    Doctors Couldn’t Heal Her So She Did It Herself | Sierra Meade

    The medical system gave her surgeries. It never gave her answers. After years of chronic pain, severe endometriosis, multiple surgeries, and a condition so rare that doctors didn't know how to treat it, Sierra Meade was forced to start searching for solutions on her own. What began as a personal health crisis turned into a mission to help others understand how the body actually works. In this episode of the Truth Hurts Show, Sierra shares her journey from being bedridden for weeks every month to discovering alternative approaches that completely changed her life. The conversation explores the rise of holistic health, the growing distrust in conventional medicine, chronic illness, nutrition, gut health, oral health, environmental toxins, and why so many people feel like they're being left to figure out their health problems alone. Sierra also explains why she created the Southern Utah Holistic Health Summit, bringing together some of the biggest names in the health and wellness space to share information that many people feel is missing from mainstream conversations. If you've ever felt frustrated by the healthcare system, struggled to find answers for a chronic condition, or wondered whether there's another path to healing, this episode will challenge how you think about health and wellness.

    FBI Hostage Negotiator Reveals How To Get Anything You Want | Chris Voss

    In this episode of the Truth Hurts Show, former FBI hostage negotiator and Never Split The Difference author Chris Voss breaks down the real psychology behind negotiation, interrogation, business deals, relationships, sales, and human behavior. Chris explains why FBI negotiation is built on applied emotional intelligence, why empathy is not sympathy, how to make people feel understood, and why the right words can get people to tell the truth without force. He also reveals the “have you given up on this?” text, the red flags of bad clients, why “win win” can be a manipulation tactic, and how saying no to the wrong deals can make your business explode. From hostage negotiations and kidnappings to real estate, sales calls, relationships, and entrepreneurship, this conversation exposes the negotiation mistakes most people make every day. This episode will change the way you talk, listen, sell, negotiate, and do business. Follow US!

    Addiction At 11, Prison Before 18, & Escaping A Pimp | Glynis Franz

    She was making thousands of dollars a week as a high end escort while secretly living a second life in the streets of Los Angeles. Meth addiction. Pimps. Gang members. Smuggling illegal immigrants across the border. Federal prison. Skid Row. This episode with Glynis Franz exposes a world most people never see, a dark underground economy fueled by drugs, manipulation, desperation, and survival. Glynis opens up about working under a pimp fresh out of federal prison, becoming a “bottom girl,” navigating the dangerous escort world, and eventually building her own client empire while spiraling deeper into addiction. She reveals how she ended up transporting immigrants through border checkpoints, getting arrested by Homeland Security, and serving time in federal prison during COVID. After losing everything, her money, freedom, apartment, identity, and nearly her life, Glynis rebuilt herself from the ground up.

Sheriff Bianco goes directly at Gavin Newsom, Sacramento insiders, lobbyists, and the political machine he believes is bleeding California dry while everyday people struggle just to survive. He also reveals the shocking reality behind crime policies, anti-police legislation, illegal immigration, collapsing education standards, housing regulations, and why so many families are fleeing the state. This episode gets intense fast as Bianco discusses death threats, massive security concerns during his campaign, government waste, media manipulation, and the growing divide between politicians and ordinary Americans.

    A Cop's Confession: 'We Have Almost Zero Training” | Suresh Madhavan

    The public thinks cops are highly trained. They’re not and that should worry you. In this episode, former officer and 221B Tactical founder Suresh Madhavan exposes a hard truth: police are thrown into life-or-death situations with minimal real training, far beyond just guns or driving. From domestic violence to death notifications, they’re expected to handle chaos with little preparation. He also shares his journey, growing up facing racism, the mindset his mother instilled in him, how 9/11 shaped his path, and what 15 years in law enforcement taught him about a broken system. After 15 years of wearing the badge, he learned the hard way how broken the system really is. Then he turned that frustration into a business built from his garage, solving a problem cops had been complaining about for a decade. This is a raw conversation about pressure, discipline, grief, and the reality most people don’t see. Follow US!
