  • Shawn is growing his character

    This is a new review, Shawn has changed so much since my last one, it’s amazing seeing how loving and caring he is now, putting people above himself this used to be my navy seal fix I love those stories, but now Shawn is just killing it, though I will add these are some of the darkest subjects I’ve listened to recently, but if somebody is going to make a difference I believe it’s Shawn.

  • My new favourite podcast

    Sean, I just wanted to say thank you for all the work you put into this podcast. The variety of guests and subjects you bring on is incredibly interesting, but what really stands out is the way you ask honest, relatable questions that so many of us are already thinking. You have a way of making conversations feel genuine and human instead of forced or scripted, and that’s rare today.

    As a fellow new Christian, I also want to encourage you in your walk with God. It’s inspiring to see someone open... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#315 Sadhguru - Stop Letting Your Mind DESTROY You
Q: What does it mean to be in the moment?
Being in the moment means not being anchored only to past or future thoughts but engaging with the current experience while recognizing the mind's tendency to roam; the guest argues for a broader awareness that includes attention to surroundings and internal processes.
#306 Bryce Crawford - Gen Z Evangelist on the Vices Destroying Your Life
Q: What was the turning point that led you to faith?
A combination of depression, near-suicide, and a personal encounter with Jesus after praying and reading scripture, which culminated in surrender and a renewed sense of purpose.
#304 Chris Bayless - 30 Years Undercover Inside America's Most Violent Gangs
Q: What was the core strategy when you first approached bikers like the Outlaws or Hell's Angels?
Start with establishing credibility and a non-threatening presence, then use informants and surveillance to build probable cause for searches and arrests, gradually layering evidence to support RICO charges rather than rushing to patch-in.
#295 Samuel Reineberg - First-Hand Account of the Old Dominion Terrorist Attack
Q: What class is this ROTC senior military science class?
It's the senior ROTC military science class taught by Colonel Shaw, focusing on combatant command briefs and transportation/logistics topics.
#240 Dr. David Fajgenbaum - Can AI Find Cures to Rare Diseases Using Existing Medicine?
Q: What roadblocks exist in the current medical establishment to drug repurposing, and how can individuals push for these changes?
The main barrier is profitability: most existing drugs are generic, so there's little financial incentive to repurpose them. The solution lies in a combination of philanthropy, government funding, and innovative models (like ARPA-H partnerships) to subsidize and de-risk repurposing efforts and scale outcomes.
