The Shepherd's Code: Leadership, Legacy, and Life with Working Dogs

A dog without purpose isn’t happy, and I don’t think people are any different.” Level Up with the show-notes at: In a world chasing hacks and highlight reels, there’s one man who never left the land. Sean Hannah — better known as Sean the Sheepman — has built more than a following. He’s built a legacy. This isn’t just about sheepdogs — it’s about leadership, loss, loyalty, and what it means to live with purpose. This one’s real, raw, and deeply human.

🎙️Hard Truth #3 - Ozzy’s Gone. Do we only care after people pass?
07/22/2025
🎙️Hard Truth #3 - Ozzy’s Gone. Do we only care after people pass?
Ozzy’s gone. And suddenly everyone cares. But did they care yesterday? Did they tell him when he was here? Or are they just posting because it’s trending? This isn’t just about him. It’s about us. And how we’re wasting our lives pretending to care… too late. On today’s short and sharp solo episode, I get real about the performative grief we see every time someone famous passes — and how it reveals a much deeper problem in how we connect with the people who matter. If you’ve ever felt uncomfortable watching everyone jump on the RIP bandwagon… you’re not alone. Be a real fan, not a social media follower. If you’ve ever wished you were better at telling the people you love that they matter — while they’re still alive… this is for you. This episode challenges you to drop the lip service, ditch the herd mentality, and start practicing authentic connection now. I also give you my simple, 3-step Connection Code — a practical way to make sure you’re not one of those people who only shows up when it’s too late. Stop pretending. Start living. Today. 👊 What You’ll Get in This Episode: Why performative grief is so common — and so empty How social media has trained us to fake connection The uncomfortable truth about your own habits The 3-step Connection Code to flip this and lead differently A personal challenge to act — today — while it still counts 🧰 The Connection Code: ✅ Daily — Presence Check: ask who needs to hear from you today, and act ✅ Weekly — The Call: pick up the phone for one meaningful call ✅ Monthly — The Legacy: ask what they’d say about you if you were gone, and adjust 🎧 Listen now, and then take 5 minutes to reach out to one person who needs to hear from you. Do it before it’s too late. 📲 If this hits home for you… Share it with someone who needs to hear it. Tag me with your thoughts. Tell me who you called today. Rate & review the show — and let’s keep raising the standard, together. Don’t just mourn the dead. Honour the living.

🎙️Hard Truth #2 - One Man, One Tube, No Shame: A Colonoscopy Confession
07/01/2025
🎙️Hard Truth #2 - One Man, One Tube, No Shame: A Colonoscopy Confession
Harsh Truth #2: Colonoscopy – It's Not as Bad as You Think Guest: None Summary: In this cheek-clenching solo episode, Ian shares the joy (read: mild discomfort) of getting a colonoscopy — the glamorous life of a man with frequent toilet visits. Was it terrifying? Nope. Was it uncomfortable? A bit. Was he awake for the whole thing? Absolutely. This one’s for every lad who's convinced a colonoscopy means sacrificing their dignity. Spoiler alert: it doesn’t. Key Points: Why Ian got the invite to the backdoor camera club (a.k.a. frequent bowel movements) What a colonoscopy actually is — and why it's not just for pensioners The prep: how to turn your bathroom into your best friend for 24 hours Being awake and not screaming — surprisingly manageable The nurses are legends: no judgement, no nonsense Why avoiding it is more painful than the actual thing Early detection saves lives, not pride Notable Reminder: "You’re awake, yes, but it’s not like they bring a film crew. Just one little camera, one big mission." "It’s a day of discomfort for peace of mind. And bowel health. Sexy, right?" "Real men don’t skip health checks — they clench and crack on." Main Lesson: If you think a colonoscopy is scary, try dealing with undiagnosed bowel problems. It’s awkward for about a minute, but it could literally save your life. Grow up, gear up, and get checked. Audience Challenge: Book that test you’ve been avoiding. Whether it's your GP, your bowels, or your blood pressure — get it sorted this week. No excuses. And if you've already had one, message a mate and tell him to man up and do the same. Even if it's a hard conversation, to start something that scares you, whatever it is, do it, start it, try it. Don't let short-term embaressment hold you back from long-term health or success. Links Mentioned:

When Everything Goes to Hell: The 3-Step Survival Protocol
Today’s guest is Dr Teimojin Tan! Listen to the show at Teimojin grew up in Montreal and had a very worldly upbringing. From taking his first steps on a plane as a child to solo traveling through developing countries in his youth, he was never one to feel stuck in one place. Through his travels, he developed a fascination and appreciation for indigenous cultures. As he learned about plant-based medicines, survival, hunting tactics, and local customs, he was also exposed to the health disparities and challenges facing impoverished communities. Seeing people in need and feeling helpless to render aid inspired him to work for non-profit organizations in South America, Ghana, and East Africa and to pursue a higher education. But coming from a single-parent household, he wanted to be financially independent so at the age of 17, Teimojin joined the Canadian Army Reserve as an Infantry soldier. He took a special interest in Cold Weather Warfare & Survival and would spend weeks to months in the Subarctic learning how to make improvised defenses, conduct patrols, assaults, search and rescue missions, and employ strategies to procure food and shelter that he learned from the native Cree Rangers. Eventually, Teimojin found his way to medical school at Michigan State University and became a doctor. Now, he is a full-time ER doctor working in rural Maine and teaches Survival Medicine in his free time. These contrasting experiences in fighting and healing, with a healthy obsession with survival and the outdoors, led him to specialize in Wilderness Medicine. Teimojin’s dream is to teach Survival Medicine internationally while working as a physician in underserved indigenous communities and being involved in community development projects. Teimojin started Survival Doctors™ to teach people how to prepare for medical emergencies in survival situations. He hopes to share his unique perspective on medicine so that others can venture out in the wild confidently and safely. Partnered with other medical professionals, military veterans, survival experts, and search and rescue specialists, Survival Doctors™ offers an educational experience like no other. #drteimojintan #nextlevelguy #podcast #survivalskills #medicine #saveyourself #alonetvshow #medicalemergencies #survivaldoctors #survivalmedicine #creerangers #canadianarmy #military #doctor #er
