Ep 198 - John Hamer | A Titanic Conspiracy
John Hamer, a former IT professional turned geopolitical researcher, has spent over two decades uncovering the truth behind historical events often shrouded in deception. He has authored eight books, including the widely recognized The Falsification of History, which challenges mainstream narratives. Among his notable works - and the focus of this episode - are two books on the Titanic, where he presents compelling evidence that it was not the RMS Titanic but its sister ship, RMS Olympic, that sank in 1912.

Ep 197 - Nash Mackey | Death: Finding the Silver Lining
In our opinion, this is one of the most important conversations we’ve ever had.
Nash, a leading Australian Breakthrough Coach, shares his deeply personal story of losing both of his siblings within a very short period of time.

He delves into navigating death in a death-phobic culture, offering insights into finding courage and purpose even in the darkest of times.
Joel also shares a personal story of his family’s miscarriage experience, leading to a meaningful discussion on finding the silver lining in death and reframing it as an opportunity for balance and growth. Through this conversation, listeners are invited to explore how resilience, perspective, and a commitment to personal mastery can transform even the most profound loss into a path toward healing and strength.

Ep 194 - Mollie Engelhart | The Truth At All Costs
Mollie Engelhart is a trailblazer in regenerative farming and health freedom advocacy. As a mother of five, she shares her journey from running Sage Vegan Bistro to transforming it into Sage: A Regenerative Kitchen, incorporating regenerative meat and dairy while eliminating seed oils. In this diverse conversation, we discuss the misinformation surrounding “geriatric” pregnancies and medicalized births, drawing from Mollie’s experience of delivering three children at home. Her dedication to natural living and providing healthy food through her regenerative farm is truly inspiring.
Mollie also reveals the challenges she faced when the value of her business, once worth $25 million, took massive hits due to California lockdowns and her shift from a vegan-only restaurant. Our conversation explores the pitfalls of veganism as an ideology, the reality of death in all food processes, and the critical role of men in society. Mollie’s personal stories emphasize that what we think we want is not always what’s best for us. Her insights into the power of nature and her relationship with God offer a refreshing perspective on holistic living. This episode is a must-listen for anyone passionate about health, freedom, and sustainable living.
