In this honest and raw mini episode, Tyler Bruckner opens up about his struggles with addiction and the shame that made him question God’s love. He shares how addiction can make us feel distant and unworthy — but also the truth that changed everything for him.

If you’ve ever wondered whether God still loves you in your lowest moments, this conversation is for you. The answer might not be what you expect — but it’s exactly what you need to hear.

In this episode, we sit down with Noah Lewis for an honest, wide-ranging conversation that dives into identity, purpose, and the pressure to change who you are just to fit in. We explore the impact of pornography, the importance of mentorship, and what healthy relationships really look like. Of course, we also tackle the big questions—like how to rizz without being weird and whether you actually need to tip at a coffee shop. This one’s a mix of raw insight and light chaos—you won’t want to miss it.

*Our sound is a little off due to technical difficulties. We decided to do the podcast again, but realized our first take was better; this podcast is the first take. We want you all to have quality content above everything else.*

In this episode, we get real about what it’s like when the unexpected hits — from surprise sickness to relationship struggles, and how we try (and sometimes fail) to handle it all. We talk about what it means to stay grounded in God when your plans fall apart, bringing your emotions to Him, and learning to trust even when nothing makes sense. Oh, and we definitely went off on a tangent about Tom’s financial decisions and whether or not you should tip your barista. It’s messy, it’s honest, and it’s exactly what we needed to talk about.

In this episode, we sit down with our friend Cameron Guzman to dive deep into where people find their sense of purpose and identity. We talk about the pressure to party, the role drinking plays in trying to fit in, and how culture often offers temporary fulfillment. Cam shares her journey and how she’s found lasting purpose through Jesus—and why that changes everything.

Tom also threatens to report Cam's instagram if she gains more followers than us & always whether to tip or not to tip your barista.

Authentic, honest, and a little unhinged—just the way we like it.

Tune in, be encouraged, and maybe rethink what really gives your life meaning.

In this episode, fitness coach Taylor Strandt joins us to break down the unrealistic expectations social media has created around health, fitness, and body image. We dive into how misinformation spreads online, what young adults really need to know about getting fit, and how the American healthcare system impacts our approach to wellness. Oh—and we definitely get into tipping culture at your local coffee shop. Whether you're trying to navigate the gym or just life in your 20s, this one's packed with straight talk and real value.

In this episode, I sit down with Corey Phillips — a young entrepreneur and thought leader who's making waves in the business world. We dive into the mindset behind starting something from nothing, what it really means to take risks, and why tipping your barista might say more about you than you think. Oh, and yes — we even talk about gorillas. From business strategy to life philosophy (with a few unexpected turns), this conversation is real, unfiltered, and full of insights.

Whether you're an aspiring founder or just here for the gorilla metaphors, you're in for a good one.

In this loosely organized episode, Dawson & Tom touch on everything from Chinese child labor from Nike, whether tipping your barista is an obligation or scam, Joe Rogan’s podcast empire, video games that raised them & old personal vendettas. It’s honest, unfiltered, and probably going to get Tom canceled.

We kick things off by sharing why we started this podcast, a bit about who we are, and some real talk on comparison, failure, and taking chances in your 20s. It’s honest, unfiltered, and just the beginning.
