"I Hit Rock Bottom After Getting Red-Pilled" | The Sage Steele Show | EP 66

Some conversations stop you in your tracks- and this was one of them. Xaviaer DuRousseau joined me to talk about how he went from identifying as a proud liberal to becoming one of the boldest conservative voices challenging the mainstream narrative today. He walked me through that transformation. What shifted, what hurt, and what ultimately freed him. We talked about identity, race, and the pressure to conform. Xaviaer opened up about the backlash he’s faced, the isolation that comes with speaking your truth, and why he refuses to be quiet- even when it would be easier. This wasn’t about towing a party line. It was about finding the courage to break away from the script and rewriting your own.
