The Shawn Johnson Podcast

In this marathon roundtable stream, I brought the boys in, Rex Jones, Gary Faust, Eli Halpern, and Anthony Graffeo, for an absolute no-holds-barred, nearly three-hour war room on the state of the world right now. We started off talking about doomsday survival scenarios, what you actually grab in a five-minute bugout bag, and why modern society is completely unprepared for what’s coming. But once Gary walked in, the gloves came off and things got heated across the table.We went deep into the weeds on the collapse of the two-party system, what the political landscape actually looks like post-Trump, and why the establishment is terrified of an independent populist uprising. From breaking down the glaring security failures and missing pieces behind high-profile political hits like Charlie Kirk and Butler, to diving into Austin’s own dark local mysteries with the Rainey Street Ripper, nothing was off-limits. Add in wild personal stories about DMT entities, psychedelic encounters, media blacklists, and the gritty reality of building independent platforms outside the algorithm, and you get one of the most intense, unscripted conversations we’ve ever put on this channel.Make sure to like, share, and subscribe to keep conversations like this alive.

In this episode, I sit down with Mike Stratton, the co-founder of Marek Health, to get into the raw truth about what’s actually happening to men’s health, energy, and physical performance across the country. Coming out of the military, I’ve seen firsthand how a broken system leaves guys feeling completely burnt out, beat down, and running on empty—and the standard medical establishment just looks at your lab work and tells you you’re "normal" while your quality of life is down the drain. Mike and I dive deep into why that definition of normal is total bullshit, breaking down the massive decline in testosterone, the reality of high-performance burnout, and how hidden toxins like microplastics and heavy metals are wrecking our bodies from the inside out.From building Marek Health alongside Derek from More Plates More Dates to cracking the code on his own genetic health battles, Mike shares the unfiltered blueprint for taking ownership of your own biology with real diagnostic blood work, peptides, and smart hormone optimization. But things take a wild turn in the second half when Mike opens up about an intense, three-hour close encounter in his own backyard that completely flipped his perspective on reality, leading straight into a life-changing journey with ibogaine, faith, and finding true purpose. This is a wide-open conversation about physical resilience, spiritual awakening, and refusing to let the modern world drain the fight out of you.This podcast depends on sponsors and donors to exist, if you resonate with what we are developing here and wish to help keep it going, our donation link is below.

On the one-year anniversary of Charlie Kirk’s death at Utah Valley University, eyewitness Skyler Baird joins the podcast to share his raw, firsthand account from just ten feet away. What began as a spontaneous decision to attend the event quickly turned into a front-row nightmare when gunfire erupted, sending shockwaves across the country.In this candid conversation, Skyler walks through the chaos of the immediate aftermath, detailing the severe lapses in venue security, the panic near the stage, and the split-second decisions that followed. We examine the major anomalies surrounding the case—from questions about ballistic trajectories and strange behavior on the scene to the rushed repaving of the courtyard and the media fallout that has divided millions over the past year. Skyler also opens up about the personal toll of surviving the event, navigating online scrutiny, and how his mission to protect families ultimately inspired the creation of Boosted Safe.This podcast depends on sponsors and donors to exist, if you resonate with what we are developing here and wish to help keep it going, our donation link is below.

Episode 92 | In this episode of the Shawn Johnson Podcast, I sit down with Harrison Smith, host of The War Room on the Alex Jones Network, for an unfiltered conversation examining America's political, economic, and cultural direction. We break down the growing identity crisis within the conservative movement, the sudden shifts in foreign policy priorities, and why voters across the spectrum feel increasingly alienated by both major political establishments.Harrison shares his perspective on the rapid rollout of domestic surveillance infrastructure, the economic pressures quietly dismantling the middle class, and the lingering questions surrounding high-profile political events and media narratives from the Butler, Pennsylvania shooting to the ongoing controversies in the Charlie Kirk investigation. We also examine historical parallels to decaying empires, discuss the viability of an independent political realignment, and explore how uncensored, independent media hubs must build long-term cultural resilience.This podcast depends on sponsors and donors to exist, if you resonate with what we are developing here and wish to help keep it going, our donation link is below.

Episode 91 | In this episode of the Shawn Johnson Podcast, I sit down with Tim Anderson, founder of Invader Concepts, to break down the gritty, unfiltered journey of building a powerhouse American manufacturing brand from the ground up. Starting ten years ago making custom holsters in a small kitchen and trailer, Tim navigated extreme debt, bad partnerships, and constant relocations before scaling into an 11,000-square-foot facility in Kalispell, Montana.We dive deep into the hidden costs of domestic manufacturing, the complex engineering required for tactical and backcountry gear, and why maintaining 98%+ American-made sourcing is worth the uphill battle. Tim also shares his raw insights on balancing extreme work ethic with fatherhood, navigating personal resets, and applying the power of manifestation and mindset to push through rock bottom. Whether discussing backcountry predator defense, mission-critical holster reliability, or the discipline needed to lead a high-performing team, this conversation delivers an honest look at what it truly takes to produce at the highest level.This podcast depends on sponsors and donors to exist, if you resonate with what we are developing here and wish to help keep it going, our donation link is below.
