What if your life changed in a single heartbeat?In this episode of the Rollercoaster Podcast, I sit down with Brigham and Lauren Richardson to unpack one of the most powerful survival stories I’ve ever heard. A weekend dirt bike trip turned into a nightmare when Brigham lost control, fell 75 feet off a cliff in Moab, and nearly lost his life. What followed was a blur of surgeries, internal bleeding, shattered bones, depression, and the painful fight to survive and then, to walk again.But this episode isn’t just about trauma. It’s about marriage, faith, mental health, and resilience. Lauren shares what it was like receiving that phone call, navigating the unknown, and becoming Brigham’s anchor through months of recovery and setbacks.Brigham opens up about waking up in the ICU unable to speak, feeling hopeless, and battling suicidal thoughts, all while learning to eat, talk, and move again from scratch. The fact that he’s here today, walking and healing, is nothing short of a miracle.🎧 Listen if you’ve ever faced a rock bottom and wondered if you’d make it back.👉 Hit play and hear why Brigham’s story has left a lasting impact on everyone who hears it.Key Moments:0:00 The Crash That Changed Everything4:47 Second Accident: The Fall That Nearly Killed Him9:31 How Lauren Prepared for the Worst13:21 Arrival at the ICU: Life or Death16:01 Brigham Flatlines in ER21:01 His First Signs of Life28:01 Battle with Depression and Suicidal Thoughts32:20 Rock Bottom: “I Wish They Hadn’t Resuscitated Me”36:14 12 Surgeries and Broken Bones42:18 Gaining a New Level of Empathy for Chronic Pain47:01 Searching for Purpose After Survival51:01 Brigham’s Fight to Be Accepted into Rehab
This episode shook me.I sat down with John “Goob” Dorsey, fitness coach, content creator, and fearless internet watchdog, and what started as a conversation about the dangers of an unregulated substance called 7-OH (Seven-oh) quickly unraveled into something far darker.John exposes a growing epidemic: a synthetic compound more addictive than morphine, sold legally at gas stations and smoke shops, destroying lives with zero consequences. We talk Reddit forums, withdrawal stories, and the shocking lack of oversight fueling this silent crisis.But that’s just the beginning.We also dive into the disturbing world of predator behavior on Roblox, a platform marketed to children yet infested with sexual content and loopholes predators exploit daily. As a dad, that hit me hard.From fake influencers and online scams to pedophile stings and vigilante justice, John pulls no punches. He calls out creeps, frauds, and hypocrites in ways that make you uncomfortable and that's the point.This isn’t just a podcast episode. It’s a wake-up call.If you’ve ever wondered what’s really happening behind the filters and facades of the internet, this conversation is unmissable.Key Moments:0:00 The Silent Epidemic: What Is 7-OH?4:33 Breaking Down the Science Behind 7-OH7:01 Mislabeling & Misleading: How Users Are Tricked10:55 Roblox Exposé: The Predator Playground13:15 The Raw Reality of Online Child Exploitation23:02 Calling Out the Internet’s Worst27:58 The Pedophile Who Tried to Frame Someone Else35:03 Revenge, Receipts & Reddit42:59 The Daycare Pedophile Who Jumped Off a Bridge45:14 Why Naming & Shaming Still MattersGuest Info:IG: @goob_u2 (https://www.instagram.com/goob_u2/?hl=en)Website: www.goobutraining.com (https://goobutraining.com/)
In this episode of The Roller Coaster Podcast, I sat down with Billy McFarland, yes, that Billy, the mastermind behind the Fyre Festival. But this isn’t a story of excuses or spin. It’s an unfiltered, emotional conversation about ambition, delusion, and the high cost of chasing validation at any cost.Billy opens up about the exact moment he lied to an investor, the deep regret that still keeps him awake at night, and what it felt like to lose everything, freedom, reputation, and trust. We talk about solitary confinement, broken relationships, redemption, and the hard lessons learned inside federal prison.But we also talk about