Five months ago, Concrete Cactus started as a dry run. A side quest. A way to speak honestly without breaking under the pressure. What it’s become is still evolving—but this episode? It’s the closest we’ve come to hitting what we set out to build: fire meets reflection.
We don’t just recap headlines here—we reckon with them. From wildfires in Jersey to an autistic child navigating Arizona’s broken care system. From subway chaos in NYC to establishing Jameis Winston’s true calling as the Giants’ Team Chaplain. And yes—Brandon finally gets to neo-glaze Shedeur Sanders.
This episode touches the raw edges of what it means to advocate, endure, and show up when the world doesn’t make it easy.
In this episode:
Somewhere after the 33-minute mark, the curtain drops—and the why behind this podcast starts speaking for itself.
If you’ve ever had to stay strong because no one else could...
If you’ve ever been the one who keeps it together while unraveling underneath...
If you’ve ever felt invisible until you broke—
Give us 33 minutes. You’ll understand.
