Nothing Left Unsaid

Fifteen-year NFL veteran Benjamin Watson opens up about the pressure that nearly broke him, how tying performance to self-worth led to anxiety, and the moment he began to find freedom again. In a raw conversation about faith, leadership, fatherhood, and life inside the locker room, Watson reflects on what it really takes to endure when winning is no longer enough.

Explorer Charlie Walker spent a month in a Russian prison cell with no idea if he’d be there for days, weeks, months, or years. What kept him going? The same mindset that carried him 43,000 miles by bicycle through 60+ countries, across frozen Siberian tundras, and through moments of crushing loneliness that tested him more than any physical challenge ever could. In this raw conversation, Charlie reveals what he learned about human kindness in the world’s most remote places, the shocking reality of Russian propaganda during the Ukraine invasion, and why the biggest frontier we face is not geographical—it’s our willingness to push beyond comfort and embrace the unknown. From surviving a bite from the world’s deadliest snake to finding unexpected hospitality in Iran, Charlie’s stories challenge everything we think we know about courage, vulnerability, and what it means to truly explore. ABOUT THE GUEST: Charlie Walker is a British explorer, author, and adventure travel writer who has cycled over 43,000 miles through more than 60 countries. His journeys have taken him to some of Earth’s most extreme environments—from camping in -50°C Siberian winters to trekking Papua New Guinea’s highlands. Praised by Sir Ranulph Fiennes for his grit, Charlie has spent 15 years seeking out the limits of both the map and the human spirit. His writing focuses on the intersection of adventure, culture, and the unspoken truths that emerge when you stand far outside your comfort zone.

Watch on YouTube → What does it cost to keep singing about hope when your heart is shattered, success feels hollow, and grief follows you onto the biggest stages in the world? Steven Curtis Chapman, the most awarded artist in Christian music history, five time Grammy winner, and the first contemporary Christian artist inducted into the Grand Ole Opry, joins Tim and Troy Green for a rare and unguarded conversation. This is not a highlight reel. It is the story of self doubt behind success, of nearly walking away from music, of adoption born from grace, and of worship sung in the shadow of unimaginable loss. Steven reflects on the fleeting highs of acclaim, the quiet weight of family and marriage, and how songs like “Cinderella” emerged from pain rather than polish. Together, they explore faith under pressure, hope forged through suffering, and why the most enduring music often comes from the darkest valleys. If you have ever questioned whether faith can survive profound loss, or whether calling and family can coexist under unbearable strain, this episode speaks directly to that place.

Watch on YouTube → https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VU65vnqkBmE When two of the world's leading ALS researchers meet for the first time on a podcast, something remarkable happens. Dr. Merit Cudkowicz - Tim's close friend and arguably the world's foremost ALS expert, returns to Nothing Left Unsaid for her third appearance, this time joined by Dr. Tanya Daigle from the Allen Institute, who's pioneering genetic tools that could transform how we treat neurodegenerative diseases. Together, they reveal a future for ALS research that's closer than most people realize. This isn't your typical medical conversation. Merit and Tanya speak with unguarded hope about gene therapies that have stopped disease progression in 40% of patients, AI-driven drug discovery that's accelerating at unprecedented rates, and precision targeting tools that could deliver treatments directly to dying motor neurons without invasive brain surgery. They discuss the real bottlenecks between laboratory breakthroughs and patient impact, why most ALS drug trials aren't actually failures, and how the field has evolved from a handful of researchers to a global collaborative effort spanning continents.