what’s next. Billy’s stepping into a new chapter, owning his past, paying restitution, and building a product focused on what he does best: getting attention.This episode isn’t about defending a scandal. It’s about humanising the person behind it, and what happens when the world watches you fall. If you’ve ever made a mistake, felt the weight of your choices, or wondered what true redemption looks like, this one’s for you.Listen now.Key Moments:0:00 The Call That Changed Everything2:49 The Moral Weight of Betrayal5:48 The Lies That Made It Worse10:21 The Arrest Timeline16:54 His Take on the Netflix Doc20:57 Clearing Up the Bahamas Rumour24:01 Prison Surprises30:00 The Darkest Days Behind Bars34:02 Who Stayed, Who Left37:36 COVID in Prison: Ice Cubes & Strip Searches40:15 Redemption, Responsibility & Rebuilding TrustGuest Info:IG: @pyrtbilly (https://www.instagram.com/pyrtbilly/?hl=en)X: @pyrtbilly (https://x.com/pyrtbilly?lang=en)
What would you do if the love of your life was taken too soon?In this deeply emotional episode, I sit down with Pete Rendina, a husband, father, and author whose world turned upside down when his wife, Kylie, passed away in April 2024 after a relentless battle with cancer. Pete flew in from Michigan to join me in person and share a story that broke me… and will likely break you too.We talk about love, loss, and legacy. About raising kids as a single dad. About the fear of goodbye and the promises whispered at a hospital bedside. And we talk about God, because it’s Pete’s faith that’s holding him together.Pete doesn’t sugarcoat the pain. He opens up about the dark nights, the signs he sees from Kylie, the moments with his kids that keep him going, and how writing and faith are helping him rebuild.Whether you're grieving, healing, or just need a reminder of what truly matters, this one will stay with you.Key Moments:0:00 The Call That Changed Everything2:38 Falling in Love with Kylie5:22 A Surprise Baby & A Shocking Diagnosis10:00 The Cancer Returns13:20 Admitted to the ICU16:40 Saying Goodbye20:08 Becoming a Single Dad25:06 Finding Beauty in the Grief28:03 Talking to the Kids About Mom34:04 A New Life Devoted to Faith and Fatherhood44:36 Final Message to Those Who Are SufferingGuest Info:IG: peteyluv13 (https://www.instagram.com/peteyluv13/?hl=en)
In this very first episode of my You First series, we’re flipping the script on what it means to be a man in today’s world. I sit down with two incredible guests, Adam Allred and Travis Prince, to have an honest, unfiltered conversation about something men rarely talk about: self-care.This isn’t about bubble baths and face masks (though there’s nothing wrong with those). This is about learning how to truly show up for ourselves, mentally, physically, and emotionally, so we can show up better for the people we love. Adam, with his grounded wisdom, and Travis, with his raw, lived experience, open up about their own journeys, the struggles, the breakthroughs, and the habits that keep them grounded.We talk about the quiet weight men carry, the pressure to be “strong” at all costs, and why prioritising yourself is not selfish, it’s essential. If you’ve ever felt burnt out, disconnected, or like you’re just going through the motions, this conversation is a reminder: your needs matter too.Men’s self-care isn’t a luxury. It’s survival. And it starts here, with you first.Key Moments:0:00 Why Men’s Self-Care Matters6:08 Adam’s Turning Point10:45 Travis on Hitting Burnout20:41 Habits That Keep Them Balanced31:52 “You Can’t Pour From an Empty Cup”42:18 Finding Brotherhood and Support as Men53:47 The Power of Vulnerability in Male Friendships1:02:16 Overcoming the Fear of Being Judged1:15:09 How Faith and Spirituality Influence Self-Care1:24:18 A Challenge to Put Yourself First1:32:47 Building a Life You Don’t Need to Escape From1:37:12 “It’s Not Selfish, It’s Survival”Guests Info:IG: @adamallredofficial (https://www.instagram.com/adamallredofficial/?hl=en)IG: @travis_prince (https://www.instagram.com/travis_prince/?hl=en)
