attributed to COVID-19 in 2020 and 2021.  Suicide is consistently the number 1 killer of police nationwide annually.

Among NYPD officers, the suicide rate is lower than that of the National Police Suicide rate (13.8 vs 17.0 per 100,000).  This may reflect a combination of the resiliency of NYC police officers and the availability of resources.  POPPA has been a leader in developing initiatives to combat officer suicide.  POPPA’s Suicide Awareness for Emergency Responders (S.A.F.E.R.) Program gives police officers the tools to identify specific warning signs of suicidal thinking and strategies to respond to an officer in crisis.

His fascinating inside look at a life in law enforcement spans layers of history, explores evolutions in national security, and features game-changing heroes and eye-opening innovations. Kevin M. Hallinan’s life and learning are at once informative, thrilling, entertaining—and perhaps most of all, truly inspiring.

 Kevin M. Hallinan is known as an innovative leader in professional sports security and operations. Serving under four commissioners as SVP of Security and Facility Management, Hallinan oversaw security for all thirty Major League Baseball Clubs, creating revolutionary new systems to better protect the game and its players.
