From Dirt We Grow

What happens when the justice system gets it wrong — and refuses to fix it? In this episode, I sit down with a co-founder of Voiceless Behind Bars , an organization dedicated to helping the wrongfully convicted and exposing serious flaws in the justice system. We talk about how innocent people end up behind bars, why so many cases are overlooked, and what it really takes to fight for freedom after...

We seem to accept anxiety and depression as personal problems — but what if they're actually responses to the societal and political climate we're living in? In this episode, I've invited Christine, a progressive counselor to the show. Her focus is across the lifespan — from kids and adolescents, to adults and healthcare workers — specializing in trauma, ADHD, anxiety, depression, and major life t...

What happens when everyday citizens try to use the constitution the way it was intended - to hold those in power accountable? That's just what Citizen's Impeachment has set out to do, an online movement that gained real momentum before it was suddenly stopped in it's tracks. According to one of the founders, Keira Havens, it wasn't lack of support that postponed their goal - it goes much deeper th...

Both political parties claim to represent the people. So why does nothing ever change? Today an open-source candidate, Winston Jordan, joins me on the show. He believes neither side is working for everyday Americans — and he's done waiting for them to fix it. Frustrated with the lack of movement on HR 415 and other stalled legislation, he decided to stop complaining and start building. Literally....

This episode features a women's rights advocate, an activist, a community volunteer, who ran for senate in 2024 - and didn't win. But that's not where her story ends. Instead of walking away, Tracy doubled down. Volunteering, organizing, showing up.  We talk about what running for office really costs, why losing doesn't mean failure, and how real change is often built far outside campaigning. We t...

He escaped control - twice.  But the most disturbing chapter of his life didn't look like a cult at all. Today's guest, Gabe Reed aka Gabe the Great, details his journey of survival, silence, and the search for meaning when the truth doesn't lead where you expect it to. ____________________________ JOIN THE FROM DIRT WE GROW FAMILY.

Running for congress in Michigan's 2nd district is Jamie Hill. With a background in healthcare, Jamie believes that by making it a single-payer system, many other societal breakdowns will begin to dissipate. They have a solid grasp on the snowball effect that the failings our current healthcare system has across housing, employment, mental health, and the justice system. They join me today to talk...

We're told to vote. Vote more. Vote every election like our lives depend on it. But after speaking with multiple candidates lately - people running without corporate money, without party machines, without special access - one truth kept surfacing. The problem isn't that people don't vote. The problem is who were allowed to vote for . So in this episode, we're breaking down how the political system...

When did politics stop serving people — and start serving donors? Or has it always been that way? In this conversation, I sit down with Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate Francesca Hong to talk about the issues that rarely get honest airtime: corporate influence, the truth about Wisconsin's prison stats, and the real-life consequences for working families, and farms, across Wisconsin. Full transpar...

In this episode I sit down with a true grassroots democrat. Someone who isn't backed by corporations, PAC's, or party elites; but by the people. Juan Arauz joins me for a real life, person to person, candid convo about why meaningful change can't happen in isolation. Healthcare, prison reform, immigration, education, economic policy - they're all connected. There's nothing off the table in this no...

Everyone agrees the system is broken — especially our education system. But how many of us are willing to step up to run against the political big dogs and do something about it? In this episode, I sit down with a congressional candidate from Louisiana who has spent his career inside the classroom, witnessing firsthand how policy decisions made from afar impact students, teachers, and families, ev...

Voting alone hasn't been enough and people are finally asking why. In this episode, I sit down with Rodney Glover, a gubernatorial candidate who's running on a bold idea: giving citizens constitutional, binding authority to hold elected officials accountable beyond the ballot box. This is where real issues meet real change: Why voting every few years isn't real accountability How power drifted awa...

Every month your paycheck gets drained before it even hits your hand - and most Americans have no idea how deep the system goes.

America is in crisis - and most of the politicians in power don't feel it, don't see it, or don't care.  But the people do. People that are living it everyday. People like Robert People. A grassroots congressional candidate who stepped up not for fame, not for money, not for a career... but because he was watching the country fall apart and couldn't sit back and watch anymore.

Yes, I'm referring to now, modern-day. The trend has become too strong to ignore. It's time to confront the disturbing rise in suspicious hanging deaths of Black men in America.
