I sat down with Glenn Jacobs—better known to millions as former pro wrestler Kane—to explore his transformation from WWE superstar to liberty-minded mayor of Knox County, Tennessee. Glenn explains how backstage politics in pro wrestling compare to the “kayfabe” of American politics, where performance often masks the real alliances and centers of power. We talk about his philosophical journey from political nomad to principled “conservatarian,” his belief in the necessity of masculinity, and his mission to limit government, protect liberty, and hold back the tide of cultural Marxism.

I sat down with “Dirty Jobs” host Mike Rowe to explore his philosophy of honest storytelling and hard work. In today’s social media-driven culture, reality TV and broadcast journalism cling to a pretense of truth that few actually believe in anymore, but Mike is committed to taking his own path. He reflects on the lessons he’s learned alongside tradespeople doing essential jobs that we take for granted. Mike digs deep into the meaning of masculinity, adulthood, and gratitude—and why these concepts are key to a life well lived.

I sat down with Lenore Skenazy, founder of the ‘free-range kids’ movement, to explore how fear-based parenting is holding our children back. Once dubbed “The World’s Worst Mom” for letting her 9-year-old ride the New York City subway alone, Lenore has since become a powerful voice challenging the culture of overprotection and anxiety that dominates American parenting. She explains how safetyism, media sensationalism, and misguided laws have created a generation of kids who are less confident, less capable, and more dependent than ever before. Lenore is also the co-founder of Let Grow, an organization dedicated to making it “easy, normal, and legal” to get kids out into the world.
