America, talk to me, Loren Colin, and let us go beyond what you believe to better understand why you believe anything. I am not here to debate, there are plenty of places for speaking right past one another. Nor am I here to judge. Here on the We Unite We Win Podcast User Generated America series I will speak to anyone willing to give me an hour of their time to share their clearly stated morals, ethics, religious beliefs (or lack of) and views on humanity that inform their personal approach to culture, politics and government.

The aim of the UGA Series is not to change anyone’s mind, I am doing this in the hopes that you, the listener, will join me in putting aside your assumptions and listen to the guest for an hour. If the conversation gets you to ask a question about yourself, about your own beliefs and why you believe anything, all the better!

Our guest is John Burg. John, a friend of our previous guest Lorine Ghabranious, has made service his lifelong calling. Along the way, John has found direction, purpose and fulfillment in meditation, reflection and faith. Listen as John shares with me where his beliefs come from and how his journey shapes who he is today. Let’s chat with John Burg.

The aim of the User Generated America Series is not to change anyone’s mind, I am doing this in the hopes that you, the listener, will join me in putting aside your assumptions and just listen to the other guest for an hour. If the conversation gets you to ask a question about yourself about your own beliefs and why you believe anything, all the better!

Today’s guest is Phillip Carroll. Phil is actually the son of Wylene Jowers, who you will recall was the first ever guest on User Generated America. Well, a few months after that chance TikTok Live recording, Wylene passed away. The day before her memorial, a family member found the podcast on YouTube. Our chat was played at Wylene’s service, and then my DMs and email started lighting up, as well as a flood of comments and likes across social media. Wylene’s family started reaching out to let me know how great it was to hear her voice and to have her tell a bit of her own story.

Well, when Phil heard his mother, he also wanted a chance to tell a bit about his beliefs. Not only how different his beliefs turned out to be from Wylene’s, but also to share his journey there. Fortunately, that is exactly what we do here at UGA. Enjoy this chat with Phil Carroll.

Benny hails from The Pocono Mountains region of Pennsylvania. His diverse background speaks to the great strengths of the United States. I was fortunate enough to have the fates behind the TikTok Live algorithm send him into my stream. You and I are even more fortunate that Benny agreed to stick around for nearly an hour while I interviewed him.

As we do here at We Unite We Win’s User Generated America Podcast, Benny and I had a wide-ranging discussion covering philosophy, religion, culture, billionaire oligarchs, justice, taxes and government. Central to Benny’s approach to life is his belief that each of us knows what it takes to be a good person. He recognizes many of us fail to make the good person mark; however, within each of us is the ability to be good to ourselves and to be good to everyone around us.

Benny is a gamer and creator. He shares some amazing metaphors about what makes a game great over time—fairness, competitiveness, clear rules that everyone has to play by—and how these ideas relate to real life. Most strikingly to me, Benny spells out how game makers absolutely intervene in games to ensure that no one is taking advantage of others and that no one is being taken advantage of over the long-run. He believes there are clear lessons from gaming that we can apply to our economy, government and politics where everyone has a different result while always being in the game.

I know I learned a lot from speaking with Benny. I’m excited to hear what your takeaways are. Enjoy the pod!