This is the hardest episode I’ve ever recorded.Marc and Holly Cram sat down with me to share the unfiltered, gut-wrenching story of losing their 13-year-old son, Beckham, in a tragic drowning accident. Holly opens up about the very fear she’d carried for years, her child drowning, becoming her reality. We walk through the moment it happened, the chaos that followed, and the sacred, soul-shifting days that came next.But this isn’t just a story about loss. It’s about love, connection, and the invisible bridge between this world and the next. Marc and Holly speak candidly about how Beckham still communicates with them, how trauma freezes in the body, and how intentional healing has rebuilt their marriage and redefined their faith.We also talk about Holly’s new course, How to Speak to God, a powerful invitation to reconnect with your own divine guidance, no matter your beliefs.This episode will break your heart and put it back together in the most unexpected ways. If you’ve ever lost someone or wondered what healing could really look like… this conversation is for you.Key Moments:0:00 The Moment Every Parent Fears2:49 “Beckham Was the Bridge”6:35 The Dream That Haunted Her17:11 Processing the Loss as a Family23:23 Connecting with Beckham28:49 Helping Marc Hear Him Too31:03 “Dad, This Is Awesome”36:05 How Ashton’s Life Was Changed40:55 Trauma Stored in the Body57:03 “You Have to Feel It to Heal It”1:07:02 Clearing the Heart to Hear God1:18:05 A Message to Mothers in PainGuests Info:IG: marccram13 (https://www.instagram.com/p/DMRTNMOzSAI/?hl=en)IG: holly_cram_ (https://www.instagram.com/holly_cram_/)Website: howtospeaktogod.com (https://howtospeaktogod.com/)-Where to find Tyler Hall: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tylerchall/ Newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/the-tyler-hall-archives-7018241874482122753/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/sirTHALL Work with Tyler: https://www.tylerchristianhall.com/
Warning: This episode contains graphic discussions of child exploitation and abuse.In this episode, I sit down with Paul Hutchinson, entrepreneur, undercover operative, and producer of The Sound of Freedom, for one of the most emotional and confronting conversations I’ve ever had. Paul opens up about the darkest corners of the world he’s entered to rescue children and the toll it’s taken on his life, his soul, and his healing journey.We talk about the myths and heartbreaking stories he’s witnessed firsthand, and why awareness alone isn’t enough. Paul doesn’t shy away from the controversy; he addresses recent media accusations head-on and shares what it really means to put your life on the line to save others.But this episode isn’t just about darkness, it’s about healing. Paul shares how plant-based therapy, spiritual surrender, and radical self-forgiveness changed his life, and how his healing retreats are now doing the same for survivors.If you’re a parent, a truth-seeker, or someone who’s ever wondered how to protect your family in a broken world, this conversation is for you.Key Moments:0:00 The Mother Who Tried to Sell Her Daughters5:29 The Truth About Child Exploitation10:14 Abuse Happens in Our Own Neighbourhoods16:01 Unconditional Love and Healthy Self-Esteem25:11 Warning Signs of Grooming31:23 The Shame Survivors Carry42:04 Why Paul Left Operation Underground Railroad51:04 The Prayer That Led to a Miracle1:00:00 “I Didn’t Think Anyone Would Come”1:17:18 From Mansion and Strippers to Healing Retreats1:28:31 Why Psychedelics Need a Safe Container1:38:20 33 Years to Heal the WorldGuest Info:IG: @liberating.humanity (https://www.instagram.com/liberating.humanity/)IG: @childliberationfoundation (https://www.instagram.com/childliberationfoundation/)-Where to find Tyler Hall: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tylerchall/ Newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/the-tyler-hall-archives-7018241874482122753/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/sirTHALL Work with Tyler: https://www.tylerchristianhall.com/

