    Harvard, Hamas, and the Barbaric Death Of Discourse In The West | Direct Message Nov 22, 2023
    Show notes

    The barbarians are at the gates, and we created them. The kids who’ve terrorized speakers on college campuses and HR departments in Fortune 100 companies. The kids who scream and cry and throw temper tantrums on TikTok over trivial encounters with ideas they dislike. The kids who believe speech is violence AND silence is violence. The kids who took to the streets and burned our cities after the death of one man, yet now come out in explicit support of the barbaric murder of more than 1400 innocent civilians in Israel.


    Why call them “kids”? Because they are OUR kids. And it’s OUR fault.


    We’ve coddled and encouraged a generation of barbarians through both intentional activism, confusion, and neglect. We’ve allowed our education institutions from K-through-PhD to be captured by the enemies of civilization itself and transformed into barbarian incubators. Our media and politics have not only cheered this on, but profiteered from it at every turn.


    And now, they are the barbarians inside our gates. And if we don’t do something about this right now, they will tear civilization itself to the ground. As a father of a high school senior, our family is looking at all of this in shock and horror. The stakes for my son’s future are high. And the stakes for our civilization are even higher.

    Greg Lukianoff On Cancel Culture, Free Speech & Censorship | The Show Nov 10, 2023
    Show notes

    Greg Lukianoff, a First Amendment lawyer and President of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE), dives headfirst into the pressing issues of free speech and the impact of cancel culture in academia. Lukianoff discusses the troubling trends at prestigious universities, where ideological bias butts up against claims of political neutrality, especially highlighted during recent intense protests over the Israel-Hamas conflict. He presents a compelling, data-backed narrative from his latest book, The Canceling of the American Mind, co-authored with Rikki Schlott, revealing how a culture of censorship is stifling discourse and academic freedom.


    Lukianoff is also known for co-authoring The Coddling of the American Mind with Jonathan Haidt.

    UATX Is Bringing Elevated Discourse Back To Higher Education | The Show Nov 02, 2023
    Show notes

    Liberal arts education once cultivated well-rounded, critically thinking individuals who would become our future innovators and leaders. However, in recent years, intellectual diversity, curiosity, and discourse have departed the halls of our most elite universities. Pano Kanelos, the founding president of UATX, believes that ideological capture and the overall homogenization of higher education are to blame.


    UATX, the University of Austin, has emerged as a reason for hope amidst negative trends at mainstream universities. This radical new experiment in higher education is putting quintessential liberal values at the center of the conversation. A graduate of UATX won’t just be an adept thinker, but an engaged, innovative citizen.

    Jim “Mattress Mack” McIngvale Bets Big On His Community | The Show Oct 19, 2023
    Show notes

    Jim "Mattress Mack" McIngvale, the iconic face of Houston’s Gallery Furniture, has crafted a business empire that’s as much about community as it is about comfy mattresses.


    Mack recounted his journey into the furniture business, from first discovering his sense of motivation to persuading his future wife to move to Houston and risk it all on a furniture store. More recently, he’s made waves by placing staggering sports bets, including a record-breaking $75 million on the Houston Astros for the World Series. Calling on his time-tested, over-the-top marketing style, Mack turned a gamble into a win-win for both him and his customers to the tune of $76 million in sales.


    Beyond business and bets, Mack opened up about his dedication to family and community. A staunch believer in the revitalizing and empowering essence of work, Mack is full of endearing stories and good old fashioned wisdom.

    Jay Glazer Turned Anxiety And Depression Into Motivation | The Show Sep 21, 2023
    Show notes

    Jay Glazer has broken some of the biggest stories in NFL history, yet behind the scenes, he faces a different battle. In his book Unbreakable, Jay courageously shares his struggle against what he calls ‘the gray’. It's a raw and inspiring account of his life-long battle with anxiety and depression and his quest to help others struggling with the same issues.


    No matter how hard it can be, it's crucial that we open up about our personal struggles with those who care about us. More often than not, those close to us will be grateful for our honesty and will be ready to offer a comforting presence. It's also essential to surround ourselves with a supportive team of individuals whose shoulders we can lean on in times of need. Together, we can create a network of strength and resilience.


    Jay, alongside former NFL player and Special Forces veteran Nate Boyer, founded MVP - Merging Vets and Players - to take his mental health mission even further. MVP has created a unique network of support between veterans and retired professional athletes and is saving lives in the process. In our conversation, we delve into the depths of Jay's journey, uncovering the strength and resilience that lies within each of us.

    Adam Curry Defined MTV, Invented Podcasting, And Found God | The Show Aug 24, 2023
    Show notes

    Adam Curry first became a household name as an MTV VJ, but that was only the start of his nearly four-decade crusade to revolutionize media. Since childhood, he has been obsessed with using cutting-edge technology to improve the ways that humans communicate ideas, from building MTV’s first website to bringing Bitcoin micropayment to podcasting.


    Adam’s career has always been about pushing boundaries, in more ways than one. He’s known for exploring some of the wildest conspiracy theories on his popular podcast “No Agenda,” but recently he’s been diving into a new theory - faith in God. Adam’s recent turn towards Christianity has brought a profound layer to his already rich tapestry of experiences. Join me as I unravel the fascinating intersections of media, innovation, and faith in my conversation with Adam Curry.

    Today Show’s Craig Melvin Learned Forgiveness By Becoming A Father | The Show Aug 10, 2023
    Show notes

    You probably recognize Craig Melvin as a seasoned journalist and the co-host of The Today Show on NBC, but what you might not know is that he had to navigate addiction and generational fatherlessness in his own family to get there.
    Craig documents this tumultuous journey in his book Pops, including how he learned to become a better father himself in the process. Now he uses his TV platform to celebrate fatherhood with his Dads Got This! series. As parents we all want to be the best version of ourselves for our kids, regardless of our own family circumstances, and Craig Melvin has accomplished exactly that.
