DonkDown 3.0

Don't Get Shut Out:

This one is sure to hit @AsianSpa in the face: Sam Chauhan claims he is still working with poker players and he has never left, depsite his twitter account being dormant since 2011. Sam says he will come BACK on DonkDown radio in 2 weeks time to announce a huge new whathaveyou.

Posting this interview with Eden Neville sans the rest of the show. Totally having Eden Neville back on the show and take callers and all the fun stuff. Sorry for technical failure. It's only been 7 years, and we just went all digital in 2012.

Today my special guest was Adam Junglen who joined me for a debate about Choice Center Las Vegas, the subject of a recent polarizing DonkDown article. A very respectful debate ensued about Choice Center Las Vegas and Large Group Awareness Training, or LGATs in general. A disgruntled Choice student also joined the program to talk about her negative experience, and Crazy Mike joined in as well to talk about his positive and negative Choice Center experience. I personally still hold out that Choice Center is potentially damaging to those that attend it, and anyone who attended it now has a warped view and has been the subject of brainwashing. Certainly an interesting show -->

"I'm getting too old for this shit" -Danny Glover as Roger Murtaugh "They should have never gave you niggas money" -Dave Chappelle as Rick James "Thoughts are your steering wheel of your life. You can either hit the wall or go forward" -Sam Chauhan, former "Mindset Coach" Recently I saw Daniel Negreanu talking about a "Leadership University" on this Sweedish youtube, and then I listened to a wicked chops podcast [24:10] where he talks about Choice Center Las Vegas. Because Daniel is a very rich and has also slept with Amanda Leatherman, I figure I should google this place and see what it's all about, see if it can help me step my game up to boss baller status. I remember a few years ago Sam Chauhan got everyone's mindset on point, and now he is helping... wait.. where is he again? Doesn't matter. We're talking about Choice Center Las Vegas today, a much more expensive coaching product than Sam Chuahan ever offered. Turns out Choice Center Las Vegas wasn't for me. For starters, Choice Center Las Vegas is BBB rated F which usually means it's a scam of some sort. IMO it's pretty much a poor-man's Scientology. Daniel is Tom Cruise and Antonio is John Travolta. [Micon's note: I'm not insinuating that Antonio is the gay masseur-handjob one, just that he is #2 in the pecking order] ChoiceCenter Las Vegas, found at choicecenter.com was founded by a woman named Robyn Williams. Interested to know more about Robyn Williams and her Choice Center Las Vegas program? Let's watch her speak for almost a 1/2 hour about absolutely nothing: Upon further examination of Robyn's qualifications from the choicecenter.com website we find she is a "professionally trained Master Facilitator and a Master Coach who specializes in Leadership and Business development." For those of you paying attention, that means she holds no traditional counseling degree or certification of any sort. That is a made up title. Descriptors like "facilitator" are mentioned in this 1995 Large Group Awareness Training (LGAT) work by Dr. Margaret Singer. I will be referring to this excerpt again and again in this because of how accurate it is about Choice Center Las Vegas and LGATs in general, having been written in 1995. "Leadership University" is not a real thing either. If you read on, you will read words of very little substance when it comes to qualification, but you will learn that pro athletes and business executives love this program and that Robyn Williams is very charity-minded. Rumor has it she's trying to scoop that Michael Phelps. Now he's a national treasure, 22 medal-winning Olympian and famous weed smoker. I don't know the man, but he is clearly someone to protect from this bullshit. Here is an article about Antonio Esfandiari after winning the $1M lolament. He thanked 2 people after the $18M win - his father and Robyn Williams, his life coach. Antonio is a member of LV120 and DN is LV127, so it can be assumed that "The Magician" made DN appear on the Choice Center Las Vegas scene. Remember the class is going to cost you $2,600 to start, and goes waaaaay up from there, some paying as much as $1M to achieve the highest levels. Of course many of the stories have to do with Charity. Robyn is charitable, Choice Center is charitable, and neither are afraid to tell you about it. Charity has long been used by cults, religions, and scams because it acts simultaneously as recruitment and public relation tool. Whenever a person or organization brags about charity or uses it in a marketing capacity, I am immediately suspect. As a student of marketing, I can't help but post this picture of how the home page of choicecenter.com looks to me: Anything akin to a "Personality Test" or trying to raise my "EQ or Emotional Quotient" (the supposed brother of IQ, or Intelligence Quotient. Lulz) that involves "breaking you down and re-building you" is usually an LGAT, or Large-Group Awareness Training.

It's all in the hips:
