Welcome back to Rumbling Facts Podcast, where uncomfortable truths meet real growth, and where critical thinking rules over comfort zones. In this powerful episode, your host Sam (aka DjRetsam) dives deep with a guest who embodies modern hustle in the entertainment world — Ryan Galway, the founder and CEO of Sleepless LYFE, artist manager, tour manager, podcast host, and multi-venture entrepreneur redefining what it means to build a brand with passion and purpose. Ryan’s story bridges the worlds of music, travel, and business — and it’s all about taking risks, staying authentic, and turning dreams into a sustainable legacy.
From his early days as a musician to managing high-energy tours and building Ryan & The Remedy, Ryan has crafted a journey fueled by relentless ambition. His band’s upcoming single “Valentine”, from the much-anticipated album “Heart Matter,” represents not just creative evolution but the heart behind his entire brand.
Throughout this conversation, Ryan gets raw about the uncomfortable truths he’s learned in the entertainment industry — the moral dilemmas, the behind-the-scenes politics, and the sacrifices that come with chasing big dreams. He shares how working with icons like Janet Gardner and The Amazing Kreskin shaped his business mindset, and how he’s learned to turn setbacks into strategies. Together, we break down what’s really happening behind the curtains of the music world — what’s broken, what’s evolving, and what it truly takes to survive and thrive as an artist or entrepreneur in 2025.
Ryan also opens up about the process of building a lifestyle brand from scratch — the roadblocks, the sleepless nights, and the breakthroughs that taught him the importance of vision and adaptability. His advice for creators, entrepreneurs, and musicians is brutally honest: success isn’t about luck, it’s about alignment, hard work, and learning to move through discomfort.
This episode isn’t just about business — it’s about mindset. We challenge each other with critical thinking questions that push beyond the surface: what would Ryan do if given $10 million to solve one global problem? What would he tell his 18-year-old self if he only had 30 seconds? How does he balance intuition with logic when making life-changing decisions? His answers reflect the mindset of a creator who’s been through the grind and learned to think like a strategist, not just a dreamer.
So tune in, lock in, and get ready to rumble with truth, growth, and inspiration. This is Rumbling Facts Podcast, where the game gets dissected, and legends get made.

In this deep, unfiltered episode of the Rumbling Facts Podcast, DjRetsam (aka Sam) sits down with Melissa Murphy Pavone, a certified financial planner and divorce financial analyst who is flipping the script on how we view money, love, and long-term stability. Melissa is not just a numbers expert—she’s a mindfulness-based financial coach on a mission to teach couples and individuals how to heal financial trauma, prevent financial infidelity, and create lives rooted in clarity, trust, and emotional wellness.With a strong background in finance from major institutions like UBS and Oppenheimer, Melissa noticed something most advisors ignore—money problems weren’t just about budgets; they were emotional, psychological, and deeply personal. These silent money issues were destroying marriages, triggering divorces, and keeping people stuck in cycles of guilt and confusion. That realization sparked her purpose-driven mission: to create a holistic financial practice where money conversations aren’t taboo—they’re transformational.Together, Sam and Melissa uncover the uncomfortable truths that most experts shy away from:💥 What financial infidelity really looks like—and why couples don’t see it coming💥 How childhood money trauma silently controls adult financial behavior💥 Why money is the #1 cause of divorce—and what couples can do to prevent it💥 What it means to plan mindfully, especially during major life transitions like divorce or retirement💥 How to build financial trust between partners—even if one is starting from a place of secrecy or fearThis conversation isn’t just for married folks. If you’ve ever • Felt stuck financially and didn’t know why • Found yourself repeating destructive patterns with money • Argued with your partner over spending, saving, or power • Wanted to shift your financial mindset, but didn’t know where to begin—Then this episode is absolutely for youMelissa also breaks down why collaborative divorce is a game-changer for couples going through separation, how empathy and transparency create stronger financial strategies, and how her own personal story—rooted in her mother’s struggles—inspired her entire philosophy.