Tonight, we break down all the latest developments in the Iran war crisis as tensions continue to escalate and the conflict spreads across the region. Iran is ramping up threats and retaliatory actions, with attacks and disruptions now impacting multiple countries and critical global shipping routes. Meanwhile, the economic fallout is hitting hard. Oil prices are surging, markets are sliding, and economists warn the risk of recession is rising as inflation climbs and uncertainty grows. And through it all, the Trump administration's response raises serious questions about priorities, accountability, and whether anyone is truly in control.

The war in Iran is so unpopular, even with MAGA, that we are left searching for reasons why we are there. Many suggest these reasons are the quest for oil. Trump's ego, the Epstein files, Israel, and not to be overlooked: Christian Nationalism. Pete Hegseth is often seen leading prayer in official government capacity and is also known for his ties to controversial churches that believe such things as "women should not have the right to vote" and who would like to turn this country into a fundamentalist Christian nation. Today Don is joined by Pastor Cody Deese to explain what this all means for the future of this country and the war in Iran. This episode is sponsored by 120Life.

Tonight, Don breaks down the latest in the Iran war crisis as the situation continues to escalate with rising costs hitting Americans at home and no clear end in sight. The conflict is already driving up gas prices, and the economic ripple effects are only getting worse. Meanwhile, the messaging coming out of the Oval Office is… all over the place. As contradictions pile up and the rhetoric gets more extreme, the administration seems more focused on spinning the narrative than explaining the strategy. And in case you missed it, Trump says he doesn't “want a stupid person being president.” Well…I guess he should resign. So where does this chaos end, and how much worse does it get before it does?

Things are not going well for Donald Trump. From a struggling war effort and mounting economic concerns to slipping poll numbers and increasingly erratic messaging, he is spiraling. Despite it all, his administration continues to praise him at every turn, sometimes in ways that feel more performative than grounded in reality. As the gap between rhetoric and reality grows, we ask the obvious question: how sustainable is this, and where does it all lead? This episode is sponsored by 120Life.

This morning, we're examining the all too obvious fact that the system is collapsing. From a wildly unpopular war in Iran that keeps escalating, to an economy that feels like it's held together with duct tape and denial, to airport chaos that somehow gets worse by the day, and now untrained ICE agents thrown into the mix, everything is unraveling at once. And yet, the people in charge keep insisting everything is great. How long can this actually continue? At what point does this chaos just become the new normal? This episode is sponsored by 120Life.

Tonight, Don breaks down the contradictions, the spin, and the outright falsehoods coming from the Trump administration as the Iran crisis deepens. From claims of productive negotiations to threats of massive escalation, the messaging keeps shifting, and the truth is getting harder to find. As the administration scrambles to justify its actions, the question is simple: how much of this is strategy, and how much is chaos? And more importantly, where does it end?

Tonight, we're breaking down a situation that just keeps getting worse. The war with Iran continues to escalate, and the consequences are hitting hard, from rising gas prices to a weakening economy and growing instability at home. Meanwhile, public support is slipping fast. Polls show most Americans oppose the war and believe it's making the country less safe, with approval numbers sinking as costs rise and the strategy remains unclear. So where does this go from here? How much worse can it get? And how long can this actually last?

This morning, we're diving into one of the strangest disconnects yet in the war with Iran. Donald Trump is out here claiming “productive” negotiations are happening… meanwhile Iran is basically saying: what negotiations? So what exactly are we supposed to believe here? Is this strategy, spin… or just a narrative that exists entirely in Trump's head? We'll break down the conflicting claims, the timing of these statements, and why some are questioning whether this is about diplomacy, or optics, messaging, and even market manipulation. Because right now, the gap between reality and rhetoric is getting very hard to ignore.

Tonight, we're breaking down Donald Trump seemingly “TACO-ing” on the Iran war, and the timing has people asking some very serious questions. After days of aggressive threats and escalating rhetoric toward Iran, the sudden shift in tone is raising eyebrows. Was this a strategic retreat… or something else entirely? Many are now wondering: was this all about the markets? With stocks swinging and economic uncertainty rising, did this escalation, and now de-escalation, conveniently move the financial needle? Friend of the show, Anthony "Mooch" Scaramucci joins us to break it all down. War threats. Market moves. And a narrative that keeps changing. This episode is sponsored by 120Life.

