What if your life changed in a single heartbeat?

In this episode of the Rollercoaster Podcast, I sit down with Brigham and Lauren Richardson to unpack one of the most powerful survival stories I’ve ever heard. A weekend dirt bike trip turned into a nightmare when Brigham lost control, fell 75 feet off a cliff in Moab, and nearly lost his life. What followed was a blur of surgeries, internal bleeding, shattered bones, depression, and the painful fight to survive and then, to walk again.

But this episode isn’t just about trauma. It’s about marriage, faith, mental health, and resilience. Lauren shares what it was like receiving that phone call, navigating the unknown, and becoming Brigham’s anchor through months of recovery and setbacks.

Brigham opens up about waking up in the ICU unable to speak, feeling hopeless, and battling suicidal thoughts, all while learning to eat, talk, and move again from scratch. The fact that he’s here today, walking and healing, is nothing short of a miracle.

🎧 Listen if you’ve ever faced a rock bottom and wondered if you’d make it back.

This episode shook me.

I sat down with John “Goob” Dorsey, fitness coach, content creator, and fearless internet watchdog, and what started as a conversation about the dangers of an unregulated substance called 7-OH (Seven-oh) quickly unraveled into something far darker.

John exposes a growing epidemic: a synthetic compound more addictive than morphine, sold legally at gas stations and smoke shops, destroying lives with zero consequences. We talk Reddit forums, withdrawal stories, and the shocking lack of oversight fueling this silent crisis.

But that’s just the beginning.

We also dive into the disturbing world of predator behavior on Roblox, a platform marketed to children yet infested with sexual content and loopholes predators exploit daily. As a dad, that hit me hard.

From fake influencers and online scams to pedophile stings and vigilante justice, John pulls no punches. He calls out creeps, frauds, and hypocrites in ways that make you uncomfortable and that's the point.

This isn’t just a podcast episode. It’s a wake-up call.

If you’ve ever wondered what’s really happening behind the filters and facades of the internet, this conversation is unmissable.

In this episode of The Roller Coaster Podcast, I sat down with Billy McFarland, yes, that Billy, the mastermind behind the Fyre Festival. But this isn’t a story of excuses or spin. It’s an unfiltered, emotional conversation about ambition, delusion, and the high cost of chasing validation at any cost.

Billy opens up about the exact moment he lied to an investor, the deep regret that still keeps him awake at night, and what it felt like to lose everything, freedom, reputation, and trust. We talk about solitary confinement, broken relationships, redemption, and the hard lessons learned inside federal prison.

But we also talk about what’s next. Billy’s stepping into a new chapter, owning his past, paying restitution, and building a product focused on what he does best: getting attention.

This episode isn’t about defending a scandal. It’s about humanising the person behind it, and what happens when the world watches you fall. If you’ve ever made a mistake, felt the weight of your choices, or wondered what true redemption looks like, this one’s for you.

What would you do if the love of your life was taken too soon?

In this deeply emotional episode, I sit down with Pete Rendina, a husband, father, and author whose world turned upside down when his wife, Kylie, passed away in April 2024 after a relentless battle with cancer. Pete flew in from Michigan to join me in person and share a story that broke me… and will likely break you too.

We talk about love, loss, and legacy. About raising kids as a single dad. About the fear of goodbye and the promises whispered at a hospital bedside. And we talk about God, because it’s Pete’s faith that’s holding him together.

Pete doesn’t sugarcoat the pain. He opens up about the dark nights, the signs he sees from Kylie, the moments with his kids that keep him going, and how writing and faith are helping him rebuild.

Whether you're grieving, healing, or just need a reminder of what truly matters, this one will stay with you.

In this very first episode of my You First series, we’re flipping the script on what it means to be a man in today’s world. I sit down with two incredible guests, Adam Allred and Travis Prince, to have an honest, unfiltered conversation about something men rarely talk about: self-care.

This isn’t about bubble baths and face masks (though there’s nothing wrong with those). This is about learning how to truly show up for ourselves, mentally, physically, and emotionally, so we can show up better for the people we love. Adam, with his grounded wisdom, and Travis, with his raw, lived experience, open up about their own journeys, the struggles, the breakthroughs, and the habits that keep them grounded.

We talk about the quiet weight men carry, the pressure to be “strong” at all costs, and why prioritising yourself is not selfish, it’s essential. If you’ve ever felt burnt out, disconnected, or like you’re just going through the motions, this conversation is a reminder: your needs matter too.

