The Sage Steele Show

Chris Harrison is back! After more than five years away from television, the former host of *The Bachelor* joins Sage Steele to discuss his return with The Vow, a new faith-centered dating series on FOX Nation. Chris shares why he believes modern dating needs a reset, the importance of faith and traditional values in relationships, and why this next chapter means so much to him.

Ron DeSantis joined Sage Steele hours after the 2026 midterms to give the assessment no one in Washington was willing to give on camera. The Florida governor, who had already called the result close to an extinction level event for Republicans in much of the country, walks through what the midterms actually cost his party: the Senate confirmation math that he says leaves Donald Trump unable to seat a Supreme Court justice or a Defense Secretary his own voters would accept, the down ballot losses in state legislatures that he argues will outlast everyone currently in office, and the reason Florida was the only one of the ten most populous states to hold. He is blunt about the causes, from grocery prices and the Iran conflict to congressional stock trading, and blunter about his own party's communication failures. Asked directly when he will announce a 2028 run, his answer is not the one the prediction markets expected. He also explains the compounding math behind why prices never came back down, why screaming socialism stopped working as an argument, and what he learned about bouncing back from a 17 to nothing loss as a Yale outfielder in March of 2000. Figures cited were still provisional at the time of recording. New episodes of The Sage Steele Show every week.

Linda Cohn spent 34 years at ESPN, longer than almost anyone, and she left this summer on her own terms with a YouTube show already built. She joins Sage Steele for 76 minutes on what those last years actually looked like: the 2017 suspension after an innocent radio interview, the phone call she describes as bullying, the tweet a boss ordered her to delete, and the 80 percent pay cut she accepted after ESPN closed the Los Angeles studio so that nobody else got to decide how her run ended.

She also explains exactly where she believes the old SportsCenter died, why she was cast aside from NHL coverage after keeping the sport alive on the show for years, and why she never got an answer about any of it. Then the two of them get into what the industry looks like now: why so few women in sports media will speak up on women's sports, why executives who have never sat in the chair keep making the calls, and whether ESPN can ever win back an audience that has already left for YouTube.

Linda Cohn, ESPN, SportsCenter, and life after the worldwide leader. New episodes of The Sage Steele Show every week.

On October 16, the WNBA told Congress that Enes Kanter Freedom is ineligible to play because he is a man. We recorded this before that letter existed, and he had already called it.

Enes has declared himself eligible for the 2027 WNBA draft. He walks me through what he found in Article 13 of the collective bargaining agreement, why he says the league asked for months just to decide what a woman is, the eight other men he says are ready to file if the rules do not change, the one word the league could add that would make him walk away for good, and why he insists this is a pro-women position rather than an anti-trans one.

We also get into the career that ended first. Third overall pick, eleven seasons, more than one hundred million dollars in salary, and it was over at twenty nine because he wrote three words on a pair of Michael Jordan sneakers and would not stop talking about China. What his agent told him on the phone the day he understood it was finished. Why his own teammates asked for a separate bus. And why he has not spoken to his mother in almost fourteen years.

Tony Dungy joins Sage Steele for 100 minutes, nearly three decades after she first covered his Buccaneers as a young reporter in Tampa. He explains what happened at the end of his 17 years at NBC Sports, why he never asked permission before speaking at the March for Life, and what the network told him afterward. He also says plainly what he does and does not know about why the run ended.

Along the way he tells the stories that made him one of the most respected coaches in NFL history. The sign that hung in his locker room for 13 years. The offer he made every new player, to trade anyone who needed to be screamed at, and the fact that in 13 years nobody took it. What Chuck Noll and Dan Rooney told him as a 21-year-old rookie in Pittsburgh that became his entire coaching philosophy. Warrick Dunn winning Rookie of the Year while raising three teenage siblings. Peyton Manning checking the 14-day forecast before the Super Bowl. And what Warren Sapp did in the locker room the first game after Dungy was fired.

Plus: why he was cut from the Pro Football Hall of Fame voting committee, what he will and will not say about the Bill Belichick vote, All Pro Dad after almost 30 years, twelve children with nine adopted, and why he will not run for office.

Tony Dungy, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Indianapolis Colts, and a legacy built on how you do things.

Emily Austin is 25 years old, hosts her own sports show, judged Miss Universe, and after October 7th she says she lost nearly every brand deal she had. On this episode of the Sage Steele Show she tells me what happened the day after the attack, why she thinks the adults are the problem and not her generation, what Bobby Kennedy Jr. told her over dinner about who knew about the Holocaust, and what her grandfather learned in Bulgaria about his own neighbor.

She also gets into the campus panel where protesters pulled keffiyehs and drums out of their backpacks, the six hours she spent handing them the microphone, why she argues against a two state solution, what Zionism actually means to her, and the Saudi man who hated Jews and is now one of her closest friends.

Then the conversation turns to work. Emily explains why Miss Universe, Puma, and Sports Illustrated all stopped calling, what a network executive told her agent about how she voted, what the networks quietly edit out of postgame interviews, and why she thinks men in sports media stayed silent. She closes with the story of her mother's ultimatum, the night Jim Gray showed her a pile of a hundred rejection letters, and the one yes that started her career.

Bruce Pearl joins Sage Steele for ninety minutes on the fall almost nobody remembers correctly. In 2011 he was fired at Tennessee after admitting he lied to the NCAA. He lost an $11 million contract, went through a divorce, and took a job putting product into convenience stores while doing overnight radio. He tells Sage what his daughter Leah said to him during that stretch, and why he says it meant more than any championship.

He also tells the story of how Auburn happened, including the trick his wife played on him the night before the interview that changed everything. Eleven years later he retired as the winningest coach in Auburn basketball history and handed the program to his own son.

The second half goes wider. Bruce Pearl on why he believes coaches and administrators, himself included, blew the NIL era, and what a $4 million roster becoming a $30 million roster does to college sports. On growing up Jewish in 1960s Boston, the grandfather who refused to evict his tenants, and why black recruits and their families kept saying yes to him. And on why he walked away from coaching to speak publicly about Israel, faith, and the country he wants his grandchildren to inherit.

Sage Steele sits down with fitness icon Jillian Michaels for a wide-ranging conversation that starts where her career began: health and fitness. Jillian explains why the explosion of online fitness advice has made it harder, not easier, to know what actually works, and gives her honest, nuanced take on the rise of GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and why she only cautiously recommends them to close friends under very specific circumstances. She breaks down practical, affordable grocery guidance using the Clean 15 and Dirty Dozen lists, and shares the personal story behind her own transformation, from a childhood shaped by her parents' divorce and food as a coping mechanism, to her mother enrolling her in martial arts at 12, the decision that changed the course of her life. Jillian and Sage also touch on how public conversations have grown more difficult and personal in recent years.

