I know what you're thinking:  'Damn, Jo Bradley, where have you been?!  I missed your podcast so much!'.  Well, thank you, but there's no need to fret.  Just like planet earth herself, we are undergoing a few birth pains over here at the Souled Out camp as we launch into the new school year!  Scheduling, producing, and promoting our content gets a little challenging as we rearrange our weekly agenda's once again to be able to make the best use of both our time and yours!    Today's episode could be considered a catch-up episode as we go over some new developments here at the studio as well as the awful violence and unrest that is just down the street from us in Kenosha.  We even feature our own footage that we shot of some of the aftermath of that unrest in part one.  Unfortunately part one of today's show has a visual lag or "dropped frame rate" as there must have been a connection issue going on at the time it was streamed.    Part two was not live-streamed, however, so you should have no problem viewing it as we dive into various topics such as: the DNC versus the RNC, Netflix's awful taste in movie covers, the CCP/USA drama along with China's flooding disaster, hurricane Laura ravaging the southern coast, recent DOJ announcements, and of course that nice asteroid headed our way -- just to name a few.    Finally, it wouldn't be a complete episode without a solutions-oriented conclusion going through how we can best survive and thrive during this intense consciousness revolution that we are all participating in whether we'd like to or not.    Thank you for joining us in this spiritual battle!  Stay safe and stay awake!

Twas a glorious episode today with the one and only, Dan (the man) Wilkens!  Dan and I met around 2005/2006 while attending UW Washington County together -- and we began to talk guitars and music and rock & roll.  That friendship quickly resulted in Dan joining my band Child On Fire ("Prolapse" at the time) as our lead guitarist.  We remained tight for years and years to follow -- jamming, playing shows, recording albums, etc.  We even lived with one another on the east side of Milwaukee at one point and had quite a blast during that time.  Life moved on from there, but then in and around 2013 Dan moved to Chicago to explore a new chapter of life and to of course become best friends with Mayor Lightfoot!  ;)  Join us as we reconnect and reminisce a bit about past experiences and what-not.  Today's topics range from musicianship, to the events unfolding in 2020, to entertainment, to UFOs/UAPs and crazy-new technologies such as Starlink and the like, and much more!  Dan is seriously one of the most chill dudes on the planet and definitely one of the most solid, stand-up fellas I know.  Thanks for checking out this episode of the Souled Out Podcast!  Enjoy!

It's not too often I'm able to get one of my very own family members to board the Souled Out Podcast space ship and navigate the stars with me. Today's episode was pretty damn cool -- having my own brother, Taylor John Schultz, join me for a ridiculous session of rants and raves. The discussion runs the gammet in terms of topics: from the FFVII Remake, to UFO/Alien disclosure, to vodka infusions, to past struggles and life lessons -- and of course the conversation wouldn't be complete without a little COVID-talk sprinkled on top! In the third session of the show we explore the mentality it takes and the focus required to live optimally and operate happily in this new paradigm. No one gets to sit this life out anymore. Having my own brother on this show was a nice breath of fresh air and it probably should have happened a long time ago. Enjoy!

As time moves forward ever quicker than before -- it becomes more and more apparent that we are now, and perhaps we have always been, in some sort of simulation.  As more and more people awaken to all of the hidden truths of the past and the present -- things just continue to get weirder and weirder.  Hypocrisy is around every corner.  Up is down.  Left is right.  A lot of people now feel like their backs are up against the wall and they have nowhere to turn to for honest truth, facts, and solutions in regard to the current dilemma we are all now dealing with.  Today's focus is more about the big picture and how to live an optimal life despite the societal fears and anxieties that we find ourselves swimming in day to day.  How does one stay disciplined during a time like this when it's so easy to give in and give up?  How do puzzle pieces such as human rights, the NDAA, human trafficking, the Chinese Communist Party, and mask mandates all fit together?  So much to cover -- as usual -- and so little time.  Thanks for joining us once again on the Souled Out Podcast!  Stay safe and stay awake!