✅ A deeper understanding of the emotional roots of your financial behavior✅ Tools to start real conversations about money with your partner✅ A fresh perspective on how financial planning can support your mental health, not just your wallet✅ Empowering ideas to break generational money trauma and replace it with conscious financial legacy-building “Money doesn’t ruin marriages—unspoken stories and shame around it do.”“You don’t need more money to feel secure—you need more clarity, connection, and confidence.”“The truth is, most financial conflict has nothing to do with money and everything to do with fear and past wounds.”🧠 Rumbling Facts is where uncomfortable truths collide with real growth.👑 Critical thinking is king.🎤 This is the conversation you didn’t know you needed.Melissa Pavone LINKSWebsitehttps://mindfulfinancialpartners.com/Website #2https://mindfuldivorcepartners.com/Website #3https://www.moneymattersinmarriagellc.com/LinkedIn URLhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/melissamurphypavoneYour Host = Sam Gladu @DjRetsam @Retsam64 PODCAST LINKS Rumbling Facts Podcast on SPOTIFYhttps://open.spotify.com/show/28EVivBWPFZ25qSDwTUWSn?si=795e94fc93404d5bRumbling Facts Podcast on RUMBLEhttps://rumble.com/c/RumblingFactsPodcastRumbling Facts Clips on RUMBLEhttps://rumble.com/c/c-5646792ALL LINKS Sam DjRetsamhttp://linktr.ee/djretsamMUSIC on SPOTIFY https://open.spotify.com/artist/3YgKupXc2ID3mnPZOlgJ2H?si=DQDD43iIRbOMAmydUMu1hwALL my Releases in 1 PLAYLIST-https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2gNzano55YrL39Gmlgk1pH?si=3e97588c182b470ehttps://www.instagram.com/djretsam/https://www.tiktok.com/@SamGladu https://twitter.com/samgladuhttps://www.facebook.com/DjRetsamhttps://rumble.com/user/DjRetsamhttps://www.youtube.com/@UC2OrYbprFHlOkOiWScR74dA
Welcome back to the 80th episode of Rumbling Facts Podcast where cultured truth meets real growth in mentality, spirituality, and knowledge. In this powerhouse episode, your host Sam—aka DjRetsam—sits down with Matt DiGeronimo, a former U.S. Navy Lieutenant Commander who mastered leadership in one of the most high-pressure environments on Earth: nuclear submarines. But this episode goes far beyond military insights. Matt has transformed his submarine experience into life-changing leadership strategies for business, self-development, and decision-making under stress. With a background steeped in discipline, clarity, and relentless focus, Matt now helps organizations and individuals develop Extreme Operational Excellence—and today, he brings that blueprint directly to you.Together, Sam and Matt dig deep into the truth about pressure, leadership, and growth. You’ll hear what most people get completely wrong about life aboard a submarine, and how Matt developed the mental toughness and emotional discipline to lead a crew where failure isn’t an option. He shares how “disciplined listening” and not needing the loudest voice became some of the most powerful tools in his arsenal—and how these same skills can help anyone navigate relationships, teams, or boardrooms. Matt doesn’t sugarcoat reality. In the Uncomfortable Truths segment, he confronts the messy parts of leadership—the biases he had to unlearn, the moment he realized he was the villain in someone else’s story, and a raw look at how society celebrates systems and values that are often completely backward.Sam pushes the conversation further with questions about weaponized certainty, echo chambers, and why nuance has become so rare in our divided world. Matt breaks down why the obsession with “being right” actually poisons real communication—and how to apply the 20/60/20 rule to decide when to speak, lead, or