Sage Steele calls in for an in-depth conversation with Congressman Byron Donalds, currently running for Florida's next governor, just 49 days before election day. Byron opens up about growing up poor in Brooklyn, the sacrifices his mother made to keep him in school even while the family relied on food stamps, and the moment at 20 years old, after being arrested a second time, that he says saved his life: looking himself in the mirror and deciding to change. He shares how his now-wife Erica brought him to church, how he gave his life to Christ at 21, and what he tells his three sons about the mistakes he made as a young man. Byron and Sage also discuss what it means to be a black conservative in today's political climate, his affordability plan for Florida's rising insurance, housing, and healthcare costs, his approach to AI data centers, and his vision for the state if elected. A candid, wide-ranging conversation on The Sage Steele Show. New episodes every week. The views and claims expressed are the candidate's own.

Sage Steele sits down with Colonel Allen West, combat veteran, former congressman, and one of the most principled leaders in America, for a powerful conversation on the 25th anniversary of September 11th. West takes us back to that morning, from watching the second tower fall in a Marine operations center, to the aircraft striking the Pentagon wing where a close friend survived, to driving home under a silent sky with no aircraft and knowing this was the Pearl Harbor of his generation. He shares what it meant to lead nearly 500 soldiers into Iraq when only two of them had ever seen combat, the moment he told a frightened young soldier that his own greatest fear was letting his men down, and the interrogation decision that ended his military career because protecting his troops mattered more to him than his own rank. West also reflects on faith, his father's charge to always take care of his troops, the family military legacy he shares with Sage, and why he still believes America's greatest days are ahead. A moving conversation about service, sacrifice, and leadership on The Sage Steele Show. New episodes every week. The views expressed are the guest's own.

Sage Steele sits down with Anne Beiler, the founder of Auntie Anne's Pretzels, for the remarkable story behind one of the most beloved brands in America. Raised Amish with an eighth-grade education and married at 19, Anne never dreamed of building a business, yet what began as a single farmers-market stand in Pennsylvania, started with $6,000 from her father, grew into roughly 2,100 stores across 28 countries. Anne tells Sage how she priced her very first franchise on nothing but common sense, why she almost took the now-famous pretzel off the menu, and the one-in-a-million kitchen accident that gave Auntie Anne's its unmistakable smell. Along the way she shares the faith that carried her through profound personal hardship and the belief she lives by today, that life is hard and God is good. A moving conversation about resilience, redemption, family, and the American dream on The Sage Steele Show. New episodes every week. This episode includes discussion of trauma and abuse; support resources are linked below.

Sage Steele sits down with legendary impressionist and comedian Frank Caliendo for two hours of laughs, stories, and dead-on impressions. Frank breaks down how he actually builds a voice from scratch, starting with Muppet voices and working his way to John Madden, Donald Trump, Joe Biden, Charles Barkley, Morgan Freeman, and Patrick Mahomes, and reveals the "pizza slice" face theory behind every character. He tells the story he kept secret for 20 years about John Madden wanting to sue him and the Hall of Famer who refused to go along with it, what really happened the day he dressed as Trump inside Trump Tower, and how his Richard Sherman parody took over an entire Super Bowl. Sage and Frank reminisce about the ESPN and Fox heyday, from Mike and Mike to the 30 for 30, and Frank gets honest about fame, family, why he has never had a drink in his life, and the coaching mistake he owned up to in front of a team of kids. A hilarious and surprisingly heartfelt conversation on The Sage Steele Show. New episodes every week.

Sage Steele sits down with Hall of Fame linebacker Brian Urlacher for a wide-ranging and unfiltered conversation that goes far beyond football. Brian explains why he started speaking up on the issues he calls common sense, from protecting women's sports to the treatment of Sophie Cunningham and Caitlin Clark in the WNBA, and why he believes so many wealthy male athletes stay silent when they know better. He and Sage get into the cancellation he faced from his own team, how speaking his mind shrank his circle to real friends, and why he has no regrets about it. Then the conversation turns personal: why he quit coaching his own son to be his father instead, the "no-men" who kept him humble through 13 seasons, what sudden money really does to a person, and why he would never trade his gold jacket for a Super Bowl ring. Plus a deep dive into the 2026 Bears, Caleb Williams, the greatest defenses of all time, and the stadium mess in Chicago. A candid conversation about courage, fatherhood, and football on The Sage Steele Show. New episodes every week. The views expressed are the guests' own.

Bernie Kosar sits down with Sage Steele for one of the most emotional and inspiring conversations in the show's history. The Cleveland Browns legend opens up about the decade since he and Sage first met at Game 7 of the 2016 World Series, a stretch that took him through a 96-hour coma, cirrhosis, early-onset dementia, a Parkinson's diagnosis, and a liver transplant that nearly did not happen. Bernie shares the almost unbelievable story of his 21-year-old donor, a young man who told his family days before his death that he wanted Bernie to have his liver, and the bond Bernie now shares with the donor's family. He talks candidly about the regenerative medicine he credits with getting his mind back, the concussion culture that told players to hide their injuries, why he has no regrets about the hits, the bankruptcy that reshaped his life, and the faith that carried him through. From the drive and the fumble to a Super Bowl ring, from rock bottom to a second chance, this is Bernie Kosar like you have never heard him. New episodes of The Sage Steele Show every week.

Sage Steele sits down with Dan Dakich, the former Indiana Hoosier, longtime ESPN college basketball analyst, and host of Don't At Me on Outkick, for one of the most candid conversations she has had on the show. Dakich tells the Bob Knight story he has kept private for 40 years, including the night in the locker room that nearly ended his career, and reflects on 16 complicated years with the legendary coach, the recruiting visit that broke their relationship, and how he made peace with it before Knight passed. He and Sage compare notes on their overlapping years at ESPN, what really changed the network after 2020, why leadership failed at the highest levels, and the Ryan Clark saga. Then Dakich unloads on the WNBA, the mishandling of Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham, the America 250 patch decision, and why a lack of leadership is costing the league its biggest moment. He closes with the loss of his father, the legal-pad reckoning that changed how he lives, and the two-word family motto that has carried him through firings, divorce, and everything else.

Adam Carolla joins Sage Steele for a wide-ranging and unfiltered conversation about California, the media, and where the country is heading. Adam explains the viral trick behind his Gavin Newsom interview, how he reassigned every word of the transcript to a Burt Reynolds voice and a generic NPR reporter to expose what was really said, and recounts the night he ambushed Newsom on live television with 22 seconds to think of a question. He and Sage get into why the media lost its way, why so many young voters are drawn to democratic socialism, the demographic shift he thinks explains it, and the red tape stalling the rebuild after the Los Angeles fires. Adam also confirms he has finally broken ground on a new home in Nevada after years of talking about leaving, and reflects on why standup comedy became the last place you could tell the truth. Racing, journalism, gender dynamics, and the state of American cities, with plenty of laughs along the way. New episodes of The Sage Steele Show every week.

