The Jimmy Rex Show

Recorded live at Expert Networking Night, Jimmy sits down with Dr. Nick Howland to discuss his new memoir, The Atheist’s Prayer: A Memoir of Gratitude. Nick shares his story of growing up in the LDS faith, serving a mission, being excommunicated twice, losing his identity, and ultimately walking away from belief altogether.

What followed was years of anger, depression, shame, and a deep search for meaning that eventually led him back to something unexpected: self-love.

This conversation isn’t about attacking religion or defending atheism. It’s about what happens when the systems you relied on to define your worth fall apart, and you’re forced to rebuild from the ground up.

Nick talks openly about divorce, suicidal thoughts, depression, therapy, men’s work, brotherhood, and the daily practices that helped him learn how to keep promises to himself.

They discuss why self-love can’t be outsourced to religion, relationships, or self-help, how integrity is built one decision at a time, and why healing requires honesty, support, and personal responsibility. This is a raw, vulnerable conversation about shame, growth, and becoming someone you respect.

In this solo episode, Jimmy breaks down the Top 10 books men need to read this year if you want to level up your discipline, relationships, leadership, and inner life. The problem today isn’t a lack of information. It’s too much noise. Podcasts, videos, summaries, and endless content can make you feel productive without actually changing anything.

Jimmy explains why reading fewer books and putting what you learn into practice will move the needle faster than consuming everything. These are the books that have had the biggest impact on Jimmy’s life as a man, and the ones he gives away and recommends most often. Books covered:

1. The Way of the Superior Man — David Deida
2. The Masculine in Relationship — GS Youngblood
3. Be One — Jimmy Rex
4. No More Mr. Nice Guy — Dr. Robert Glover
5. Extreme Ownership — Jocko Willink
6. The Art of Exceptional Living — Jim Rohn
7. Lead the Field — Earl Nightingale
8. Can’t Hurt Me — David Goggins
9. Wild at Heart — John Eldredge
10. Men’s Work — Connor Beaton

Bonus: The Atheist Prayer — Nicholas Holland

Pick one book at a time. Read daily. Implement what you learn. That’s how real change happens.

Kat Braden built a massive online audience the hard way: consistency, work ethic, and a willingness to look cringe early.

In this episode, we talk about how she went all-in on content (4 to 6 posts a day), what her real process looks like behind a 45-second video, why chasing views can burn you out, and how she’s shifting toward creating content that actually adds value.

We also get into boundaries, real-life connection vs social media, and how to use AI without letting it kill your creativity.

In this episode, I sit down with one of the most-watched independent voices in America for a wide-ranging conversation about the chaos and confusion many people feel right now. We talk about Minnesota unrest and immigration enforcement, why so many Americans feel politically homeless, and what it looks like when trust in institutions collapses. We also get into foreign policy, censorship, “unaskable” topics, and why preparedness matters more than ever, financially, physically, and spiritually. This is a raw conversation about where the country is headed, why people feel like the system isn’t accountable, and what a normal person can actually do to protect their family and future.

It’s 2026, and it feels like we’re living through the most chaotic stretch of history in real time...

Today I sat down with one of my oldest friends, Eric Moutsos. We’ve known each other since we were kids. Same neighborhood. Same church. Same trouble. Now he’s become one of the loudest voices online, calling out corruption, propaganda, and the systems he believes are controlling far more than people realize. Eric is the founder of Freedom Blends, and his content has exploded because he says the things most people won’t. We talk about what changed for both of us after COVID, why so many Americans feel like they’re grieving the country they thought they lived in, how media narratives are built, and why more people are waking up right now than ever before.

We also talk about fear, censorship, cancel culture, the spiritual element of truth, and why “getting your house in order” matters if you’re going to look at the world clearly. If you’re trying to make sense of what’s happening, this is an important conversation.

Today’s episode is directed specifically at young men ages 18–30, and it covers one of the most destructive and overlooked addictions right now: sports gambling...

With betting apps, prop bets, and “risk-free” offers everywhere, gambling has become a casino in your pocket. In this solo episode, Jimmy breaks down why sports gambling is uniquely dangerous for young men, how it rewires dopamine, why most gamblers lose long-term, and how this addiction quietly destroys finances, focus, relationships, and mental health.

