I'm back solo this week. Thanks for your patience - there was no episode last week. I'm in Houston trying to figure out the best path forward to finally cure my neck issues.

In this episode, I give a quick recap of last week’s intense discussion on ibogaine and psychedelic therapy. Feedback from that episode was 100% positive, and I want anyone struggling with addiction, depression, anxiety, or PTSD to know there is help out there. If you're stuck in a bad cycle, psychedelic therapy might be worth exploring.

I also share the latest in the "best movie ever," rap music, the feminization of American men, climate change predictions, global communism, BBC’s fiasco, my doctor visit, and much more.

Justin Jackson's back! It took us a while to put Round 2 (and ourselves, frankly) out there for this one. And some of you may be shocked to hear our stories.

In this episode, we share the toughest battle each of us have faced—the sort of challenges that remind us we all have a cross to bear in life.

Justin's a former Marine gunship pilot turned entrepreneur. He served 25 years in uniform and still misses his Cobra (they wouldn't let him keep it). He shares more this round about his time as a Marine pilot, the toll of multiple deployments, and the transition to civilian life,

Then it gets heavy. We discuss trauma, PTSD, depression, addiction, and emotional numbness.

You'll hear our life-changing experience with psychedelic therapies—specifically the role psilocybin and ibogaine have played in our roads to recovery. Our plant medicine journeys helped us to heal, to rediscover gratitude in its highest form, and ultimately reconnect with the Divine.

Justin & I have a passion for helping people, whether through candid conversations like ours, veteran advocacy, or simply pointing those in desperate need of help toward a proven cure that's given us our lives back.

If one person hears this episode and gets help, we'll consider this discussion our biggest success of 2025.

Solo again from Costa Rica. We're soaking in the beach sun,, hiking in nature a little, and overall enjoying a slower pace than what we had in Warsaw or Prague.

In this episode, I dive into the AI revolution and what investors can learn from the dot-com bubble 25 years ago. I talk about how hype and leverage repeat through history, why it’s nearly impossible to know which companies will last, and why sometimes it’s wiser to buy the whole haystack instead of trying to find the needle.

I also discuss Ferdinand Magellan, New York’s growing migrant crisis, some lie detection, and Obama’s comments on the places we've spent the past two summers.

Coming to you solo again from beautiful Costa Rica, which means "rich coast." I've had lots of time to think here, while working on my tan and watching surfers in the Pacific Ocean from our balcony.

In this episode, I talk about life, travel, and things on my mind lately—specifically the Kyren Lacy tragedy, which is a story that hits close to home—not just because one of my best represents him, but because of my own connection to the Lacy family in Louisiana. It's the sort of sad situation that reminds us of what really matters.

I also discuss market euphoria and investor greed, Buffett’s lessons on leverage and patience, the Big Tish indictment, the Nobel Peace Prize controversy, and much more.

Coming to you solo from Costa Rica this week. In this episode, I unpack the growing conversation around Christian nationalism—how the media has weaponized the term, what it reveals about global propaganda, and why nationalism itself has been wrongly vilified. I share my thoughts on how this kind of messaging shapes what people believe about faith, identity, and patriotism.

I also share a personal story about losing my wallet in Costa Rica and how it led to a conversation about money—specifically, my thoughts on the market, inflation, and investing. I even consider whether it’s time to sell some Netflix stock and shift toward Spotify, reflecting on how companies’ values & cultural direction can influence long-term investment decisions.

I also talk about the UN’s push for global AI oversight, Tesla’s record-breaking performance, the rise of Grokopedia, Trump’s Gaza peace deal, and so much more.

Coming to you solo from Houston this week. In this episode, I reflect on the Charlie Kirk memorial and the extraordinary moment when Erika forgave her husband’s assassin in front of tens of thousands. It was the most powerful display of faith I’ve seen this year, and a reminder that forgiveness—while counter to our instincts—is the only way forward for a broken country.

I also dive into the indictment of James Comey, why it matters, and what it signals about accountability finally catching up with the deep state.

I also discuss cancel culture and Big Tech censorship, the climate change “green scam,” Elon Musk quoting the Lord’s Prayer, and so much more.

Benjamin Rutledge is a Czech-American Christian with a diverse academic and professional background, which includes military service, international political economy studies, and teaching at a Czech private school.

Benji & I met a few weeks ago in Prague and became fast friends. When we met for lunch last Friday, he told me about Charlie Kirk & Iryna Zerutska's memorial in Wenceslas Square. Afterward, I posted an Instagram reel of us laying flowers there and it's been viewed over 600k times! What a worldwide outpouring of support!

This one wasn’t easy to do. Coming to you solo from Prague to discuss the biggest story in the world right now—the assassination of Charlie Kirk. I’ll never shake the video of Kirk getting shot from my memory. It was so horrific. I didn’t think for a second that was something he’d survive.

Charlie Kirk was a happy warrior who spoke truth and gave young people a reason to believe in the nuclear family, their faith, and their country.

I discuss a few other topics—Iryna Zarutska, the nature of evil communists, Thomas Sowell’s books, and other musings.

Morgan’s first time in Europe! And second on the pod—since the wife laughed so hard at the first episode (got a new listener!) there had to be a sequel. Which is never as good. But this isn’t the movies.

We talk about going to Europe at age 50. Why he waited so long. And what happened with a bathroom attendant in Prague that caught him off guard.

Then there’s Morgan’s latest obsession—timepieces. Or what you and I call “watches.” He’s thinking of passing a watch down to his son as an heirloom. And I share a story of buying a fake Rolex in Thailand

This one went long. Hope you enjoy!

Coming to you solo from Prague—my favorite city in the world. I went to Berlin last weekend and recorded an episode there with my buddy Jürgen. In this episode, I discuss "the best movie ever," raid of John Bolton’s home, and Trump's recollection of the raid on his home.

Remember when American propagandists told us Trump would start World War III? Now that he's signed six peace deals in six months, and had 70,000 Cambodian monks call for him to get a Nobel Peace Prize after helping to end fighting between Cambodia and Thailand, it makes you wonder how long we've been told the exact opposite of reality.

I also discuss investments, jobs most at risk from AI, a thoughts on marijuana legalization.
