The HARD TRUTH, (formerly ”The Launchpad Podcast”) is rooted in personal development until about 1 1/2 years ago when we ushered in the pandemic landscape that has become our ”new normal.” The podcast began to change as Jason recognized the way people communicated with one another did tool. So he wanted to do his best to bridge the gap between both sides and share information that the mainstream sometimes suppresses. This channel champions freedom of speech and expression, a safe space for constructive conversation, and giving people a platform that might not otherwise be given the opportunity.

In this #podcast, Maxime and I discuss the election, what went right and what went wrong. Of course, we dive into the #politics of the pandemic, passports, his beliefs in pro-choice and personal freedoms.
It's raw, it's honest, and he tells it like it is. If you don't like them, don't vote for them. Their platform won't change, but he hopes, with his party's ideas brought to the table, the country will.
Maxime was first elected as Member of Parliament for Beauce on January 23, 2006, and was appointed to Cabinet on February 6, 2006, as Minister of Industry. Mr. Bernier also served as Minister of Foreign Affairs from August 14, 2007, to May 26, 2008, and was re-elected to represent Beauce on October 14, 2008, again receiving the largest majority of all MPs in Quebec.
Re-elected on May 2, 2011, he was appointed Minister of State for Small Business and Tourism, and then re-elected a fourth time in November 2015, receiving more than 59% of the vote.
On August 23, 2018, he left the Conservative Party of Canada to sit as an independent MP and announced the launch of a new party, the People Party of Canada, which he continues to lead today.

Pat Woodcock is an Ottawa native, this is where he made a name for himself and even spent some time playing with the Ottawa Renegades. He graduated with honors while playing football for Syracuse, and had some playing time in the NFL, but always had a dream of winning a Grey Cup, which he did in 2002, and being recognized as the most valuable player in the game.
Since retiring from pro football, he's put his education to work and he's helping men achieve their wellness goals, motivation, discipline, and mindset, instead of a dialogue of excuses...and we also discuss what alcohol and sugar does to the body.
Inside, we talk about his career, controlling ego, mindset, his family, what he's learned most from his kids, and what he'd say to his 16-year-old self if he could go back and do so. Pat is incredibly well-spoken and easy to listen to, and dedicated to his craft. Find more about Pat on Instagram @elitecoach

David Weiss is a world-renowned Flat Earth expert, and inside this podcast, he shares a few interesting perspectives. I personally don't understand why some get so riled up about the subject. Take a look, or don't... regardless, nobody has to change or make up their mind. It's more about the exploration of different points of view that really turns my crank.
This was an interesting podcast, to say the least. "BITCOIN BET" Davis is so confident in his craft, he's offering up a BITCOIN to anyone who can prove that the earth, is in fact, a globe.
