The Great Reassessment
We are living in an age I like to call "The Great Reassessment." This podcast is eclectic in nature and focuses on exploring topics where people are often told not to question or challenge the accepted narrative. With my experienced guests, I explore areas of health, economics, Christianity, Bitcoin and history. An awakening is happening, let's pull back the curtain.
