This is the one episode I look forward to all year. It’s become a tradition to gather this specific group of friends - Parallel Mike, Hrvoje Morić, and PJ Buys - to close out the year, not just as commentators, but as brothers navigating the same storm.

We sat down to unpack the chaos of the last twelve months, from the creeping reality of biometric controls to the undeniable shifts in our personal lives. But more than just analyzing the dystopia, this conversation is about how we keep our humanity intact through it all. We talk about fatherhood, faith, and the necessity of building real-world resilience when the digital walls start closing in.

We discuss the importance of stepping back from the online noise, finding strength in our families, and why - even as the systems around us wobble - we are betting on the human spirit to pull through.

It’s always an honor to share the mic with these gentlemen. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

In this conversation with Matt, better known as Plant Based Libertarian, I explore the rare intersection between veganism, libertarianism, and Christianity. What happens when freedom philosophy, compassion for animals, and faith in Christ converge into one worldview?

We discuss how Seventh-Day Adventism connects to plant-based ethics, the philosophy of the non-aggression principle extended to all living beings, and why living closer to nature might be more spiritual - and freer - than most people realize.

From moral absolutism and societal shadow work to the temptations of food and the call to return to the land, we dig deep into what it means to live authentically.

In this episode, I talk with pastor and writer Seth Troutt about masculinity, faith, and what it really means to grow up as a man in today’s world.

Seth shares his thoughts on humility, discipline, responsibility, and chivalry — not in some polished, self-help way, but through real examples of marriage, fatherhood, and faith. We also get into things like breaking family patterns, why rites of passage matter, and what’s drawing people back to church lately.

It’s an honest conversation about becoming the men we’re meant to be, struggling through the trials that shape us, and finding steady ground in a culture that doesn’t offer much of it.

Reaching the 100th episode feels like crossing a threshold. In this conversation with returning guest and good friend Parallel Mike, I wanted to go deeper — into faith, family, and the fragility of our financial world.

We explore what it means to stay grounded in a time when everything feels inverted — from collapsing economies and manipulated markets, to the erosion of values that once defined the West. We talk about marriage, fatherhood, and the personal responsibility required to build meaning in a world that rewards distraction and decay.

Mike shares his warnings about the coming financial reset and the quiet construction of digital control systems. I question whether faith, consciousness, and discernment are the only anchors we have left.

It’s a conversation about facing what’s coming — and rediscovering what’s real.

Lately I’ve been thinking about how faith, finance, and freedom intersect - and how easily we lose ourselves in the systems we build. When my friend and collaborator Wyatt O’Rourke came on, I knew our talk would go deep.

Wyatt’s journey from traditional finance to founding a Bitcoin wealth management firm isn’t just a story about money - it’s about waking up. We explored how broken incentives shape academia and economics, why self-custody may be the last form of sovereignty left, and how spiritual renewal might be the missing piece in rebuilding trust and morality in a post-fiat world.

Beyond Bitcoin, we talked fatherhood, moral courage, and finding God again. Wyatt’s reflections on faith and stewardship remind me that the real revolution is not a digital or financial one, but a spiritual one.

What happens when a society forgets its roots and lives only for comfort, consumption, and distraction?

In this conversation with RichardTheFourth, I explore the profound questions at the heart of modernity, identity, and the search for meaning.

We talk about the decline of liberalism as the framing principle of Western identity, the dangers of a hollowed‑out spirituality, and how traditions—whether Christian, pagan, or deeply cultural—hold the key to reconnecting with what is sacred. Richard takes us into the deeper frames that politics alone cannot touch: the balance of masculine and feminine energy, the role of myth and story in anchoring a people, and the challenge of rediscovering roots in a fragmented world.

From the Shire in Tolkien’s vision to the streets of modern Britain, this is a conversation about what must be defended, what must be awakened, and what it truly means to belong to a culture in the midst of upheaval.

"You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink."

