Over the course of my life, I have had a plethora of experiences. Some good, and some bad. I have traveled around the country, worked the land, served in our nation's military, and always believed in giving back to the communities we live in. Throughout the past few decades of my life, I've discovered one common factor: We all have a story to tell. All of us have experienced love, loss, success, and failure. I've made it my passion and my mission to find these amazing people. I'm going to tell their stories, embrace the positive impacts they are making in the world around them, and learn as much as I can in the process. My hope is that you and I can collectively formulate a greater understanding of the human race, and thus we can better understand ourselves. I will be on this endless journey; seeking people out to tell their stories that will inspire you.

    Adam DeRito For Congress | Colorado's 8th District

    Adam DeRito has worn many uniforms in service to others. He has served as an Army Reserve officer, an intelligence analyst deployed to the Middle East, a firefighter and first responder, an oil and gas professional working to protect America's energy security, a Colorado farmer who understands the struggles facing rural families, and a substitute Catholic school teacher dedicated to forming the next generation of young Americans. Every chapter of Adam's life has been shaped by responsibility and fortified by resilience. Colorado's 8th District is facing real challenges. Energy uncertainty, pressure on local farms, rising costs, overloaded roads, veterans who cannot access care, and a political class that has forgotten who they work for. Adam is stepping forward to restore accountability, revive our local economy, support our agricultural communities, defend our energy workers, and stand firmly with the families who call District 8 home. With an introduction from Aaron Love, one of America's most respected Pararescuemen, this campaign launch is a call to action for all who believe in service, truth, and courage. Together we can save Colorado's 8th District and build a future worthy of the people who live here. Join Team DeRito and be part of a movement grounded in service to solutions.

    Episode 75: "AG" CEO of Toehold

    Rugged individualism is not a slogan. It is a responsibility. This episode exemplifies what real American leadership and innovation actually look like. In Episode 75, I sit down with AG, CEO of Toehold, to talk about building from nothing, leading through uncertainty, and taking ownership when the stakes are real. This conversation is about the kind of leadership that does not wait for permission, does not hide behind excuses, and does not fold under pressure. American innovation was never born from comfort or consensus. It was built by people willing to take risks, solve real problems, and stand first when others hesitated. AG's story is a case study in that mindset. Create value. Take responsibility. Leave something stronger behind.No hype. No shortcuts. Just grit, accountability, and leadership the way it used to be done. Episode 75 is live.

    Episode 77: Erik Holt

    🎙 Free Speech, Retaliation, and the Cost of Integrity | Erik Holt's Story   After 18 years in federal service, Erik Holt became Fire Chief of a small rural Colorado department in 2022. In less than a year, he helped grow the department from 5 to over 60 trained firefighters with the support of a dedicated board and community.   Everything changed after the May 2023 election, when all five board seats were up for vote. Following citizen complaints, Erik reviewed surveillance footage and uncovered clear evidence of coordinated election misconduct. Fulfilling his legal and moral duty, he reported it to the District Attorney. The individuals under investigation were then sworn in as the new board. They immediately ordered Erik to delete the surveillance footage. He refused.   Days later, the board illegally froze the department's bank accounts, disrupting emergency services and payroll, then fired Erik for refusing to destroy evidence. Erik filed a federal lawsuit citing First Amendment protections for reporting corruption. While the court acknowledged wrongdoing, it ruled his actions were part of his job and not constitutionally protected, dismissing the case before a jury could hear it. Even more disturbing, Erik uncovered deep corruption within the District Attorney's Office.   The defense attorney hired to represent the accused conspirators was the father of the DA's second in command. Just days after being hired, the investigation into election fraud was abruptly shut down. Now Erik is fighting back. He is currently on appeal to the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals after exhausting over $150,000 of personal funds.   This case sends a dangerous message: speak up against corruption and you may lose your career and your constitutional rights.   📂 Case Dockets Federal Case (U.S. District Court – Colorado): 👉 1:23-cv-01798   Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals 👉 25-1159   📲 Follow & Support Erik Holt    Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/justiceforholt   (Twitter): https://x.com/JusticeForHolt TikTok:   / justiceforholt     💰 Legal Defense & Support GoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/f/free-speec...   GiveSendGo: https://www.givesendgo.com/JusticeFor...   If you believe in: ✔ Free speech ✔ Protecting whistleblowers ✔ Government accountability ✔ Due process ✔ Ethical leadership   Please share Erik's story and support the fight for constitutional rights.