This morning, we're diving into a wave of breaking chaos across the country. First, a terrifying situation at the airports, massive delays, long lines, and now tragedy. A jet collided with a truck at LaGuardia Airport, leaving two people dead and raising serious questions about safety and oversight. And what's the response from Donald Trump? Sending ICE agents to airports. Because apparently, untrained, masked federal agents are now the solution to aviation crises. Then we turn to the escalating war with Iran. After threatening attacks on Iran's power plants over the Strait of Hormuz, Trump is now walking it back, delaying, softening, and raising even more questions about strategy, consistency, and what the endgame actually is. Chaos at home. Confusion abroad. And a whole lot of unanswered questions. We're breaking it all down.

Hello Lemon nation! Tonight Don is joined by Rep. Jimmy Gomez of California's 34th district to discuss the Iran War, what it's like grilling Tulsi Gabbard, & the latest with the Epstein files. Why did Trump call NATO members cowards? Will the pentagon receive their request of $200 Billion to fund this war? Join Don to find this out and much more! This episode is sponsored by 120Life.

This morning, we're focusing on what the Donald Trump administration would rather you not be paying attention to: the Epstein files. After Democrats walked out of Pam Bondi's closed-door briefing, frustration is boiling over and questions are only getting louder. What was said behind those doors? What's being withheld? And why does it feel like more is being hidden than revealed? As new details continue to emerge around Jeffrey Epstein and the handling of these files, the calls for transparency and accountability aren't going anywhere.

Tonight, we're cutting through all the noise coming out of Washington, the spin, the contradictions, and the nonstop BS from Donald Trump, Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard, and the broader MAGA machine. From shifting narratives to statements that just don't add up, the cracks are showing, and people are starting to notice. And tonight, we've got a special guest. Comedian and commentator D. L.

This morning, we're diving into the growing chaos surrounding Donald Trump and his administration. Gas prices are climbing, support for the war with Iran is slipping, and Americans are clearly not buying what they're being sold anymore. Then came the testimony from Tulsi Gabbard, which raised serious questions, followed by more eyebrow-raising comments from Pete Hegseth. The messaging is falling apart, the contradictions are piling up, and people are finally starting to see through it. So what happens when the narrative collapses? And how much longer can this hold together? This episode is sponsored by 120Life. Go to https://120Life.com—and use code DON for 20% off. Try it risk-free for two weeks.

Tonight, we're breaking down the explosive testimony from Tulsi Gabbard that has everyone talking. Gabbard appeared to directly undercut Donald Trump's narrative on the Iran war. The wheels are coming off for MAGA, and the infighting is getting harder to ignore. We're breaking down the testimony, the reactions, and what it all means moving forward.

This morning, we're taking a hard look at just how badly this administration has fumbled the moment. The war with Iran continues to spiral, and the consequences are hitting Americans where it hurts, the economy. Markets are shaky, costs are rising, and there's no clear strategy in sight. Meanwhile, the chaos inside the administration is on full display. After the resignation of Joe Kent, Tulsi Gabbard is now facing tough questions before the Senate Intelligence Committee. At the same time, Markwayne Mullin is in the hot seat during his confirmation hearing to lead Homeland Security, stepping in after Kristi Noem's exit. A war with no clear end, economic fallout, and officials scrambling under pressure… it's a mess. This episode is sponsored by 120Life. Go to https://120Life.com—and use code DON for 20% off.

Gas prices are surging, markets are getting shaky, and the economic fallout is hitting fast as Trump's Iran conflict disrupts global oil supply. Meanwhile, public support is slipping, with more Americans opposing the war than supporting it and growing fears about how long this will drag on. So where does this go from here? Are we already too deep to pull back? And how much more can the economy and the American public actually take? We're breaking it all down. It's messy. It's expensive. And it's only getting worse.

Tonight, we're confronting the sheer chaos of the war with Iran, a situation that is spiraling fast and raising serious questions about leadership, judgment, and consequences. Donald Trump has pushed the country into a conflict that is already taking a toll on the economy, global stability, and everyday Americans who are now feeling the impact at home. And for what? The justification remains unclear, but the consequences are getting harder to ignore. Markets are shaky. Costs are rising. So where does this go from here? How much worse can this get? And how long are Americans expected to bear the cost of a war that many never wanted in the first place? This episode is sponsored by 120Life. Go to https://120Life.com—and use code DON for 20% off.