This episode is my attempt to unpack the initial tweet, aiming to add the nuance often lost on X. It’s a chance to explain why I believe our generation, though dealt a difficult hand, has also been handed a rare opportunity, one that most seem reluctant to grasp.

I dive into why Bitcoin represents a once-in-10,000-year event, how it fundamentally contrasts with the traps of fiat and altcoins, and why conviction, humility, and education are small prices to pay for for the chance to capitalise on this rare monetary changing of the guard. I also tackle the most persistent objections head-on: volatility, scams, energy consumption, and the pervasive misconception that "it's worth nothing."

What surprised me most about the reaction was the sheer volume of misconceptions still circulating, even within circles I might have considered more informed. It's a reminder that sometimes we operate within our own bubbles, unaware of the mainstream narratives still permeating public consciousness. My hope is that this episode can help illuminate some of these fears and misunderstandings for those still on the fence, offering a clearer path through the noise.

This solo episode was my hardest yet. After nearly four years of hosting the State Food Podcast, I’ve come to appreciate how much energy it takes to show up authentically for every conversation. Lately, life’s pace and the demands of travel and business have tested my passion reserve, and I want to share that struggle openly. Thank you for sticking with me through the pauses and the peaks.

In this episode, I step away from guest interviews to reflect on a deeper shift: our collective loss of faith in institutions and the subtle strategies those in power use to channel fear. I trace the moment COVID pulled back the curtain on authority, and how that awakening has reshaped the way we view government, media, and each other. It’s a personal account of what happens when trust breaks and what it takes to rebuild it from the ground up.

I also revisit the long arc of human power dynamics, from hunter-gatherer tribes to modern-day states, highlighting how systems of protection can morph into systems of extortion and reflecting on the rise of taxation, regulation, and corporate lobbying - all tools of monopoly that steer our lives in ways we rarely notice.

Finally, I lay out a roadmap for radical decentralization. I explain why Bitcoin represents more than just an investment - it’s an uncompromising blueprint for a liberated monetary system - and why our conversations must move off centralized platforms before they vanish. For those who aren't already familiar, I'm introducing you to nostr, the truly censorship-resistant protocol I’m embracing, and invite you to start building the parallel world we’ll need when the next storm arrives.

In this episode, I sit down with investigative journalist and historian Johnny Vedmore to explore the findings of his recent article The Third Culture Dossier, which examines Elon Musk’s links to Jeffrey Epstein and the broader networks shaping today’s technocracy.

We look at the quiet evolution of power—how old neoconservative structures are being rebranded in digital form, and how figures like Musk are positioned within that transformation. Johnny shares how platforms like Edge.org, funded by Epstein, brought together the tech elite under the guise of scientific progress, and what that reveals about influence, media, and manipulation.

Alongside the heavy material, we also talk about Johnny’s upbringing, his experiences with reenactment communities and strategy games, and how these shaped his understanding of history and control. The conversation ranges from simulation theory to lucid dreams, AI, behavioral economics, and how narratives are managed in the digital age.

In part 2 of my conversation with author, activist, and founder of Architects for Social Housing - Simon Elmer, we confront one of the most urgent and controversial questions facing Britain today - mass immigration.

We explore the economic, political, and ideological forces driving mass immigration, and examine how legal frameworks and government institutions are being reshaped in dangerous ways. Are we seeing the rise of a two-tier society and a deliberate dismantling of a culture? If so, what are the consequences for sovereignty, justice, and the very idea of Britishness?

Our conversation doesn’t shy away from the most difficult topics: the role of Islam in modern Britain, the impact of “woke” ideology on law and governance, and the growing sense of alienation among those who feel their homeland slipping away. Is civil conflict inevitable, or can a new generation find the courage and means to resist what many see as an existential threat?

This is a raw, unfiltered dialogue about identity, power, and the future of the UK - a conversation for anyone willing to grapple with uncomfortable realities about a nation and a people under threat of "Great Replacement".
