🚨 By Popular Demand: The New Era Begins for Think First

The people spoke — and we listened. After a long late-night dinner at Cowboy Star in Colorado Springs with Don and Sarah Marbauch of Arizona — a retired fighter pilot, Air Force Academy grad, clarity advocates, and unofficial ambassadors of common sense — the tipping point arrived.

Think First is going bigger. Starting now, you’ll get 25–40 minute episodes, at least twice a week. The same sharp lens on gaslighting and poetic truth… the same dry wit… but with room to go deeper, sharper, and smarter.

And if you want to help push this movement higher in the algorithms — take thirty seconds to rate Think First five stars on Apple or Spotify and leave a quick review. Every rating helps more people #SpotTheGaslight.
