Summary

It was a pleasure to bring back one of our most popular guests to date, Dan Astin-Gregory, the founder of Elevate MEDIA and host of the Pandemic podcast.

Dan is an entrepreneur, strategist and inspirational thought leader who has impacted the lives of more than 500,000 people from over 90 different countries with his work in human potential, leadership and entrepreneurship.

More recently Dan has been in the public limelight for the extensive campaigning he has done to bring us the untold story of the pandemic which has been received by over one million followers.

Despite the backlash, Dan has continually challenged the mainstream narrative and brought fascinating insights from some of the most qualified professionals across the world to challenge the global elite.

Whatever your views are around the Covid-19 narrative, I would encourage everyone to keep an open mind and question everything.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

When we remove the more hysterical voices from the COVID conversation, we can begin to have dialogue that is less reactionary and more constructive.
Once we give power over our lives to governments, they rarely relinquish that power without a hard fight. We must ensure that we do not trade our freedoms forever in exchange for short term benefits.
The key to unifying society is not to place people into silos or boxes. We must listen with empathy and respond with understanding. The solution must come from a place of acceptance, not division.
Dehumanisation is occurring in enlightened society now. We have spent generations stating that this level of discrimination will never happen again, but yet we are now experiencing a wholesale embargo upon people's beliefs and feelings.

BEST MOMENTS

'There's a level of understanding that we can now garner from two years of data'

'I'm putting the foundation in place for long term change'

'These rights and freedoms are under threat and it's not temporary'

'By empathising, it helps me to gain a greater understanding of how they have come to their perspective and understanding of the world'

0:00.0	I believe I've got my first ever repeat guest and who better than the fabulous Dan
0:07.4	asked in Gregory. For anyone who's not checked out the previous episode, please do that because
0:11.8	it'll set a bit of context to what we're going on to discuss. But Dan is the host of the pandemic
0:18.3	podcast. He's literally had millions of views and downloads since this first start. I think
0:25.0	you started in September last year, is that correct Dan? October last year, you're now reached
0:30.5	over 10 million views in the last 12 months now and growing, just by the challenges with censorship
0:36.8	and being de-platform a couple of times on the way. Well, it doesn't kill us makes us strong.
0:42.3	You've been putting out some phenomenal content, you know, challenging the mainstream rhetoric,
0:47.2	which we're going to, but let's just start off with a little bit about you. What have you been up to?
0:52.4	So the last time we were on, it was just before you had the question, everything in London.
0:59.2	What's been happening with you since then? Well, gosh, that feels like a lifetime away now.
1:03.5	I mean, that was only July and we chose that. We chose the timing in July because we believe
1:08.4	we'd have like a small window where the world isn't hysterical about COVID so that we can actually
1:14.2	have what I would do in an adult conversation with that without fear and just the ludicracy of
1:23.3	the situation that we found. So just to take stock, just to take a breather and say, well,
1:27.6	has this situation actually helped or hindered the situation? It was a very successful event,
1:33.7	that event itself had one to two and a half million views globally and over a million in the UK.
1:40.4	Just people who were really interested in finding out, what is the evidence now say?
1:45.7	Because we're two years in pretty much. So that took place in July and I thought we would have
1:51.2	a window of opportunity where the madness would stop, but it's only escalated more.
1:57.1	You know, it's got crazier. Times have got crazier since that lockdown summit.
2:02.2	In many ways, it was a breath of fresh air that it wasn't too crazy at that point, but it didn't