Tonight, we're digging into the latest developments in the escalating war with Iran, and the situation is growing more complicated by the day. The U.S. is now pushing allies for support, with NATO being asked to help secure key shipping routes like the Strait of Hormuz. But several European leaders have already signaled reluctance to get involved militarily, raising questions about whether the U.S. may be facing this conflict largely on its own. What does that mean for the trajectory of the war? Is there still a path to de-escalation, or are we heading deeper into a prolonged conflict? And with oil markets rattled and economic pressure building at home, how long can the economy absorb the shock of a major war in the Middle East? This episode is sponsored by 120Life.

This morning, we're breaking down the latest developments in the escalating conflict with Iran. With tensions rising and no clear exit strategy in sight, many are asking whether the U.S. is already too deep into this war to back out now and what the long-term consequences could be.Then we turn to the Oscars. The Oscars were this weekend, and of course Hollywood delivered its usual mix of big moments, celebrity drama, and viral headlines. War, politics, and a little pop culture… we're breaking it all down this morning.

During a press conference this morning, Pete Hegseth made a startling remark in regards to the media's coverage of the war in Iran: "The sooner David Ellison takes over that network (CNN) the better." He said the quiet part out loud. This Ellison media monopoly is shaping up to be exactly what we are fearing: state run media. Join Don to break down this story.

The world feels like it's spinning out of control. As the war with Iran continues to escalate, the country's new supreme leader is signaling there will be no backing down, vowing to continue attacks and even keep pressure on global oil routes like the Strait of Hormuz as leverage against the U.S. and its allies. At the same time, violence here at home is rattling communities across America. Tonight, Don breaks down the latest developments abroad and the disturbing wave of violence here in the U.S. What is happening right now? Should Americans be worried, and how much further could all of this go?

The war with Iran is escalating, and the consequences may be hitting America in more ways than one. Gas prices are already rising as global oil markets react to the conflict, and economists warn that a prolonged war could drive inflation higher and put even more pressure on American households. Meanwhile, the political fallout is growing at home. Poll after poll shows that more Americans oppose the conflict than support it, with many feeling the administration has failed to clearly explain its goals. So what happens if the war drags on? Is the U.S. already losing the economic battle at home? And if the strategy isn't clear… could America actually lose this war? This episode is sponsored by FFRF.

Tonight, Don breaks down the rapidly expanding conflict, the rising number of injuries and casualties, and the growing fear that this war could spiral far beyond what Americans were told to expect. The situation in Iran is escalating fast, and the human cost is climbing. New reports say roughly 140 U.S. service members have already been injured and at least seven killed since the conflict began. Meanwhile, the White House is sending mixed signals about what comes next. Officials have refused to completely rule out the possibility of a military draft, insisting that the president wants to “keep options on the table” as the war unfolds. So where is this headed? Will the U.S. actually reinstate the draft? How far are Trump and his administration willing to push this conflict?And how many more American lives will be put on the line?

This morning, we're breaking down the latest developments in the war with Iran, and the situation is becoming more alarming by the day. According to Karoline Leavitt, Trump is not ruling out the possibility of a draft, raising serious questions about how far this conflict could escalate. Meanwhile, talk of regime change appears to have gone nowhere, with the son of Ali Khamenei expected to take power, signaling an even more hardline future for the country. Back home, the fallout is already hitting Americans' wallets. Gas prices are climbing, markets are sliding, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average is taking a hit as the economic consequences of the conflict ripple across the globe. So where does this go from here? How long could this war last, and how much more strain can the economy take? Today, we're joined by journalist John Heilemann to break it all down.

In this episode of The New Rules Podcast, Adrian and Bri unpack the truth behind one of the most overused ideas in culture: being "one of one." Everyone says they want to be different, but few are willing to fight the internal war it takes to truly become who they were designed to be. This conversation explores the cost of authenticity, the battle between your past and your future, and what it really means to live as a whole person, not a performance. They discuss: Why most people are chasing uniqueness for the wrong reasons. The real difference between being different and being whole. The war between your past and your future and how to win it. How pain, purpose, and calling are connected. Why becoming 1 of 1 isn't about fame, but transformation. This is a raw and hopeful episode about the fight to be real in a culture of copies.

MAJOR MILESTONE: 100 EPISODES Today, Bri and Adrian reflect on how the show started, the doubts they had, the lessons learned along the way, and the growth they've seen in themselves and their audience. From filming on Clorox boxes to building a set, from almost quitting to finding their rhythm, this episode is about perseverance, purpose, and the power of just taking the first step. We're talking: The fears and insecurities that almost stopped the podcast early on. How commitment for one year changed everything. The evolution of authenticity and communication. What it means to take risks and be “seen trying.” The role of mentorship, feedback, and intergenerational trust. How seasons of uncertainty can still lead to clarity and conviction. Why building something that lasts matters more than going viral. This episode is a thank you to every listener, every share, every message, and every person who's believed in this journey. Here's to the next hundred.

