    Raw, Real, Unfiltered

    When I speak, I don’t sugarcoat. I share the truth — the messy parts, the healing parts, the breakthroughs, the moments most people hide. This is a space for real talk, unfiltered emotion, and honest conversations that remind us we’re all human. No scripts. No masks. Just the story as it is, and the journey as it unfolds. If you’re here for authenticity, you’re in the right place.

    It’s You, Oh F**k, It’s ME on The Journey

    Chad Taylor joins The Journey with a perspective that cuts straight to the heart of how we relate to ourselves and the people we love. As a clinical psychotherapist, he works with individuals and couples facing anxiety, addiction, intimacy challenges, and the deep-rooted patterns that quietly shape our relationships. With nearly two decades of personal recovery and clinical experience behind him, Chad brings forward one confronting truth that I, David Hackett, found both disarming and liberating: most relationship problems aren’t actually about the other person. His book, It’s You, Oh F**k, It’s ME, dives into projection, egocentricity, escapism, attachment, and the unconscious defences we build to avoid real closeness. Chad has a rare ability to blend therapeutic insight with direct, lived honesty—making complex psychological and spiritual ideas feel accessible without diluting their weight. Beyond his private practice, Chad hosts two podcasts exploring relationships and self-awareness, and his work refuses to settle for surface-level advice or quick fixes. Instead, he invites us into responsibility, presence, and repair—the real work beneath the noise. In this episode of The Journey, I share my own reflections alongside Chad’s insights as we explore what it truly means to look inward, own our patterns, and show up differently in the relationships that matter most.

  4. The Outlier Who Gave Attorneys Their Voice: The Story of DM

    The Outlier Who Gave Attorneys Their Voice: The Story of DM

    Dennis “DM” Meador has never fit the mold—and that’s exactly why attorneys trust him to help them stand out. His entrepreneurial spark ignited at just 14 years old, when most teenagers were thinking about homework and weekends, not building businesses. From shoveling snow to mastering SEO before it was cool, DM spent his early years chasing one truth: he loved helping other people grow. That passion followed him everywhere—from his time as a pastor, where he learned the power of genuine communication, to decades in marketing, where he discovered that the best ideas don’t come from selling… they come from conversations. By his early 20s, DM realized his real calling wasn’t just entrepreneurship—it was partnering with other businesses to elevate their voices. That path led him into the legal world, where he spent more than 20 years helping attorneys grow their practices, refine their messaging, and build authority in a crowded marketplace. Then came 2023. A spark of an idea—The Legal Podcast Network—hit him with the force of something inevitable. As he spoke with attorneys, he kept hearing the same question: “Do you guys do podcasts?” The more he explored the concept, the more it grew. By early 2024, the vision was fully formed and officially launched. Today, DM is on a mission: helping attorneys—especially those in smaller or solo practices—step out of the shadows of generic content and into the spotlight of true authority. He believes attorneys shouldn’t sound like everyone else. They should sound like themselves—experienced, insightful, and human. Through The Legal Podcast Network, DM gives attorneys a platform to showcase their expertise, build trust, and attract the clients who truly fit their practice. Not by shouting louder, but by speaking more clearly. Because in DM’s world, authority isn’t claimed—it’s communicated.

Born into a family riddled with dysfunction, Adriene Caldwell knows what it means to be unwanted. When their mother becomes increasingly unstable, Adriene is the only person her baby brother David can rely on, despite her young age.

    The Buddha Way

    The essence of the teaching is simple: our feelings…happiness or unhappiness…are fleeting, often shaped by memory, reflection, or imagination rather than the present moment. By recognizing this, we can reduce suffering and cultivate calm, clarity, and resilience, all while living our everyday lives.