Shaka Senghor spent 19 years in prison, seven in solitary confinement for a murder he committed at 19. Instead of letting it destroy him, he turned his cell into a university, wrote four books, and discovered a purpose that would change everything. In this raw conversation, Shaka takes us from running away at 14 and being seduced into the drug trade, to the night he pulled the trigger that changed his life forever. He shares what solitary confinement really does to the human mind, the two letters that transformed him (one from his son, another from his victim's godmother offering forgiveness), and the unflinching truth about what's broken in America's criminal justice system. We also discuss his brother's murder in 2021, fatherhood, and the hidden prisons we all carry. Shaka Senghor is a New York Times bestselling author ("Writing My Wrongs," "How to Be Free"), criminal justice reform advocate, and former fellow at MIT. Since his release in 2010, he's spoken on stages from TED to Oprah's Super Soul Sunday, advised presidents and corporations, and become one of the most powerful voices on redemption and second chances in America. This conversation challenges everything you think you know about crime, punishment, and whether people can truly change. His message: “Never settle for mediocrity when greatness is available.” His books include: Newest release → How to Be Free: A Proven Guide to Escaping Life's Hidden Prisons Writing My Wrongs: Life, Death, and Redemption in an American Prison Letters to the Sons of Society Book Recommendations from Shaka: "As a Man Thinketh" by James Allen "The Hard Thing About Hard Things" by Ben Horowitz "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings" by Maya Angelou "Atomic Habits" by James Clear Organizations Mentioned: Anti-Recidivism Coalition (ARC) Syncopated Ladies (Chloe and Maud Arnold) CHAPTERS: 00:00 Trailer 00:59 Meet Tim Green 01:35 Introducing Shaka Senor 02:30 The Power to Change Your Life 04:38 The Need for Safety 06:43 The Path from Abuse to the Streets 11:58 The Impact of Gun Violence 15:54 Inside Solitary Confinement 18:59 The Journey of Self-Improvement 21:30 The Road to Redemption 32:46 The Power of Forgiveness 33:26 The Three Miracles and Mentorship 34:03 A Father's Turning Point 34:47 The Power of Writing in Prison 36:37 Feedback and Growth as a Writer 37:59 Exploring Faith and Spirituality 40:57 Conversations with My Sons 44:05 Reforming the Incarceration System 52:20 Personal Reflections and Achievements 59:39 Final Thoughts and Recommendations 01:01:02 Rapid Fire Questions SPONSORS: ElevenLabs: Thanks to ElevenLabs (https://elevenlabs.io) for supporting this episode and powering Tim’s voice.

Watch on YouTube → https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1nNm2rxY-Q A woman’s voice broke through his encrypted radio, reading his team’s obituaries. Twenty-two men surrounded by 800 enemy soldiers—and somehow Dr. Dick Thompson survived to tell the story. Code-named “Dynamite,” Dick led recon teams deep behind enemy lines in Vietnam. The North Vietnamese called him “completely nuts,” and they weren’t wrong. He chained seven claymores together, slid 150 feet down a rope with bare hands to save a crew under fire, and once called in cluster bombs on his own position—fifteen landed inside his perimeter, none detonated. But this conversation isn’t just war stories. It’s what combat taught him about fear, stress, leadership, and faith. Dick explains the psychology of battle, why “stress sweat” smells different, how box breathing saved his life, and why adapt became his team’s defining rule. Tim and Troy go straight into the hardest questions: making irreversible decisions, coming home to protesters spitting on him, the difference between killing with a knife vs. a gun, and whether surviving fifteen unexploded bomblets is anything but divine intervention. Dick doesn’t flinch. He talks about the voice that saved his life, the smell of an ambush, the illusion of being bulletproof at nineteen, and the leadership principle that works in boardrooms and battlefields alike: lead from the front. This episode will change how you think about stress, decision-making, and what the human body can do under extreme pressure. Dick’s wisdom applies far beyond combat—to every impossible choice and every moment you must decide whether to freeze or move. Dr. Dick Thompson is a combat veteran, psychologist, Mensa member, and author of the Code Named Dynamite series. Today, he trains law enforcement, first responders, and special operations forces in stress management and high-performance leadership.