Olympic gold medalist Scott Hamilton joins Sage Steele for one of the most remarkable life stories in sports. Scott opens up about the childhood illness that baffled doctors from Toledo to Boston Children's, being adopted at six weeks old, and the discovery 35 years later that finally explained everything. He shares how getting fired by Ice Capades led him to create Stars on Ice, the disastrous first show that literally caught fire, why he threw his Olympic broadcast binder in the trash, and the moment Kristi Yamaguchi changed the tour forever. Scott also reveals the rule that got him through stage 3 testicular cancer and a brain tumor, the lesson his mother taught him during her own cancer battle, meeting his wife Tracy, adopting two children from Haiti, and the two kinds of criticism every person needs to learn to filter. From living in a friend's basement with a gold medal to selling out Madison Square Garden, this is Scott Hamilton unfiltered on faith, family, failure, and fighting for joy. New episodes of The Sage Steele Show every week.

John C. Maxwell has written 92 books, sold tens of millions of copies, and at 79 years old still wakes up at 4:30AM without an alarm. He says it is not discipline. It is anticipation.

In this conversation we get into everything. Why he felt special at age four sitting alone in his backyard. The fifth grade teacher who changed his life by telling him he was a leader. How he got four girls to do all his homework from seventh grade through high school. Why his father paid him to read books instead of doing chores, and how that dinner table habit put him decades ahead of his peers. The exact moment a mentor told him to write for people he would never meet, which became the foundation of every book he has ever written. Why he is a growth person, not a goal person, and why goal setters plateau while growth minded people never stop. His personal definition of success at age 35 that still anchors him at 79. What a billionaire said about failure that became the seed of his 92nd book, How to Get a Return on Your Failure. Why success and failure belong together and what happens when you separate them. The pilot story that saved his life and taught him why anticipating failure is not pessimism but wisdom. And why he says if you don't give when you have a little you will not give when you have a lot.

As America celebrates 250 years of freedom, I wanted to have a conversation that reminds us what that freedom has cost and why it should never be taken for granted.

In this special episode of The Sage Steele Show, I sit down with retired Navy SEAL Jason Redman, who survived being shot multiple times during a brutal ambush in Iraq and went on to inspire millions through his message of leadership, resilience, accountability, and purpose.

Jason shares what happened on September 13, 2007, the day he calls his "rebirth day," and how surviving the battlefield was only the beginning of his greatest fight. We talk about faith, overcoming trauma, the challenges veterans face after coming home, the power of personal responsibility, and why our hardest moments often become the foundation for our greatest purpose.

We also discuss the importance of honoring those who have served, raising resilient children, finding strength through adversity, and what patriotism means as America marks its 250th anniversary.

Whether you're a veteran, a leader, an entrepreneur, a parent, or simply someone looking for hope during a difficult season, I think you'll walk away encouraged by Jason's remarkable story.

Thank you to every man and woman who has worn the uniform and to the families who have sacrificed alongside them. Happy America 250.

Gad Saad is back and this conversation went everywhere. He is an evolutionary behavioral scientist, bestselling author of The Parasitic Mind, and his new book is called Suicidal Empathy.

We get into what suicidal empathy actually means and why he compares it to a hairworm that drives a cricket to drown itself, why open border policies are the most damaging real world example of it, the British grooming gang scandal and the specific identity of the men involved that nobody wanted to name, why social scientists abandoned biology entirely out of fear it could be misused, the blank slate excuse used for repeat felons and why it removes all personal accountability, why Gad had to go through a brutal visa process to legally enter the United States despite his prominence, why the most common email he receives ends with please don't use my name, the moment Drew Brees apologized for loving his own country, and why Gad says Lionel Messi, the most famous athlete on the planet, refuses to ever take a position on anything.

This is one of the most direct, unflinching conversations we have had on this show.

Three college athletes came on this show and I am still thinking about this conversation.

Maddie, MK and Lainey never asked for any of this. They went to college to compete, earn scholarships and build their futures. Instead they found themselves watching their sports be taken over by biological males, losing roster spots, losing medals and in some cases watching their coaches stay silent because their jobs depended on it. They took it to court anyway. And now they are waiting for the Supreme Court to rule on whether states can even make sex-based distinctions in athletics.

In this episode I also sit down with Kristen Waggoner, CEO and President of the Alliance Defending Freedom, who has been litigating this fight for over a decade. She breaks down the two legal questions before the court, what a win actually means for girls across the country, and why she says lies cannot survive without censorship. We also hear from the girls themselves about the death threats, the teammates who would not stand with them, the coaches who stayed quiet, the male athletes whose own teammates said it was unfair, and why every single one of these women says she would do it all over again.

I sat down with Dave Rubin in his studio, and we went everywhere. No topic was off limits, and it may be my favorite conversation we've ever had on camera together. We get into why Dave says the LGBTQ acronym has letters that have absolutely nothing to do with each other and why he thinks the trans movement is actually the most anti-gay movement you could possibly create. The moment he watched the trans flag physically start eating the rainbow flag on a crosswalk in West Hollywood and why he says it is a perfect metaphor for what has happened. Why the activist class could not stop after winning marriage equality and what the machine behind it actually wants. His honest take on the 2028 Republican bench and who steps up if things go wrong at the midterms. Why Tucker Carlson now sounds like a leftist. The Spencer Pratt mayoral race in LA and what Larry Elder told him about why it probably cannot be won. Why he has not watched a single minute of NBA basketball despite it being his favorite sport his entire life. The moment a kid screamed a racial slur at Sage from a truck in the Florida Panhandle and how she chose to handle it. And why he says some of the people smiling at him during the Jubilee surrounded video were the ones he was most afraid of. Subscribe and follow the show.

Part two of my conversation with Sean Hannity went places I never expected and it might be my favorite hour I have ever spent on this show.

We get into Sean's 15 years of weapons training with sticks, blades and firearms and what he would actually do if someone pulled a gun on him. His honest answer to whether he has ever killed someone. Ainsley calling in live mid-interview and what she said when she found out we had been talking about her for two hours. How he knew Ainsley was the one and the faith conversation that sealed it before they ever moved in together. Why he left Catholicism and where his faith actually lives now. The sign in his Connecticut office that said I love Jesus but I cuss a little. The GD he dropped on live television and why he does not apologize for it. Why he thinks Ainsley's impersonations would get her canceled and why he is the only person qualified to warn her. And the direct question Sage asks at the end about whether he is running for president.

