    AI Founder: "I Watched a Guy Hack a Government With AI" and Anyone Can Do This Now | Ep 8

    New AI jailbreak methods are stripping safety guardrails, handing nation-state cyberattack tools to anyone with an internet connection. This conversation with Alex Smith exposes the bleak reality of how easily ai jailbreak techniques can bypass modern security. We analyze the catastrophic failure of current protocols, focusing on the dangerous rise of obliterating open source ai models that remove 95 percent of safety constraints. If you care about digital infrastructure, you need to understand why these vulnerabilities make mass-scale ai hacking an inevitability rather than a possibility.

    He Made 100M By 28 But Becoming A Father Made Him Question Everything | Ep 7

    Fatherhood forces you to confront things about yourself you have spent years avoiding, and this conversation with Braven Grant gets into all of it. Braven is the founder of Gains In Bulk and the Committed Men brotherhood, and he's one of the most transparent entrepreneurs I've ever sat across from. We get into what fatherhood forces you to confront about your own beliefs, what it actually felt like to walk away from the LDS Church after being descended from one of its prophets, and why God told him the very structure that once kept him safe was also keeping him from ever needing a real relationship with the divine. Braven also opens up about the exact moment he turned down a $15 million offer the same morning we recorded this, and why saying yes would have meant staying a man he was actively trying to leave behind. If you're building something real and still figuring out what you actually believe while you do it, this episode is for you. Chapters: (00:00) Introduction (00:49) Defending Your Time as a Father (06:39) Fatherhood as the Ultimate Mirror (13:07) The Muslim Mission Question (22:15) God Said Walk Away (26:15) Building Morality Without a System (36:20) Earning Your Scars (45:09) Why People Are Not Having Kids (56:37) Quarterly Life Audits (01:09:32) Saying No to $15 Million (01:16:49) Gains Energy and What Comes Next The best conversations start with the best guests.

    Human Behavior Expert: "Every Single Person Is In A Trance" | Ep 6

    Language is the operating system your brain runs on, and most people have never once questioned who wrote the code. Michael Bernoff has spent 23 years reprogramming human behavior at the highest level. He is the man UFC fighters call before they step into the Octagon, the coach behind Jake Paul and thousands of elite performers, and the founder of the Human Communications Institute. When he speaks, things change, and in this episode of Forged, Brady Edwards sits across from him and lets him rewire one of his memories live on camera. We get into why the English language is structurally biased toward negativity, how the word think actually paralyzes decision making, why embedded suggestions change behavior faster than motivation ever will, and how the last thing you think about before bed runs your unconscious mind for hours. If you have ever felt like you are capable of more but something invisible keeps pulling you back, this conversation is going to feel uncomfortably familiar. Chapters: (00:00) Introduction (04:06) Why English Is Structurally Negative (10:32) The Art of Embedded Suggestions (16:26) Your Mind Runs on Suggestions Not Statements (21:13) Everyone Is Already a Hypnotist (29:46) The Reticular Activating System (41:45) Positive Trauma: Using the System in Reverse (49:20) Jim Rohn and Making Life Work for You (58:07) Why Thinking Is the Least Effective Function (01:08:16) "They Let You Down" Is an Unsolvable Loop (01:16:05) Your Phone Is Not a Phone (01:31:09) Remote Viewing (01:45:10) All Beliefs Are Lies (01:53:00) Programming Your Reality (02:06:15) The One Thing That Changes Everything The best conversations start with the best guests.

    Relationship Expert: "Men Are Set Up to Fail" Inside the Male Loneliness Epidemic | EP 5

    Women swipe right on 4.5% of men. Men swipe right on 43% of women. That gap is reshaping modern dating, and high performers are getting hit the hardest. Relationship expert Melissa Nanavati sits down with Brady Edwards to explain why the male loneliness epidemic is real, why successful men are often the worst at relationships, and what it actually takes to fix it.Melissa works exclusively with high performers, and she doesn't sugarcoat it: the same emotional detachment that built your business is the reason you're single. This episode breaks down the 80/20 dynamic in dating, why women are the gatekeepers and men have to earn attention, the four attachment styles (and which one high performers default to), and the brutal psychology behind why dating apps are wired like a slot machine. Melissa gives the framework for becoming a high-value man who doesn't need to be picked, the difference between confidence and neediness, and why 86% of millionaires are married while the "cool uncle" lifestyle runs out of gas.If you're tired of hearing that men need to just "communicate more" without anyone explaining how, this is the most tactical breakdown of male loneliness, dating psychology, and self improvement you'll find. Attachment styles, rejection therapy, and the exact framework for hard conversations that doesn't make you look weak.Chapters:0:00 Introduction5:38 Why 86% of millionaires are married13:10 Melissa's rejection therapy experiment15:29 The four attachment styles, explained27:21 The BRAVE framework for conflict resolution32:02 The three root causes of relationship friction39:28 The brutal math of dating apps44:52 The real chemistry of connection53:15 Why you should be the chooser, not the chosen1:05:49 The self-audit before you start dating1:17:43 Trigger is the gift1:33:47 Linguistic discipline and rewiring your patterns The best conversations start with the best guests.

