Dale Walsh shows up grounded, honest, and allergic to shortcuts. We talk about discipline not as hustle jargon, but as a daily practice that shapes identity over time. Dale breaks down what it means to commit to your craft when nobody’s watching. How consistency builds confidence. Why most people quit right before things start to click.

The conversation moves through music, self-belief, creative doubt, and the quiet pressure. To become someone you actually respect. Dale speaks, openly about growth without ego, learning from failure. Trusting the long road instead of chasing instant validation. There’s no motivational fluff here, just real talk about effort. patience, and showing up even when it’s uncomfortable.

This episode is for anyone building something slowly and wondering if it’s worth it. Dale’s perspective reminds you that identity isn’t something you find. It’s something you earn through repetition, restraint, and honesty with yourself.

Interview with Dale Walsh

===

Dave: Especially when you try pissing off God, a few, a few more

Dale E. Walsh: Yeah,

Dave: than you need to, but, uh, what were we, what were we talking about

Dale E. Walsh: we were talking about Fred and, uh, and, and about how Fred,

Dave: Yes.

Dale E. Walsh: about how the overlord is dead and therefore, uh, my, my new motto is, uh, no Fred, no fret and everything. I, I feel that everything that's associated with death. Uh, I, I meant, I'm not saying we're, we're over. Revelations are not, are not, but basically, uh, I, everything the death stands for with the deaths of Fred is now irrelevant.

Dale E. Walsh: Say it's also about what we were just talking about, about frequency and vibration that I, I meant the frequency and the vibration of someone who dies has been moved to some different level that we can't access, and that doesn't mean that they aren't there. Or actually, or even though we can't contact them, I, I'm sure you've had dreams where people who, who you've known died, came back and talked with you and everything,

Dave: Uh, yeah.

Dale E. Walsh: but, but the frequency is really the thing that, uh, you have to concentrate on.

And I say trust in genius. And whenever I get like, uh, you know, sort of like overwhelmed or something, I say trust in genius. Because genius is Jesus on the ship. So, uh, you know, but ultimately that vibration, the vibration of Jesus has never lo, left the earth. And that that vibration is getting stronger now.

You know, just by my presence, life is getting better because of the vibration that I exude into the world. And the more people raise their vibration, the better the world's going to be. And, uh, you that, that's a saying. I, I meant, uh, I, um, I'm a big follower of Sidney Banks who's, uh, this, uh. Guy who came up with this idea called the three principles, which is mind, consciousness, and thought.

But as soon as that one thought hits your head, your life will be changed forever. And that's basically, that's basically what happened to me when I had my, I'm God thought. It changed my life forever and uh, I'm happy it did.

Dale E. Walsh: Right.

Dave: your value is.

Dale E. Walsh: Exactly. And, uh, that, that that's very true. And you know, it's a progression because the higher you raise your vibration and the higher your awareness gets, the less people you're going to be able to relate to. Just because, you know, higher consciousness is higher consciousness and you know, most people.

Dale E. Walsh: Right.

Dave: there, there's a process to how everything works, and it's just because you had trauma or you've dealt with this inner part of yourself, it doesn't make you worse of an individual. Those are. Tools and things that you can use to better yourself and better your own life, not just for yourself, but also for the people that you surround yourself with. Can you imagine spending your whole life surrounded by toxic people? I don't know about you, but that sounds miserable.

I, I meant. Ju ju just, I meant that, that that transformation is like unbelievable. I, I meant you can't conceive of, of, of what it is, but just like how, how much change and pain even the larva has to go through and then to get outta the cocoon to be able to like have wings strong enough to fly. I, I meant the whole process.

But now he's taken me out to the nest and I'm flying. I'm, I don't know whether I'm a duck, a eagle, or a butterfly, but, uh. Right, or a pelican, but I'm outta the nest and that's really where he's always wanted me to be. But it took me 50 years of self-development before I felt ready to be, go back to being the dale that I always wanted to be.

Dale E. Walsh: Right. Well, that's, um, you know, that, that's, um, that's a sad fact about reality and it is true. But, uh, motto of my con, uh, a live love is that recovery is always an option. And the, the key word in that is option because everybody per every person has the option to become self-aware and to, and better themselves.

And, you know, it can be even more difficult with mental illness. I, I, have you ever heard the, uh, term Agne Signia?

Dave: No.

Being unable to comprehend there's something wrong with your brain. So it's not denial. It is, it is not. It is not as if you're saying There's nothing wrong with me. It that you're saying that, but it's a coming from a completely different point of view because you just can, it is like the analogy I use is hold a book up to a blind person and try to have 'em read that book.

And you know, I was living. So we're like, you know, I will like thank myself into a God, into a God mindset and everything. But then when that explosion happened, it not only incinerated everything that Dale was except his body, but also ended the dilution. And so that for the first time, I could really see how crazy and how sick I had been for the previous 10 years saying I was God.

Dale E. Walsh: Getting, getting back to the coach. You know, who I mentioned about, uh, who's like, made herself a professional bodybuilder at 44 and everything.

Dave: which

Dale E. Walsh: You know, she, she, she's, I, I mean, she's a very successful coach and I, I, I worked with her and everything. But it's taken her, I've known, I've probably known her for probably about six, seven years, but it's only now that she's realizing that all the coaching experience, all, everything she's learned about coaching, she still needs therapy because coach, and that's why I say I'm a mentor instead of a, uh, coach because I feel I'm, I'm coming from lived experience.