Part 1 is already out. Watch both.

Sean Hannity has been on Fox News for 30 years. He has been on radio since 1987. He has spoken to presidents, gone to war with the media and come out on top every time. And in this conversation he said more than he has ever said publicly.

In part one we get into why he deletes every text message he sends and has no cloud account, what he told Trump directly after the Rob Reiner comments, how he called Trump with Melania on speaker and told him nobody needs to hear every thought that goes through his head, why he started working at eight years old and never stopped, what it was like to raise himself because both parents worked around the clock, the bartending job he had at 17 that was keeping him out until 4AM during his senior year of high school, how he missed 37 days of school in one semester without his mother knowing, his take on masculinity and why he believes a man should be the provider, and why he called this conversation one of the most honest he has had in three decades of media.

Part 2 coming soon.

Sheriff Chad Bianco of Riverside County is running for Governor of California. He has served in law enforcement for over 30 years. He kept his businesses open during COVID. He hired everyone who got fired for refusing the vaccine. He has already arrested school officials for failing to notify parents. And when Trump endorsed his opponent at 1AM, his wife woke him up to tell him. He said "oh, that sucks" and went back to sleep.

In this conversation we get into why California is starving for real leadership and why career politicians cannot provide it, his plan to repeal Prop 47 and Prop 57 and why only voters can fix what voters created, why he says homelessness has nothing to do with homes and everything to do with untreated addiction and mental illness, how he plans to lower gas prices in California to be the cheapest in the country, why he says 60 to 65 percent of California's problems come from over-regulation and how fast he can fix them with executive orders, his promise that there will never be a boy in your daughter's locker room while he is governor, his response to Trump's endorsement of Steve Hilton and why he thinks it is actually helping his campaign, and what he learned from keeping Riverside County open during COVID that no other county in California matched.

Michael Knowles and I had one of the most wide-ranging conversations I have had on this show and it goes places I did not expect.

We get into the Yale study that found women have become measurably unhappier as feminism has grown, and why Michael says that is not actually a paradox. Why he believes the advice to throw out feminism entirely is the most practical marriage advice he has ever received. What he told his wife when she said she deferred to him on buying a new house. Why he thinks the woman who just wants to get married and raise children is not wasting her education but actually fulfilling it. What he thinks young men should actually be looking for in a woman and why confidence is the whole game. His full response to Tucker Carlson saying he regrets voting for Trump. Why he believes the podcast class has turned on Trump for ratings reasons and not principle reasons. Who he says is already the 2028 Republican nominee and why the race is not as open as the media claims. His take on Trump's Easter posts and the Christ image. The assassination of Charlie Kirk and what it revealed about the left. And whether he regrets staying in the MAGA coalition when so many others have walked away.

This conversation made me think differently about a lot of things. I think it will do the same for you.

I have been waiting a long time for this conversation. Dr. Peter McCullough is an internist, a cardiologist, and the most published physician in the world on COVID-19 and vaccine safety. And he did not hold back.

We get into the moment he was silenced under oath in the US Senate in November 2020 and why he still regrets staying quiet. The two specific crimes he believes Fauci committed include fraudulent concealment of the virus origins and what he calls mass negligent homicide. The 36 pandemic preparedness planning events that happened before COVID, including a Gates Foundation and Johns Hopkins exercise in 2017 that predicted a coronavirus pandemic from China in 2025. Why the COVID vaccines were rolled out by the Department of Defense and what that means legally. The dirty history of the 1986 National Vaccine Injury Compensation Act and why pharmaceutical companies have zero liability. Why autism rates have more than doubled, and what the McCullough Foundation report found about combination vaccines. How to test whether the spike protein is still in your body right now. What Ivermectin and Mebendazole are doing for cancer patients in early studies. And why 56 percent of Americans now believe the vaccines caused large numbers of deaths.

This is one of the most important conversations I have had on this show.

Steve Hilton is running for Governor of California and he is not pulling any punches. In this conversation, he breaks down exactly how 16 years of one-party rule turned the most resource-rich state in America into the most expensive, most unaffordable, and most mismanaged state in the country.

We get into the $928 million that vanished from a solar panel program, the $24 billion in homeless spending the state auditor could not track, the law that makes it illegal to require homeless people to get sober before receiving housing, and why Gavin Newsom vetoed every bill that tried to fix it. Steve also lays out his plan to get gas to $3, cut electric bills in half, and overturn the 2013 law that opened girls sports and locker rooms to biological males.

This is one of the most detailed, unfiltered conversations about what is actually happening in California and what it would take to turn it around.

I have known David Pollack for years. We worked together at ESPN, we have been friends through some of the hardest seasons of each other's lives, and I have always respected him deeply. But I did not know the full story until he sat down with me for this conversation. David was a three-time All-American at Georgia, second only to Herschel Walker in program history. He was a first-round NFL Draft pick. And in year two of his professional career, he broke his neck. A burst fracture at C6 and C7 that nicked his spinal cord. His wife Lindsay nursed him back to health for three months while he wore a halo screwed into his skull. He went from benching 455 pounds to struggling with 135. He says there was no mourning. Just gratitude for what had already happened and a quiet belief that something better was coming next. That belief carried him through 15 years at ESPN, a departure from the network he gave everything to, and then the phone call no husband wants to get. Lindsay had brain cancer. She had a seven-hour craniotomy. And thirty minutes after coming out of surgery, with her head still bandaged and her left arm barely working, she raised both arms and praised God. We talk about all of it. His philosophy of building identity from the top down instead of the outside in. Why he turned down a massive sponsorship deal because it involved gambling. His new podcast. His thoughts on women's sports and the trans athlete conversation. What it actually feels like to get fired from a job you loved after 15 years. And why he coaches his daughter's basketball team and has never missed a game since leaving ESPN. This is one of the most honest and moving conversations I have had on this show.

I have been looking forward to this conversation for a long time. Nick Vujicic is someone I had the privilege of getting to know first as a person before I ever sat across from him as a guest. And what you see in public is nothing compared to who he is behind the scenes.

Nick was born in Australia in 1982 with no arms and no legs. Nobody knew until the moment of birth. The doctor's first words to his parents were an apology for not catching it on the sonogram and an offer to have aborted him. His mother was a nurse and the head of the birth suite at her hospital. She had seen hundreds of births. Nothing prepared her for this one.

At age 10, Nick tried to take his own life. At 15 he found a Bible verse that changed everything. At 17 a janitor told him God was going to take him around the world to speak. He laughed. He has now spoken in 87 countries to over 11 million people in person. 1.5 million of them responded to the gospel.

