In this episode, Tina and Kevin welcome a fascinating guest—John Allen. A former Navy Seal turned YouTube sensation, Mr. Ballen (as he’s known online) has made a name for himself as the internet’s favorite storyteller. If you’re a fan of the strange, dark, and mysterious, he’s got you covered. Tina and Kevin ask him every burning question they’ve had since discovering him over quarantine, and are instantly enthralled with not only his masterful storytelling abilities, but John’s life story itself. John discusses his upbringing in Massachusetts, how he changed his mind and his path at 19, and the seemingly innocuous moment that launched his rapidly growing career today. John’s attitude towards life is inspiring and motivating no matter where you’re from or who you are. If we were fans before, we’re super fans now!