    Episode 78 of the Tuxes & Tomahawks Podcast is LIVE. In a world shaped by uncertainty, global conflict, inflation, and the continued erosion of fiat currencies, protecting what you've worked for has never been more important.

    Episode 79: Daniel Frick

    🎙️ TUXES & TOMAHAWKS — EPISODE #79 🇺🇸 DANIEL FRICK: "JUST FRICKIN' COMMON SENSE" Colorado politics could use a little less political theater and a hell of a lot more common sense. On Episode #79 of Tuxes & Tomahawks, we sit down with Daniel Frick, candidate for Colorado House District 53, Air Force veteran, former contractor in Afghanistan, father, caregiver, and a guy who decided complaining about the system wasn't enough. He decided to step into the fight. Daniel's campaign is focused on something working families across Colorado understand firsthand: life has gotten too damn expensive. Housing. Groceries. Utilities. Insurance. Taxes. Fees. Families are working harder, paying more, and wondering why it feels like they keep falling further behind. We get into all of it. Daniel talks about why he decided to run, what military service taught him about leadership, his experience overseas in Afghanistan, and how raising a family and navigating Colorado's Medicaid and mental-health systems helped shape the candidate he is today. Then we get into the fights waiting for him in Denver: 🇺🇸 Bringing down the cost of living ⚖️ Putting victims back at the center of the justice system 🏠 Making Colorado affordable for working families 👨‍👩‍👧 Protecting parental rights 🎓 Getting education focused back on education 🧠 Fixing broken Medicaid and mental-health bureaucracy 🔫 Defending the Second Amendment 💰 Protecting taxpayers and TABOR 🏛️ Bringing accountability and common sense back to the State Capitol We also talk about something bigger than one election. Why would an ordinary person willingly jump into politics? Maybe because representative government was never supposed to belong exclusively to professional politicians. Sometimes the people who have actually served, worked, raised families, paid the bills, dealt with broken government systems, and lived with the consequences of bad policy are exactly the people we need stepping forward. Daniel calls it: "Just Frickin' Common Sense." We call it one hell of a conversation. 🥃 Grab a drink, pull up a chair, and join us for Episode #79 of Tuxes & Tomahawks.

    Episode 80: Edward Luther Jr.

    🎙️ TUXES & TOMAHAWKS EPISODE 80: SPECIAL EDITION - 25 YEARS LATER 9/11: MAKING IT HOME At 8:46 a.m. on September 11, 2001, my uncle was at work at 130 Liberty Street, directly across from the World Trade Center. He helped evacuate his floor, refused to turn back when an announcement told employees they could return to their offices, and eventually made it outside. Then he watched the South Tower fall. As the dust cloud consumed Lower Manhattan, he took shelter beneath a van, breathing through a handkerchief in complete darkness, wondering if he would ever see his family again. Hours later, covered in the dust of Ground Zero, he made his way to the Hudson River and escaped Manhattan by boat as part of the largest maritime evacuation in history. He eventually crossed into New Jersey and made it home to his family. Thousands never did. Twenty-five years later, my uncle tells his story in his own words for the first time; what he witnessed, how he survived, the people he lost, and what it means to Never Forget. This isn't history from a textbook. He was there.  The episode will be published on 9/11/2026 at 0846 EST after the live episode. Listen, remember, and teach those who have forgotten or never knew what happened on the day that changed the United States forever.