Men’s self-care isn’t a luxury. It’s survival. And it starts here, with you first.

This is the hardest episode I’ve ever recorded.

Marc and Holly Cram sat down with me to share the unfiltered, gut-wrenching story of losing their 13-year-old son, Beckham, in a tragic drowning accident. Holly opens up about the very fear she’d carried for years, her child drowning, becoming her reality. We walk through the moment it happened, the chaos that followed, and the sacred, soul-shifting days that came next.

But this isn’t just a story about loss. It’s about love, connection, and the invisible bridge between this world and the next. Marc and Holly speak candidly about how Beckham still communicates with them, how trauma freezes in the body, and how intentional healing has rebuilt their marriage and redefined their faith.

We also talk about Holly’s new course, How to Speak to God, a powerful invitation to reconnect with your own divine guidance, no matter your beliefs.

This episode will break your heart and put it back together in the most unexpected ways. If you’ve ever lost someone or wondered what healing could really look like… this conversation is for you.

Warning: This episode contains graphic discussions of child exploitation and abuse.

In this episode, I sit down with Paul Hutchinson, entrepreneur, undercover operative, and producer of The Sound of Freedom, for one of the most emotional and confronting conversations I’ve ever had. Paul opens up about the darkest corners of the world he’s entered to rescue children and the toll it’s taken on his life, his soul, and his healing journey.

We talk about the myths and heartbreaking stories he’s witnessed firsthand, and why awareness alone isn’t enough. Paul doesn’t shy away from the controversy; he addresses recent media accusations head-on and shares what it really means to put your life on the line to save others.

But this episode isn’t just about darkness, it’s about healing. Paul shares how plant-based therapy, spiritual surrender, and radical self-forgiveness changed his life, and how his healing retreats are now doing the same for survivors.

If you’re a parent, a truth-seeker, or someone who’s ever wondered how to protect your family in a broken world, this conversation is for you.

In this deeply personal episode, I sit down with my close friend Heston Moyers, someone I didn’t expect to become one of the most reliable, loyal, and transformative people in my life. What started as a rocky first impression turned into a brotherhood rooted in honesty, accountability, and unconditional support.

Heston opens up about surviving a life-altering car accident, his journey through self-doubt, and the pivotal moment that helped him believe he was enough. From shedding 55 pounds to reshaping his mindset, he shares how the Levels retreat and the men who showed up there helped change the trajectory of his life.

We talk about what real friendship looks like, how powerful it is to have a 2am call friend, and why your circle can either limit or launch you. Heston also reflects on producing this podcast, the stories that shaped him, and how it’s helped him become a better father, husband, and man.

If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to truly change your life, this one is for you.

I sat down with Eric Johnson, and I don’t think I was fully prepared for what he would share. His story is one of brutal honesty, unimaginable loss, addiction, prison, and ultimately, redemption.

Eric takes us into the darkest corners of his past: witnessing a friend take his life, spiraling into meth addiction, and spending nearly a decade behind bars. He opens up about life inside solitary confinement, the trauma that haunted him, and the small, consistent choices that led him back to hope.

But this isn’t just a story of survival, it’s a story of transformation. From being featured on national news for his crimes to building a life of purpose, Eric has clawed his way back. Today, he’s three years sober, raising his daughter, and helping others break free from addiction through programs like Hope for Prisoners.

If you’ve ever felt too far gone, this episode is for you. We talk about recovery, self-worth, and how changing your environment can change your life. It’s raw. It’s heavy. But it’s exactly the kind of truth we need to hear.

In this episode of The Roller Coaster Podcast, I sit down once again with my friend James Dykes, one of the few guests we’ve ever invited back. The first time James shared his story, it reached tens of millions of people across social media. But behind the viral numbers was a man who walked through unthinkable loss, the death of his wife, deep grief, and personal trauma, and still chose to show up with vulnerability and faith.

This time, we go even deeper. James opens up about the emotional aftermath of sharing his story with the world, the love, the hate, the healing, and the spiritual wrestle that followed. We talk about fatherhood, men’s mental health, navigating grief publicly, and how suffering has shaped his faith and purpose. He shares how his pain has now become a catalyst for writing, for building community, and for stepping into a life of coaching, consulting, and hope.

If you’re carrying something heavy, this episode is a reminder: you’re not alone.

James’s honesty will challenge you, comfort you, and move you to believe that beauty still rises from the ashes.
