E253: Battlefield Addiction with Special Guest Art Dahlen

E253 Introduction

Today is a bit of a hybrid episode. I have a great guest on, someone who has walked the talk in regard to addiction and recovery and has started an organization that is truly helping addicts recover by putting families first and offering tough love and accountability rather than enabling a victim mentality and this jives with us here at Basecamp. Taking responsibility for one’s life is tried and true methodology that consistently produces results, as you will hear in our discussion.

But we are also on top of a monumental election that has both sides and anyone stuck in the middle nervous. What is coming our way? There are many interesting possibilities at play. A grand 5D chess game between two opponents who seem to know each other and what moves their adversary might make.

And I am not talking about D vs. R. God, we are WAY past that rudimentary understanding of this, aren’t we Basecampers. All of the rabbit holes lead to the Truth at this point. Go ahead, dive down. You will end up right here where we are at.

Like I said, I have this great interview but I needed something more. After all, the nation is bracing itself, is it not?

Then I found a great piece about the Trump-Joe Rogan conversation that Burning Bright put out on Substack. It fits perfectly. Burning Bright, I hope you don’t mind me turning your excellent piece into a episode here. I will credit you here and at the end. I take no credit for this piece about DJT and Rogan. Although I wish I would have written it. Enjoy the episode.