In this episode Nick talks about the suicide attempt, the bullying, how his disability was rejected as a reason for his family's green card application to America, how he was canceled by a false viral article, debanked by JP Morgan Chase, had a grenade thrown at his property and a bomb squad called, and what he calls being hijacked by his own Christian friends. He also tells the cream puff proposal story, talks about his four kids, the documentary No Limbs No Limits, and the shoes he keeps in his closet just in case God heals him.

This one is everything.

Jeff is one of the funniest comedians working today. He is also two years and four months sober, still grieving his sister who died in a car collision in 2015, his father who passed recently, and quietly carrying a faith he spent years hiding from the comedy world because he was afraid it would cost him his career.

In this episode, Jeff talks about what COVID actually did to him, locked alone in a giant house in Los Angeles with guns, alcohol, a breakup, and a world that felt like it had decided straight white males were the enemy. He talks about the moment in Dallas he has never publicly shared that made him finally put the drink down. He talks about growing up poor, finding church in ninth grade not because he was religious but because the church kids had snacks and answers. And he talks about his sister, who believed in him from the beginning and was gone before she could see how far he went.

This one sat with me. I think it will sit with you too.

It has been three years since Stephen A. Smith and I sat face-to-face, and today, he is finally sitting in my living room in Florida! We have been teammates, rivals, and friends through some of the most turbulent years in media history, but this is a conversation you will never see on a sports network. Stephen A. Smith is more than just a "performer"—he is a brand built on a foundation of early failure and a refusal to be silenced. This is a masterclass in authenticity, resilience, and the power of a human connection that transcends politics. Sponsors: Provide one life-saving ultrasound for just $28 at https://preborn.com/sage.

I've known Brian Kilmeade for a long time, but sitting down with him in this format allowed us to go deeper into the "locker room" of national news than ever before. Most of you see him for six hours a day across Fox & Friends and his radio show, but today we're pulling back the curtain on the grit, the rivalries, and the absolute loyalty that made his network number one.

Brian is a master storyteller who treats news like a sport. Whether you're a long-time viewer or interested in the mechanics of power and media, this conversation is an absolute masterclass in persistence.

I remember the day I discovered Jen Sey. We had such similar trajectories in our careers and our "cancellations," and sitting down with her in person was a powerful reminder that the truth always wins. Most of you know her as the former Brand President of Levi's who stood up for children's rights during the pandemic, but today, we're going way beyond the headlines.

I have spent my career around some of the world's most focused individuals, but Kristan Hawkins brings a level of grittiness and fearlessness that is truly in a league of its own. As the president of Students for Life, Kristan isn't just an activist; she is a mother of four and a "revolutionary" for the most vulnerable among us. In this powerful episode, we go far beyond the viral debate clips to discuss the heart of her mission. Kristan gets incredibly real about: Her "total crap day" in San Antonio that led to saving a life—and meeting Baby Mercer. The psychology of conflict and why she believes change only happens when you produce friction. The shocking truth about eugenics in modern medical systems and the "billion-dollar pharmaceutical industry". Raising a family with Cystic Fibrosis and the radical choice to choose life even when the numbers are against you. Whether you agree with her or not, you cannot deny the passion and the "grittiness" Kristan brings to this conversation. We discuss why she refuses to be a people-pleaser and how she finds the strength to keep standing tall—even when the threats and vitriol come from both sides of the aisle.

I finally sat down in person with Leland Vittert, and while we both have some pretty fabulous hair, it's what's under the surface that left me truly moved. Most of you know him as a fearless News Nation anchor and former Fox News correspondent, but today we're talking about his raw and powerful new book, "Born Lucky." In this episode, Leland opens up about his lifelong journey with autism and a severe learning disability that once led a principal to tell his parents he was "weird" and had no future. We dive deep into the psychology of resiliency, the sacrifices of a father who worked the "night shift" just to hold his son's hand through adversity, and the incredible discipline it takes to navigate the world when your brain is wired differently.

I have spent my career around world-class high-performers, but I don't know if I've ever met anyone with the sheer persistence and focus of Scott Presler.

We're talking about the psychology of grassroots activism, the power of being unique, and the radical accountability required to actually save a country.

I spent 15 years only watching sports because of my life at ESPN, so I missed the initial Duck Dynasty craze—but getting to know Willie and Korie Robertson today was exactly what my soul needed. We go far beyond the camo and the beards to discuss the raw reality of family, faith, and what happens when your life changes overnight.

In this episode, Korie and Willie get incredibly honest about their "rough start"—including a breakup at 17 and a "knockdown drag-out" fight with Korie's father before they got married at 18 and 19. We talk about the psychology of sudden fame, the "ginger angel" that changed Willie's health, and the "nuclear reactor" of stress that comes with running a family business while filming a hit TV show.

We also dive deep into why they never left their hometown, how they handled the loss of the legendary Phil Robertson, and their mission to bring good news and revival to a world that feels increasingly dark. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to their journey, this conversation is a masterclass in resilience and staying rooted in what matters.

Medal of Honor recipient Dakota Meyer joins me for a conversation that I'll never forget. We've all seen the headlines about his bravery in combat, but in this episode, we go far beyond the military accolades to discuss the real price of heroism and the silent struggle of mental health that follows the battlefield.

Dakota is incredibly raw about the night he stood in the Battle of Ganjgal, the loss of his teammates, and the "big dirty secret" of the transition back to civilian life. We dive into the psychology of survival, how he navigated the weight of the Medal of Honor, and the faith and resilience required to rebuild a life when you feel like the world only sees the uniform. This isn't just a story about war; it's a masterclass in vulnerability and finding purpose in your darkest moments.

Today's guest, Dr. John Delony, is someone I have admired from afar for a long time because he has a way of cutting through the noise and getting straight to the heart of what's breaking our families.

In this conversation, John gets incredibly vulnerable about his own "big dirty secret" how his success in the world was masking a "nuclear reactor" of stress that made his own daughter feel unsafe to hug him. We dive deep into the "toolkit crisis" facing men today, why we've started pathologizing normal childhood behavior in boys, and the radical choice to rebuild a marriage from the ashes.

John also turned the tables on me, asking why I decided to "run it back" and get married again after a 20-year journey. This is one of the most raw, honest, and faith-filled conversations I've ever had on this show. If you've ever felt like you were just "performing" your life instead of living it, this episode is for you.

I am so honored to have Senator John Kennedy join me today. If you know the Senator, you know he tells it exactly like it is: no filter, no teleprompter, just straight common sense. We really went there in this one, covering everything from the high-stakes military action in Venezuela to the "special kind of stupid" he sees in government bureaucracy.

We took a deep dive into the reality of what's happening at our border, the "loon wing" of the Democratic party, and why he's sounding the alarm on the rise of socialism in cities like New York. But beyond the politics, the Senator shared some incredibly personal stories including how he defied orders to save pets during Hurricane Katrina and his honest assessment of meeting with Joe Biden early in his presidency.