In this episode of The New Rules Podcast, Adrian and Bri sit down with innovator, creator, and futurist, Vince Hunt, to talk about AI and the future of leadership. Instead of reacting to technology with fear, this conversation explores how we can lead with curiosity, responsibility, and courage in an era defined by rapid innovation. They unpack: The tension between fear and curiosity in how we approach AI. What AI reveals about human creativity, control, and insecurity. How faith and ethics can guide innovation. Why authentic leaders must embrace, not avoid, technological change. How to stay human while leveraging the power of machines. This is a forward-looking and deeply human conversation about progress, purpose, and the kind of leadership the future demands.

In this episode of The New Rules Podcast, Adrian and Bri dig into one of the most powerful but misunderstood concepts in our culture: authenticity. We hear the word everywhere—but what does it actually mean to live authentically? And why is it so difficult in a world obsessed with image, branding, and performance? Adrian and Bri unpack: The true definition of authenticity (beyond “just being yourself”) The hidden costs of living authentically—and the freedom it brings Why vulnerability is essential to authenticity How leaders can model authenticity without oversharing Guardrails that keep authenticity from becoming performance Why authenticity is the key to trust, connection, and real growth This episode is a challenge to stop performing, let go of the need for approval, and step into the wholeness of living authentically.

In this episode of The New Rules Podcast, Bri and Adrian dive into the aftermath of the assassination of Charlie Kirk and wrestle with one of America's most charged conversations: freedom. Is our idea of “freedom” really making society better or is it fueling violence, division, and selfishness? From political hypocrisy to the misuse of Christianity in culture wars, Bri and Adrian ask the tough questions about faith, politics, and power in today's America. They explore: Why America's definition of freedom is unraveling. The political and faith-based reactions to Charlie Kirk's death. The parallels between today's unrest and historical violence. The dangers of weaponizing Christianity in politics. How leaders can choose resilience, responsibility, and restraint in moments of chaos. This is a raw, challenging, and necessary conversation for anyone navigating leadership, faith, or cultural tension in America today.

In this raw episode, Bri and Adrian take an honest look at what the last few months have been like. From internal battles with fear and shame to external pressures of leadership, parenting, and running a growing company, they open up about the weight they've been carrying. This conversation covers the reality of mental health, the cycles of fear that resurface even with growth, and the paradox of showing up for others while struggling internally. It's an inside look at the cost of leadership, partnership, and authenticity when life feels overwhelming. If you've ever faced seasons where fear, pressure, or self-doubt made you question everything, you're not alone. This episode is a reminder that resilience is forged in the fire, and authenticity often looks like admitting when life feels too heavy.

This week on the New Rules Podcast, we flipped the script. Our incredible producer Lauren stepped in front of the mic with full permission to ask Adrian anything with no prep, no rules, no limits. From the lighthearted “What five items would resurrect your ghost?” to the deeply personal balancing calling, insecurity, and vanity, this conversation goes everywhere: marriage, parenting, community, leadership, childhood memories, and even Lauren's obsession with fire. It's unscripted, unfiltered, and unexpectedly vulnerable. If you've ever wondered what Adrian really thinks when he's off the cuff, this is the episode for you. In this episode: Marriage lessons + parenting reflections What he's learned from watching his kids grow up Childhood imagination, courage, and calling Why self-doubt and waiting felt like torture AI, authenticity, and the future of leadership Community as joy and inconvenience Why you can't force someone's growth  

We often hear, “Don't doubt yourself. Be confident.” But what if self-doubt isn't always the enemy? What if it's a tool that, when used wisely, can actually make you sharper, more grounded, and more effective? In this raw and honest conversation, Adrian and Bri explore the pros and cons of self-doubt… when it can hold you back, and when it can actually push you forward. You'll hear: Why too much confidence can be just as dangerous as too little How to recognize healthy vs. unhealthy doubt Stories of leaders and creators who leveraged self-doubt for growth Practical tools to turn insecurity into insight How to balance confidence with humility in real life This episode isn't about pretending you don't have doubts, it's about learning to think differently about them so they fuel your growth instead of your fear.