    A-List Comedian Ghostwriter: “Your Worst Day Is Your Best Content” | Ep 4

    Comedy writing, public speaking, and the psychology of why things are actually funny are not skills most people ever stop to study. Forbes Shannon did, spending 13 years on stage, ghostwriting for A-list comedians, and opening for Rob Schneider before breaking down the exact mechanics of what makes something land and what makes it die. In this episode of Forged, Brady Edwards goes deep into joke construction, setup, punchline, and the art of the tag with one of the sharpest minds in comedy. Brady also does something he has never done on camera before, performing an untested bit about death and letting Forbes tear it apart in real time. If you have ever wondered why your jokes land in person but die over text, why some people just seem to have it, or how the best comedians actually think, this is the episode for you. Chapters: (00:00) Introduction (01:41) What Actually Makes Something Funny (07:15) When Your Best Material Has a Shelf Life (15:54) Channeling the Consensus of the Room (19:01) Cadence, Rhythm, and Counting Syllables (24:29) Everything Is a Bit (33:26) Jokes in Person Versus Text (40:38) Why Is This Funny: The Only Question (45:40) Breaking Down The Hair Bit (57:40) How to Bomb and Why It Matters (01:01:34) The Untested Death Bit The best conversations start with the best guests.

    Dr. Sierra Bains: "They Made Us Infertile Then Sold Us the Cure" | Ep 3

    The healthcare system is not broken. It is working exactly as designed, and that is the problem. Dr. Sierra Bains is a functional medicine practitioner and Doctor of Physical Therapy who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis after her second Pfizer dose in 2021, told off the record by a provider at the University of Washington MS Clinic that she had been vaccine injured, handed a black box drug as her only option, and threw it away. She reversed her symptoms, and walked away from the entire system. In this episode of Forged, we get into why the sick care model is built on recurring revenue rather than recovery, what has driven US fertility from 3.7 to 1.6 children per woman, and what birth control is actually doing to adolescent hormones. Sierra also walks through how sauna use has been shown to eliminate microplastics from human tissue and why your first 20 minutes awake are rewiring your brain without your permission. If you have ever felt like something about modern medicine is fundamentally off but could not quite articulate why, this conversation is for you. Chapters: (00:00) Introduction (01:09) The Vaccine Injury Story (07:08) Leaving the Medical System (14:14) Pharmaceutical Reps and Incentives (17:38) Birth Control: The First Subscription (25:27) The Deck of Cards Realization (30:01) The Fertility Crisis by the Numbers (43:26) Living in Toxic Soup (48:06) DDT in Her Body 60 Years Later (01:06:55) Cancer Disappears Through Belief (01:17:36) Parasites Are Protecting You (01:28:40) The War on Attention and Thinking (01:47:13) The First 20 Minutes Are Sacred (01:58:29) 20 Minutes Without Your Phone The best conversations start with the best guests.

    The Most Isolated Man on Earth: What's Really in Antarctica | Ep 2

    Everything in your head is a story, you might as well make up whatever you want. Akshay Nanavati is a Marine Corps combat veteran who cleared bombs on foot in Iraq, spent 60 days completely alone dragging the heaviest sled ever pulled across Antarctica, and sat down with a Tendai Buddhist marathon monk who runs up to two marathons a day for a thousand days and when asked if he suffered said simply, why would I, I chose to be there. In this episode of Forged, Akshay breaks down why all mental suffering comes down to resisting or clinging, how the frame through which you experience pain is something you built and can rebuild, and what nine days of no food no water and no sleep teaches about the upper ceiling of human possibility. If you have ever felt like your own mind is the hardest thing you have ever had to survive, this one is for you. Chapters: (00:00) Introduction (03:56) The Power of Reading (13:51) The Gas Chamber and the Crucible (17:35) Being a Mortar Man and Walking for Bombs (21:10) The Experience in Iraq (30:57) Losing Friends to War (41:21) Only Worrying About the Mission (48:45) Labels Become Prisons (54:52) The Marathon Monk Changes Everything (01:04:51) Why Antarctica and the First Expedition (01:13:35) The Crossing: 420 Pounds, 60 Days, Alone (01:24:08) The Apex Moment Is Not the Summit (01:38:19) Choose Your Suffering (01:46:54) The New Book: The Work Is the Win The best conversations start with the best guests.

    Former Lockheed Martin Engineer: “UFO Disclosure Could Ruin Religion” | EP 1

    UFO disclosure is no longer just a conspiracy theory discussed on the fringes. Justin Cross spent a decade as an aerospace engineer working on classified F-22 and F-35 flight test programs at Edwards Air Force Base, giving him a rare perspective on military technology, recovered craft, and what the public may still not know. In this episode, we explore why reported UAPs appear to defy known physics and whether the United States has technology far beyond what has been publicly disclosed. The conversation moves from the six observables of UFOs and secret aerospace programs to ancient civilizations, consciousness, and humanity’s ability to handle full disclosure. Justin also raises a deeper question about whether revealing nonhuman intelligence would expand our understanding of reality or pull people away from their spiritual foundation. For anyone questioning the official UFO narrative and wondering what disclosure could truly mean for humanity, this conversation goes far beyond lights in the sky.
