In this explosive episode, Darin sits down with Johnny Graham, the CEO of Pacific United Power and Pulse Proof, and the founder of the largest YouTube channel in the solar industry. Together they uncover the hidden vulnerabilities in America's power grid, the looming threats of EMPs and AI-driven energy demands, and how solar technology could be the key to both national security and personal sovereignty.
Johnny's story — from door-to-door solar sales to building an empire redefining the energy landscape — is a masterclass in leadership, innovation, and self-reliance. This conversation dives deep into what it really means to own your power, both literally and metaphorically, in a world increasingly dependent on fragile systems.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