Harvard historian Rebecca Lemov has spent decades uncovering the uncomfortable truth about free will, manipulation, and the invisible forces that shape human behavior, from Cold War brainwashing experiments to the AI companions whispering in our ears today. In this eye-opening conversation, Rebecca reveals how modern technology has turned us all into subjects of the largest behavioral experiment in human history. She discusses the shocking rise of AI-induced delusion, why Silicon Valley executives send their kids to tech-free schools, and the personal breaking point that taught her no one is immune to influence. This isn't just academic theory. Rebecca shares her own story of escaping a controlling relationship and addiction, the 10-day meditation retreat that felt like torture, and why she believes the nightmare of mass manipulation "isn't in the future, it's already here." But she also offers hope: practical strategies for protecting your mind, raising resilient children, and reclaiming the freedom we thought we had. ABOUT THE GUEST Rebecca Lemov is a historian of science at Harvard University and author of The Instability of Truth: How Brainwashing Shaped America. Her research explores the hidden history of behavioral control, from Cold War experiments to modern algorithmic manipulation.

Watch on YouTube → https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XN3XJzI54A Four Super Bowl rings. NFL Hall of Fame. America's quarterback. And yet, sitting alone in his Pittsburgh apartment after five brutal years, Terry Bradshaw was crying, and didn't know why. This is the Terry Bradshaw story you've never heard. In this raw, hilarious, and deeply moving conversation, the original TB12 opens up about the breaking point that changed everything: a desperate prayer on a living room floor that built an invisible wall around his heart and transformed him from a struggling, benched quarterback into a leader who would never lose his starting job again. Terry reveals the cost of greatness, the booing, the benching, the "couldn't spell cat if you spotted him the C and the T" insults, and how faith became his secret weapon. But this isn't just a football story. It's about a man learning to lead through vulnerability, calling his own plays while getting on one knee to honor his teammates. It's about three failed marriages before finding true love. It's about being an imperfect Christian who isn't afraid to say "I love me some Jesus." And it's about discovering that the greatest leadership sounds like love under pressure. From barefoot walks to school in Shreveport to showdowns with the Raiders, from Hollywood Henderson's trash talk to standing in the Fox Sports booth today, Terry proves that authenticity beats perfection every time. He shares stories that will make you laugh (stealing Mr. Robinson's baseball glove), cringe (size 10 white cleats on size 12 feet), and tear up (his father saving him from a spanking to watch football). This is Terry Bradshaw unfiltered: the discipline, the doubt, the depression, the ADD diagnosis that came too late, and the prayer that saved his career. It's a masterclass in resilience, faith, and the power of being honest about who you really are. ABOUT THE GUEST Terry Bradshaw is a Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback who led the Pittsburgh Steelers to four Super Bowl championships in six years (IX, X, XIII, XIV), calling his own plays and earning two Super Bowl MVP awards. The first overall pick in the 1970 NFL Draft, Terry spent 14 seasons transforming from a struggling young quarterback who faced brutal criticism to one of the most clutch performers in football history. After retiring, he became one of America's most beloved sports broadcasters, spending over four decades entertaining millions as a co-host of Fox NFL Sunday. Beyond football, Terry is a rancher, horse breeder, entrepreneur, and family man who has openly shared his journey with depression and ADD to help others. He currently lives with his wife Tammy, remains active in broadcasting, and continues to inspire through his authenticity, humor, and unwavering faith.

Watch on YouTube → https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DoaS6eftXdY John Stryker "Tilt" Meyer was a Green Beret team leader with MAC-V SOG, running top-secret recon missions across the fence into Laos, Cambodia, and North Vietnam. His six-man teams faced hundreds of enemy soldiers in triple-canopy jungle, extracted under heavy fire every single time, and carried the weight of stories they couldn't tell for two decades. In this raw conversation, John shares what it means to earn a Green Beret, how faith carried him through moments when the math said he shouldn't survive, and why he's spent years making sure the courage of his brothers, especially the 98 Green Berets still missing in action, is never forgotten. We talk about the NVA soldier who touched his boot and walked away, the Christmas Day extraction where helicopter blades held back flames, divine intervention in the jungle, losing his son in 2020, and the sacred duty to get the story right. This is about vulnerability under fire, brotherhood that transcends decades, and what happens when you finally break a silence that lasted 20 years.

