In this week’s episode, I tackle the rise of the “I’m offended” crowd - a devious and calculated game that threatens your freedom of speech.

 This manipulative strategy has surged over the past decade, weaponising feelings to silence those with differing views. I break down nine practical responses you can use when someone plays this game with you. From the dismissive “And?” to more playful or pointed replies, I urge you to be prepared and never to apologise for speaking your truth.

Freedom of speech is foundational to a free society. If we surrender it in the name of avoiding offence, we are colluding with those who seek to erode our rights. As Stephen Fry once said, “So what if you're offended?” We need to call out this nonsense for what it is - and push back.

I also share a limerick that captures the absurdity of the offence culture and talk about the importance of speaking truthfully on controversial issues, from political correctness to the transgender debate. If we remain silent, bad laws and oppressive bureaucracies will continue to expand unchecked.

 On the health front, I highlight the importance of vitamin C and hydration. With increasing environmental toxins - from chemtrails to electromagnetic radiation—our bodies need support to stay strong. Constipation is the root of many health issues, and proper elimination is key.

Finally, I invite you to listen to my recent podcast appearance with Adam Gibson titled “Truth vs Comfort: A Leadership Dilemma” where we explore leadership, passion, and the low-energy culture affecting Australia’s future.

Live passionately, speak truthfully, and don’t be silenced.
