The Scary Guy Podcast

The Scary Guy's sole mission is “The Total Elimination of Hate, Violence and Prejudice Worldwide.” 

These were the first words that Scary spoke when he began his mission in 1998. Since that day, Scary has worked with millions of people through Television, film, radio, social media and live shows around the world promoting peace through the teaching of Love and Acceptance of all people. His audience consists of both youth and adults on an individual, community and society level, unaware of how they are using negative energy to meet their needs.

Scary’s work identifies an enormous cultural and educational void in the upbringing of the World’s children. For years, nations have experienced the relentless growth of “The World’s Number One Social Disease; Hate, Violence, and Prejudice,” which Scary describes as an insidious disease, polarizing our youth and societies and precluding us from achieving the true potential of our common humanity.

The Scary Guy is a unique entity! He is a real force the “Live” person that a sizeable and growing segment of our youth today hunger for – someone to provide them with believable guidance in this current era of social polarization, brought on by hate, prejudice and spiraling “non-responsibility-accepting, no-accountability” conduct. His presence shocks people into an awed state of attention. His message is then delivered to a rapt and receptive audience.

For the first time, this message is being delivered in a dedicated podcast

WHAT DOES HE DO?

The Scary Guy is an expert in determining the root causes of emotional experiences that manifest themselves throughout communication on an individual, group, and global scale.

He is unique in his capacity to reach audiences of all ages and backgrounds and his innovative programs are tailored for all age and education levels.
