The Sage Steele Show

 In this edition of The Sage Steele Show, I sit down with Jesse Watters for a conversation you do not usually see on television. We talk about life beyond the camera. Family, marriage, faith, confidence, mistakes, and what it actually takes to stay grounded while working in a nonstop media environment. Jesse opens up about lessons learned, how his personal life has shaped the way he shows up on TV...

In this episode, I sit down with Hodgetwins, and I can honestly say this might be the most I've ever laughed on this show. Yes, we talk about real issues. Culture. Politics. Identity. Accountability. But we also laugh a lot. Because that's who they are. Comedians who tell the truth without pretending it has to sound polished or safe. We get into what happens when you stop conforming, when you chal...

My dear friend  Samantha Ponder joins me for one of our most honest conversations yet.

I sat down with Dave Ramsey at his headquarters in Nashville for one of the most personal and inspiring conversations I've had on this show.

We talked about what it means to be a real leader, how faith guided him t...

Bear Handlon has lived a life of service, from the battlefield to the boardroom.

Scott Jennings has built a reputation for speaking truth to power on CNN, but what stood out to me in this conversation was his honesty, his perspective, and his heart.

We talked about what it takes to sit in the lion's den night after night, de...

This conversation was unlike any other because the roles were reversed. Instead of me asking the questions, my fiancé Dave Barbuto sat in the host chair and interviewed me just two days before our wedding. We talked about how we met, the values that anchor us, and the importance of our children and families as we prepare to blend our lives. We reflected on faith, love, and the lessons that brought...

I sat down with Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, and we covered just about everything.

This one was personal in a way I didn't expect. I sat down with Vivek Ramaswamy—not just to talk politics—but to talk about faith, family, and what drives him as a man. We got into what it was like growing up as the child of Indian immigrants, how his faith shapes the way he sees the world, and why he's more interested in speaking the truth than winning approval. Now running for governor of Ohio,...

It's been almost a year since @samanthaponder was abruptly fired by ESPN. Since then, she has been in a self-described hibernation…until now. This is not an interview, it's a conversation.

Being fired helped her marriage, helped her rel...
