Loose Cannons Podcast: Recent Episodes
Patrick O'Dell
In the days of wooden ships, loose cannons on the gun decks could be disastrous to a vessel and her crew. Attention to detail and the continuous pursuit of duty and responsibility was an absolute must. This channel is for people who want to keep moving forward in their lives—pursuing their dreams, better health, better relationships—and living a life of honor.I’m Pat, and I write books under the pen name Austin Chambers. At 49 I decided I was done wishing I would write a book some day. At 51, I decided I was done ignoring lifelong depression that was causing dark thoughts and problems with every relationship in my life. I also decided to leave a career that I had no passion for. Now I’ve decided I’m done making excuses about my sedentary lifestyle.My Mission: To create a life of discipline and engaging content that inspires others to become better versions of themselves. Your life has enough things that can sink it—don't let your Loose Cannons destroy you from the inside.
loosecannonspodcast #thispreparedlife #womenwhoprep
This one gets real. We talk about growing an Instagram channel, the rising tide of women preparedness teachers, and things that have helped Allison cope in the dark days since the loss of her beloved son, Michael. She is a warm and funny, down-to-earth person. I’m lucky to have landed this interview!
The journey IS the reward because there is no finish line…

loosecannonspodcast #anxiety #confidence
In this short episode, I go solo and talk about dealing with Anxiety. It isn’t something most of us beat once, but need to maintain for the rest of our lives. By taking control of our minds and employing some daily tools, we can learn to recognize and address the triggers as they’re happening. Anxiety falls within the fight or flight responses, which were originally meant to save us in the perils of early human history.

loosecannonspodcast #entrepreneurship #discipline
Today’s conversation was an awesome opportunity to get inside the head of an active First Sergeant! Bill Stoker, of “Stokermatic” channel on YouTube, and I discuss his military career, his break in service, his transition from the Marines to the Army, and most importantly—what it means to have “tactical virtue.” We talk about dealing with depression, helping young soldiers, and falling in-love with our pets as a form of helping us unpack the BS we’re carrying around. Enjoy!

obstacles #opportunities #optimism
Today I’m giving my two cents on one small piece of the book The Turnaround, by Darrin Donnelly, which I’ll link below. It is one of six stand-alone parable type novels in the Sports for the Soul series. The overall theme of the story is about a college quarterback who learns confidence thanks to excellent coaching. What I disucss in this short podcast is the concept of the Obstacle/Opportunity coin. How often does one become the other simply by flipping out perspective?

health #fitness #75hard
Today I’m giving my two cents on the tool that I’ve finally found to learn true self-discipline. I’m an overweight, asthmatic pre-diabetic. I NEEDED this. And it is simple, though not easy. It just gives you something to shoot for, and for me, I figured out within just a few days that it wasn’t about the 75 days, it was about teaching myself that I can do these daily challenges for the rest of my life. But it isn’t just about physical health. This is truly about winning over your mind. If you start and stop the goals you want to achieve in life, this program is what you’ve been looking for. I am not sponsored by this program in any way or form.

Episode 003
In today’s Cannon Crew episode my bud Julian and I have a locker-room chat on: What we would do if money weren’t an object; whether or not we actually know our neighbors; and our experience with Intermittent Fasting. Don’t worry, it’s more entertaining than that sentence sounds! Also, I found two stories worthy of sharing this week. One is inspiring, and one will make you shake your head and weep for the future.

Episode 002.
Today I have a great conversation with USA Today best-selling author A.R. Shaw. She has self-published over two dozen novels in the post-apocalyptic and thriller genres. This Air Force Reserve veteran wasn’t just content with one “side-gig-turned-full-time” job—she also taught herself the intricate art of day-trading stocks. Join us as we discuss the ins and outs of what it means to become a full-time novelist.
