July 14, 2025 Camp Mystic: Texas Flood Survivors’ mom, Aimee Key tells their story
When record-breaking floods swept through Camp Mystic in Hunt, Texas, it wasn’t just a natural disaster — it was a spiritual and emotional reckoning. In this raw and powerful conversation, Aimee Key, a mother of two campers caught in the middle of the chaos, shares the truth behind the headlines — and the quiet courage it took to get through it.

July 11, 2025 U.S. AC Crisis No One's Talking About: The backstory from Jorge Alvarez, iGasUSA
What if the next thing to break… was your air conditioning—and no one could fix it?
In this urgent and eye-opening episode, Shawn sits down with Jorge Alvarez, VP of Sales for IGAs and a key voice in the HVAC industry, to expose a looming nationwide crisis already affecting millions of Americans. This is not clickbait. It’s already happening.
*Topics covered:*
-The massive refrigerant shortage hitting HVAC systems across the U.S.
-Why Biden-era EPA rules may have created a $25 billion inflation bomb for consumers
-How small HVAC contractors are being cornered, blamed, and crushed by the system
-Why you may be paying 600% more for AC repairs—or worse, left with no cooling at all
-What’s behind the sudden switch to flammable gases like R-454B
-Who profits (spoiler: it’s not you), and why the U.S. is the only country accelerating this timeline
Jorge also explains how to take action now to help reverse the mandate, with a live petition to rollback the rushed EPA rule and return to a gradual global standard supported by 200+ countries.
*Why It Matters:*
-50–70% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck—a $10K AC repair isn’t survivable.
-This is a nonpartisan problem with dangerous consequences.
-It affects every homeowner, business, school, nursing home, and child in America—especially in the South.
-And no one’s talking about it—until now.