In a world overflowing with hot takes, trending reels, and endless scrolling, are you actually thinking for yourself or just reacting to what the algorithm feeds you? If you've ever felt overwhelmed by constant noise, frustrated by polarized thinking, or stuck in a loop of reacting instead of reflecting, this episode is for you. Adrian Crawford and Breezy dive deep into the discipline of critical thinking and why it's becoming a rare but essential skill for leaders, creators, and anyone navigating modern life. We explore: Why groupthink is more dangerous than ever How anxiety and overstimulation quietly erode creativity and wisdom The difference between information and understanding How to filter, process, and apply wisdom in a fast-paced world This isn't just a conversation, it's a challenge to stop living in the loop of consumption and start applying what you know. Because wisdom isn't found in knowing more… it's in thinking better.

This week's episode takes a deeply personal turn. Adrian sits down with his daughters for a raw and reflective conversation about what it's really like to grow up watching a parent live on mission. From the moments that shaped them to the things they never said out loud until now, we explore the unseen cost of leadership at home—and what it takes to lead and love well in both public and private. Together with Bri, they explore honest questions, emotional moments, and meaningful reflection. This is a conversation for anyone navigating purpose, leadership, and parenthood.  

In an era where performance is currency and platforms reward polished personas, how do we return to what's real? In this episode of The New Rules Podcast, Adrian and Bri get brutally honest about… well, honesty. From pop culture moments like Love Island and social media virality to systemic mistrust in government and leadership, we trace the cultural shift that's made authenticity feel more like a performance than a practice. We ask: Why do we praise vulnerability online but punish it in real life? What happens when we lose ourselves in the name of influence? Can we lead authentically in a world built on curated identity? This episode is a raw, challenging unpacking of why honesty is now a radical act  and why the leaders who choose truth over performance will shape the future.

In this powerful episode of The New Rules Podcast, recorded live at the Black Leadership Summit, Adrian and Bri are joined by two respected voices in leadership, Tyler Burns and Du'Bois A'Keen, for an unfiltered, behind-the-scenes conversation. They don't offer platitudes or recycled leadership clichés. Instead, they get honest about the weight of responsibility, the danger of being platformed too early, and the tension between authenticity and expectation. Together, they reflect on their personal leadership journeys, the pressure of leading while being watched, and the internal work it takes to lead with integrity, not image. If you've ever wondered whether you're doing leadership “right” or felt like the weight of it was too much, this conversation is for you.

In a world where creativity is reserved for artists and leadership is reserved for extroverts, this episode challenges both assumptions. Adrian and Bri pull back the curtain on a deeper, more integrated view of creativity, one rooted not in flair, but in function. From basketball courts to boardrooms, from faith to finance, they explore how real creativity emerges, sometimes out of desperation. It's about solving problems, building what's missing, and refusing to wait for permission. Together, they tackle why most people underestimate their creative potential, how fear and anxiety suppress imagination, and why black-and-white thinking keeps us from designing real solutions. They also reflect on how leadership without creativity is obsolete and why the future belongs to those who can build what hasn't existed yet. Whether you're leading a team, building a business, or just trying to believe in yourself again, this conversation will ignite your sense of ownership and remind you: you're more creative than you think.

Leadership is changing—and the leaders who thrive in today's fast-paced world are the ones who can make quick, confident decisions under pressure. In this episode of The New Rules Podcast, Adrian breaks down a simple but powerful 3-step framework that every leader needs for sharp, effective decision-making. Learn how to:  Use self-awareness to guide your thinking in high-stakes moments Perform decision “autopsies” that help you grow from mistakes and wins Apply first-principle thinking to cut through the noise and focus on what matters This isn't about moving fast just to keep up. It's about moving with clarity, confidence, and intention—even when the pressure is on.

In a world filled with uncertainty, leadership isn't about waiting for clarity—it's about finding the next “yes” in the midst of chaos. In this episode, Adrian and Bri dive into the challenge of building something meaningful when the rules keep changing. From NIL and the transfer portal in college athletics to launching new ventures in economic downturns, they explore what it means to lead, risk, and stay grounded in purpose—even when nothing feels stable. You'll hear:  - How to lead authentically when systems feel unfair or inconsistent - Why fear and apathy are the biggest threats in uncertain times - What “finding the yes” looks like in real-life decision-making - Lessons from launching businesses in economic downturns - How to develop the resilience to keep going when you're exhausted Reflection Questions: What's one area of your life where you're waiting for clarity before moving forward? Where are you blaming external systems instead of asking “What can I do?” What's one risk you've been avoiding that could lead to real growth?
