• 23 Years In The Army: Addicted & Broken — How God Saved His Life
    Apr 25 2025

    Send us a text

    Today, I sit down with U.S. Army veteran Ryan Reichert to explore a life marked by resilience, recovery, and unshakable faith. From childhood dreams of West Point to commanding troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, Ryan opens up about the highs and lows of his 23-year military career. He shares how early injuries and prescription medications led to a long battle with addiction—a struggle that he would face for decades, often in silence, while leading soldiers and managing responsibilities as a high-ranking officer.

    Mr. Reichert discusses how post-retirement life brought new challenges, including personal failures, broken relationships, and a relapse into addiction. He follows this with his journey to sobriety, the deep pain of divorce, and how discovering a renewed relationship with God helped him rebuild his life with purpose and clarity.

    We both share about the power of vulnerability, the importance of mental health support, and the role of spiritual grounding in healing.

  • Season 7 Premiere: Couple O' Nukes? No... Just A Nuke
    Apr 23 2025

    Send us a text

    After six seasons, consisting of 163 published episodes and 50+ deleted or archived ones, I reflect on the past two years and some months since I officially started podcasting.

    Now a bi-daily show, I started with poor quality episodes being released every few weeks. I was inconsistent and not the best host nor a well-spoken guest. The show started as a niched-down place specifically for Naval Nuclear Operators, then to military mental health, and then to everyone.

    I reflect on the show logos of the past and the future projects to come. I also share about the pivot toward speaking, comedy, writing, networking, and community-building through Couple O' Nukes.

    Here's to all the episodes past, and those yet to come!

  • Where Is King David Now? Prophecy, Poetry, And The Covenant Explored
    Apr 21 2025

    Send us a text

    Today, I am joined by David Richards—a Marine veteran, author, and deep theological thinker—to explore the complexities of King David’s story in scripture and its profound implications on modern faith. We dive into the controversial legacy of King David, dissecting his triumphs, his sins, and the prophetic implications of the Davidic Covenant. The discussion highlights how David’s life reflects the tension between divine promise and human failure, challenging us to examine what redemption and grace really mean.

    David Richards shares his powerful personal journey, including a near-death experience in childhood that sparked his early awareness of the soul, as well as a military career shaped by global travel, combat experience, and poetic expression. We get into masculinity and emotional expression, connecting the biblical examples of King David and Solomon to the modern man’s struggle to embrace vulnerability and creativity—particularly through poetry and faith.

    We then get into a riveting discussion of biblical prophecy, Jesus’ genealogy, quantum theology, and the mystery of David’s salvation. Mr. Richards draws parallels between ancient scripture and modern psychological and philosophical frameworks, asking us to reflect on their own spiritual paths. He also shares about his books, as well as the role of Norse mythology in the Holocaust.

  • Recreating Epic Poetry With The Intention Of Female Empowerment
    Apr 17 2025

    Send us a text

    Are you someone who enjoys Epic Poetry, but you wish that there were women in them that weren't antagonists or damsels in distress? Peter Gunn felt the same way, and wanting to inspire his daughter and other young women to enjoy Epic Poetry and feel related to, he set out to create a new style of Epic Poetry.

    Mr. Gunn discusses his journey from the U.S. Air Force to the frontlines of modern literature. We get into our passion for epic poetry and the origins of his groundbreaking work, The Amazons. Mr. Gunn introduces us to Linked Lyrical Poetry (LLP), a demanding and innovative poetic form that links rhyming words between sentences and blends the rhythm of rap with the scope of heroic epics. He explains the inspirations behind his work, his daughter's influence, and why he believes it’s time women wield the sword in literature—not just the walking stick.

    The conversation navigates themes of gender representation in classical storytelling, military culture, and literary rebellion. Mr. Gunn opens up about the literary void he discovered when searching for heroic narratives for women, and how that realization drove him to craft stories that merge masculine and feminine energies in meaningful ways. He also talks candidly about the backlash from editors, the difficulty of creating LLP, and the artistic freedom required to bring new genres into existence.

    I ask Mr. Gunn about his other current and upcoming projects, and he shares his commitment to empowering readers—especially women—to defy social expectations and pursue their callings with courage.

