In this episode of Digital Social Hour, Sean sits down with Declan, the GHL Wizard, for a deep, practical conversation on how AI is actually being used to scale businesses right now—not in theory, but in the real world.

Declan breaks down how AI data centers are driving costs down, why tools like HighLevel are giving local businesses a massive unfair advantage, and how AI agents are already outperforming traditional customer support, sales, and follow-up systems. They also zoom out into mindset, execution, work ethic, anxiety, dopamine culture, and why most people consume information but never take action.

From AI agents replacing repetitive work, to why thinking isn’t the same as thoughts, to why execution always beats strategy—this episode connects technology, psychology, and entrepreneurship in a way most conversations never do.

In this episode, Sean sits down with Dr. Ben and Dr. Shawn Javid from Smilebody to break down the real mouth-body connection — and why “oral health” is bigger than just brushing and flossing.

They explain what biological dentistry actually means (most people have no clue), why they focus on root cause instead of symptoms, and how hidden issues like root canal infections, cavitations (NOT cavities), and toxic materials can quietly impact your energy, inflammation, sleep, skin, and more.

You’ll hear why Smilebody built a first-of-its-kind facility combining biological dentistry + functional medicine + biohacking therapies under one roof — including hyperbarics, red light, IV therapy, and advanced imaging. They also cover the right way to handle mercury fillings (and why rushing to remove them can make things worse), plus the truth about modern “white fillings” and microplastic concerns.

If you’ve been dealing with chronic symptoms you can’t solve — this conversation will change how you think about your mouth.

🦷 What biological dentistry really is (and what makes it different)

🔎 How hidden infections can show up with no pain

🕳️ Why cavitations are not the same as cavities

⚠️ The truth about root canals as a long-term solution

Skateboarding legend Paul Rodriguez joins the show in Los Angeles to talk about the real business behind pro skating — and why the culture has evolved faster than ever in the social media era.

Paul breaks down the 20-year Nike SB “POD” retro release, including the wild behind-the-scenes process of Nike having to reverse engineer the shoe because the original molds were gone. From there, he gets honest about how skaters actually make a living (hint: it’s not contest prize money), why skateboarding is still a sport-art hybrid, and why judging will always be complicated — even with AI.

He also dives into the mental side: resilience, burnout, mastery, and the obsession it takes to stay relevant for decades. Plus: a fun boxing detour with Canelo vs. Crawford and why “exhibition fights” keep disappointing.

In this powerful conversation from AmFest, Sean sits down with Dale from The Midnight for an unfiltered discussion about politics, power, social media, and the issue that matters most: humanity.

The episode moves quickly from culture and immigration to election integrity, censorship, and the growing influence of ideology in the West. The Midnight shares his unapologetic views on why so many people feel the system is failing — and why speaking honestly now matters more than ever.

But the most impactful moment comes when he opens up about a tragedy that changed his life forever: reaching out to a young girl online who was asking for help, only to learn she had already taken her own life. From that moment on, he made a promise to actively fight bullying and protect vulnerable kids online.

He explains how bullying has become a 24/7 epidemic fueled by social media, why kids can’t escape it anymore, and how responding with compassion — even to hate — has shaped his platform and his mission.

In this unfiltered, high-level conversation, DeVory Darkins sits down to break down the real forces shaping America today — from military service and endless wars to political corruption, media narratives, and the silent influence of algorithms on an entire generation.

This one gets HEATED.

At AmFest, Sean sits down with Hannah Faulkner for a rapid-fire conversation that hits the biggest culture-war flashpoints people are arguing about right now—child medical policy, free speech, online propaganda, education, and the pressure cooker that’s shaping Gen Z politics.

They talk about:

⚪Why the country feels like it’s in an information war

⚪The fight over banning medical procedures on minors and how legislation is being framed (including the Protect Children’s Innocence Act)

⚪Whether foreign influence + bot activity is distorting what Americans think they’re seeing online

⚪The breakdown of civil dialogue—and why “comments sections” aren’t real life

⚪Why school, debt, and delayed adulthood are creating a pressure trap for young people

This isn’t a safe, polished conversation. It’s raw, direct, and exactly the kind of debate people either love… or can’t stand.

From AmFest, Sean sits down with returning guest Carlos Reyes for one of the most emotional and controversial conversations from the floor.

Carlos opens up about his journey from being brought into the U.S. illegally to earning citizenship after 16 years, why he supported Trump early, and why he now says he’s disappointed with the administration and the state of the movement.

The heart of this episode is Charlie Kirk: Carlos argues Charlie wasn’t just a loud voice — he was a leader and a movement, and that’s exactly what made him a threat. He also shares the viral story of why he walked out of his church when they refused to honor Charlie — a moment that exploded online with millions of views.

They also touch on broken promises, transparency, big donors, internal infighting, and Carlos’ view on a path to legalization for long-term immigrants who’ve paid taxes and stayed out of trouble.
