Ok i lied earlier. This is the LAST last episode of 2020. On this episode, I talk with Jonny Wesolowski, who is a team member at Jordan Brand. He's also a former pastor. Jonny and I connected via Instagram and obv I wanted to get him on to talk about the brand we all know and love. He's a real interesting guy and I think you'll enjoy it!

Today's episode features mega rocker, John L. Cooper from the metal band Skillet.

John Cooper is the lead vocalist, bassist and songwriter/producer for Skillet, one of the best-selling rock bands of the 21st century. The two-time GRAMMY® Award-nominated 12x platinum band was recently invited into Pandora’s Billionaire club after garnering 2 billion streams, received a pair of GRAMMY® Award nods, sold over 12 million albums worldwide, taken home a Billboard Music Award and more. Their breakout single “Monster” remains “one of the most-streamed rock songs of all-time” with 285 million global audio streams. Between selling out arenas on four continents, Cooper has found time to launch his own Cooper Stuff Podcast, a beard care line with Hawk & Hatchett, and has a new book coming out Dec 4th called Awake & Alive to Truth.  He also wrote a viral post called "Make pastors uncool again" which is what drove some of our discussion. Check that post out here.

Today's episode features two Hollywood writers, producers and actors, Luke Barnett and Tanner Thomason. They just released a massive film called Faith Ba$ed , a story about two dudes who try to strike it rich by making a cheesy Christian film. It's a hilarious commentary on the Christian film industry and I think you will enjoy not only the movie, but also the interview. Listen!

Nate Buzolic is an Australian actor and activist who's known for his roles in The Vampire Diaries, The Originals, Hacksaw Ridge and most recently Deep Blue Sea 3. He's also a very outspoken Christian with 2.4 Million followers on Instagram. Nate was kind enough to stop and talk about his faith, his career and his travels around the world. I hope everyone enjoys his smooth Australian accent and gets reignited in their faith through his passion for Jesus.

Marty Santiago is one part of the duo, Social Club Misfits. I've been a big fan of his for years now and was stoked to be able to get him on the pod. We got to talk about his faith, his journey to hip hop performance/production and hear some stories about some of the perks of performing with mega church pastors.

It's a rare insight into a world that most of us don't get to experience, so I think you'll love it!