walk away. The idea of “mental judo” becomes a key theme, showing how to influence without resistance, and how even small shifts in language can have massive ripple effects on thought, culture, and relationships. This isn’t just theory. Matt shares real stories from both the submarine world and corporate life where these tools saved missions, avoided disasters, and unlocked performance under pressure.We also dive into his books—Breadcrumbs, Dear Hunter, and Suck: We Struggle, Therefore We Are—and explore the wisdom he hopes to leave behind not just for readers, but for his own son. He talks about the value of discomfort, how leadership begins with the self, and why struggle has become his greatest teacher. In the Critical Thinking segment, Matt unpacks how he trained himself to see nuance, spot blind spots, and make bold decisions even when intuition flew in the face of logic. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, coach, veteran, or just a curious soul trying to level up, this episode hits hard. It’s for the ones who want real wisdom—not fluff—and who understand that truth doesn’t always come gift-wrapped.Matt DiGeronimoWebsitehttps://beyondplatitudes.substack.com/LinkedIn URLhttps://linkedin.com/in/mjdigeronimoYouTube URLhttps://youtube.com/@mjdigeronimoYour Host = Sam Gladu @DjRetsam @Retsam64 PODCAST LINKS Rumbling Facts Podcast on SPOTIFYhttps://open.spotify.com/show/28EVivBWPFZ25qSDwTUWSn?si=795e94fc93404d5bRumbling Facts Podcast on RUMBLEhttps://rumble.com/c/RumblingFactsPodcastRumbling Facts Clips on RUMBLEhttps://rumble.com/c/c-5646792ALL LINKS Sam DjRetsamhttp://linktr.ee/djretsamMUSIC on SPOTIFY https://open.spotify.com/artist/3YgKupXc2ID3mnPZOlgJ2H?si=DQDD43iIRbOMAmydUMu1hwALL my Releases in 1 PLAYLIST-https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2gNzano55YrL39Gmlgk1pH?si=3e97588c182b470ehttps://www.instagram.com/djretsam/https://www.tiktok.com/@SamGladu https://twitter.com/samgladuhttps://www.facebook.com/DjRetsamhttps://rumble.com/user/DjRetsamhttps://www.youtube.com/@UC2OrYbprFHlOkOiWScR74dA
Ukraine Russia Talk show with Jonathan Lockwoodhttps://www.youtube.com/@PODTVTVShows-tg6cu Welcome back to the Rumbling Facts Podcast—where uncomfortable truths collide with reality and critical thinking reigns supreme. In this explosive new episode, host Sam—aka DjRetsam—returns with none other than Dr. Jonathan Lockwood, retired U.S. Army Intelligence Colonel and GS-15 from the Department of Homeland Security, for a second round of jaw-dropping insight, analysis, and truth bombs that you won’t hear anywhere else.If you missed Episode 69, we explored Jonathan’s incredible military and intelligence background, his time at DHS, and his bold work as the author of The Russian View of US Strategy and The Lockwood Analytical Method for Prediction (LAMP). Now, we’re turning up the heat.In this episode, we dive deep into the Russia-Ukraine war—and not just the mainstream media version. Jonathan breaks down the real motivations behind Putin’s invasion, the disinformation campaigns distorting international narratives, and the cultural-historical myths being weaponized by Russian leadership to justify aggression. You’ll learn how the West’s missteps and overreliance on sanctions may be reshaping the future of global power dynamics—and whether or not the U.S. should have more skin in the game.We confront some hard-hitting questions:Is Ukraine really seen as “not a country” by the Kremlin?Are we underestimating how long this war could go?Is Putin playing 4D chess—or just reacting to a long-broken system?And perhaps most crucial: What’s the worst-case scenario if this war spills beyond Ukraine’s borders?Then we pivot to the skies—literally. Enter the “Golden Dome.” What is it? Why did Trump propose it? And could such a strategic missile defense system be America’s Iron Dome moment—or a costly fantasy? Jonathan Lockwood unpacks the military feasibility, budget realities, and the global diplomatic consequences of building such a shield. He also reveals how this proposal ties back to larger strategic objectives in the Middle East and how it could either stabilize or escalate tensions with rival powers.But this episode isn’t just about geopolitics and missiles—it’s about uncomfortable truths that challenge the human experience. Lockwood shares powerful reflections from a life inside the intelligence machine, including classified-now-declassified missions, gut-wrenching moral decisions, and the psychological cost of being on the frontlines of national security. We ask:• Have you ever realized you were the villain in someone else’s story?