Senator Kennedy is one of a kind. He's brilliant, he's hilarious, and he reminds us all why we have to stand strong because as he says, "weakness invites the wolves.

In this edition of The Sage Steele Show, I sit down with Jesse Watters for a conversation you do not usually see on television. We talk about life beyond the camera. Family, marriage, faith, confidence, mistakes, and what it actually takes to stay grounded while working in a nonstop media environment. Jesse opens up about lessons learned, how his personal life has shaped the way he shows up on TV, and why authenticity matters more than ever. This is not a debate or a soundbite interview. It is a real conversation filled with humor, reflection, and moments you do not get in a studio setting. If you are curious about the man behind the headlines and what life looks like when the cameras turn off, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I sit down with Hodgetwins, and I can honestly say this might be the most I've ever laughed on this show. Yes, we talk about real issues. Culture. Politics. Identity. Accountability. But we also laugh a lot. Because that's who they are. Comedians who tell the truth without pretending it has to sound polished or safe. We get into what happens when you stop conforming, when you challenge expectations placed on how you're supposed to think, vote, or speak. We talk about black fatigue, social pressure, and the cost of honesty. But we also joke, tease, and laugh through it, because humor is often how people survive difficult conversations. This episode is honest, funny, uncomfortable at times, and genuinely joyful. It is proof that you can talk about serious topics without losing your sense of humor or your humanity. If you want a conversation that is real, unfiltered, and full of laughter, this one is for you.

My dear friend Samantha Ponder joins me for one of our most honest conversations yet. We talk motherhood, faith, fear, and freedom, raising kids in New York City, why safety is more complicated than we think, and what it really means to trust God in uncertain times.

We also reflect on life after ESPN, being fired, stepping away from social media, marriage, parenting without fear, and why some of the hardest seasons can lead to the greatest clarity.

This conversation with Del Bigtree is one of the most serious and eye-opening episodes I have ever recorded. Del laid out his concerns about vaccine safety, government transparency, and the systems that influence the medical decisions families make every day. Whether you agree with him or not, his perspective is rooted in years of research, investigation, and a deep passion for protecting children. We talked about the questions he believes are not being asked, the studies he thinks should be at the center of public conversation, and the consequences he has faced for speaking out. Del walked through what he sees as the dangers of censorship, the erosion of trust in institutions, and the importance of holding powerful systems accountable. This episode is not about fear. It is about understanding. It is about listening to people who have dedicated their lives to a cause, even when their views challenge the mainstream.

Jason Whitlock showed up ready to talk about everything, and he did not hold back.

We talked about his long and complicated history with Stephen A. Smith, why that friendship changed, and what he believes Stephen has gotten wrong through the years. Jason opened up about the choices he has made in his personal life, including why he never married or had children, and how those decisions shaped the man he is today.

And because this is Jason Whitlock, there was plenty of laughter too. I pressed him on his top ten eye candy list, and he broke it all down with the honesty and humor only he can deliver.

This conversation was real and raw, but also thoughtful and surprisingly vulnerable. Jason brought clarity, conviction, and heart, and I walked away grateful for the honesty of it all.

I sat down with Dave Ramsey at his headquarters in Nashville for one of the most personal and inspiring conversations I've had on this show.

Dave opened up about losing everything in his 20s, filing for bankruptcy as a young husband and father, and how that painful chapter became the foundation for the empire he built today. We talked about what it means to be a real leader, how faith guided him through failure, and the difference between being a boss and being a servant leader.

He shared what those years taught him about marriage, fatherhood, and humility, and how his faith continues to shape every decision he makes at Ramsey Solutions. We also talked about cancel culture, courage, and why he believes silence is never the answer.

This episode is about perseverance, redemption, and the kind of wisdom that only comes from walking through the fire and choosing to serve others on the other side.

Bear Handlon has lived a life of service, from the battlefield to the boardroom. The former U.S. Navy SEAL and CEO of Born Primitive joined me for a conversation about purpose, leadership, and what it means to truly give back. Bear shared the story behind his company's partnership with Black Rifle Coffee to raise $25 million to pay off veteran medical debt. He talked about the people this effort has already changed, from veterans to Gold Star families, and what it feels like to make that kind of impact. We also talked about his transition from military life to business, the lessons he has learned about sacrifice and integrity, and how fatherhood has given him a new perspective on success. This episode is a reminder that gratitude means more when it comes with responsibility, and that one person can make a difference when their heart is in the right place.

Will Cain has made a career out of saying what he really thinks, and this conversation was no different.

We talked about faith, family, and the power of conviction in a world that constantly demands you choose a side. Will shared how growing up in Texas shaped his worldview, what he learned from leaving ESPN for Fox News, and why he believes truth and empathy can still coexist in today's media landscape.

We also discussed marriage, fatherhood, and the importance of raising boys who are strong, kind, and grounded. Will opened up about the pressure that comes with public life, how he handles criticism, and what it means to lead with both humility and courage.

This was real and unfiltered, an honest look at what it means to hold onto your values when the spotlight never turns off.

Riley Gaines has become one of the most recognizable voices in the fight to protect women's sports, but in this conversation, we got to see another side of her as a wife, a new mom, and a woman learning to balance purpose with peace.

Riley and her husband Louis sat down with me to talk about faith, marriage, and how they've stayed grounded through all the chaos of public life. We talked about their journey as newlyweds, how becoming parents has changed their perspective, and what it really feels like to be thrust into the national spotlight.

Riley opened up about the pressure of being a public figure, the criticism she faces, and how she finds strength in her faith and in her relationship with Louis. Together, they shared how they handle disagreements, protect their marriage, and stay focused on what matters most: family, purpose, and truth.

It's a rare and refreshing look at the woman behind the headlines, and the man who's been by her side through it all.

Allie Beth Stuckey has never been afraid to speak truth in a world that often rewards silence. In this conversation, we talked about faith, conviction, and what it means to stand firm when culture pushes you to conform. Allie opened up about her journey into broadcasting, how motherhood reshaped her worldview, and why she believes women today are desperate for truth, not validation. We also talked about the cost of conviction, how to disagree without dehumanizing, and why faith must come before fear, especially in media and leadership. We discussed the state of Christianity in America, the pressure many young people face to compromise, and how social media has changed the way we share and live out our beliefs. Allie's perspective is strong but full of grace, rooted in both intellect and compassion. This conversation was about more than faith or influence.