Just like your favorite Staind song -- it's been a while!  It surely has been a few weeks since the last episode as we at the Souled Out camp simply needed a little, impromptu vacation to ease our minds a bit.  So here we are again -- fighting the good fight for today's unstoppable, consciousness revolution in the collective mind of humanity.  Today's episode focuses on the solutions more than the dilemma.  All you have to do is turn on the TV or open up Twitter to see how the fear-porn has been manipulating humanity more and more toward a concerning state of docility and acquiescence -- so much so -- that we are now choosing to fight one another over who should or shouldn't wear a mask and why and how and where and when.  *facepalm* It seems humanity's assimilation into the Borg/AI is moving along quite nicely.  But when we detach from the nonsense and move into nature -- what do we find?  We find peace and tranquility.  We recognize that we are all still one -- and that we all still have the choice to stand in our own power and effect positive change regardless of circumstance.  Hope you all enjoy this "comeback" episode as it's been a minute!  Stay safe.  Stay awake.

The fact that this episode is published and now available is proof that miracles do happen, because I just had the most ridiculous handful of technical issues in the process of editing and uploading this.  Thank God for Apple Support staff.  Anyway -- the 2020 shit show continues.  But what is this shit show?  Is this some type of global, spiritual awakening?  Today's episode is about seeing through the division tactics that are being deployed on just about everyone at this time.  From the race division agenda -- to mask-shaming agenda -- to the freedom of speech/censorship agenda.  Down is now up.  War is now peace.  Death is now life.  It's almost as if humanity is being intentionally confused and directed toward some type of global identity crisis.  Join me as we burn through some of the diversions, distractions, and illusions of our day to once again -- find the signal through the noise.  If you feel internally divided and just a touch at war with yourself lately -- you are not alone.  Thanks for the continued support!

Today's episode was quite a great time as I was joined by the one and only, RJ Styles, from the bands Single Serving Friends and TwoFifteen.  RJ is an old friend from my hometown of Hartford, Wisconsin who has much to share in regard to our spiritual journey as humans on this amazing planet at this unprecedented time in our history.  Join us as we dive deep down the rabbit hole and discuss where all of these global events are leading.  From RJ's musical background and his personal evolution to the current pandemic and its effects on our society to the global revolution in consciousness that is currently underway to the covert war between humans and reptilians -- this episode has it all!  Enjoy!

Today's episode hones in on the current revolution that we find underway all across the globe right now.  This is surely an incredible time to be alive and to bear witness to major US cities being torched and looted night after night as we collectively reel from the despicable video footage of George Floyd's death.  Today I bring awareness to some of the things going on behind the scenes however in an honest attempt to shine light on a few big-picture maneuvers taking place simultaneously--which point toward the intentional, piece-by-piece deconstruction of the US as we know it.  Could it be that the coronavirus response we all just lived through as well as these "race riots" are both just a few shallow layers of the onion of global revolution?  Will things get worse before they get better?  Who stands to gain from all of this?  Join us as we dive deep into some of the lesser known ongoings in today's mad world.  Thanks for your continued support--and sorry in advance for the anger and frustration in my voice today.  Also take note that this episode is shortened as I forgot to begin recording the official audio until the second portion of the show.  EPIC FAIL!  To get my full, emotionally charged, introductory rant -- please look for this episode on our SOULED OUT MEDIA YouTube channel.  

Welcome to the kick off of season four of the Souled Out podcast!  Today I am joined by the one and only, Ryan Hesselink, from both [the] Commuter Exit and The High Five.  Ryan is an extremely talented guitarist and composer who, I would say, specializes in the realm of guitar pedals and effects and the like.  I have been a fan of Ryan's projects for nearly twenty years as we both have performed in bands since high school and have shared many venues together across the years.  Today we reminisce and story-tell quite a bit, but we also dive real deep into things we're facing in the world today.  From the COVID nightmare to George Floyd to Trump.  Find out how music is forever the guiding light of our lives as we continue to navigate this time of enormous uncertainty.  It's been too long since I've teamed up with a special guest -- so thank you all sincerely for sticking with us through the recent lock down.  Enjoy the show!

Today's episode picks up right where the previous one left off.  Part two of Jo Bradley's personal, red-pill experience could be described as the ascent upward and out of the darkness that part one began to dive into.  These are not the finest of memories to be openly sharing with a global audience however it was my goal to be as honest and as real as I can be in describing this journey to you.  Through the fire and through the flames -- transformation takes place and brings us into more of who we were always meant to be.  Enjoy the second half of the Souled Out Podcast Season 3 Finale!  Thanks for your continued support!