• What’s the cost of loyalty in love, war, and life?• And what’s a “harmless” lie society keeps repeating that’s actually dangerous?From there, we explore critical thinking and off-script growth: The Russian View of U.S. Strategy: Its Past, Its Futurehttps://www.amazon.com/Russian-Strategy-Jonathan-Lockwood-1993-01-01/dp/B019L4L4O6/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0 The Lockwood Analytical Method for Prediction (LAMP): A Method for Predictive Intelligence Analysishttps://www.amazon.com/Lockwood-Analytical-Method-Prediction-LAMP/dp/1623562406/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0 Your Host = Sam Gladu @DjRetsam @Retsam64 PODCAST LINKS Rumbling Facts Podcast on SPOTIFYhttps://open.spotify.com/show/28EVivBWPFZ25qSDwTUWSn?si=795e94fc93404d5bRumbling Facts Podcast on RUMBLEhttps://rumble.com/c/RumblingFactsPodcastRumbling Facts Clips on RUMBLEhttps://rumble.com/c/c-5646792ALL LINKS Sam DjRetsamhttp://linktr.ee/djretsamMUSIC on SPOTIFY https://open.spotify.com/artist/3YgKupXc2ID3mnPZOlgJ2H?si=DQDD43iIRbOMAmydUMu1hwALL my Releases in 1 PLAYLIST-https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2gNzano55YrL39Gmlgk1pH?si=3e97588c182b470ehttps://www.instagram.com/djretsam/https://www.tiktok.com/@SamGladu https://twitter.com/samgladuhttps://www.facebook.com/DjRetsamhttps://rumble.com/user/DjRetsamhttps://www.youtube.com/@UC2OrYbprFHlOkOiWScR74dA
Welcome back to the Rumbling Facts Podcast, the home of truth bombs, critical thinking, and uncomfortable wisdom that hits harder than a corporate layoff. I’m your host, Sam—aka DjRetsam, rapper, real one, and founder of Making Others Read, where we’ve given away over 105,000 books to communities who need knowledge more than slogans. And today, we’re going deep into the multi-billion-dollar illusion of advertising, the broken system you’re being sold to by every second—and why most of it is a damn lie.Our guest is Jon Sneider, a legend in the ad world who didn’t just play the game—he hacked it. From humble beginnings selling Wave Radios for Bose over the phone to managing a $20M sales team while getting his MBA at night, Jon climbed to the top of corporate marketing. He ran massive campaigns at Digitas for brands like GM, AT&T, Microsoft, and Time Warner, then jumped client-side to overhaul Fidelity.com, before becoming Director of Advertising & Brand at L.L. Bean, where he added national TV and digital campaigns to his arsenal. Then came Microsoft. Yeah—that Microsoft, where he managed eight-figure budgets and worked with the world’s biggest ad agencies. But after years of watching big money burn with little return, he saw through the illusion—and walked away.Jon launched Wild Gravity with no capital, no team, and no buildings—just a mission to prove advertising could be done smarter, leaner, and better. Within three months, he had two trillion-dollar clients, and the agency became a multi-million-dollar machine. His book, Hacking Advertising, exposes the ugly truths behind agency waste, the myths of “branding,” and offers a blueprint for creators, entrepreneurs, and CMOs who actually want results—not awards.In this raw, no-fluff conversation, we break down the biggest lies ad agencies still sell, the truth about billion-dollar inefficiencies, and why most CMOs don’t even understand their own brand. Jon shares the most dysfunctional ad campaigns that somehow worked, and the uncomfortable truth: human nature loves fluff, and most people in power are faking it with big words and bigger budgets. We dig into how he convinced trillion-dollar companies to bet on a brand-new agency, what exact phrases closed the deals, and how he handles the psychology of risk at the highest level.This episode is for creators, business owners, and truth-seekers who want to understand the difference