Send us a textIn this episode of Game For All Seasons with Coach E, the crew closes out the year with a wide-ranging, unfiltered conversation — the kind of real dialogue you won't get from highlight shows or headline chasers.We open the episode with a live phone interview with longtime friend Christian Wise Smith, who announces his candidacy for Georgia Labor Commissioner — a role in which he would become only the second Black person ever elected if he wins. The conversation dives into politics, labor, leadership, and community impact, offering meaningful insight beyond surface-level political talk.Coach E sets the holiday tone with a holiday party recap and reflections on transitioning into the new year, before the conversation shifts into sports. The crew breaks down boxing culture and Jake Paul, including Anthony Joshua's knockout, contract clauses, legacy debates, and whether influencer boxing is helping or hurting the sport. Real boxing comparisons follow, featuring Bud Crawford, Canelo Alvarez, Floyd Mayweather, Tyson Fury, and more — separating hype from true skill.From there, the crew tackles Myles Garrett's historic, record-breaking season and why it continues to be overlooked, reacts to the viral DK Metcalf fan interactions, and addresses the growing NFL quarterback pipeline crisis. The discussion digs into leadership, accountability, player development, and why fan patience runs out when expectations don't match on-field results.As always, the episode closes with the Post Game Word — “Where Do We Go From Here?” — challenging listeners to focus on real goals for 2025, not just short-lived New Year's resolutions.This episode is about truth over comfort, conversation over clicks, and perspective over noise.Tap in, get inspired, and get your weekly dose of game.

He explains why condemning Trump at maximum volume may feel righteous but often fails politically, and why selective outrage — especially around war, deportation, and national security — undermines credibility across party lines. Chris also answers comments about his clashes with media figures like Don Lemon, Jim Acosta, and Mehdi Hasan, reflects on how algorithms reward anger over judgment, and explains why he refuses to build a personal brand around hate or tribal loyalty.

Back to the ass-kicking…How badly do you actually want the life you say you want? This episode is a direct conversation about commitment, purpose, and the uncomfortable truth most people avoid. I'm not here to motivate you. I'm here to ask you a question that changes everything. Because most people will never achieve their dreams. Not because they can't, but because they aren't willing to do what it takes. In this episode, I talk about the difference between a pipe dream and a mission. Why words mean nothing without action. Why comfort keeps you stuck. And why the people you admire are willing to do things most people won't. I share my own story, the trauma I survived, the clarity I have about why I'm here, and why I refuse to live a small life. Not because it's easy, but because the mission is bigger than me. This is an end-of-year conversation. The kind that asks you to get honest with yourself before you carry excuses into another year. In this episode, we cover: • Why most people never follow through on their vision • The difference between wanting something and being committed to it • Why motivation fades but purpose doesn't • What comfort and safety are actually costing you • Why proximity, mentorship, and investment matter • What you're willing to do when it actually matters If this episode hits, let me know.

Send us a textAs we head toward the end of the year, I wanted to do something a little different with this episode.Instead of rushing straight into goal-setting, planning, and “new year, new energy” vibes, I wanted to create space to pause. To reflect. To actually look at what just happened in your business before you try to fix, change, or overhaul anything.Because every year I see the same pattern.We finish the year tired, relieved it's over, and already thinking about what's next. New goals, new plans, new strategies. And while I love that energy, what often gets skipped is reflection.Not reflection to beat yourself up.Not reflection to replay every mistake.But reflection so you don't carry the same patterns into a new year and expect different results.In this episode, I walk you through the questions I think every product-based business owner needs to ask themselves. We talk about effort versus effectiveness, busy versus profitable, and why “fine” is not the same as sustainable.I also share why looking at your numbers matters more than ever, how to review your time and energy honestly, and why enjoyment and creativity still need a seat at the table if you want a business you actually want to grow.This episode is your permission slip to slow down, get curious, and reflect without pressure.If you want support with this process, I've linked my free Business Review & Reset download here, along with a vision board exercise if you like planning visually. You'll also find links to Transform Your Wholesale and Roadmap to Profit, depending on where you're at in your business.And if you're already multi-six figures and thinking about what's next, there's a waitlist link here for a new next-level option I'm building for 2026.I'm taking a short break from the podcast after this episode to reflect, refine, and build what's next with intention.

