Fatherhood & Faith

Authenticity resonates throughout this deeply personal episode where I step away from my usual audio-only format to offer a rare video update on The Daily American podcast. As we celebrate our 124th episode milestone and growing listenership, I wanted to share the driving forces behind this journey—my faith, my son Xavier, and my commitment to supporting non profit organizations.

Meet Xavier, my "best buddy" who changed everything. Fatherhood surprised me in the most profound ways possible, giving me direction when I needed it most and teaching me discipline through accountability. Those dark moments I've experienced seem more navigable now that I have this little man counting on me. This relationship exemplifies what The Daily American stands for: finding meaning through connection, responsibility, and love.

My approach to life and this podcast is grounded in equality—"I'm no better than the homeless man and no worse than the richest man in the world." This perspective shapes how I discuss everything from spirituality to politics, maintaining an open mind while acknowledging my personal pathway through Jesus. Whether you're drawn to conventional faith, universal energy, or finding meaning in nature, there's space for your perspective here. Every episode reflects this balance of personal conviction and respectful curiosity. Remember, your $10 monthly subscription doesn't buy you exclusive content—it funds support to nonprofit organizations, creating positive impact beyond just words and ideas.