Jimmy shares real stories, real numbers, and personal experiences to explain why this vice is being normalized, how it traps people into chasing losses, and why it has one of the highest relapse and suicide rates of any addiction.

This episode isn’t about judgment. It’s about protecting your future, building discipline, and choosing long-term freedom over short-term dopamine. If you’re a young man, or you know one who’s caught in this cycle, this episode is worth listening to and sharing.

Stefanos Sifandos is a close friend of mine, one of my personal coaches, and the author of the book Tuned In and Turned On. I had the chance to read it before it was released and finished it in less than 48 hours. It felt like he was speaking directly to me the entire time. In this episode, we talk about what it really means to be “tuned in” in your relationship, why so many men unknowingly disconnect through busyness and achievement, and how that disconnection slowly erodes intimacy.

Stefanos breaks down how childhood conditioning, shame, and unprocessed pain show up in adult relationships and what men can do differently starting today. 

We also cover masculine and feminine dynamics, how safety creates attraction, why presence matters more than productivity at home, and the simple daily practices that help men reconnect without losing their edge.

This episode is for married men, men in serious relationships, and anyone who wants deeper connection and fulfillment.

Every year between Christmas and New Year’s, Jimmy takes a couple of hours to slow down, review the year he just lived, and intentionally design the year ahead. In this episode, Jimmy shares the full audio from his annual 2-hour goal-setting session. This is the exact process he has personally used for over 15 years to gain clarity, set direction, and build his life by design.

Over 200,000 people have gone through this training over the years, and the reason is simple. Most people spend more time planning a vacation than they do planning their year. This session is about fixing that. You’ll walk through how to review the past year honestly, identify what actually mattered, clarify what you want your next year to be about, and start building a plan that aligns with the life you want, not just goals on paper.

If you want to watch the full video version of this session or learn more, visit: jimmyrexgoals.com 

There is also a goal-setting guidebook for this session to help you work through the exercises as you listen. Jimmy also shares why accountability matters and announces that We Are The They Tribe, his men’s group focused on brotherhood, accountability, and real follow-through, is now open again.

Jayson Edwards is the founder of J-Dawgs, one of Utah’s most iconic food brands. He started it as a BYU student with $600 from pawning his guitar to his dad, running a tiny shack near campus that somehow turned hot dogs into a full-blown movement. In this conversation, Jayson breaks down what actually made J-Dawgs explode early, the painful lessons that come with scaling a food business, and why focus, quality, and community matter more than hype. In this episode, we talk about:

• Starting J-Dawgs with $600 and no clue what he was doing
• How the “shack” created crazy demand before social media
• Why he stayed narrow instead of expanding into everything
• Supply chain chaos, owning the IP, and protecting quality
• What COVID was really like as a food business owner
• Hiring, culture, and the weight of 300+ employees
• Temptation to sell, and how to make decisions without emotion
• Contentment, family, and not chasing “happier than happy”

Today Jimmy sits down with Meg Del Toro, better known as Kambo Meg, a Kambo practitioner who facilitates one of the most intense and misunderstood healing experiences out there.

For those unfamiliar, Kambo is a traditional Amazonian medicine that uses peptides from frog secretion to intentionally activate the body’s fight or flight response. It is not psychedelic, it is legal, and it is designed to purge, reset, and regulate the nervous system.

Jimmy has personally sat with Meg multiple times and regularly brings her in to facilitate sessions for men in his group. Meg shares her personal story of childhood trauma, nervous system dysregulation, and the long road through therapy, plant medicine, and embodiment work that eventually led her to Kambo.

Together, Jimmy and Meg talk about why chaos feels familiar after trauma, how the nervous system gets stuck in survival mode, and why practices like Kambo, Sananga, cold exposure, and breathwork help retrain the body to stay present under stress. They also break down what an actual Kambo ceremony looks like, why surrender matters more than toughness, the role of purging, boundaries, emotional regulation in relationships, and how healing the nervous system changes the way you show up as a partner, parent, and leader.

This conversation is raw, grounded, and honest. If you struggle with anxiety, addiction patterns, emotional reactivity, or feeling disconnected from your body, this episode will give you a new framework for understanding why and what you can do about it.
