Dr. Chase Spears welcomes Dr. Rick Addante—former NASA scientist, astronaut finalist, tenured professor, and whistleblower fired from Florida Tech after exposing the university president’s plan to secretly continue DEI programs despite state bans.

Rick shares his journey from rough Chicago roots to groundbreaking neuroscience, starting a classical Christian farm school, refusing the Covid vaccine, and now fighting back in court. A raw conversation on moral courage, the cost of truth, and why fathers must model integrity for the next generation.