between a brand that wins and one that just throws money at impressions. We talk $5,000 budgets, going viral, how to build trust in cutthroat rooms, and why most companies confuse noise with impact. Jon drops his most underrated skill that made him millions, the biggest mindset shift entrepreneurs need in 2025, and reveals the dumbest trends in advertising people blindly copy.From critical thinking, to uncomfortable truths, to rebuilding the ad world from scratch—this is marketing through the Rumbling Facts lens: unfiltered, strategic, and savage.Jon Sneider LINKSWebsitehttps://hackingadvertising.com/LinkedIn URLhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/sneiderInstagramhttps://www.instagram.com/jonsneiderYour Host = Sam Gladu @DjRetsam @Retsam64 PODCAST LINKS Rumbling Facts Podcast on SPOTIFYhttps://open.spotify.com/show/28EVivBWPFZ25qSDwTUWSn?si=795e94fc93404d5bRumbling Facts Podcast on RUMBLEhttps://rumble.com/c/RumblingFactsPodcastRumbling Facts Clips on RUMBLEhttps://rumble.com/c/c-5646792ALL LINKS Sam DjRetsamhttp://linktr.ee/djretsamMUSIC on SPOTIFY https://open.spotify.com/artist/3YgKupXc2ID3mnPZOlgJ2H?si=DQDD43iIRbOMAmydUMu1hwALL my Releases in 1 PLAYLIST-https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2gNzano55YrL39Gmlgk1pH?si=3e97588c182b470ehttps://www.instagram.com/djretsam/https://www.tiktok.com/@SamGladu https://twitter.com/samgladuhttps://www.facebook.com/DjRetsamhttps://rumble.com/user/DjRetsamhttps://www.youtube.com/@UC2OrYbprFHlOkOiWScR74dA
Welcome to the Rumbling Facts Podcast—where uncomfortable truths collide with critical thinking, and we have raw, unfiltered conversations that spark real growth for the real ones. We’re the #1 destination for challenging the narrative, diving deep into the topics most people avoid, and unlocking the knowledge that’s waiting to be uncovered. Today’s 77th episode we have a guest who is a true pioneer, someone whose life journey has taken her from running away as a young woman, hitchhiking across the country, and eventually serving in the Air Force to becoming one of the most respected figures in a world most people don’t fully understand. She is Air Force Amy—Madame at the Alien Cat House in Las Vegas—a legal courtesan and outspoken advocate for sex workers’ rights. Amy has defied all the the odds and shown that you can build a career on your own terms, all while fighting for respect, dignity, and equal rights for those in the profession.From hitchhiking across America as a runaway teen to becoming a decorated U.S. Air Force veteran, and ultimately one of the most iconic legal courtesans in Nevada history—Air Force Amy has lived a life most couldn’t imagine. Now the Madam at the Alien Cathouse near Area 51, Amy joins the Rumbling Facts Podcast to share the raw, unfiltered truth about her journey through addiction, trauma, sexuality, military service, and 35 years inside legal brothels.In this explosive and emotional episode, DJ Retsam (Sam) digs deep into Amy’s transformation—from surviving the underbelly of America to becoming a powerful voice for sex workers’ rights, mental health, and human empowerment. We go behind the scenes of HBO’s Cathouse series, explore the surreal atmosphere of the Alien Cathouse, and uncover the real business, relationships, and emotional dynamics inside legal prostitution. Amy drops eye-opening insights into what men really want, the hidden emotional needs of clients, and how ageism, morality, trauma, and spirituality collide in one of the world’s most misunderstood industries.From talking about military sexual trauma, PTSD, and mental health to discussing buttplugs shaped like UFOs, this conversation covers it all—nothing is off limits. We also challenge popular media myths about sex workers, look into the challenges they face with banking, legal acceptance, and societal judgment, and dive into the impact of platforms like OnlyFans and the rise of digital sex work.If you think you understand sex, relationships, or the human condition—think again. This episode is filled with uncomfortable truths, street-earned wisdom, and a reminder that no matter how unconventional your path may be, your story matters.