DML sits down with Dr. Joseph Ladapo, Florida’s Surgeon General, Harvard-trained physician, and author of Transcend Fear: A Blueprint for Mindful Leadership in Public Health. In this focused and eye-opening interview, Dr. Ladapo breaks down the failures of fear-based public health, why lockdowns and mandates caused more harm than good, and how leaders lost their way during COVID-19. He explains why freedom, transparency, and clear thinking—not political pressure—must guide American health policy going forward. The discussion also covers his latest statement on the MAHA era under Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the need for personal responsibility, and how removing fear and stress empowers people to reclaim their health and their freedom. BOOK: Transcend FearX Account: @FLSurgeonGen
