  1. Unity On Purpose

    3D AGO

    Unity On Purpose

    An attempted assassination on a president should stop a nation in its tracks, not blend into the weekend like background noise. We sit with that chilling “new norm,” then ask the harder question: what are we doing to each other with the way we talk, post, mock, and accuse? We trace how political violence, conspiracy theories, and media rhetoric collide in real time. When leaders and influencers pour gasoline on polarization, someone out there eventually treats it like permission. We also confront how fast conspiracy thinking spreads after tragedy, including the ugly narratives aimed at Erica Kirk following Charlie Kirk’s assassination. For us, that kind of talk does not protect truth, it fractures people, stifles faith, and sabotages the revival we have watched spark across the country. Then we pivot to what rebuilding can look like. We react to a rare, hopeful moment of public unity and we talk about the surprising power of a well-timed speech, including King Charles speaking to Congress with humor, respect, and a reminder of shared identity as America nears its 250th birthday. We end where we began, anchored in faith: Psalm 133 and Ephesians 4:3 make unity plain, not passive, and not easy. Unity is intentional, it takes restraint, and it starts with how we show up at home and online. If you want fewer fires in the public square, it begins with refusing to light matches. Subscribe for more real talk, share this with someone who needs a reset, and leave a review with one place you think unity should start first.

    Loving An Addict After They Are Gone

    A year can pass in a blur, and then one date cracks everything open. We sit down again, husband and wife, to revisit the phone call she dreaded for years: the one that told her the police needed her to identify her mother. What follows is an unfiltered conversation about addiction, homelessness, the overdose crisis, and the brutal reality of being the child left behind, still loving someone who couldn’t stop hurting themselves. We talk about what happens when a death gets treated like routine paperwork and why she felt forced to become her own advocate to get answers. We get into the emotional whiplash of grief after overdose, the anger at the world, the months of waiting, and the haunting mix of sorrow and relief that comes when the constant fear finally quiets. If you’ve ever searched for help with “coping with addiction loss,” “loving an addict,” or “how to set boundaries with family,” you’ll hear practical truth: give yourself grace, stop taking the blame, and protect your home even when your heart is wide open. Then we shift from investigation to healing. We reflect on delayed grieving, what it means to parent after growing up in chaos, and how you break a generational pattern so your child never has to wonder if you’re safe. The episode closes with a grounded, faith-forward decision: baptism as a line in the sand, a way to let go, and a commitment to becoming the healthiest version of ourselves. If this conversation hits home, subscribe so you don’t miss what comes next, share it with someone who needs it, and leave a review with the one sentence you wish every family impacted by addiction could hear.

    Misplaced Hope

    We juggle a sick kid, zero sleep, and a late-night recording, then land on the one story we promised: how Good Friday and Easter Sunday reshaped our faith. We talk about grief after suicide loss, the power of being prayed over, and why hope only works when it’s placed somewhere solid.  • recording on fumes after a rough sick-day spiral  • why we commit to Good Friday and Easter services  • feeling drawn to church and finally feeling at home  • parenting pressure when there’s no childcare  • choosing respect for others when a kid can’t sit still  • the unexpected impact of “Good job, Dad”  • giving our life to God through prayer  • why being prayed over feels like a release  • Easter baptisms and the power of testimony  • misplaced hope as a driver of anxiety and depression  • grief anniversaries and finding a healing loop  If you found value in today's show please return the favor and leave a positive review and share it with someone important to you! https://www.sharethestrugglepodcast.com/reviews/new/ Find all you need to know about the show https://www.sharethestrugglepodcast.com/ Official Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100077724159859 Join the 2% of Americans that Buy American and support American Together we can bring back American Manufacturing https://www.loudproudamerican.shop/ Loud Proud American Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Loudproudamerican Loud Proud American Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/loud_proud_american/ Loud Proud American TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@loud_proud_american Loud Proud American YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmYQtOt6KVURuySWYQ2GWtw Thank you for Supporting My American Dream!

    No American Left Behind And No Shows Missed

    Episode 300 hits on a day that feels bigger than a calendar date. I’m looking back at six years of the Share the Struggle Podcast, 300 consecutive weeks with no hiatus, no missed shows, and no hiding from the messy parts of building a life. If you’ve ever felt stuck, tired, or unsure, the core idea is the one that keeps me moving: everybody struggles, but you decide whether you go through it or grow through it. That choice shows up in your habits, your relationships, and the future you’re quietly recording every day.  Then the show turns into a real-time snapshot of U.S. history and world security. I’m recording as a major Iran deadline approaches, reacting as the news breaks about a pause in bombing, a ceasefire agreement, and the Strait of Hormuz reopening. I share why leadership, negotiation and national security decisions hit differently when you think about your kids and what kind of world they inherit.  From there, I walk you through one of the most intense stories I’ve covered: the rescue of a downed U.S. weapons systems officer inside Iran. We break down the timeline from survival and beacon detection to planning, deception, insertion, firefights and extraction, including the scale of the operation and the “no American left behind” promise in action. The emotional punch lands when the mission lines up with Easter weekend and faith: hidden on Good Friday, rescued on Easter Sunday, and the words that cut through it all, “God is good.” If this episode moves you, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review so more people who are struggling can find it.

