MDOT with Phil Miller
On this episode of the Modern Day Overthinker podcast, host Collin Strajack interviews therapist Phil Miller, who specializes in couples counseling, family therapy, and individual therapy, practicing just outside Grand Rapids, Michigan. The discussion highlights the most common issue in couples therapy: communication breakdowns, often described as a lack of connection or difficulty understanding each other’s perspectives. Miller, trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), emphasizes helping couples access deeper emotions and longings to rebuild trust and intimacy. He notes that while most clients are married, he also works with premarital couples and families, addressing challenges like post-marriage adjustments and the emotional complexities of living together, which can feel overwhelming even after the honeymoon phase. The podcast also explores individual therapy, with Miller addressing men’s mental health, a key focus during Mental Health Awareness Month (this was recorded in May). Common issues for men include emotional communication struggles, anxiety, perfectionism, and pornography addiction, often compounded by societal expectations to suppress emotions. Miller, who has personal experience with anxiety, underscores the importance of therapy for therapists, destigmatizing mental health care. He discusses the challenges of fatherhood, its impact on mental health, and the power of presence in relationships and parenting. Additionally, they touch on systemic barriers like state-specific licensing for therapists, which complicates access to care, and the critical role of empathy and support in addressing severe mental health crises, such as suicidal thoughts, emphasizing the importance of community and connection.

MDOT with Collin Strajack (Host)
In a candid and heartfelt episode of the Modern Day Overthinker podcast, host Collin Strajack opens up about his recent struggles with OCD, anxiety, and depression, shedding light on the inner turmoil that led to a hiatus from the podcast. Collin delves into the challenging OCD loops that trapped him, detailing the compulsive behaviors that disrupted his ability to post episodes and the mental battles that ensued. Despite significant personal achievements, such as receiving a promotion at work and deepening his faith, Collin faced overwhelming anxiety that led him to consider serious measures for his mental health. Collin's story is one of resilience in the face of mental health challenges. He discusses his journey with therapy, the importance of not avoiding problems, and how his OCD, termed the "doubt disorder," impacts his life by attacking his values and causing him to question his actions and thoughts. This episode is a frank discussion about the reality of living with OCD, including the intrusive thoughts and compulsions that characterize the disorder, and the constant battle with self-doubt and the fear of not being good enough. Throughout the episode, Collin emphasizes the importance of seeking help, the power of small victories, and the role of faith and community in his recovery process. He shares his experiences with substance abuse recovery, the significance of fellowship, and how being open and vulnerable has helped him connect with others. Collin also explores his passion for comedy as a form of expression and healing, the impact of his mental health on his relationships and self-image, and his decision to try ketamine-assisted psychotherapy as a new avenue for treatment. The podcast episode is not just a personal narrative but a message of hope and encouragement for others facing similar struggles. Collin encourages listeners to reach out for help, to set small, achievable goals, and to remember that dark periods do not last forever. He highlights the importance of community, checking in with oneself and others, and continuing to pursue one's passions and goals despite the challenges posed by mental health issues.

MDOT with Ben Hagarty
Ben Hagarty is a video director, cinematographer, and podcaster from Cedar Falls, Iowa. On this episode (recorded 1/8/24), Ben and I discuss his journey to success as a creator who has worked with some of the biggest artists, celebrities, and brands in the world. His journey is inspiring to say the least. When it comes to his work ethic, networking skills, and talents behind the scenes, Ben is a creator like no other. His value in his industry is an another level. That is not him saying this either because he is too humble to say all of that... which is another reason I enjoyed speaking with Ben. We even talked about how much he could flex with his accomplishments, but doesn't feel the need to do so. The dude has a Grammy award for his work on Homecoming: A Film By Beyonce and casually brought it up like it wasn't a big deal. That's the kind of Ben is. A successful guy with humility who keeps himself grounded. We talk about how and what attributes to those qualities as well. We talked about a lot on this episode because Ben loves to talk about what he does considering he 100% loves what he does. I was also ready to listen and ask all the questions I could think of to learn more about a dude I have watched explode into a creative machine online for over a decade after connecting in Cedar Falls around 2010. Here are the 5 key topics of discussion I had with Ben Hagarty: - Creative journey - Personal growth & challenges - The inspiration from artists he loves and has worked with he is obtained - Building a creative community (Black With No Cream) - His family upbringing and Iowa roots It was awesome having Ben Hagarty on the podcast as a fellow Iowan, dreamer, and creator. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did making it. Keep up with Ben here: Keep up with Modern Day Overthinker and Collin the host here:

MDOT with Dan Alten
Dan Alten is a standup comedian based in Louisville, Kentucky. However, he spends most of his time on the road doing shows throughout the country. I was fortunate enough to host a show for him on 10/7 at The V'ue in Clinton, IA. Since Dan was crashing at my place that night, we decided to record the podcast after the show since he had to hit the road again for another show in another state the next day. This is an episode unlike any other because the majority of the conversation was about Dan being what we call a "road comic" who seems to almost always be on tour. As another comedian, I was very curious about this lifestyle and I hope others will appreciate how interesting Dan's life is as well. He is also hilarious which made it difficult to stick to the serious stuff. We managed to get some of it in, though as I always do. We talked about loneliness on the road, highs and lows, his experience with anti-depressants, relationships, getting out of a rut, and more. Dan also enjoyed saying my name wrong on purpose. If anything, you will be entertained by this episode. Enjoy! Keep up with Dan here when he decides to post on social media:

MDOT with Jonathan Bogner
is a creative producer, entrepreneur, investor, disruptor, and consummate problem solver in his professional life. However, in 2007, Jonathan's whole life changed completely. In his own words: My “prior” life was great. I had a beautiful wife, two teenage sons, a nice home in Beverly Hills, and--- I was living my dream job--- of producing movies. In 2007, when I came back from selling my movie at a major film festival---My life changed in an instant.--- I had heart failure, two massive strokes and aphasia (the inability to speak). I survived ---but my heart had become a ticking time bomb. On this episode of the Modern Day Overthinker podcast, Jonathan and I discussed not only his health issues, but his perspective on life after going through all that he did. From having 2 strokes, learning to speak again, and having a heart transplant, Jonathan has a hell of a story to tell. So much was shared throughout this episode including not being a victim of your circumstances, living in the moment, getting rid of toxic people from your life, and just having a more optimistic, positive perspective on life. One warning I'd like to issue here that suicide was discussed on this episode, and the opinions shared are opinions, and we all view the world differently. Most of us also know that suicide is a very touchy subject. If you are suicidal and need someone to talk to: Please call or text 988 or a loved one who cares about you. Don't let fear or shame get in the way of asking for help! People care! Special shout out to our sponsor "Hidden Gem" vacation rental in Cape Coral, Florida.

MDOT with Brandon Scott
Brandon Scott (owner of Culture Shock Barbershop in Davenport, IA) has been my barber on and off for about a decade now. For at least the last couple years, every time I get my haircut with him we discuss mental health. So obviously, I had to have on the podcast again. This time, he came over and we talked about him living with Bipolar Disorder (BPD 2) as well as his eagerness to challenge himself. Other topics include his relationships with his clients, and how the interactions are why he loves being a barber, as well as everyone having the ability to change. Brandon also had a perspective regarding living with his mental illness that I enjoyed hearing him share. That and so much more can be heard on this episode.