Leland Vittert didn't speak until age three. Diagnosed with what we now know as autism, he spent middle school crying himself to sleep while his father repeated one message: "The qualities that make you bullied now will make you successful later." In this raw conversation, Leland opens up about his memoir Born Lucky, a father-son story about choosing resilience over accommodation and truth over popularity. We talk about the decision his parents made not to shelter him from adversity, but to hold his hand through it. About learning to turn isolation into independence, and pain into purpose. This isn't a polished highlight reel. It's an honest look at neurodivergence, parenting choices, bullying, and what it costs to stand your ground when the truth matters most. Key moments: Growing up neurodivergent before we had the language for it The parenting decision that changed everything Why middle school bullying prepared him for Washington newsrooms Finding your voice when you literally couldn't speak The father-son relationship that became his foundation Whether you're a parent of a struggling kid, someone who's faced isolation, or anyone trying to find strength in their story, this conversation offers hope, honesty, and the reminder that your hardest seasons might be preparing you for something greater. Guest: Leland Vittert is a journalist and author of Born Lucky, chronicling his journey from a nonverbal child with severe learning disabilities to a voice millions trust.

That 1999 playoff shot with 8 tenths of a second left made Allan Houston a New York Knicks legend. But the man behind that iconic moment is so much more than a clutch shooter. In this raw conversation, the NBA All-Star and Olympic gold medalist opens up about growing up as the son of pioneering coach Wade Houston, battling career-ending injuries, and his journey from Madison Square Garden to mentoring the next generation. Allan shares his FISLL principles—Faith, Integrity, Sacrifice, Leadership, and Legacy—and why he believes legacy isn't something you look back on, it's something you're writing right now. As a father of seven and chaplain for the Knicks, Allan reveals what it really takes to keep family at the center when the world pulls you in every direction, the moment his faith became his own at 16, and the unspoken pressures of life under the brightest lights in basketball. What You'll Hear: The real story behind THAT Miami shot and what happened the next day Why his father almost made him stay at Louisville instead of playing for him at Tennessee How 90s basketball compares to today's game Navigating the disappointment when your body stops cooperating with your will Why "legacy is a verb" and what that means for your life right now This isn't just a basketball story, it's about preparing for your moment, finding faith when self-belief isn't enough, and understanding that true greatness comes from what you give back.

NFL Hall of Famer Curtis Martin shares the raw truth behind his legendary career: he never really loved football. Despite becoming the sixth all-time leading rusher in NFL history, Curtis reveals that football was simply a vehicle for a deeper purpose, and his greatest accomplishment had nothing to do with the game. Curtis opens up about surviving extreme childhood violence in Pittsburgh, having a gun held to his head, finding his grandmother brutally murdered, and becoming "the man of the house" at age four. He shares the extraordinary story of helping his mother forgive his father after 22 years of bitterness, making a deal with God at 20 convinced he wouldn't live past 21, and why consistency, not talent, became his superpower. From navigating a world where 30 friends were murdered before graduation to setting out to finish his career with "a name worth more than the money I made," Curtis reveals what it truly means to live with purpose, conquer fear, and die empty. If you've ever struggled with forgiveness or wondered how to turn pain into purpose, this conversation will change your perspective.

“Change only happens when somebody puts a suit on and goes to work every day to solve a problem.” Aron D’Souza has taken that advice from his friend Peter Thiel to heart. As the founder of the Enhanced Games, he is leading a bold, controversial, and thought-provoking movement into what he calls “the enhanced age.” In this conversation, expect your assumptions to be shattered. Is it really more dangerous to enhance the body than to hand a child a smartphone? Why do we trust Coca-Cola and McDonald’s as Olympic sponsors but fear scientific advancement in sport? If you could give your son or daughter a pill to make them smarter, would you? Aron doesn’t just argue for the Enhanced Games - he argues for the inevitability of an Enhanced Age. Along the way, he calls out safety culture, athlete exploitation, capitalism’s addictions, and the poverty of imagination holding society back. This isn’t just a debate about sports. It’s a funeral for tradition, a rallying cry for bold vision, and perhaps the most unapologetic case for human progress you’ve ever heard.