Spiritual awakening in 2025 is changing fast. In this video, I share the top 5 spiritual lessons of 2025, including how AI can weaken intuition, why nervous system healing is essential for spiritual growth, and what it really means to trust your inner guidance during awakening.If you're experiencing a spiritual awakening, developing your intuition, or feeling overwhelmed by information, technology, or AI tools, these lessons will help you reconnect to your inner knowing in a grounded, embodied way.Sharing my top 5 Reality Check Breakthroughs I had this year. In 2025, my spiritual growth changed in ways I didn't expect... This year taught me that spiritual growth isn't linear — it's a spiral, intuition isn't something you “optimize,” and that over-reliance on AI and external guidance can quietly disconnect us from our inner knowing.In this video, I share the top 5 spiritual lessons I learned in 2025, including how intuition develops through nervous system regulation, why growth often reveals itself in strange ways, and how learning to feel safe with uncertainty is essential for spiritual awakening (and the collective chaos happening all around us) This isn't about rejecting technology — it's about discernment, embodiment, and reclaiming intuitive authority in a world that constantly pulls us outward.Lets be clear i'm not anti-AI but I SURE think it's doing something bts to our intuition if we're not careful and it's DESTROYING FREE THINKING. Let's talk about it.✨ In this video, you'll learn:Why spiritual growth happens in spirals, not straight linesHow intuition acts as your guiding post during awakeningThe hidden ways AI can suppress free thinking and intuition when used as a crutchWhy nervous system healing is foundational for intuitive developmentHow to feel safe walking with uncertainty instead of forcing answersIf you're navigating a spiritual awakening, emotional healing, intuition development, or feeling overwhelmed by information overload, this episode is for you.Before you go don't forget:

With economic approval hovering in the mid-30s and affordability still squeezing households, this episode cuts through the spin to examine why voters remain unhappy. From a mediocre jobs market and rising youth unemployment to AI-driven layoffs and tariff policies that raise manufacturing costs, the challenges are real and measurable. The message is simple: gimmicks won't fix this. Acknowledging the problem and pivoting toward policies that actually bring prices down may be the only way forward—politically and economically.

Show Featured Sponsor: Werks Holsters "WE MAKE HOLSTERS FOR PISTOLS WITH LIGHTS"   On this episode of the American Warrior Show, Rich Brown sits down with retired Navy SEAL Bill Rapier, founder of AMTAC Shooting, for a no-nonsense discussion on real-world self-defense. He is the lead instructor of over 200 Amtac Shooting courses and has trained over 2500 students since 2020. Bill is retired after twenty years in the Navy, where his duty assignments included several years at SEAL Team 3 and over 14 years at Naval Special Warfare Development Group. Positions held include assaulter, breacher, sniper, team leader, troop chief, and military working dog department senior enlisted adviser. He has always been an avid shooter and is heavily involved in combatives. Bill brings decades of experience from Naval Special Warfare, including time at SEAL Team 3 and DEVGRU, where performance under pressure wasn't optional—it was survival. Why most self-defense conversations focus too heavily on the gun—and what happens when the fight starts inside arm's reach. The importance of a layered defensive approach: awareness, decision-making, combatives, and firearms—used in the correct order. How to train shooting skills that actually transfer to real life, not just the square range. Integrating fighting and shooting so skills don't collapse when stress, chaos, and violence show up fast. Common training blind spots among armed citizens—and how to fix them with smarter practice and higher standards. Why efficiency, simplicity, and pressure-tested fundamentals matter more than flashy techniques. Practical takeaways for warriors who want skills that work when it counts, not just look good on Instagram.