What started as a rocky first impression turned into a brotherhood rooted in honesty, accountability, and unconditional support.Heston opens up about surviving a life-altering car accident, his journey through self-doubt, and the pivotal moment that helped him believe he was enough. From shedding 55 pounds to reshaping his mindset, he shares how the Levels retreat and the men who showed up there helped change the trajectory of his life.We talk about what real friendship looks like, how powerful it is to have a 2am call friend, and why your circle can either limit or launch you.

I sat down with Eric Johnson, and I don’t think I was fully prepared for what he would share. His story is one of brutal honesty, unimaginable loss, addiction, prison, and ultimately, redemption.Eric takes us into the darkest corners of his past: witnessing a friend take his life, spiraling into meth addiction, and spending nearly a decade behind bars. He opens up about life inside solitary confinement, the trauma that haunted him, and the small, consistent choices that led him back to hope.But this isn’t just a story of survival, it’s a story of transformation. From being featured on national news for his crimes to building a life of purpose, Eric has clawed his way back. Today, he’s three years sober, raising his daughter, and helping others break free from addiction through programs like Hope for Prisoners.If you’ve ever felt too far gone, this episode is for you.

In this episode of The Roller Coaster Podcast, I sit down once again with my friend James Dykes, one of the few guests we’ve ever invited back. The first time James shared his story, it reached tens of millions of people across social media. But behind the viral numbers was a man who walked through unthinkable loss, the death of his wife, deep grief, and personal trauma, and still chose to show up with vulnerability and faith.This time, we go even deeper. James opens up about the emotional aftermath of sharing his story with the world, the love, the hate, the healing, and the spiritual wrestle that followed. We talk about fatherhood, men’s mental health, navigating grief publicly, and how suffering has shaped his faith and purpose. He shares how his pain has now become a catalyst for writing, for building community, and for stepping into a life of coaching, consulting, and hope.If you’re carrying something heavy, this episode is a reminder: you’re not alone.James’s honesty will challenge you, comfort you, and move you to believe that beauty still rises from the ashes.Key Moments:0:00 The Viral Reel That Changed Everything3:12 Why We Had to Do This Again8:53 Surrendering the Outcome12:33 The Pain Behind the Hate17:26 Finding a Brotherhood in Grief23:42 The Power of Not Being Alone28:26 Holding Space for Both Joy and Sorrow33:13 James’s Lifelong Journey Through Suffering36:50 Returning to the Garden42:53 A Vision for Leadership and Wholeness46:04 Reading the Testimony54:28 A Message to the LonelyGuest Info:IG: @jamesdykes1987 (https://www.instagram.com/jamesdykes1987/)-Where to find Tyler Hall: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tylerchall/ Newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/the-tyler-hall-archives-7018241874482122753/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/sirTHALL Work with Tyler: https://www.tylerchristianhall.com/
This is one of the most powerful conversations I’ve ever had on the podcast.My guest, Chris Williams, shares the heartbreaking story of losing his pregnant wife and two of his children in a tragic car crash caused by a drunk driver.

Not years later… but immediately.In this episode, Chris walks us through the unimaginable trauma of that night, the soul-crushing grief that followed, and the quiet, spiritual strength that helped him survive it.

She speaks with unflinching honesty about grief, guilt, and the isolation that often surrounds men struggling in silence. But this isn’t just a story of loss, it’s one of healing, faith, and rebuilding.We talk about how she found breathwork, leaned into community, and slowly learned to move through the pain rather than avoid it. Melissa’s journey is a lifeline for anyone touched by addiction, suicide, or grief.If you’ve ever wondered what it really takes to survive the unimaginable, this conversation is for you.Key Moments:0:01 Melissa Methven opens up5:54 Hope Before the Darkness7:25 My Husband's Sudden Shift10:15 The Emergency Response13:01 Waiting for the News21:07 The Moment He Passed24:00 My Son Said He Didn’t Want to Live28:00 Midnight Grief & Balcony Phone Calls31:15 Discovering Breathwork40:17 Returning to Routine47:02 Moving to Arizona56:58 Breaking the Silence in Dentistry1:01:19 Addiction and the Mask of Success1:05:52 The Power of Community and Vulnerability1:08:21 Her Final PleaGuest Info:IG - https://www.instagram.com/melissa_gratitude/?hl=enWebsite - https://www.melissagratitude.life/-Where to find Tyler Hall: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tylerchall/ Newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/the-tyler-hall-archives-7018241874482122753/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/sirTHALL Work with Tyler: https://www.tylerchristianhall.com/
I sat down with Jason Richardson, founder and CEO of Bad Birdie, the boldest brand in golf, to talk about what it really takes to build something that matters.

