Beyond Joseph Campbell and The Hero's Journey with Peter Merrick
In his 20s, Peter J. Merrick was just like any other young person to start their career: brash, cocky, and full of himself.
It didn't take long for him to become disillusioned.
One book changed his life: Siddhartha by Herman Hesse. Within the pages he discovered that all men live through phases in life...from proving yourself, to giving back, Peter learned what each of us must do at each stage in our lives.
Peter has been on a mission to share with the next generation of men the simple, timeless truths that have made great leaders throughout every society...also Brad and Peter talk about the late great Tom "Too Tall" Cunningham.
Ask yourself: How can you help mentor the next generation of leaders?

Welcome to The Dugout with Casey Cavell
How does a Type A personality learn to relax? Casey Cavell shares his journey of building several successful small businesses, yet faced burn out...until a wiser, older investor offered another way.
"He taught me to value other people's contribution...before that, I pushed people the way I pushed myself: to the brink of exhaustion."

However, the business grew and operated out of my shill willpower and work ethic, eventually leading to burnout.
He learned how to build a business that didn't rely on his presence and implemented this proven process in each of his companies, efficiently removing myself from the day-to-day. As a result, the businesses performed better without him, granting himself the time to do what truly matters.

When Hollywood Calls, an interview with the Hardest Working Actor in Show Business, Joshua Schubart
If you've ever watched the Amazon Prime series The Tick, or Seven Seconds on Netflix, or High Maintenance on HBO, or After on the IFT Network, then you will recognize Joshua Schubart.
A big man with an even bigger heart, Josh sits down with Brad to open up about being homeless, growing up in foster care, and how acting and his foster parents, saved his life.
"Acting helped me to escape my situation at the time..."
Josh shares his emotional journey of landing the part of Frank on The Tick, the highs and lows of the acting world, working with Michael Cerveris, and the dream he never thought he'd achieve; being a good father.
Having graced the pages of GQ magazine as a "Brawny Model," and putting together his short series "The Transformation of Ben Grimm," It appears that Joshua will reach his ultimate goal—being cast in the MCU and working with Taika Waititi.
This is a fun episode for comic book nerds and film buffs alike as The Hardest Working Man in Show Business shares his life.
About Joshua Schubart:
Born and raised on Long Island, New York, Joshua Schubart has been working as a professional actor for over a decade.
Joshua had a tough childhood, growing up homeless and in the foster care system. At 14, his foster parents put him in Catholic school, and his life took a turn for the better. He discovered acting in his early teens, as an escape from his day-to-day challenges. He would often say that acting literally saved his life, giving him the drive and motivation to make his dreams come true. Joshua attended the Asolo Conservatory for actor training and got a BA in Acting from Stony Brook University. Upon graduation, he fully immersed himself in the craft, building a reputation as a hardworking and talented actor.
Joshua has been seen in projects ranging from small indie films to walking the boards at the Metropolitan Opera. Some of his recent work includes a recurring role in the Amazon series The Tick, and appearances in Seven Seconds (Netflix) and High Maintenance (HBO).
His voice can also be heard on a long list of audiobooks available on Amazon Audible, including Blue Summer, Lorelei and Blaze of Ecstasy.
In addition to acting, Joshua is a highly skilled stunt man/stage combatant, with training in hand-to-hand, almost every bladed weapon and most guns. Passionate as well about stepping behind the camera, Joshua is the co-founder of the production company 2 Ladies & A Giant. Together with his production company, Joshua created .After, a series about a widower navigating life and the dating scene after losing his wife. The series, starring Joshua, is a story of life, love, and rebirth, and streams on IFT Network.
Growing up reading comic books, Joshua hopes to work with Marvel in the near future. And working with Taika Waititi is a dream of his.
Also a plus size model, Joshua hopes his work in front and behind the camera will open doors for larger people in the industry, break the stereotypes, and prove that they are more than just the funny or bad guys.
In his free time Joshua likes to build computers, read, play different sports, and spend time with his wife and daughter. To learn more about Joshua, follow him on TikTok, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram at @Josh_Schubart.

