This week, I chat with Janelle Rushton, Gift Officer at King's College to discuss the impact of higher education, the power of alumni connections, and the often-overlooked skill of active listening. Janelle shares her journey from being a phone-a-thon caller during her time as a student at Penn State to making a lasting difference in higher education and alumni engagement. We discuss the role of alumni in shaping universities, the changing landscape of higher ed, and why Penn State’s vast network remains a powerful force long after graduation. Plus, they dive into the lost art of listening—why it’s more than just hearing and how it can transform conversations and relationships.

Cocaine, Cartels, & the Rap Game: Hustling at the Highest Level | Ep.239: Ricky Robinson 54:19

13天之前54:19

54:19

In this episode, I sit down with Ricky Robinson, host of the If You Alive Subscribe Show! Ricky's life reads like a Hollywood script—fast money, high risks, and connections that stretched from the streets to the studio. In this raw and unfiltered episode, he takes us inside the world of hustling at the highest level, from moving weight with the Mexican drug cartel to rubbing shoulders with rap industry heavyweights. He opens up about how he made (and lost) millions in the drug game, the wiretap that changed everything, and the moment he realized the hustle came with an expiration date. Ricky doesn’t just talk about the cash—he reveals the harsh realities of dirty money, the paranoia that follows, and how it ultimately landed him with a 25-year conspiracy charge. Beyond the drug game, Ricky shares how the rap industry and the streets have always been intertwined, explaining why street credibility is currency in music and how the business side of hip-hop isn’t always what it seems. He also gets deeply personal, reflecting on how past trauma shaped his mindset, the pain of witnessing violence at a young age, and how he learned to cope with the scars of his past. From life behind bars to life after prison, he describes how incarceration became both a punishment and a blessing, the unexpected connections he made inside, and the lessons that transformed him.

Human trafficking isn’t just something you hear about on the news—it’s happening right here in Northeast Pennsylvania, often in ways most people don’t recognize. In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Tammi Burke, Chief Program Officer at the Victims Resource Center, who has spent over 35 years advocating for victims of violent crimes. Tammi shares the warning signs of trafficking, the local hotspots where it’s happening, and the tactics traffickers use to lure and control their victims. We also talk about the misconceptions that keep people from seeing the truth and why education and prevention are key to stopping this global crisis. This is a conversation everyone needs to hear. Whether you’re a parent, teacher, business owner, or just someone who wants to help, you’ll walk away knowing how to spot the red flags, protect the vulnerable, and be part of the solution. *If you believe you have identified someone still in the trafficking situation, alert law enforcement immediately at the numbers provided below.

The Daily Struggle For Food & Water: How MCF Saved My Life | Ep.233 Rio Juma 54:19

54:19

Today’s episode is the second of four inspiring episodes we filmed in Kenya during our unforgettable adventure in July 2024. In this episode, I sit down with Rio Juma, a beneficiary of Mully Children’s Family (MCF) in Ndalani, Kenya. Rio vividly recounts his childhood in Kibera, a slum in Nairobi, Kenya, where survival was a daily challenge. He shares the harsh realities of life in the slum—relentless struggles for basic necessities like food and water, endured within cramped, crumbling homes that barely held together. These fragile shelters offered little escape from the ever-present dangers of violence, rape, theft, and the heartbreaking struggles that defined his community. Despite these challenges, Rio’s story is one of hope and resilience. At the age of 13, Rio’s life took a transformative turn when he was rescued by the MCF Founder, Dr. Charles Mulli. This opportunity not only provided him with safety and stability but also opened doors to education and personal growth. Rio shares how the nurturing environment at MCF empowered him to rise above his circumstances and embrace a life of faith, purpose, and leadership.

Today’s episode is the first of four inspiring episodes we filmed in Kenya during our unforgettable adventure in July 2024. In this episode, I sit down with Professor Charles Mulli, Founder of Mully Children’s Family (MCF), a Christian based organization dedicated to transforming the lives of disadvantaged children. Since 1989, he has built MCF into a sanctuary for more than 35,000 orphaned and homeless children, providing them with education, healthcare, and a renewed sense of hope. Once a street boy abandoned by his parents, Mulli rose above his circumstances to become a self-made millionaire, building wealth through his ventures in transportation, real estate, and oil distribution. But everything changed the day he had his car stolen. This eye-opening encounter with street children in Nairobi brought back memories of his own childhood struggles, setting him on an unexpected path to give up his wealth and devote the rest of his life to rescuing Kenya’s most vulnerable children.

John Ferguson: New Jersey Drones Sniffing for Nuclear Warhead Smuggled into the United States | Ep.231 54:19

54:19

In this episode, I speak with John Ferguson, CEO of Saxon Aerospace/Saxon Unmanned and U.S. Marine Corps Veteran with over 25 years of experience in drone manufacturing for governmental agencies. John shares his belief that the mysterious drone sightings in New Jersey and other U.S. states could be connected to a covert U.S. government operation. According to his confidential source—who claims to have physically handled the warhead—the mission may involve recovering a missing nuclear device that was smuggled into the U.S., and is potentially tied to Ukraine’s unaccounted-for nuclear arsenal from the post-Soviet era. We dive into the chilling scenario that sounds straight out of an apocalyptic thriller. As a subject matter expert, he breaks down his theory regarding the high-stakes operation involving advanced drone technology currently deployed over New Jersey to locate and neutralize the potential threat. How did intelligence agencies uncover this alarming possibility? What role do drones play in detecting nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction? And how real is the danger of nuclear materials slipping through U.S. borders? We also talk about border control, immigration, child sex trafficking, and technological sharing between US and poverty-stricken nations to improve living conditions. Join us as we unpack the facts, the fears, and the cutting-edge technology that could potentially be our last line of defense. Enjoy!

What happens when algorithms decide what you can and cannot say? This episode with Markie Dennebaum ignites a spirited dialogue on the intricate dance between maintaining freedom of speech and practicing critical thinking. Throughout the episode, we don’t shy away from hot-button issues. From the controversial suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story to social media’s role in shaping public perception, we examine how misinformation and suppression by influential entities have potentially swayed political outcomes. The conversation extends to the contentious debates surrounding voter ID laws and the integrity of mail-in ballots, delving into past and present propaganda and media influence. Our discussion traverses the impact of government manipulation, media narratives, and the ongoing debates around vaccine safety, offering a critical examination of the extent to which these factors affect public consciousness. We also touch on the hidden health risks within the food industry and challenge the narratives surrounding vaccine safety and production. With humor and sincerity, we also dive into the nuances of cultural observations, the power of laughter, and the importance of engaging in meaningful, unscripted conversations. With a hopeful nod toward the potential for positive change and a candid discussion about political figures challenging the status quo, we invite listeners to engage with us in a pursuit of truth, understanding, and a better-informed society.

Today in the Sweat Tent studio, I am joined by Bobby Hughes, Executive Director for the Eastern Pennsylvania Coalition for Abandoned Mine Reclamation (EPCAMR). In this episode, we uncover the rich history and legacy of coal mining in the Wyoming Valley, focusing on the environmental impacts, challenges, and disasters that have shaped the region. We explore how the extensive underground mine pools, containing more than 400 billion gallons of water, impact local watersheds and lead to significant pollution issues. The presence of metals, particularly aluminum silicates, in the water creates toxic conditions that are detrimental to aquatic life and water quality. Bobby stresses the importance of collaboration among state representatives, local municipalities, and organizations like Earth Conservancy to secure funding for environmental restoration, emphasizing that this is a shared responsibility that requires collective action to build a sustainable future for generations to come.