James O'Keefe has never been afraid to ruffle feathers. From founding Project Veritas to launching OMG, the O'Keefe Media Group, his investigations have taken on some of the most powerful institutions in America. In this conversation, we talked about what drives him to keep exposing corruption even when the personal cost is high. He opened up about being ousted from the company he built, the lessons he learned about trust and betrayal, and how that painful chapter reshaped his mission. We also dove deep into his ongoing work on the Jeffrey Epstein case, the battles he has faced with the DOJ and FBI, and how he stays grounded through it all. James spoke about his faith, his parents, and the people, like his friend Charlie Kirk, who have influenced his perspective on courage and conviction. It is one of the most powerful and emotional conversations I have ever had.

From building WWE with her husband Vince to running for the U.S. Senate in Connecticut and later serving in President Trump's cabinet, Linda McMahon's story is nothing short of remarkable.

In this conversation, I sat down with Secretary Linda McMahon, now serving as the U.S. Secretary of Education, to talk about her journey through business, politics, and public service. She opened up about the early days of WWE, what it was like to lose everything and start again, and how those lessons shaped her as a leader and as a mother.

We also talked about her Senate campaigns in Connecticut, her role in the Trump administration, and the bold steps she's taking to reshape education in this country. From Title IX and protecting women's sports, to the fight against antisemitism on college campuses, to her push for school choice and literacy, Linda is determined to return education to the states and put students first.

It's a powerful reminder of what resilience looks like and what leadership can accomplish when it's rooted in conviction.

You probably know Justin Danger Nunley from TikTok, where millions of people wait for his signature line: "Listen… did you know?" But behind the viral videos is a story most people have never heard. Justin sat down with me in Nashville not long after retiring from the Air Force, where he served for 20 years. We talked about how the military shaped him, why comedy became his outlet, and how a fun experiment on TikTok exploded into a career that changed his life. He opened up about the grind of building an audience, the setbacks that almost stopped him, and the viral moment that sent his account into the millions. And this conversation was extra special because my daughter Quinn joined in on the action for a bit, which made it that much more fun and real. But it was not just about content. Justin shared stories about his family, the importance of resilience, and the lessons he carried from service to social media. He also spoke honestly about criticism, cancel culture, and the pressure of staying authentic when millions are watching. This conversation had everything. Laughter, vulnerability, and some random facts you will never forget. More than anything, it showed the heart behind the humor.

Scott Jennings has built a reputation for speaking truth to power on CNN, but what stood out to me in this conversation was his honesty, his perspective, and his heart. We filmed this episode over a month ago in Washington DC, and it was the perfect backdrop for a raw and real discussion about politics, faith, and family. We talked about what it takes to sit in the lion's den night after night, debating politics in front of a national audience, and why authenticity matters more now than ever. Scott opened up about his career path from Kentucky to the Bush White House, to campaign war rooms, and now to CNN, where his voice has become one of the most recognizable conservative perspectives in America. He shared stories about Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell, and the lessons he has learned from decades inside politics and media. We also talked about faith, family, and why staying grounded matters when the world is coming at you full speed. Scott Jennings is sharp, candid, and passionate about America's future, but what I walked away with was a reminder of his integrity and his courage to stand firm in the face of constant pressure.

This conversation was unlike any other because the roles were reversed. Instead of me asking the questions, my fiancé Dave Barbuto sat in the host chair and interviewed me just two days before our wedding. We talked about how we met, the values that anchor us, and the importance of our children and families as we prepare to blend our lives. We reflected on faith, love, and the lessons that brought us to this moment, and we opened up about the excitement, nerves, and gratitude that come with saying "I do." It was raw, personal, and at times emotional. More than anything, it was a reminder of how powerful it is to stop, take stock of your journey, and share it with the person you love most. This episode is not just about our story. It is about family, faith, and the beauty of second chances.

I sat down with Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, and we covered just about everything. Brett opened up about the lessons his father taught him, what it was like to grow up in a modest family, and how that foundation shaped the way he approached football and life. He shared powerful memories about the night after his father passed away, when he played one of the most unforgettable games of his career, and how that moment still defines him today. We talked about the toll football took on his body, his battle with Parkinson's disease, and why he refuses to let it define him. Brett also addressed the controversies that have followed him, the Netflix documentary, and the ongoing civil case in Mississippi. But beyond the headlines, he spoke about family, faith, and what he hopes his legacy will be, not just as a quarterback, but as a husband, father, and friend. This was Brett Favre at his most honest, funny, candid, and unfiltered.

I've known Zachary Levi for years, but this was the first time we sat down for an unfiltered conversation- and it was worth the wait.

Zach opened up about faith, fatherhood, and why he's building a new kind of community in Texas called Wildwood. He spoke candidly about Hollywood, the backlash he's faced for speaking his mind, and what it feels like to live out his values in an industry that doesn't always welcome honesty.

We talked about everything from politics and the pandemic to the dangers of AI and what it means to hold onto hope in a world that feels increasingly chaotic. Zach also shared how becoming a father has deepened his perspective and given him a renewed sense of purpose.

This was Zachary Levi at his most real - thoughtful, passionate, and unapologetically himself.

Calley Means has spent years pulling back the curtain on some of the most powerful industries in America, and what he shared with me was eye-opening. We talked about his journey from working inside the political machine to becoming a senior adviser to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and now one of the most outspoken critics of the food, pharmaceutical, and healthcare industries. Calley explained why he believes the health of our country starts with what we eat, and how the system is stacked against ordinary Americans from the time we are kids in school. He did not sugarcoat the reality. The statistics are dark, the incentives are broken, and the industries making billions off our sickness do not want to change. But Calley also brought hope by sharing why he still believes America can turn this around, what he is fighting for alongside RFK Jr. and Donald Trump, and the changes that could actually make us healthy again. This was a challenging and fascinating conversation that will make you question what you have been told about health, medicine, and the food on your plate.

Skip Bayless has built a career on delivering sharp takes, holding bold opinions, and never backing down from a debate, but this conversation revealed a side of him that most people never see.

We discussed the work ethic that has fueled his decades in sports media, from his early days as a newspaper columnist to becoming one of the most recognizable personalities on television. Skip opened up about the sacrifices, the criticism, and the pressure that comes with living your life in front of an audience every single day.

He shared personal stories about his childhood, the moments that shaped him, and the relationships that have kept him grounded in a business that can easily pull you away from what matters most. We also got into his views on competition, how he prepares for those high-stakes TV debates, and why he's still as passionate about sports as he was on day one.

This was Skip Bayless beyond the hot takes- a thoughtful, driven man who's as committed to his craft as he is to staying true to himself.