    I Learned How Much Life Fits In 24 Hours

    I didn’t expect a 24-hour lesson to smack me in the face, but it did: wake up in Maine and go to bed in Texarkana, Arkansas, and you realize how much life can fit inside one day. I’m running hot lately, riding deadlines, feeling the walls close in, and trying to claw my way back to solid ground. Then my wife says the simplest thing that changes everything: go. Take the break. Get out of the foxhole for a minute. So we do something ridiculous. Brian Palmolo and I fly out, hit Houston, Uber down to Navasota, buy a 30-ish foot RV, and point it toward home with almost no plan beyond staying flexible. Along the way we deal with the realities everyone’s talking about: travel stress, TSA chaos, and the cost of the road. But we also run into the best parts of America: helpful people, strange surprises, and the kind of moments you can’t schedule. We end up camping at the Texarkana fairgrounds during a barrel racing championship, getting an unreal view over the Mississippi River from the Memphis Bass Pro pyramid, and living that Broadway night in Nashville where strangers turn into instant friends. We even pull off the sketchy “act like you belong” move to catch a few hours of sleep near the Tennessee Titans stadium before we roll out at 4 a.m. Then it’s Smoky Mountains views, Gatlinburg energy, a real business opportunity for Loud Proud American, and one personal moment that hits me hard: spotting a bald eagle and feeling like my dad is still riding with me. If you’ve been feeling burnt out, stuck, or boxed in, let this be your nudge toward a factory reset. Listen now, then subscribe, share it with a friend who needs a shove, and leave a review so more people find the story. What’s one “do it anyway” trip you’ve been putting off?

    Weathering The Vendor Storm And Forecasting hope

    The fastest way to feel crazy as a small business owner is to do “everything right” and still watch people walk by with empty hands. We just got back from the Eastern Maine Sportsman Show at the University of Maine in Orono, and we’re giving you the unfiltered recap: booth cost, hotel, fuel, meals, the sales goal we set, and why landing at about half of what we hoped for still didn’t make the weekend a total loss. We dig into the real-time signals we’re seeing at vendor events, fairs, festivals, and sportsman shows, especially the bag-to-person ratio. When you stop seeing bags in a crowd, you feel it at the register. We also talk about another trend that hits hard for traveling vendors: more people putting purchases on credit instead of paying cash. Pair that with rising costs and shrinking breathing room, and it explains why so many entrepreneurs are carrying the same two feelings right now, uncertainty and nervousness. From there, we connect the dots with what we’re hearing from other small business owners across totally different industries, and we deliver a needed shot of hopium. I share my forecast for where things are headed, why I believe we’re going to see relief, and how to keep your head straight while you weather the storm. We close with gratitude, a big shout out, and a story about getting surprised with WWE Monday Night Raw tickets that reminded me why joy and community matter just as much as the grind. If you’re building a brand, selling made in the USA apparel, or simply trying to make the next right move with your money, hit play.

    I Can’t Chase This Dream Without You

    Everybody loves the highlight reel of entrepreneurship. The booth photos, the road trips, the “we’re chasing a dream” energy. What people don’t see is who’s back home keeping the whole machine running when one of you leaves and the bills, chores, pets, and a one-year-old tornado don’t pause. My wife joins me to tell the other side of the story: the chaos coordinator life, the extra responsibilities that land on one person’s shoulders, and the surprising ways role reversals can build real respect. We talk honestly about marriage and small business stress, financial pressure, and how simple things like a text message can turn into a fight when you’re both exhausted and trying to hold it together. You’ll hear our take on why relationships are 100% and 100%, not 50-50, and how “uncomfortable conversations” keep resentment from taking root. We also get into the practical side of making this work, from carving out a dedicated home office to planning the next events on the road as a family. If you’re balancing a startup, a side hustle, work from home life, or parenting with ambition, this one hits the real stuff: teamwork, perspective, and the village it takes to keep a dream alive.

  8. When The Road Tests You, Relationships Pay You Back

    When The Road Tests You, Relationships Pay You Back

    The dust hasn’t settled, and maybe that’s the point. We just wrapped Daytona Bike Week 2026 with a week that threw everything at us—flooded tents, leaky air mattresses, midnight engines, and a sales curve that swung from record pace to near freefall before a late rally. The numbers say we edged past last year; the story says we leveled up in ways a ledger can’t track. We open with the campsite chaos and the mental game it takes to keep showing up when sleep is a rumor. Then we peel back the business side: the midweek surge, the rent hike gamble, and the decisions that turned a shaky start into a modest win. But the heartbeat of this trip was connection. At the Cabbage Patch, the bartenders’ high-fives and ownership check-ins told us we’re not just passing vendors—we’re part of the scene. That visibility may even tee up MC opportunities for 2027, proof that presence breeds possibility. The week also gave us milestones that stick. A father–son run to Supercross at the Speedway, an NBA game to watch a hometown phenom cross a milestone, and a moment I’ll remember forever: Brian buying the RV he’s dreamed of for years. Being there for that decision reframed the grind—suddenly the long days had a narrative spine, a why you can feel. And there was a creative spark too. Country artist Daniel Johnson jumped in the booth with us, and somewhere between selling shirts and trading stories, we mapped a real plan—grow his audience up north, seed our brand down south, build shows and community the old-school collaborative way. The drive home turned into a test and a teacher. Thirty hours of gridlock, storms, fog, and a hubcap that tried to take us out at 80. I logged my first serious trailer miles and found focus in two white lines and steady brakes. Then the Blue Ridge unspooled at sunrise, and the noise fell away. That’s where the takeaways clicked: resilience compounds, relationships are the ROI, and the hard road still leads where we want to go. If you’re into real-world brand building, road family stories, and the grit it takes to turn chaos into momentum, you’ll feel this one. Tap play, ride with us through the wins and near-misses, and tell us what the road taught you lately. And if this resonated, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review so we can keep growing this tribe together.