  • Jacopo Iasiello's Blueprint For Being Healthy, Rich, And Happy
    Apr 15 2025

    Send us a text

    Today, I utilize my Italian genetics to have an especially great conversation with Jacopo Iasiello, author of Healthy, Rich, and Happy—to explore his journey from professional athlete dreams to building a multimillion-dollar real estate empire.

    After a career-ending injury halted his pursuit of soccer, Mr. Iasiello pivoted to entrepreneurship at just 18 years old, launching a jewelry business in Italy with the help of a government program. He shares the raw truth about starting with nothing, failing, and rising again through the mindset of discipline, research, and daily action.

    Mr. Iasiello breaks down the four foundational steps that changed his life: research, growth, action, and contribution. Listeners will learn how to develop an entrepreneurial mindset, access startup funding (even with no connections), and avoid common mistakes in business. Mr. Iasiello shares his MPBE method—Meditation, Prayer, Biohacking, and Exercise—which forms the foundation of his physical health and mental wellness.

    We both reflect on the "grass is always greener" concept, the different privileges of various countries, happiness, and wealth.

  • Integrating Comedy Into A Podcast To Address Dark Subjects (Podcast Movement Evolutions Chicago 2025)
    Apr 13 2025

    Send us a text

    Again, what an amazing opportunity and privilege it was to have spoken at Podcast Movement Evolutions 2025 in Chicago. I traveled for 27 hours straight, in order to give the talk, and I'm grateful for everyone who attended.

    With my signature blend of humility, humor, and hard-earned wisdom, I share about the art of integrating comedy into conversations about heavy topics like suicide prevention, trauma recovery, and addiction awareness. I also discuss the delicate balance required to maintain authenticity and authority as a podcaster in today's fast-paced, content-driven world.

    I guide us through the core principles that shape a successful show: consistency, transparency, audience alignment, and reputation management.

    Additionally, I share about my own podcasting journey — from a Navy nuclear operator to a multi-faceted entrepreneur — and how Couple O' Nukes evolved into a vehicle for healing, mentorship, and laughter. I emphasize that not all podcasts are built for comedy, and integrating humor should be done with clarity, communication, and a deep understanding of your audience.

    Whether you're a newcomer or seasoned creator, you'll gain invaluable insights into ethical guesting, emotional safety, and the growing influence of AI in podcast content strategy.

  • When Pigs Fly: Resilience, Dream Achievement, And Pursuing Passion
    Apr 11 2025

    Send us a text

    Today, I reconnect with coach, speaker, and author Martin Pigg, whose incredible life journey embodies resilience, passion, and purpose. From recovering after a devastating injury to embracing competitive bodybuilding in his 50s, Mr. Pigg shares how fitness became a form of therapy and a tribute to his mother. His story highlights how the gym, once a birthday gift from his mom, became a sacred space of healing and growth.

    The conversation dives into Mr. Pigg's transformation from a prison guard to a six-figure sales manager, and ultimately to his dream life as a personal development coach, pilot, and author. Mr. Pigg then breaks down his signature concept—The PIGG Principle—which stands for Passion, Intention, Gratitude, and Grace. He discusses how pursuing your passion with clear intent can uncover your life’s purpose and radically change your trajectory, sharing that it's never too late to go after your dreams, regardless of age or past hardship.

  • Burnout, Breakdown, Breakthrough: A Doctor’s Discovery Of Mind Clearing
    Apr 9 2025

    Send us a text

    Today, we're sailing out with Dr. Alain Salas, a French-born chiropractor, cranial specialist, and the creator of the transformational practice known as Mind Clearing. What begins as a discussion about living on a sailboat in the south of France quickly evolves into a profound exploration of personal healing, emotional trauma, and the subconscious programming that silently shapes our lives.

    Dr. Salas opens up about his pursuit of freedom after knowing that he had a calling to help people, his burnout in clinical practice, and how marital trouble and a cancer diagnosis became the catalyst for a total reinvention of self and mission. He reveals how traditional chiropractic care, though effective, only scratches the surface when it comes to lasting transformation. That realization led him to develop Mind Clearing, a holistic healing approach that treats not just the physical body, but the mental, emotional, and spiritual imprints that silently sabotage our health, relationships, and prosperity.

    Together, we discuss everything from subconscious reprogramming, inner child wounds, and emotional resistance to the power of faith, divine timing, and taking aligned action.