Jason opens up about fatherhood, the emotional weight of building a brand people feel, and what it means to “stay bad” in a world that rewards playing it safe. We talk Shark Tank, near meltdowns, betting on yourself, and why the brand is the business.You’ll also hear some hilarious stories, get a behind-the-scenes look at collabs with Taco Bell and YouTube stars like Micah Morris, and learn what Jason would build if Bad Birdie had its own video game or country club.This conversation isn’t just about golf or apparel; it’s about showing up differently, taking risks, and creating something unforgettable.Key Moments:0:00 Why Brand Is Everything5:09 The Birth of Bad Birdie10:00 The Core of a Great Apparel Brand13:14 Brand Is a Feeling, Not Just a Logo18:04 Behind the Scenes of Shark Tank24:55 The Bad Birdie Reserve Line28:16 From Polos to Golf Bags33:36 YouTube Golf & Micah Morris39:10 Could You Win the Masters From the Green?42:39 What Would a Bad Birdie Country Club Look Like?45:50 Would You Rather: Tiger Woods or a Solo 65?50:50 What’s Next for Bad BirdieGuest Info:IG: @badbirdiegolf (https://www.instagram.com/badbirdiegolf/)Website: https://badbirdiegolf.com/-Where to find Tyler Hall: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tylerchall/ Newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/the-tyler-hall-archives-7018241874482122753/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/sirTHALL Work with Tyler: https://www.tylerchristianhall.com/

Colby’s a former corporate exec turned founder of Heva Health, a company on a mission to build generational health, not just generational wealth.We dive deep into the crisis we’re facing in America around food, chronic illness, obesity, and misinformation, and how most of it is preventable. Colby shares powerful stories of patients, parents, and personal experiences that highlight just how much our health choices ripple into our children’s lives.

In this episode, I sit down with my good friend Daniel Goulding, pastor, father, and survivor for one of the most raw and redemptive conversations I’ve ever had on the show. Daniel shares his journey of being sexually abused as a child, burying that trauma for years, and the chaos that followed from addiction and self-destruction to a near-suicide attempt in a drug dealer’s bathroom. But this story isn’t just about pain, it’s about grace, healing, and transformation.Daniel opens up about the moment everything shifted: when he cried out to God, not knowing if He was even real, and felt peace for the first time. We explore the beauty of redemption, what it means to forgive the unforgivable, and how he went from broken addict to preaching the Gospel and baptizing dozens at his own church.If you’ve ever doubted God’s presence in your darkest moments, this one's for you.

This is the most vulnerable conversation I’ve ever shared on the podcast. My guest, Liz Hartke, opens up about the day she gave birth to her stillborn son and nearly lost her own life. What unfolded was a series of medical oversights, a last-minute surgery, and a divine moment of surrender that changed everything. Liz shares the harrowing details of hemorrhaging alone in an ER, the nurse who saved her life by speaking up, and the spiritual clarity she gained when she thought she wouldn’t make it home to her children.This episode is about more than trauma. It’s about faith in the fire, how God meets us in our darkest hour, and what it truly means to surrender your will. Liz’s story is a testimony to trusting the divine even when the outcome is unknown, and it will shake you, soften you, and maybe even help you find clarity in your own calling.If you’re a mother, a leader, or someone wrestling with purpose or grief, this episode is for you.Key Moments:3:02 Pregnancy joy turns to heartbreak9:03 A desperate plea for surgery13:59 A miracle in the OR17:39 A vow to live differently24:00 Tyler shares his own moment of hopelessness29:00 The intuition of a mother37:00 Why some survive and others don’t41:00 Can you change without suffering?45:00 The eulogy exercise that changed lives54:00 Learning to hear God’s voice1:00:11 Motherhood, guilt, and calling1:10:00 Defining your life planGuest Info:IG: https://www.instagram.com/elizhartke/Website: https://luminaryleadershipco.com/-Where to find Tyler Hall: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tylerchall/ Newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/the-tyler-hall-archives-7018241874482122753/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/sirTHALL Work with Tyler: https://www.tylerchristianhall.com/