📚 Hosted by @DjRetsam — rapper, creator, and founder of Making Others Read, with over 100,000 books donated to underserved communities.Air Force Amy LINKSWebsitehttp://www.airforceamy.comWebsite #2http://www.allmylinks.com/airforceamyWebsite #3https://aliencathouse.com/cosmic_kitten/madam-amy/Twitter URLhttps://twitter.com/airforceamyYouTube URLhttps://youtube.com/user164877228Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/airforceamyvegasYour Host = Sam Gladu @DjRetsam PODCAST LINKS Rumbling Facts Podcast on SPOTIFYhttps://open.spotify.com/show/28EVivBWPFZ25qSDwTUWSn?si=795e94fc93404d5bRumbling Facts Podcast on RUMBLEhttps://rumble.com/c/RumblingFactsPodcastRumbling Facts Clips on RUMBLEhttps://rumble.com/c/c-5646792ALL LINKS Sam DjRetsamhttp://linktr.ee/djretsamMUSIC on SPOTIFY https://open.spotify.com/artist/3YgKupXc2ID3mnPZOlgJ2H?si=DQDD43iIRbOMAmydUMu1hwALL my Releases in 1 PLAYLIST-https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2gNzano55YrL39Gmlgk1pH?si=3e97588c182b470ehttps://www.instagram.com/djretsam/https://www.tiktok.com/@SamGladu https://twitter.com/samgladuhttps://www.facebook.com/DjRetsamhttps://rumble.com/user/DjRetsamhttps://www.youtube.com/@UC2OrYbprFHlOkOiWScR74dA

Hosted by your truely Sam, aka DjRetsam, this show is all about challenging the script and diving into the issues most people avoid. Today, I’m thrilled to be joined by Elgin Hushbeck and Larissa Munz, the dynamic duo behind the podcast Into The Desert. Elgin is a prolific author with 11 books to his name, spanning topics like politics, religion, and critical thinking. His career has taken him from engineering to Christian apologetics and even working with NASA on the Voyager Flight Team. But beyond his remarkable credentials, what makes Elgin and Larissa truly stand out is their unwavering commitment to tackling uncomfortable truths and pushing the boundaries of conventional thinking.In a time when division seems to be the norm, Elgin and Larissa work to bridge the cultural and political gaps that continue to polarize society. They don’t shy away from difficult discussions or hard truths—whether about the role of religion in politics, the problems with the two-party system, or the uncomfortable realities of democracy and how it is evolving. Their mission is simple yet powerful: to foster understanding and create consensus around some of the most contentious issues of our time. They challenge the status quo and dare to ask the questions that most people are afraid to answer.His career teaching critical thinking at institutions like the University of Phoenix and Rasmussen College has given him a unique perspective on the power of education in shaping our worldview, and he shares insight on how to teach people to look beyond the surface of things and question what they’re told.. As he and Larissa explore the political divides in the United States, they also ask tough questions about the future of democracy and what’s at risk. They address how to navigate this political climate while still finding ways to connect, build consensus, and not fall prey to the growing polarization.But it’s not just about politics. In this episode, we dive into a series of uncomfortable truths, biggest misconception about politics in the media and movies. The importance of critical thinking—a topic Elgin has spent much of his career teaching.We share our thoughts on the challenge of getting people to truly think critically in today’s world and how we can overcome the barriers that prevent us from embracing new ideas or perspectives.This episode is packed with hard-hitting insights and thought-provoking questions—exactly what you can expect from the Rumbling Facts Podcast.

In this powerful 74th episode of the Rumbling Facts Podcast, DjRetsam sits down with one of the most inspiring women in the world today: Dr. Kelly “Kellfire” Barron. Not only is Kelly a world-record powerlifter, MMA fighter, and American Ninja Warrior competitor, but she is also a Certified Menopause Specialist who is on a mission to transform the way women approach their health and strength. Through her own incredible journey of survival and reinvention, Kelly has become a beacon of strength, not just physically but mentally and emotionally.