Are Your Ready For The Ascension? Part 2: an interview with Jennie Byers
Jennie Byers returns in Part 2, to move past her ability to talk to your dead relatives who have passed on, and now connect you to the higher worlds of God.
Jennie opens up to Brad about The Source Field where creation began, reconnecting to God, the false timeline we are living under, and the return of human race to their true divine destiny.
This is a mind-blowing episode as Jennie unpacks the future of humanity.
About Jennie Byers:
Jennie Byers is a multi-dimensional, Living Light Language translator and the founder of Spirit Reunions Sanctuary, located in the Cherokee Mountains of East Tennessee.
The land sits on what is nicknamed the “Crystal Mountains'' which is in one of the largest vortex energy spots in the United States.
The property has been designated as a protected forest greenbelt and backs up to the Cherokee National Forest.
Jennie's mom, Kitti, was able to access and communicate in ascended dimensions when she was still alive. One day, her Spirit showed her a soul contract the two of them created before Jennie and her were born.
Kitti was shown that after death, she was going to move to the other side of the veil to assist Jennie in her spiritual awakening so they could work together on a common spiritual mission.
Shortly thereafter, although Kitti had been healthy her entire life, Kitti was diagnosed with Leukemia and left her physical body three weeks later at only 52 years of age.
Kitti now works closely with Jennie from the higher dimensions as her gatekeeper and spiritual partner. They work as a team to assist others to heal trauma and to re-connect with loved ones who have ascended to “Heaven".
Jennie accesses ascended realities and communicates information through an intelligent language her mom calls “Living Light Language”

"When I landed I couldn't see the damage. But I climbed down and was greeted by the Marine Corps firefighters,...and they look at me, then the plane then back at me, and lined up to shake my hand...and then I looked. There were over 600 bullet holes in the jet, and a gaping hole in the fuselage."
This is an interview you must listen to as Kim shares her epic experience of survival. Kim is the real Top Gun.

Founder of the Conservative Business Journal, John Di Lemme, returns to kick off Season 6, and man does he bring the thunder!
Starting out in life as the son of Italian immigrants, john was diagnosed as a stutterer at an early age, and spent decades working on himself, becoming an internationally known motivational speaker, author and business coach.
John shares with us how he was making over $400,000 a year on Youtube, yet was kicked off and demonetized for spreading the word about Conservative values, American Patriotism and the power of Capitalism to lift everyone out of poverty. John doesn't swear, nor does he delve into conspiracy theories. So why was he kicked off of YouTube?
From solid business advice, to God, Family and service to one's community, John shares his own journey and the frustration with the mainstream news that inspired him to start the CBJ...eventually sitting alongside to CNN and MSNBC at the Press table for major political events.
John is an intense speaker who doesn't mince words, and gets to the heart of any conversation by using a powerful vocabulary.

Wrongly Accused, an interview with January-6er Kirstyn Niemela
On January 6th, 2021, Kirstyn Niemela went to the United States Capitol in Washington, DC to hang out with friends, hear President Donald Trump speak, and to go on a guided tour inside the Capitol Building.
To her surprise, one year later, after a former friend and a relative reported her to investigators, without warning, Kirstyn was tackled to the ground and arrested in front of her place of work.
Despite being a lesbian activist, she has been labeled a "Proud Boy," and false charges levied against her including; "entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds," "disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds," "disorderly conduct in a Capitol Building" and "parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol Building."
These misdemeanor charges (a parking ticket is a misdemeanor), have been elevated to felony status.
The video footage of Niemela exposes the lie being told by the prosecution to discredit her for simply being a conservative, who refuses to admit to a crime SHE DID NOT COMMIT in order to obtain a lessor sentence.
This is a fascinating episode on Awakened Nation as a proud patriot exposes the deep state's mission and the abuse of power.
Insurrectionist, or Patriot? After watching the video footage, you decide.
