    Tools to Bring Us Together.

    S2E12 — "Tools to Bring Us Together?" You check your phone more than you'd admit, you've probably talked to AI without thinking twice, and an algorithm already decided what news you saw today. So... are these tools actually bringing us together, or did we just stop noticing when they stopped? Randy and Paul dig into social media, AI, and how to spot real news from noise — with a live look at how to actually check if a source is legit. Casual conversation, real research, no lecture.

    Anchors in the Storm: The Constitution, 9/11, and American Resilience

    S2E13 — "Anchors in the Storm"The Constitution just turned 239. Last week marked 25 years since 9/11. Paul Maloy and Randy Burgoyne connect the two — treating the Constitution as a "legacy operating system" built to survive shocks, and 9/11 as the moment that tested whether America would trade liberty for security. From checks-and-balances-as-circuit-breakers to the Fourth Amendment in a digital age, this is a conversation about what keeps a nation's foundational code running under pressure. #CenteredLive #ConstitutionDay #NeverForget911

    The Price of Liberty: The Founding Fathers' Untold Struggles

    We were taught the Founding Fathers were flawless marble statues. They weren't. They were broke, grieving, sick, and terrified — and they built a country anyway. In this episode of Centered Live, Randy Burgoyne and historian Paul Maloy strip away the myth of the "finished product" Founders and dig into the real, messy history behind America's 250th birthday. You'll hear how George Washington watched Mount Vernon collapse into ruin while he was away fighting a war he wasn't sure he could win. How Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence while grieving the deaths of his wife and four children. How Benjamin Franklin lost his own son to the Revolution — permanently. And how Alexander Hamilton clawed his way up from orphaned poverty through sheer relentless work and chronic illness. Then it gets darker: the signers of the Declaration weren't signing a ceremonial document — they were signing what was effectively their own death warrants for treason. Paul walks through what actually happened to men like Richard Stockton, Francis Lewis, and John Hart — men who lost their homes, their health, their families, and in some cases their lives for the cause. And even after the war was won, the fighting didn't stop. John Adams battled deep anxiety and isolation. The Founders turned on each other, calling one another tyrants and traitors, all while trying to hold a fragile new republic together. This isn't a history lesson about perfect men. It's a conversation about why their flaws are exactly what make them worth remembering — and why real heroism has never required perfection. 🇺🇸 Happy 250th, America. Here's to the beautifully imperfect people who built it. Hosts: Randy Burgoyne & Paul Maloy #CenteredLive #FoundingFathers #AmericanHistory #America250 #DeclarationOfIndependence

    The Lost Art of Family Dinner

    Something quietly disappeared from American life. Nobody cancelled it. Life just got busy — and the dinner table went empty. Research is unambiguous: kids who eat regularly with their family are measurably less likely to struggle with depression, substance abuse, and academic failure. The dinner table isn't about the food. It's the daily signal that says you belong here, and these people see you. Randy and Paul trace how family dinner was built, how it eroded, what we lose when the table goes dark — and what it actually takes to get it back. Put the phones away. Sit down. See what happens. 45 minutes | Centered.Live | Season 2, Episode 7
