    I Thought Mold Was Making Me Sick, But It Was Something Much Worse

    What do you do when a doctor tells you that you have 15 months to live and less than a 10% chance of surviving the next two years? In this episode of the Rollercoaster Podcast, I sit down with Doug Cartwright, a sales coach, entrepreneur, and one of the most spiritually grounded people I've ever met, who was diagnosed with Grade 4 Glioblastoma, the deadliest, most aggressive form of brain cancer, just weeks before we recorded this conversation. Doug walks us through the symptoms that were dismissed as anxiety, the emergency brain surgery that saved his life, and the vision he had that completely changed how he sees death, faith, and what it means to truly live. If you've ever faced a moment that shattered your sense of the future, this conversation will stay with you.

    She Was My Best Friend, Now My Sister is Dead

    What happens when the person trained to save lives loses someone they couldn’t save? In this episode of the Rollercoaster Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Marlon Rollins for one of the most powerful conversations we’ve ever had about suicide, grief, trauma, mental health, and healing. Dr. Rollins spent years working as a crisis director and mental health professional helping people through suicidal crises, until the unthinkable happened. His sister, Amber, took her own life, leaving behind a 13-year-old daughter who was the first person to find her. This conversation explores the devastating reality of suicide loss, survivor’s guilt, depression, addiction, firearms, trauma, parenting, social media, and why so many people suffer in silence. We also discuss suicide prevention, warning signs, purpose, connection, and the urgent mental health crisis impacting children, teens, veterans, nurses, and families around the world. If this episode moved you, please share it with someone who may need it.

    The Worst Day of My Life...

    Nothing prepares you for the moment your parents call screaming that your little brother is gone. In this episode of the Rollercoaster Podcast, I sit down with twin brothers Jake & Joe Sharp as they relive the night their 16-year-old brother Sam died by suicide while they were serving church missions in Mexico. What followed was a pain neither of them knew how to survive. The phone call, the confusion, the anger, the guilt, and the devastating reality of returning home to a family forever changed. But this conversation is about more than loss. It’s about mental health, teenage depression, shame, hope, and the reminder that the people smiling the most are sometimes hurting the deepest. Jake & Joe share who Sam really was beyond his struggles: a light, a comedian, a brother, and someone deeply loved. If you or someone you love is battling suicidal thoughts, please know this episode was made for you. If this story moved you, share it with someone who needs hope today.

    The Best Day of My Life Tragically Became the Worst...

    I was standing in front of the mirror, fixing my tie, minutes away from going live on CNBC. Then my phone rang. In a matter of minutes, my entire world collapsed. In this episode of the Rollercoaster Podcast, I step out of the interviewer's seat and into the most vulnerable conversation of my life, sitting down with Aleksei Archer of the Morning Glory Podcast to share the story of the day that split my life in two. From selling my company and living what most people would call the dream to a sudden medical emergency that nearly took my wife from me, and did take our unborn child. I talk about the moment I got the call. The panic of being miles away and completely helpless. The trauma that doesn't leave you. And the night I genuinely didn't know if I was going to lose everything that actually mattered. But there's a turning point in this story. One that quietly rearranged everything. How I see life, how I hold faith, and what I now understand about what's truly worth protecting. This episode is about love, loss, trauma, and the perspective that only comes from almost losing it all. If you've ever moved too fast, chased the wrong things, or taken the people you love for granted, this one will stop you in your tracks. 👇 Which part of this story stayed with you the most?

    I Knew I Was Going to Die...

    I didn’t expect this story to hit this hard. Because it starts with success and ends somewhere no one thinks they’ll ever go. In this episode, I sit down with Brad White, who was making over $100K a year, building a business, and living what most people would call the dream until one decision pulled him into addiction, and everything began to collapse. What started with pain pills turned into a spiral of opioids, meth, and a life he couldn’t recognise, losing his home, his marriage, and eventually becoming homeless. But there’s a moment in this conversation that stopped me… A moment where he looks around and realises: this isn’t who I’m meant to be. If you’ve ever wondered how addiction really takes hold and what it takes to fight your way back, this episode will stay with you. Watch till the end and share this with someone who needs it.