Dr. Drew has spent decades in the public eye, but sitting down with him revealed the man behind the microphone. We talked about his journey from medical school to becoming one of the most recognizable doctors in America, and how his work in the ICU, psychiatry, and addiction medicine gave him a rare window into the full spectrum of the human experience. He shared deeply personal stories about raising triplets, facing his child's brain surgery, and how his own childhood trauma shaped both his empathy and his work ethic. Dr. Drew didn't shy away from tough topics. We dug into the nature of addiction, why childhood trauma is often the hidden catalyst, and how he believes cities like Los Angeles could actually solve the homelessness crisis if they had the courage to act. He was candid about mental health, loss, and the need for pragmatic solutions in a world that too often favors ideology over reality. This conversation is full of lessons from someone who has truly seen it all- inside the hospital and out in the world.

Some conversations stop you in your tracks- and this was one of them.

Xaviaer DuRousseau joined me to talk about how he went from identifying as a proud liberal to becoming one of the boldest conservative voices challenging the mainstream narrative today. He walked me through that transformation. What shifted, what hurt, and what ultimately freed him.

We talked about identity, race, and the pressure to conform. Xaviaer opened up about the backlash he's faced, the isolation that comes with speaking your truth, and why he refuses to be quiet- even when it would be easier.

This wasn't about towing a party line. It was about finding the courage to break away from the script and rewriting your own.

This one was personal in a way I didn't expect.

I sat down with Vivek Ramaswamy—not just to talk politics—but to talk about faith, family, and what drives him as a man. We got into what it was like growing up as the child of Indian immigrants, how his faith shapes the way he sees the world, and why he's more interested in speaking the truth than winning approval.

Now running for governor of Ohio, Vivek spoke about what it means to be an outsider in politics, the backlash he's faced for standing firm on controversial issues, and why he believes most Americans are hungry for something real. He opened up about his marriage, his kids, and what he wants to teach them about courage.

Whether you agree with him or not, Vivek doesn't pull punches—and I respect that. This conversation was raw, honest, and bigger than politics.

It's been almost a year since @samanthaponder was abruptly fired by ESPN. Since then, she has been in a self-described hibernation…until now. This is not an interview, it's a conversation. It's Sam's story. Her story of why she believes she was fired, how that awful moment prompted endless self-reflection…changing her life in the most beautiful ways. Being fired helped her marriage, helped her relationship with her kids, changed her perspective on so much, and strengthened her beliefs in many other ways. This is about the reality and insanity of the world today, and Sam's choice to now live in this world differently - with purpose, passion, and so much love. In this conversation, Sam is as vulnerable and self-aware as anyone I've ever had on my show…it's incredible, and inspirational. Full disclosure…Sam and I have been friends for almost 15 years. Our first connection was our last names (The Steele Sisters!) and now, I truly do consider her a sister for life ❤️ Her faith inspires me more than I can describe. Her prayers & support have gotten me through so much, and it's been beautiful to see her grow as a mother, and as a woman. I am so very proud of how she has chosen to handle such a difficult situation, and proud to call her a friend forever!

This conversation with Roseanne Barr was exactly what I hoped it would be—real, unfiltered, and a little bit wild in the best way.

We talked about her childhood in Salt Lake City, the moment she says God told her she'd have her own show when she was just three, and how that early vision shaped her entire worldview. She opened up about her rise in stand-up comedy, what it really took to get Roseanne on the air, and the battles she fought for creative control.

But she didn't shy away from the hardest parts: the tweet that blew up her career, the accusations of racism, the fallout from being "canceled," and how she sees media and politics today. Roseanne is blunt, sometimes controversial, but always raw and honest. She shared how she's rebuilt her life, why she still believes in pushing boundaries with comedy, and what matters most to her now—her family, her grandkids, and her personal freedom.

If you think you know Roseanne Barr, this conversation might surprise you.

There are certain conversations you know will stay with you, and my talk with Pastor Lorenzo Sewell was exactly that. He's the lead pastor of 180 Church in Detroit, but what struck me most wasn't just his title- it was his raw honesty about where he came from and what he believes his community truly needs. We talked about the time President Trump visited Detroit, a place no Republican president had visited since Reagan, and the prayer that surprised everyone, including Trump himself. He didn't hold back about the state of Detroit, the challenges Black communities face, and why he believes faith and politics can't stay separate when people are suffering. Pastor Lorenzo shared his own journey from street life to the pulpit, his unfiltered thoughts on abortion, poverty, crime, and why he refuses to change his message to fit any party's talking points. He's passionate, unapologetic, and committed to telling the truth- even if it costs him friends, congregation members, or personal safety.

I wasn't sure what to expect going into this conversation with Chris Harrison—but I walked away with a deeper respect for a man who's been through a public firestorm and came out of it more grounded, more thoughtful, and more self-aware.

For nearly two decades, Chris was the host of The Bachelor—a pop culture staple. But we didn't spend our time rehashing old seasons. Instead, we talked about the real stuff: identity, regret, resilience, and what it means to be publicly misunderstood. Chris opened up about the moment everything changed, how it impacted him personally and professionally, and how he handled the silence that followed.

He talked about therapy, fatherhood, the power of taking ownership, and why losing his job may have been one of the best things that ever happened to him. And through it all, there was no bitterness—just clarity. Chris showed up with humility and honesty, and I think you'll hear that right away.

This is a conversation about redemption, reinvention, and what happens when the spotlight turns off and you're left with who you really are.

Chapters:

00:00 – Intro: First impressions and why this conversation matters

02:00 – Life after The Bachelor and learning to let go

06:00 – The 2021 controversy: what happened, and how he handled it privately

12:30 – The weight of silence: losing his voice in the public square

18:00 – Owning mistakes, navigating cancel culture, and why words matter

24:00 – Therapy, humility, and starting the inner work

30:00 – Rebuilding relationships and letting go of the need to be "right"

36:00 – Fatherhood and how his kids saw it all unfold

42:00 – What he lost—and what he found in the quiet

48:00 – Why he never rushed a comeback

53:00 – Launching The Most Dramatic Podcast Ever and finding his own voice

01:00:00 – The highs and lows of hosting The Bachelor

01:08:00 – Fame, pressure, and identity outside the spotlight

01:15:00 – Manhood, grace, and how his definition of success has changed

01:25:00 – Final reflections: peace, purpose, and what's next

Some people carry a quiet confidence that makes you lean in—not because they're trying to impress, but because they've lived it. That's Shannon Bream. As the anchor of FOX News Sunday and chief legal correspondent for FOX News, Shannon brings credibility and calm to every conversation she's in—and this one was no different. We talked about her journey from practicing law to starting from scratch in journalism, why getting fired early on was a blessing in disguise, and how she navigated the pressure of pageant culture while building confidence in her own voice. She also opened up about her early marriage, when her husband was battling a major health challenge. Instead of pulling them apart, that experience pulled them closer. Through financial struggles, uncertainty, and a total career reset, Shannon leaned on her faith and found new purpose along the way. This episode is about more than career moves—it's about grit, grace, and sticking to your values when the world's telling you to bend.