And, um, so, uh, but ultimately everybody has to look at their own mental health with. Uh, I, I guess with discernment and, you know, but to have that discernment takes a lot of work and a lot of people just aren't willing to do the work.

Dave: No,

Dale E. Walsh: Yeah.

Dale E. Walsh: All right.

Dave: just, you're crippling yourself, right?

Dale E. Walsh: Well, I, um, so I, I put this in terms of external judgment versus internal acceptance. And if you, if you're, if you're living for external judgment, then you're always going to be dependent on other people's opinion. But if you work on internal. Acceptance then that love that you're looking for from other people and even from God and everything you'll find within because, because God is within is without.

And, um, therefore, if you're looking for external. Approval you'll never find the internal acceptance that, uh, you need to be happy.

Dale E. Walsh: And, um, j just in, in a personal way. That's why I've been in Atkins Act for 50 years because it, it gave me a home that I never, that I lost. I, I, I, I lived in Abilene till I was 10. Then I went to New York City, then New Hampshire, then Dartmouth,

Dave: Oh, new

Dale E. Walsh: for, for, for my adolescents, for my 10 to 20 years, I basically had no home.

Would I be in the White House? Would I be, you know, would I be, you know, like with 20 houses in different, in different locations, or, you know, whatever, whatever happened. You know, my, my, my final conclusion is always. Well, I would've ended up in Hackensack because this is where I'm happy.

Dale E. Walsh: Correct.

Dave: that's my home. you know, we get stuck up and, and we talked about this before until the whole storm shut us down. I think he's listening. Please be careful begging you. we're, we become so materialistic as people. So materialistic.

Dale E. Walsh: Right,

Dave: Right? Not happening.

Dale E. Walsh: Well, that's, um, yeah, that's, uh, so I, I, I've just, you know, I, I've imagined basically every scenario possible and, uh. My, my, my feeling is I've got my home and I've got my, my, my, my myself is integrated into my environment. And that's really what everybody should want to do. And, and, uh, ultimately, you know, you can't, you can't always like know where to go or where to be in everything, but.

Half gallon of milk, uh, yesterday, you know, so I, so I can have milk with my Cheerios. So, but what, when I figured out yes, what the revelation I had yesterday was I'll need money. I meant, I, I just went to the park. I sat in a park. It was like a gorgeous day, 85 degrees, blue sky clouds, you know, people would say hello, and I, I, I just like felt myself content sitting without money in it.

I don't have money. It's not necessary because the inner satisfaction I have with the beauty of life is so much more overwhelming than anything that, uh. You know, like a hundred dollars could buy that I could use.

Dale E. Walsh: Right.

Dave: Can't use money to do that. You can't buy your way to get there. Point that.

He called my, uh, illness psychotic bliss. And I always said, how can bliss be psychotic? And the answer was, because I would get, I would get on such a high vibration, you know, a blissful vibration just naturally that everybody else in the program would get freaked out. They couldn't, they couldn't understand you.

They, they couldn't understand. And therefore I'd be put in the hospital because he couldn't put the whole program in the hospital. So I was like the, uh, the lich pen that was like causing the problems. So,

Dave: Oh.

I'm meant I very rare. In fact, the last six times I went to the hospital I was in, I was in the pro. When I was in the program, I was in the hospital nine times. Last ti six times I went to the hospital. I put myself in the hospital because I knew I was psychotic.

Dave: You sometimes have to get to that place. You know, sometimes where you realize that you can't always handle everything on your own two shoulders, sometimes you have to be able to reach out and get the help that you need,

Dale E. Walsh: Right,

Dave: you a bad person or a crazy person. means that like we, we said this before we got cut off. We're human beings. We all come with different things in our life. It doesn't make you less of an of a person just because you have to deal with a heavier package. But if there's help and if you, you need that, that's what it's there for. know,

Dale E. Walsh: right.

Dale E. Walsh: Right.

Dave: Yeah. Um, one thing that I did want to touch on Dale, 'cause we didn't, we, we talked about this a little bit before. I know that you have a coaching or mentorship program that you do, uh, which is live. Is it Love Live

Dale E. Walsh: Live love. Live love.

Dave: And uh, you recently also started doing a podcast, which I think is amazing.

Congrats. Um, tell me a little bit about like your coaching program, also your podcasting. Um, where can these people like find your work if they wanted to reach out?

Uh, and. We go through the live love letters. That, that, that, that's the process. Uh, learn, integrate, validate, explore, listen, open value and express. So, and, and then we have like a, a summary, uh, issue at the, you know, summary session at the end. So that's nine sessions over three months. And then, uh, we haven't mentioned this, but.

Uh, so if people wanna like, check out my poetry, go to Amazon, put in d Poetry by D Walsh, and they should come. They, they aren't like big sellers, so you might have to like scroll through and find them.

Dave: I'll, I'll, I'll put a link in the description for this episode. Just make it a little bit easier for people to find your poetry and your work,

Dale E. Walsh: Right.

Two are the flight of D, which is my spaceship. And that's a, uh, apocalyptic romance in the shadow of the 20th century Cold War. So, uh, that's, uh, that, that's my novel and I'm basically, uh, trying to figure out how to get that circulated as a way of like getting my name as a literary figure. None.

Dave: I love it. Your podcast or you currently
