The Army of Great Men

What are Albertans actually voting on, and what would happen if the province eventually pursued independence?

Constitutional lawyer Keith Wilson and Tanya Clements join Adam to break down some of the biggest questions surrounding Alberta separation, including the referendum process, Canadian citizenship, pensions, trade, and what independence could mean for Alberta's future.

With plenty of conflicting information circulating, this conversation takes a closer look at the legal questions, common misconceptions, and arguments shaping the debate.

Episode 48

Brian was an atheist for more than a decade. Then he decided to try an experiment: for 30 days, he would live as if he believed in God.

Brian joins Adam to talk about what happened next — going to church, praying, questioning his own skepticism, and experiencing changes he didn’t expect. What started as pretending gradually became something much harder for him to explain away.

This is a conversation about faith, doubt, belief, and what can happen when you genuinely test your own assumptions.

Episode 47

Kevin Preston joins Adam for a conversation about health, Chinese medicine, community, and something modern life seems to be making harder to find: real human connection.

They get into what Kevin has learned from years of working with patients, why simply listening can matter, and the strange contradiction of living in a world where technology keeps us constantly connected while so many people are looking for something deeper.

From medicine and wellness to AI, smartphones, community and the need to get together in person, this one goes well beyond physical health.

Episode 46

Why do some relationships thrive while others slowly fall apart?

Adam sits down with relationship coach Ana Christian to talk about attachment styles, emotional availability, conflict, trust, and the habits that shape healthy relationships. Whether you're dating, married, or simply trying to become a better partner, this conversation is full of practical insights you can apply immediately.

Episode 45

Keith Wilson returns to break down one of the biggest questions in Canadian politics right now: can Alberta actually leave Canada?

This conversation responds directly to the critics, the snark, and the social media takes — and gets into the real constitutional and legal questions around Alberta separation, sovereignty, and what would actually have to happen for it to become possible.

Episode 44

Two Afghanistan veterans sit down with Adam for an honest conversation about masculinity, sacrifice, leadership, brotherhood, and what military service teaches you about being a man.

Not a culture war debate — a real conversation about responsibility, purpose, and the kind of strength modern life often forgets.

Episode 43

A recent shooting in British Columbia kickstarted reaction across both the left and the right.

Instead of reacting from a side, Adam sits down with Scott Newgent to talk through what actually happens when tragedy collides with identity, politics, and media incentives.

Scott has been criticized by both conservatives and progressives for refusing to fully align with either camp. In this conversation, they talk about medicalization, mental health, cultural incentives, and why it’s become so difficult to have honest discussions without being pulled into a tribe.

This isn’t about attacking a group or defending one. It’s about asking whether we’re still capable of having uncomfortable conversations without turning them into political weapons.

If we can’t talk honestly, we can’t solve anything.

Episode 42

On this episode, Adam chats with Tanner Hnidey -an independent economist with the Alberta Prosperity Project - for a deep dive into answering the question of exactly what equalization payments are, how they work and what it all means for Alberta. From the history of the country back in 1867 to the modern problems facing Alberta, how Quebec fits into all of it and what exactly defines need in the program, this episode is a great primer on how it all hangs together. 

On this episode, Adam invites constitutional lawyer Keith Wilson and Tanya Clemens from the Alberta Prosperity Project to break down what would actually happen if Alberta separated from Canada. From pension plans and oil & gas to refining, regulation, and governance, they explore the legal and practical realities behind separation — and what the outcome could look like in the real world. Dive in to learn more. 

Did we bungle our approach to COVID?

In this episode, Adam sits down with Dr. Blaine Achen, a cardiac anesthesiologist at the University of Alberta, for a candid conversation about how we handled the pandemic — and what we might do differently in hindsight.

They discuss public health decision-making, vaccine mandates, professional dissent, and the broader social consequences of how COVID was debated and managed, with an emphasis on honest, open discourse rather than easy answers.
