July 14, 2026 The Strip Club That Funded the Mob | Mark Sewell
He was a rookie FBI agent, barely off his first assignment, when they handed him the number-one grossing strip club in America... and the millions in cash it was skimming straight to the Gambino crime family in New York.
That was just the beginning.
Mark Sewell went from an oil refinery in Houston to the Marine Corps to twenty years in the FBI, working organized crime, public corruption, dirty cops, and a rape covered up from a police officer's own dinner table. Then he became the Bureau's go-to on stolen valor, hunting down the men who wear uniforms they never earned, starting with a fake Marine who slipped onto an Air Force base two months after 9/11, and what was hidden in that man's house.
We get into how the game is really played: how you flip a witness, why the best agents have the best informants, what the media never understood about the Gold Club, and how a lie about military service can end in a felony conviction.
Mark's book on the Gold Club case is out now, with his stolen valor book on the way.

June 30, 2026 Taking Down 'The False Prophet' — The Man With 22 Wives - Guest: Christine Marie
You're smarter than the people who join cults... and that's exactly why you're easy to recruit.
Dr. Christine Marie had a knack for languages, a faith she'd kept since childhood, and four kids she'd have died for. None of it protected her. A man who gazed without breaking eye contact told her he was the prophet she'd seen in a dream — and step by tiny step, she lost her money, nearly lost her children, and came within a protective order of losing her life.
This is the part most people get wrong about cults: it isn't weakness that lets them in. It's the certainty that it could never be you. Christine survived a manufactured "marriage" to a con man, a police system that filed her trafficking case as a bad romance, and a public docudrama that turned her trauma into entertainment and slut-shamed her in front of the world.
Then she did something almost no one does — she went back. Armed with a PhD in media psychology and an emotional-support farm's worth of animals, she embedded in Short Creek, earned the trust of an FLDS community everyone else had written off, and helped bring down self-proclaimed prophet Sam Bateman, working undercover alongside an FBI agent who finally moved "at the speed of a bullet train."
Tegan sits down with Christine for a conversation about the architecture of manipulation, the fundamental attribution error, why separation — not argument — breaks groupthink, and what it actually costs to be the person who goes back into the dark to pull someone out.
Two people who've lived undercover, holding the line between who you have to become and who you actually are.

June 10, 2026 Bobby Rock: Addiction, Loss & the Art of Staying Hungry at 62
Bobby Rock has held down the kit for Lita Ford, Nelson, and Vinnie Vincent Invasion. He's toured arenas, run drum clinics around the world, and stayed clean for nearly 50 years. But underneath the career is a man whose life has been shaped by things most people never have to survive.
In this conversation, Bobby opens up about getting sober at 13 through a 12-step program — and the insight that changed everything: addiction wasn't the problem, it was a symptom of a misdirected addictive personality, one he learned to point at discipline, craft, and health instead. He walks us through the surreal audition that launched his career, the maddening reverse-order recording of a record he tracked three separate times, and what it actually feels like to walk up the stairs to an arena stage for the first time.
Then there's the hardest part of his story: the violent loss of his pregnant girlfriend in 1993, the public act of forgiveness that followed, and the rage underneath it he spent years learning to face honestly. Three decades later — to the very day — he and his partner brought home their son. Now a first-time father at 62, Bobby reflects on softness, presence, and why staying hungry never left him.
A conversation about resilience, reinvention, and what it takes to keep showing up — for the work, and for the people who depend on you.

April 21, 2026 Spy Hunter: How A Rookie Trapped America’s Greatest Traitor ⁉️ - Guest: Eric O'Neill
What does it feel like to sit across from a man who got people killed... and earn his trust anyway?
Eric O'Neill was 26 years old, newly married, going to law school at night, when the FBI handed him the most dangerous assignment in their history.
His target: Robert Hanssen — a 25-year FBI veteran who had been secretly selling America's most classified secrets to Russia for over two decades. Nuclear blueprints. The bin Laden surveillance system. The names of American assets who were then executed. The damage was almost too big to calculate.
⭐Eric sat across from him every single day. And Hanssen never saw it coming. His story became the Hollywood thriller Breach — but in this conversation, we go way beyond the movie.
This is not just a spy story. It's a story about deception, trust, marriage, faith, and what it costs to live inside a secret.

March 31, 2026 "I Offered Them 500,000 to Let me go!" — Johnny Mitchell
️Johnny Mitchell built one of the most respected true crime podcasts on the internet by interviewing kingpins, cartel insiders, and some of the most dangerous people alive. BUT WHO TURNS THE MIC ON JOHNNY?
In this episode, I sit down with The Connect's Johnny Mitchell for a conversation, one where HE is the one answering the questions.
We get into:
~How hip-hop and crime movies shaped a middle-class white kid into a million-dollar drug trafficker
~The business ethics of the illegal drug trade — and why paying on time and keeping your word mattered more than anything
~The moment Johnny tried to bribe three Portland cops while they carried out half a million dollars of his cash
~What it actually feels like to hit that jail cell on night one & why he slept better than he had in years
~Why American prisons are broken — and what actually needs to change
~Stand-up comedy, bombing on stage, and why learning to live in silence in front of 200 hostile people is the most powerful skill he has
~What comes next when The Connect wraps — and who Johnny Mitchell actually is when the show is done
Two guys who've both lived double lives, built something real out of the wreckage, and have no reason to sugarcoat anything. This one went deep.

March 03, 2026 'I Made Him Millions' — Then They Pushed Me To The Side — The D.O.C.
Tracy Lynn Curry — The D.O.C. — helped write some of the most iconic albums in hip-hop history, co-founded Death Row Records, and went platinum at 21. Then a car accident took his voice in a single night.
This conversation covers it all — growing up bouncing between homes in Dallas, battle rapping Erykah Badu as teenagers, moving to LA on a handshake with Dre, inventing his own notation system to keep writing when he could barely whisper, and the decades-long fight to find purpose after losing the thing he was built to do.
Today he's building schools, mentoring kids, and making music again. You don't want to miss this one.
MY PURPOSE: From musician to FBI-assigned undercover, to CEO and author, I’ve learned that the most powerful stories happen when unlikely worlds collide. My goal is to unite independent thinkers through extraordinary stories, inspiring positive change, and exploring what connects us all. --Tegan Broadwater, Author | "Life in the Fishbowl."

February 17, 2026The Lie About “Making It” | Touring with Timberlake to Movies
She toured with Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera & Britney Spears — appeared in major films.
35 years ago, she was my high school drum student!
But that's not the story...
From Texas grit to LA world tours and big screens, Nancy Anderson breaks down what success in entertainment really takes: relentless work, real relationships, and the kind of “create-your-own-luck” courage that gets you in rooms you weren’t even invited to.
In this episode of TeeCast / Uncommon Souls, we go past the highlight reel—into the doubts, the hustle, the auditions, and the mindset shifts that turn talent into a career.
You’ll hear about:
Showing up anyway (and landing American Beauty + major commercials)
Why relationships matter—but authenticity matters more
Touring with Christina Aguilera, working with Britney, and chasing the dream gig with Justin Timberlake
Handling rejection, staying professional, and finding your “why” again
Motherhood, discipline, and the long game of creative life
If you’ve ever chased a dream—or tried to understand what drives someone else—this one’s for you.