Kelly’s story begins with personal trauma, where she faced life-altering events that could’ve broken her spirit. But instead, she channeled that pain into power. We dive deep into how Kelly’s resilience led her to excel in a world dominated by men, including her record-breaking feats in powerlifting and MMA. And her journey didn’t stop there—she’s taken on the role of empowering women, especially those going through menopause.
Kelly talks about her path from trauma survivor to world champion, and how she transformed herself along the way. She doesn’t shy away from the difficult truths, especially about the physical and emotional struggles women face in their journeys—whether it’s menopause, physical abuse, or the societal pressures that limit them. Her insights into the psychological resilience it takes to rebuild yourself and thrive, even after unimaginable hardships, are a game-changer.
What makes this episode even more special is that Sam shares personal insights from his own life—particularly about his mother’s experiences with midlife—and how Kelly’s work resonates with families going through similar challenges.
The episode also touches on some real-world examples and practical advice about self-defense for women. Kelly offers invaluable tips on how women can protect themselves in different situations, whether at home, in public, or in more dangerous environments.
Kelly proves that being a woman doesn’t mean being fragile—it means being unbreakable. This episode is filled with incredible life lessons, empowerment tips, and truths that will inspire anyone who listens to step into their own power and take control of their health, body, and mind.
This isn’t just an episode about a powerful woman’s career; it’s about life-altering transformations and how we can all push past our limits. Kelly’s story will remind you that no matter how difficult the path, there’s always a way to reclaim your fire and rise stronger than ever before. Her journey is proof that trauma doesn’t define you—your strength does.
This episode is one of those that you’ll come back to again and again for the truth, insight, and fire it brings. Kelly Barron is here to change the conversation around women’s health and empowerment—and you won’t want to miss it.

Welcome back to the 73rd episode of Rumbling Facts Podcast, this is your #1 destination to challenge the status quo, dissect the system, think outside the box, and extract raw, unfiltered wisdom every single episode, no matter how it rumbles your perception. - This is where our guests uncomfortable truths collide with our reality to fast-track our understanding of life. - This is where critical thinking is king & promoted, and where our guests and the Rumbling Facts Tribe get pushed to think out of comfort zones and challenge what theyve been told.This episode is for the real ones—the truth seekers, critical thinkers, and everyone tired of shallow talk and fake answers. In this mind-altering and soul-shifting conversation, DjRetsam (Sam Gladu) sits down with the one and only G. Scott Graham—a man who lives life unfiltered, unchained, and unapologetically on his own terms. Scott isn’t your average guest. Scott is a different breed. He’s not here to sell you comfort—he’s here to tell you the truth, even when it stings. He’s a psychedelic integration coach, a licensed substance abuse counselor, a Toastmaster, Appalachian Trail conqueror, silent meditation practitioner, and the author of over 26 books on everything from grief, psychedelics, pattleboarding with dogs, gardening to self-discipline to spirituality. Oh—and he’s spent over 1,600 nights sleeping outside.He has decades of experience in psychedelic coaching, substance abuse counseling, meditation, and self development, Scott brings a worldview shaped not by theory, but by practice. From silent meditation retreats that lasted 262 days to hiking some of the toughest trails in the world—including the Appalachian Trail, GR20, and The Long Trail—his life is built around radical honesty, discomfort, and spiritual integrity. His 262 days of silence weren’t peaceful—they were confrontational, brutal, transformational. The episode takes a raw turn as Scott opens up about grief, and how the death of a loved one triggered not just sadness, but awakening. He doesn’t run from pain—he integrates it. Through that lens, he shares how grief is not a curse, but a gift, if you know how to lean into it and extract the truth. This is mental combat, spiritual growth, and raw reflection. Scott also shares what it really means to follow your True Azimuth—a concept deeper than just a “life purpose” or “path.” It’s about alignment with something higher, not just what feels good. This episode is packed with value from start to finish—raw, uncomfortable, real—just how we like it at Rumbling Facts. Whether you’re a spiritual explorer, someone in recovery, a truth-seeker, or just someone tired of sleepwalking through life, Scott’s message is a wake-up call. G.
